WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. The coat-tails of National Defense cer- tainly are weighted down. There are more things (and people, rid- ing Oh them than you could shake a bomber at. I don't mean to say that these things fand people, are good or bad. It will take that all- seeing backward glance of history to tell whether this or that was waste or a rare stroke of genius.
 But good or bad, National De- fcnse is mothering an interesting brood. For instance one of these lusty infants popped up in the House of Representatives the other day i'll the form of a bill by Rep. John Martin Costello, HollyWood's Democratic congressman. It Is an- other measure designed to put Am erica on wings-this time on motorless wings-for if MT. Cos tellos bill becomes law, the air over the United States will be filled with gliders, piloted by soaring young hosts, committed to learn

pilot lets go his bomb and sets his controls to come out of the dive. He sets his controls in advance because he's likely to black out on the climb. The human machine all but gives up under the sudden pull of gravity. A pilot usually comes to in less than a minute.
 The reason these ships perform with uncanny accuracy, is be- cause the bomb is in the nose, and the nose it aimed at the target. Thus the bomb, when released, continues the line of flight.
 Surprise Is Big Help
 The dive bomber is particularly deadly in close quarters where it can surprise the enemy before fighter planes get up. That's why it was such an overwhelming suc- cess against the French last year. and that's why it's playing hob with British conveys in the Sicilian channel. Based at Pantelleria, the Italian naval base, and at Catania on the Island of Sicily, bomber fly ing times to the British convoy routes through the channel are 6 and 10 minutes, respectively. It takes almost that long for a con- voys alerting system to work.
 There are three good reasons why the Germans have not poured more Stukas into the Mediterra- mean, in the view of experts.
 l. It's hard to transport already scarce oil to the Italian boot, and across water to Sicily.
 2. Thes Germans have no com petent navy to follow up the spo- radio victories.
 3. They don't dare defect much of their strength from the main show in the British Isles.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
 IS EXPECTED SOON
Declares Two Agencies Have Jurisdiction Over
 Timber, Brown Bears

WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond ha s made a protest to President Roose- velt against any action to place Ad- miraIty in Southeast Alaska as . National Monument.
 Delegate DImond said he has re- liable information that such a move ment is underway and the President will soon be asked to sign an Execu- tive Order making the transfer.
 The island. 120 miles long and . miles wide, is already in the Ma tional Forest, said Delegate Dimond, and this protects the huge forests. while the Alaska game laws pro- tect the brown bears.
 Delegate Dimond says the island is only 65 miles from the Glacier Bay National Monument which he said is now proposed to be extended to take in Admiralty Island.
 The Delegate said Indians reside on the island, and if it is brought into the monument they will be de- prived of their hunting grounds. A number of other citizens will be similarly affected and compelled to leave. their homes.
 The Delegate said the island is heavily timbered, useful in the man. ufacture of pulp if that industry is established in the territory and it might be found advisable to have the timber available for use for that purpose.

WASHINGTON = The New Deal has hired more publicity men and run off more miles of mimeograph- ed press handouts than any other administration in history. Yet the biggest and most worthwhile job of propaganda today remains con- pletely untouched. It is the job which George Greet did for Europe during the last World War.
 For it is an indisputable fact that Americ propaganda and the speeches of Woodrow Wilson, perco- Iating behind the lines in Germany and Austria, helped materially to cause the 1918 collapse of the Gen. tral Powers.
 Today, confidential plan for a similar propaganda gency is some where in the White House where, no one knows exactly Drawn up two months ago by certain chiefs of the War Department. it was sent to the White House with the recommends ton that such a plan could do al- most as much as airplanes to bring about the defeat of Hitler. But nothing happened. The idea still is reposing on the desk of one of the six White House secretaries.
 U. s. war chiefs are convinced that this country can perform two important propaganda functions: l. Get across to the people of
 Italy and Germany the disad-
 vantage of Hitler, the advant-
 ages of democracy. and the
 general idea that there is nc
 quarrel between the peoples
 themselves.
 2. Bring about greater national
 unity within the United States
 especially among foreign-born
 naturalized citizens of German
 and Italian extraction.

