"Miss Victory "
To Be Honored
AtDec. 5 RaM

A Miss Victory, who will be
honored at the Victory Rally spon-
sored by the Civilian Defense
Council on December 5, will be
chosen by means of contest which
the Greenbelt Athletic Club is
sponsoring. This contest will be
similar to the Miss Defense contest
held in connection with the De-
fense Rally last February. That
contest netted 5000 for the use of
the local Civilian Defense Corps in
purchasing supplies. Miss Helen
Kaighn, 13-V Ridge Road, was
chosen Miss Defense; with Joan
Mcnamara, sc Crescent Road,
runner-up.
AS in the previous contest, votes
will cost l cent each. This time,
however, 5 and 10 cent, as well as
1 cent ballots will be available,
making it unnecessary for those
wishing to cast multiple votes to
write the names of their candidates
on each vote.
Ballot boxes will be located in
the theater, food store, drug store,
variety store, and cigar store.
Only those candidates who have
received at least $50 votes by No
vember "a, will be qualified to
continue in the contest after that
date. A score board will be placed
in one of the above stores.
Ballots may be obtained from
]. C. Smith, All Southway; AL
Shaeffer, 6-F Crescent Road; Les
ter Sanders, lie Ridge Road; and
at the Athletic Clubhouse. Enve-
lops will be placed beside each
ballot box. These may be used for
voting. The name of the candidate
should be written on the outside,
the amount of money being voted
sealed in, and the envelope placed
in the ballot box.
"It is hoped" said President
Sanders, "that every organization
in town will nominate candidates
and give them strong support, so
that this contest will be even more
successful than the Miss Defense
contest"

'Eye-for-Eye' Treatment
OF Nazis Urged in Britain
BY the Associated Press.

BLACKPOOL, England, Sept. T.
The Germans will make another
attempt to enslave Europe after
they lose this war unless they "have
meted out to them what they've
meted out to millions of their fellow
creatures" Frank Wolstencroft
warned labor today In his presi-
Dental address opening the an
nual conference of the British Trade
Union Congress.
"In all our planning and think
ing, freedom and justice must pre-.
vail" he declared, but he went on
to say that II am one OF those
who feel bound to recognize that
vast majority Of the German
people-all that matter-were be-
hind the Nazi gangsters when they
gave effect to their policy of at
tempting the conquest and domina-
ton of Europe"

people are. prepared to accept,

themselves better for the decisive
moment now approaching. Follow
Gen. Mihailovic. Act only on his
signal"
Caution Urged on Norwegians.
Premier Johan Nygaardsvold of
the Norwegian government in Lon
don counseled his people TO avoid
"imprudent behavior which could
only endanger lives" He said the
plea was made particularly in con-
nection with preparations by the
Germans and the Quisling regime to
set up a national assembly, or
"Riksthing."
Norwegian government sources
predicted such a step would be pro-
claimed at the observance Septem-
Der 1927 of the second anniversary
of the Qusling cabinets accession
to power.
The Gestapo and traitors now
are trying to find an excuse for car
rying out their plans by provoking
our countrymen to commit rash ac-
tions," Premier Nygaardsvold said.
A message broadcast on behalf OF
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
urged the people of Luxembourg to
maintain their resistance to the
Nazis despite the criminal step" OF
incorporating them into the Reich
and conscripting their young men.
London sources declared this first
incorporation of an entire country
;o+o tIa DoioI1 oo,,ld ha ipterr,reted
only as an admission of an increas-
ingly acute need for manpower to
replace losses on the Russian front.
Final Reckoning Seen.
The broadcast to Luxembourg was
in line with a recent broadcast by
Prime Minister Pierre Dupong of
the Luxembourg government in
exile, who told his fellow country
men that "the day will come when
there will be final reckonening'
and the German rulers in Luxem-
bourg will pay for each drop shed
of innocent Luxembourg blood
Meanwhile, DR.. Eduard Benes,
President of the provisional Czech
government, opened campaign to
raise $4,000 to recreate after the
war the martyred village Of Lidice
with a demand for postwar punish
ment of the German people until
they are convinced they must not
start third world war within two
generations.
The campaign is sponsored by the
Miners Federation of Britain.

pacity for flying ut a height Of
10000 feet or more. At such alti-
tudes they are relatively safe from
all but the largest anti-aircraft can
non and all but the most modern
interceptors. Thus they enjoy the
inestimable privilege of operating
by daylight. The Stirling and Lam
caster, with service ceilings of 20,000
and 21,000 feet respectively, are
largely confined to night bombing,
which by nature is indiscrinainate
and inaccurate.
Equipped with the Norden sight,
which the American armed forces
appear not to have shared with any
| associate in the war, and with OBJ
jectives clearly outlined by the suns
| rays, the Fortress, in Europe and
the Pacific, and the Liberator in the
Mediterranean and China, have
proved capable of precision bomb
ing that is uncannily exact. 1t is
markworthy that Maj. Seversky,
chief critic of the Army Air Forces,
strongly defends the American tech
nique of long distance, daylight pre-
cision bombardment, on the ground
that it Is better to destroy an ele-
phant with one bullet through the
heart than to pepper its general
anatomy with shots at random.
Startling even to their sponsors
has been proof that American heavy
bombers are powerful defensive as
we'll as offensive weapons. The
London Daily Mail confesses that
the exploits of Fortresses in beating
off swarms of the best German pur-
suits ARE likely to lead to a drastic
resorting of basic ideas on air war
fare which have stood firm since
the infancy of flying" Early For
tresses were vulnerable to attack
from above and behind, but these
blind spots" were erased in 1941
by the installation of top and rear
!; gun turrets.
Fortresses Confound Critics.
British critics who had nicknamed
the Fortresses Flying Targets" have
been confounded by the record, so
,, far unequaled by any bomber
in Europe, which was set up by
Bits during the first two weeks of
their operation over the continent
,, During that time they executed
seven large-scale raids and more
than 100 sorties, without the loss OF
plane, but are credited with
|. shooting down four enemy craft
and severely damaging nine others
3 On most Of the trips they were pro-
tected by British fighters, but or
August 81, it is related, ii Fortresses
flying unescorted over the North
Sea, were attacked by 25 Nazi pur.
suits, including number of thu

