Ice Halls Army Bomber's S
Altitude Test Cruise
BY the Associated Press.


DAYTON, Ohio. Jan. 22-Bad
weather and icing conditions forced
a four motor Boeing Army bomber
to return to Patterson Field at 7:30
am. today. cutting short a proposed
3,00O-mile high-altitude test cruise.
Maj. James E. Parker, in charge
of acceleration test operations at
the field. said the craft covered
nearly $500 miles on a flight to
Albany. N. Y, and Boston; thence
down the coast to Savannah, Ga,
and west to Nashville, Tenn, and
Louisville, KY.
The bomber was aloft about 1312
hours on the Air Corps second cruise
of its kind this month. Most of the
flight was around $4,000 feet, Maj.
Parker said.

German Dive Bombers
In Mediterranean
Cause Concern Here
American Experts Fearful
Of Effect on Limited
British Shipping
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
American exports took grave
view today of the British situation
resulting from the concentration Of
German dive bombers in the Med
iterranean.
They expressed apprehension that,
as long as this concentration was
maintained, British supply ships
bound for Greece and Egypt would
be compelled to take the long route
around Africa and through the Suez
Canal.
This would require more ships
than the direct route through the
Mediterranean, thus making addi-
tional demands on Britain's limited
merchant marine. Furthermore, it
would add weeks to the time neces-
sary for supplies to go from Eng
land to the forces opposing the Ital-
ians.
Can Work From Pantellaria.
Experts here said the Stuka planes
sent by Hitler to Italy could operate
not only from numerous flying fields
in Sicily, but also from the italian
Island of Pantellaria, which lies
midway between Sicily and the
northern coast of Africa at a point
where the Mediterranean is less than
100 miles wide. Ships traVerSing the
Mediterranean must pass through
this bottleneCk and therefore come
within easy range of the land-based
dive bomberS.
The narrow part of the Mediter-
ranean is too extensive for convoy
to pass entirely through it at night.
experts said. and the protection af-
forded by hours of darkness will de-
crease steadily as the days grow
longer.
Belief was expressed in authori-
tative circles here that the value of
a British naval base at Malta, about
so miles south of Sicily, as place
where naval vessels may be over
by the recent axis air raids upon
that stronghold.
There is little thought here, how
ever, that the British can be driven
out of Malta. There is an airfield
on the island, and the British are
obtaining an increasing number of
fast fighter planes both in the
United States and at home.
Some Bombers Can Get Through.
Fighter planes which can be
spared from England and main
tanned in the Mediterranean will
undoubtedly continue to take a
heavy toll of the dive bombers, it
was said, because they are faster
than the heavier ships, designed to
carry 1,0OO-pound bombs. But
some of the Stukas can continue
to get through and blast their tar
gets if Hitler is willing to pay the |
price, it was predicted.
In well-informed quarters 1t was
said that the Germans were not |
interfering with their present aerial |
operations against England by send |
ing the dive bombers to Italy. The |
present raids against England are
made mostly at night, and dive |
pombers are not designed for this |
purpose.
Experts explained that pilots can
not see well enough at night to
know when they must pull out of |
their dives to avoid a crash. The
Stukas can be spared to operate in
the Mediterranean, it was said, un-
less and until Hitler makes an all
out attack directly on England.
Then he would need them in that
area