The Italian communique today said British troops landed in the region of Calbria -Lucania, in south- ern Italy Monday night with ma- chine guns. hand grenades and other explosives.
 The communique states that the alertness of Italian sentinels frus- trated the attempt and the landed Britishers were rounded up before they could do any serious damage.
 Two Italians were killed. however, the communique states. before the Britishers were captured.
 British military sources in London state that any invasion of Italy's home soil is news to them and hint ed that the alleged parachutists might have merely been fliers bail ing out from downed bombers.

 Threat of Invasion
MORE FUNDS. FOR
 ALASkA PREDICTED
Delegate Dimond Makes Statement Regarding
 Future Expenditures

WASHINGTON, Feb l4 An thony J. Dimond, Delegate from AL aska. in statement, says he expects ample funds will be appropriated by Congress to carry forward defense of the Territory, which. with the more than $40.OO0.O00 appropriated last year will put Alaska in shape to meet any invasion threat
 Delegate Dimond said: T do not expect any more funds to be ap- propriated for Fairbanks, except pos sible enough to complete the Army Base there. but do expect ccnsid- erable funds for expansion at Am chorage. 5itka. Kodiak and UnaIas- ka.
 r Troops For Base Defense
 There are 4,000 ground troops now in Alaska and expect eventually that this number will be increased to 10000. The ground troops will be used purely to defend the air bases from attack They will be defensive troops, sufficient to do this as the actual defense of Alaska will be by the air forces"
 Delegate Dimond said the Army appropriation bill has not yet been received by Congress but the Naval appropriation bill submitted to Con- gress last Tuesday contains funds for Alaska. including the Sitka and Kodiak bases, totaling close to s28,- 100000.
 Fighting Planes
 Delegate Dimond predicted the Unalaska Air Station, for which more than s1000O,0O0 is included in the Naval appropriation bill. will be equipped with fighting planes ready to meet any threat in the west.
 The Delegate further said: T an- ticipate Congress will make ample appropriations for Alaska defense. Last year the appropriation by Con- gress was more than $40,000.000 and ether Government funds for Federal expenditures brought the total sum to $59000.O0O

WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-Amer- ican military and naval experts are getting new and astounding evil dcnce from U. s. observers abroad that the dive bomber in capable hands can be the most effective single weapon of modern warfare.
 Fewer than 100 German dive bombers tStukas) in almost no time have accomplished what the entire Italian navy and air force combined failed to accomplish ill seven months.
 They have made the central Mediterranean dangerous for the British Navy and merchantmen. They have forced the British to abandon plans to send home to Britain most of their huge Medi- terranean naval forces. And, fi- nally, they have tarnished British victory, just when the Axis seemed about to suffer it's first decisive defeat since Hitler came to power in 1883.
 Damage One Sided
 Even if all of the Stukas had been lost, and they weren't by any means, the total material loss to Germany would have been about $5,000,0O0. Damage to the British sea forces since January 10 in ac- tions led by Stukas may ulti- mately count up well over $200,- 00O,CO0, apart from the lost serv- ices of important warships
 All this doesn't mean that air power at last has beaten sea power, Far from it.
 The British blockade of the Mediterranean is almost 100 per- cent intact The British have moved all their conveys without the loss of ship in an attacked convoy except naval vessels. The British fleet still is patently in control of the. Mediterranean.
 But the British wounds are great. One cruiser has been sunk The Germans claim hits on three battleships and many smaller war ships. One British aircraft carrier has been put out of action for a long time to come. British silence indicates the battleship hits may be serious.
 The dive bomber is an Ameri- can invention and has been part of our naval forces for years. The Army had rejected it until the German victory over France last spring. The Army now is investi- gating it's possibilities.
 It's a Specialist
 The dive bomber has neither the speed nor maneuverability of the thoroughbred fighter, nor the full load destructive power and range of the true bomber Top speed in straightaway flight is 250 to 300 miles an hour, fully loaded with one 1,0O0-pound or two 5O0-pound bombs. When 50 loaded it hasn't a chance against fast fighter plane The dive bomber drops its stinger on one dive-two at the most. And it has no range of flight worth mentioning.
 
 The dive bomber is not really effective until it actually drops its nose for dive. After that, it is al- most invincible. It's going toe fast for anti-aircraft gunners te set their fuses and fire, or. fighter planes to catch. Maximum speed is around 430 miles an hour. ol better at the bottom of it's steer diving "V' At that point tht
