Draw Reinforcement
Heavy Air Losses

The raid brought forth the
largest air battle of the war and
has demonstrated the tremen-
dous casualty percentage that
will be suffered by airplanes in
full scale invasion operations. In
this one days battle the losses
were numbered by hundreds, not
tens and twenties. Imagine what
it would be had such fighting
lasted, as is easily possible, a
matter of weeks.
And again it returns to the
oft-repeated fact that the time
for establishment of a second
front is a military decision. The
high command only knows when
they have amassed sufficient
men. material, supplies, planes
and boats.

Barges Hard Targets

Although casualties suffered
and inflicted have not been COM
pletely revealed. it would appear
that the s m a Ii fast warships
such as destroyers, torpe d o
boats, landing barges, etc, make
difficult targets for bombing or
artillery fire when properly pro-
tected from the air. However,
they were extremely vulnerable
once they came within range OF
machine guns.

Surprise Difficult

AS was demonstrated ny lIllS

cult when the defense is fronted
by water. Nothing is more de-
sired by Hitler than the subiu-
CATION of the British Isles. The
Nazis have not attempted this
because they know il cannot be
accomplished because of the
English defense system and the
fact that the British are sur
rounded by water.
An invasion force must push
far enough inland to protect a
base. The base of supplies and
reinforcements must be able TO
operate "a hours day with a
minimum of enemy interference.
Z Acquire Airffelds
Air fields must be acquired.
Land-based airplanes are a ne
ceSsity.
A free running sea lane of
supply and replenishment must
be maintained. These conditions
require continuous supremacy OF
the air-an actual canopy of air.
planes.
The raid at Dieppe has dem
onstrated that the invading
force has a tremendous advant-
age. The real landing is at only
one place. But the Axis forces
must protect, and guard against
attack, not less than $500 miles
of coaStline- as an invasion
could take place anywhere from
Norway TO Spain.
DraD Reinforcements
This full scale Commando
landing operation will definitely
pull a large element of the NaZi
air force from Russia to Europe,

weakened Nazi defense and

United Taxi Drivers
Probably Won Vote
For Strike Today
Replacing Of Honkin as
Utilities Chairman
Is Soothing Foetor

Despite increasing tension last
week between the Capitals union
lied taxicab drivers and the Public
Utilities Commission, observers do
not believe members Of the United
Taxicab Drivers, Inc, will vote
themselves into another vacation"
strike when they meet this after
noon.
The meeting, to be held at 2
o'clock this afternoon at 808 street
NV, was called by the unions
Board of Directors Wednesday to
consider three major issues:
l. Possible action to be taken on
the cancellation of the PUC's re-
hearing on the new "Hankin map"
setting up zones and subzones.
2. The current shortage of tires
among taxicabs and steps to be
taken to enable taxis to remain on
the streets.
3. Enforcement of a price ceiling
which repeatedly has been placed
on the rental of taxicabs.
President Opposes Strike.
1t is generally known that Edwin
A. Glenn, president of the union,
opposes any strike action now. He
said yesterday that he wouldn't
recommend any such action at this
time" Most of the rank and file
members also are opposed to a
strike over the present issues, 1t is
believed.
Mr.. Glenn also declared that there
were no prospects of another wa
cation" such as virtually stopped
cab service in Washington June "a.
He pointed out, however, that what
ever happened would be up TO the
membership.
This is their organization" he
said. I'm here only to carry out
their orders"
Two Factors Discourage Strike.
Two principal factors are operat-
ing to discourage strike In the
first place, Gregory Hankin, long
regarded by Mr.. Glenn and his
group as being chiefly responsible
for the unrest in the ranks of taxi
cab drivers, is to be replaced Tues
day as chairman of the PUG by
James H. Flanagan. In a poll of
unionized cab drivers last month,
an overwhelming majority expressed
their desire to have Mr.. Hankin
deposed.
Officials of the Office of Defense
Transportation and the Office of
Price Administration are understood
to be working out an arrangement
which will allow taxicab drivers to
obtain enough tires to keep their
cabs on the streets. Mr.. Glenn was
closeted yesterday for several hours
with an ODT official, and he ex-
pressed hope that the situation
would be worked out satisfactorily.
Earlier last week, the union chief
estimated that go per cent of the
tires on District taxicabs were un-
safe. He pointed out that about
20 per cent of the Capitals trans
portation devolved on taxicabs and
