Expert Says laps
MayPuII in Guard

CHICAGO, April Is. CUP) Maj
Alexander P. De SeverSky, noted
airplane designer, said today that
the United Nations bombing OF
Japan was both a shot in the arm
to us and valuable because it may
cause the Japs to pull in theil
guard
The bombing of the homeland
may force the Japanese militarists
to draw planes back from their far
flung outposts, thus cutting down
their offensive striking power.
- Germany has, until recently,
done just this to Great Britain,
forcing her to keep her best equip
ment at home and thus reducing her
ability to conduct an air offensive. >
De Seversky said he would not try
to guess whether the bombing of
Japan was executed from aircraft
carriers or from land bases in China
or the Philippines.
