United States, Including
Alaska Vulnerable 10 Air
Attacks; Mitchell Said Il
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, June %. - -Four
years ago, one-time Brigadier Gen.
eral William Billy Mitchell
prophet of modern aerial warfare
died after being court-martialed by
the United States Army.
Billy Mitchell, son of
United States Senator, enlisted
as a private in the war with
Spain in 1898 and 20 days after
enlistment was made an officer
at the age of 18-youngest Off
Ger in the Spanish American
War.
Fifteen years before the sec
Ond World War, General Nit
ohell said: "An air attack di-
rected against England has
greater chance of success than
an attack by sea or land. I'm
doubtedly this is how she will
be attacked, she is more vulner-
able than ever before"
Mitchell re enlisted after the
Spanish american War and served
in the Philippine instruction. the
Cuban rebellion in 1906-7, and the
Mexican border trouble in 1916.
Less than 10 years later and
long before any preHnt-day
congressman had cast his vote
for the great defense program,
Brigadier General Mitchell said:
1.-TWO overseas routes flor
planes attacking the United
States) are perfectly feasible.
One is over the Atlantic by way
of Iceland and Greenland to
Canada and the other is over
the Pacific, by way of Siberia,
Alaska and the Pacific coast
islands"
Colonel Mitchell was the first
American officer under fire in the
World War and april %, 1910
the first American flying officer to
cross the enemy lines.

A Much Better Job

In the storm of Wednesday
night, the street department
showed itself more equal to emer-
gencies than during several win
tiers past. Its workers refused
to let the snow get the jump on
them, but were out with their
plows in the evening dusk while
the snow was still falling and the
wind still raging, keeping the
principal arteries of travel open
and navigable. It was due to this
vigorous work by Supt. Herbert
Scott Smith that BUSES ran close
to schedule up to their last trips
of the night and that their service
was in part at least resumed at a
reasonably early hour this morn
ing.
The performance shines by COM
parison with the Hayes-Leary days
when a politics-ridden department
let snow accumulation get so far
ahead of removal efforts that
prayers for thaw were about all
the hope we had of return to
normal.
There were hardships and i'm
pediment as result of the heavy
storm as there always will be in a
city of Waterbury's peculiar to-
biography. But intelligent work by
the street department kept them
close to minimum.
In fact, for the first time in
years the city hall driveway wasn't
tust about the sole concern of the
snow shovelers.

Worst DELAYS In Years

"UIoV DCA1yo XAl Il Ch1S
Waterbury motorists today ex-
perienced some of the worst traf-

to the inability of the street de-
partnent to clear sufficient space
for free two-way movement of

main streets.
Ice ruts and high Snowbanks
forced traffic to move cautiously.
Automobiles without chains were
stalled in many places. Trucks
halted in the middle Of the street
to make deliveries and further
aggravated the situation. Num-
erous minor accidents were re-
ported by pedestrians who had a
decided advantage over those in
cars.
East Main street from just east of
Meriden road was the horrible
example,. Five drivers reported
it took them As to SO minutes to

cat the same time, we must rec

adequate for the proper defense Of
our country and its citizens"
Praises Spirit
Governor Baldwin was strong
in his praise for the Connecticut
National Guard, which, he said,
exeInplifies "the spirit Of the vol
unteer offering his services" The
governor shared the last three
minutes Of his program with Adj
jutant General Reginald B. Della
cour, commanding officer of the
National Guard IN this state.
During the past year." the gov
ernor pointed out, rigid physical
examinations have been held for
all Of the officers In the National
Guard. These examinations have
corrected many physical defects
that might have eliminated our
Connecticut officers from taking
the field If called upon.
AT the same time" Governor
Baldwin said, some of the older
officers have retired after CIV
ing loyal and faithful service to
the state and building UP a morale
which is not matched in the Ma
tional Guard or any other state"
The State has recently been adj
vised, the governor brought out,
that another unit, an anti-ari-
crate battalion, will be added to
the 242nd Coast Artillery.
Need More Units
"This is the first step in i'm
proving the anti-aircraft defense
Of Connecticut and her great in
dustires, and we are very hope
full that within a relatively short
time additional anti-aircraft units
win be added to our National
Guard.
I'VE believe that the War De-
partment will agree that these
additional anti-aircraft units are
essential to the protection Of Con-
necticut's important industries"
In his talk, General Delacour
declared that he had served in two
other National Guard units beside
Connecticut, but in Connecticut

pose Of the officers and men oi
