Nazi gang, if the victorious" and "conquering" German Army, oc- cupying a dozen lands, could not protect the Germans at home? What would Germany do with an army invincible but largely useless? What would be the eff feet on the nations conquered by Germany, or acting as vaSsal allies when British air super iority was established?
 For there is a tremendous diff ference between the British and Germany psychology in this war. The British are able to take ter rife punishment from the air because they know that their on- ly alternative is a barbarous and intolerable slavery. But the Ger man alternative to punishment from the air is merely to change leadersand to give up booty and insensate ideas of world con- quest. That is why there is real hope that the present war can be won in the air.

Vast Teletypc
 System Under CA Program

WASHINGTON, D. C. - To help meet the increasing volume of traffic due to greatly expand ed civil and military air opera tions, 24,000 additional miles of teletype lines will be added to the CA weather reporting sys- tenn on July l.
 This announcement is made by Brig. Gen. Donald H. Connally, administrator of civil aeronautics who adds that the new addition will bring the weather reporting system to 55,000 miles, divided into two networks designated as Schedules A and C.
 At present Schedule A, which comprises approximately 30,0OO miles of lines is used for collect ing and distributing hourly wea ther reports, upper air data. syn optic weather reports used in the preparation of maps, notices to a!rmen, and forecasts. Although CA communication engineers have developed new procedures and transmission techniques, the existing circuits are now handl- ing such a large volume of tra- fife that the mechanical capacity of the equipment is just about reached.
 However, the volume of traffic continues to increase and the new circuit, which will be known as Schedule C, will gradually take over the work of disseminat .ng the synoptic reports and fore casts leaving A to handle the hourly and special surface wea- ther reports.
 There is third network known as Schedule B, compris- ing about 14,000 miles of lines, which is used exclusively for air way traffic control.
 Schedule C will connect ap- proxlmately l9l important air traffic or meteorological centers by means of 24,27O miles of leas- ed wire circuits. Ii will provide for the rapid handling of all in formation needed by the Wea- ther Bureau for forecast purpos- es and permit Schedule A to re- sume its original function of pro viding current weather informa- ton for highly concentrated areas, which function has been curtailed in order to handle in formation from coast to coast now proposed to be handled by Schedule C.
 The additional lines will serve, among other places, Detroit, Den yer, Louisville, Houston, Mem phis, Knoxville, Indianapolis, New Orleans, San Francisco, Dayton, Pensacola and Albuquer que.

How To Win The War?

Many Americans seem to as sume that the war can be ended only by the direct defeat of the German Army. This assumption, logical as it seems on the basis of the history of most other wars ever fought, is open to question in 194l, This war has revolution ized or destroyed conventional strategic concepts that had stood for generations. German air pow CT for example, has sharply con tracted the previous advantages of British sea power. The first clear evidence of this came in the Norwegian campaign. We have seen it illustrated recently over the Greek islands in the Aegean; over the Mediterranean: in the campaign in Libya; in the Battle of the Atlantic, and in the crucial battles in the sky over Britain itself. The British have been able to defend their fleet and 10 score their most spectac- ular victories Gas in the Battle of Cape Matapan and the sink ing of the Bismark) only by their own air power. It is British air power as much as sea power that keep Hitler from invading England today.
 But this revolution in warfare has its reverse potentiality-that air power can just as sharply re- duce the advantages of land pow CT. This potentiality has been con cealed so far by the fact that Germany, the nation that has land superiority, also has air su periority. Germany even owes its land superiority in fact, large ]y to its air superiority; for if the air situation had been revers ed, it is hardly conceivable that France, in spite of German tanks would have been conquered to- day.
 Let us suppose that American help could hold Britain in the war long enough for America and Britain combined to gain air superiority over Germany. This achievement is not as easy as it is sometimes presented as being, but it is more than possible. Then, though Germany might be everywhere victorious on the Continent, the British could bomb industrial and military ob- jectives in Germany and on the French coast almost at will. What would be the feeling in Germany, what would happen to the prestige of Hitler and his

Biggest Air plane, the B-l9, Is Tested

SANTA MONICA, Calf, June 30 The worlds biggest airplane, 50 tons of Douglas bomber. cost ing S3.500,000 successfully nego- tiated its first flight yesterday. The huge "B-19" bomber took off from the $500 Santa Monica airfeld in IT seconds and need ed only 1000 feet of the field for the take off. The craft then flew a short distance out to sea, cir cled back over the Douglas plant which built it, and then landed neatly on March army field.
 Biggest AIrplane Tested
 The powerful ship was piloted by Major Stanley Umstead. The major said the huge bomber flew like kite on its short hop. He added that the bomber had a tendency to 'balloon' because she was underloaded. She will weigh about 81 tons when load ed to capacity, but weighed only slightly more than 50 tons on her first fight.
 It cost a premium of $80.000 to insure the B-19 for the first minute of her take-off. After that the insurance rate was $3,000 an hour.
 Four Years in Building
 The B-l9 has been four years in building. Back of the actual construction period lies another eight years of research and ex- periments. The bomber is cap- able of carrying 41 tons of fuel, crew and fighting equipment. It has a wing spread of PIP feet and is l32 feet long.
 The huge plane normally will carry a crew of ten, although seven men were aboard the bomber on its maiden practice flight.
 Despite the size of the ship, Army officials declared that ii was considered as laboratory for experiments in even larger and better planes.
