ers, its most experienced and serv-
lce-seasoned military and naval COM

IN Europe have scrapped all Ameri-
can defense theories of the past.
Even before word of new German
victories in Belgium and France
brought UNNECESSARILY closer the
possibility of complete Allied defeat
IN the war, a grave defect in Ameri.
can defense planning had impressed
itself on responsible leaders from the
White House down.
1t is not a question merely of O n
~troversies over particular types of
weapons. This writer can state on
interchangeable authority that it is
a revision of the whole fabric of ma

in the innermost high command cir
cles of the sister services, have for
years been shaped to actualities.
They reckoned with known and def
mite military quantities such as
fleets, armies and equipment against
which this country might have to
fight.
Closely Guarded
The war plans that fill closely
guarded shelves in the war and navy
departments are of that nature.
They start with a careful estimate
of the clashing interests between this
nation and another, whether eco
nomic, racial OF ~philosophic, which
could lead to war.
From that is deduced the most
probable objective at which such an
enemy would or could strike in war.
Into the calculation enters also a
survey of probable or possible enc
my allies. The degree of neutrality
to be expected of other nations is
also gagged in the light of confiden-
tial diplomatic information.
On that factual framework, up to
now, American plans have been fash
Toned. Out of them came conclusions
as to necessary active and reserve
strength afloat, ashore and in the
air. These, in turn, shaped annual
requests to congress for funds.
In the judgment of the highest
ranking military leadership in Wash
ington, the day of defense planning
against foreseeable contingencies has
ended. The administrations emergen-
cy defense budget is a definite step
toward evolving and implementing a
new defense policy to meet any pos
sible threat.
That means an industrial struc-
ture to arm and equip the fighting
forces adequately ever if the maxi
mum war effort were called for sud-
denly.

I recalled he had said to me,

We were not over so yards apart

with only bruises.

bined effect of preparation and sur
prise by substituting attack aviation
for artillery.
The Germans made the initial 3D.
ening in the pocket by attacking on
a restricted front and then shifting
the force of attack to a neighboring
sector so quickly that it seemed al
most a simultaneous action.
The action opened almost as soon
as the French had rolled into action
in Belgium and dug their hasty com.
bat trenches behind rocks and under
trees.
Fleets of 800 to 400 German planes
dived and bombed French nests in
each sector.
AS fast as they swooped-at some
200 miles an hour-to drop bombs
from a height of sometimes no more
than 100 yards, they turned and
swooped again to machine-gun sol.
diers who remained.
After the air attack, as many as
ten armored divisions of medium and
heavy tanks crashed against the
narrow front, spewing fire from
their flame-throwers.
Trailing the tanks, light motorized
infantry rushed to take over the ter
ritory.
AS soon as the crack blitz divisions
had smashed into one sector, they
suddenly were shifted in an effort
to strike a d~emoralizing blow against
another.
The best defense the French
brought against the constant air at
tacks was individual rifle fire. A
staff officer explained that an infan-
tryman in an advanced position had
a better chance of using a light
rifle, which he could swing about to
follow the plane, than the more
cumbersome machine-gun.
The general opinion non French
military observers is that the Ger
man high command is stalking every

And you will save them

trouble in adulihood

wv perfect feet - chubby pink
w and-white objects of such ex-
quisite interest - it is hard to think
of them as ever to be subject to the
common foot troubles that bedevil so
many adults. Yet, it is during the
tender years of childhood that most
common defects and many serious
disabilities of the feet arise If, for
instance, Grandmother wants to trace
the origin of her bunion. she may have
to go back to childhood when her lit
tie toes were forced back on her foot
with a too-short shoe or stocking,
though the same thing may happen
at any age if your shoes are not long
enough.
My authority for this is Dr. Joseph
Lelyveld, director of the National
Foot Health Council, an advisory
bureau for the prevention of foot
defects in children. He says: IF you
will keep your child's feet normal dur
ing the first ten years of her growth,
you help her to look forward to reason

inner line straight. Heels should be
broad at the base and made of leather,
with rubber taps to absorb the shocks
that come from active movement on
hard, unyielding surfaces Run-over
heels should never be tolerated, since
they cause foot strain. weak ankles
and improper body balance
Avoid Too-Hsovy Shoes
NEVER buy, for the sake of their
long and rugged wear, too-heavy or
too-stif shoes that over-exert the
delicate muscles of a child's feet. As a
rule, children outgrow shoes faster
than they outwear them. Some chill
dren's feet at certain ages outgrow
shoes in from four to six weeks So, if
you want to safeguard their feet, pass
up shoes that have only lastingness
to recommend them.
Examine the soles and heels of
outworn shoes for signs of wear that
would indicate foot defects. Any sign
of favoring one part of a shoe in
preference to another is bad, and both
the foot and the shoe should be exam
ined by foot specialist
Teach your child to toe straight
ahead. TOeing out weakens the ankles
and arches, and spoils a graceful car
riage With only little patience on a
mothers part, any normal child can
be trained to walk straight line. This
is the footwork that gives the Indian
his swift, graceful stride, throwing the
weight of the body on the outer bor-
ders of the feet, and saving strain on
the arches.
Make sure that little bare feet are
covered with paper or rubber slippers
when they patter in and out of public
showers or gymnasium lockers This is
her protection against athletes foot,
which is not only annoying. but pain
full, and has tendency to reappear
In considering any troublesome foot
conditions, remember, finally. that the
childish feet cannot be regarded as
members separate from the childish
bodies. frequently, disturbances in a
child's feet or legs indicate disorders
in the general health. To be on the
safe side, therefore, it is always well to
consult your family physician for a
check-up to make sure what the source
of the trouble is.

large enough to allow for shrinkage
after they are washed, and discard
little stockings as fast as the toes
grow. Buy broad-toed stockings in
preference to pointed ones. These rules
apply to stockings for all growing chill
dren. and are. in fact. rules that adults
also should follow.
Many adult foot troubles can be
traced to improperly fitted, burden
some, hand-me-down or out-grown
shoes during childhood. When used by
qualified person, one of the best
devices for determining the proper fit
of shoe is the Horoscope, an X-ray
device that let's you see what happens
to toes imprisoned in shoe leather.
Lacking that, make sure that the
shoes are wide and long enough for the
child's feet to expand in free, easy
movements. The materials of both
sole and uppers should be flexible and
supple. The toes of the shoes should
be full and round, the arch snug. the