under which the United States spe-
cializes in bombers and Great Brit
ain in fighters. Since the designs
OF bombers are comparatively stable,
they are adaptable to American
mass output methods. Pursuit
models, which change necessarily,
are better suited to the Britain
technique Of production in
patches"
Sub-stratosphere combat first
emerged in the Battle of Britain,
with German craft soaring higher
and higher to escape Spitfires and
anti-aircraft shells. Two years later,
the United States has in service
comparatively small number of
high altitude fighters, these being
Of the two-engine type known as
the Lockheed P-38 Lightning inter-
ceptor. Gen. Arnold has related
that at least one Lightning has en-
gagged in battle, and shot down in
succession two Japanese four-en-
gine flying boats of the K-97 type.
During the present year, the Brit
ish have placed in the battle line
two high altitude pursuits-a new
version of the Supermarine Spit
fire and the Bristol Beaufighter,
which, with twin Pegasus motors
and crew of three, is probably the
most powerful craft among fighters.
The Germans have two in service,
| the Messerschmitt l09-F and Focke-
Wulf 100. Even the japanese have
sent one into action. This is the
Mitsubishi-01, with a speed approx
mating 400 miles an hour and a
service ceiling above 10000 feet. 1t
is a successor to the Mitsubishi-00
known to Americans as the Zero.
The specific American answer to
the Messerschmitt 109-F, the F'ocke-
Wulf 100 and the Mitsubishi-01 is the
Republic PAT Thunderbolt. This
ponderous, swift and formidable
pursuit has not yet engaged in COM
bat, though 1t is reported that Thun-
derbolts are undergoing tests in Eng
land. They are still in minor pro-
duction. Since they were developed
by one of the smaller aviation COM
panies, the construction of special
plants was found necessary for out
put of battle volume. In conse-
quence, there is doubt whether the
Thunderbolt will attain adequate
production before 1943.
Behind or High-AItitude Combat.
Why are American pilots in Eng
land using the new Spitfire in pref
erence to the Airacobra and P-40-F?
Partly because of the understanding
between this country and Britain
dividing ultimate responsibility fol
bombers and fighters. But 1t is diff
ficult to escape suspicion that the
Army slumbered during the first
year of high-altitude combat, ano
that its belated expedients for catch
ing up are in the nature of frantic
makeshifts.
, The Airacobra was designed as 6
low altitude strating plane, for USE
against enemy troops and tanks anc
for support of ground forces. Tht

Japanese air bases in China.
The truth remains, however, that
the Army Air Forces have no planes
equipped for "saturation" lombard
ment, or the total, systematic pull
verization Of large-scale objectives
such as would be required for def
mite air attacks on Nazi war factories
and transportation. 1t Is worthy of
note that American bombers rarely
employ missiles exceeding 500 pounds
in weight, while British "block bust
ers" range as high as 1000 pounds.
Ideal Yet to Appear.
1t has been argued that American
and English heavy bombers are not
rivals but compliments. The for
mer, which grew out Of four -engine
passenger ships developed for trans
continental and South American
travel, were designed for the vast
spaces OF the Pacific. Since Pearl
Harbor, they have turned into rou-
tine the circumnavigation of the
globe in 3,000-mile laps. British
craft were planned with the specific
mission Of continental lombard
ment. 1t Is fortunate, some apollo
gists contend, that the United Ma
tions have both sorts of plane-one
for short-distance, "saturation" at
tackS by night in Western Europe,
and the other for long pre-
cision bombardment by day in East
ern Germany, Poland and CZecho-
slovakia. These differences are de-
clared to assure round the clock
bombardment.
Obviously, the ideal would be a
ship uniting the speed, toughness
and high altitude capacity of the
Fortress and Liberator with the
redoubled Furnishing power Of the
Stirling and Lancaster. Armchair
designers protest that such a COM
bination is impracticable. There is
ample cause to believe they have
reckoned without Yankee inventive
genius, and that sooner or later ar
American four engine craft will take
the air with radical improvements
over present types, particularly ir
respect to bomb-load capacity. II
so, that will be a conclusive COM
mentary on the heavy bomber dis
pute.
Before entering on the darker
subject of fighter planes, it is neces.
sary to remark that these are di.
vided into low, medium and high
altitude pursuits on the basis o1
whether their ceiling of maximum
performance is around $4,000, % ,00(
or 10000 feet. That their respective
performances are best up to these
heights does not mean they canno
labor many thousands of feet higher
but that at a given point the motors
start to grow ''winded," like noun
