Use Of automobile horns for air.
raid warnings, under system hook
ing them up to police and fire boxes,
has been suggested to the District
ONCE Of Civilian Defense by E. j.
Mather, president of Southern
Diaries, Inc, he revealed today.
Pointing out the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning sirens In sufficient number
and with volume enough to be
audible throughout the city, Mr..
Mather suggested:
During the past several years new
automobiles generally have had two
horns. (Why I don't know-one
seems too many in most cases) If
this is true, there are thousands of
surplus horns on automobiles In the
District which I am sure would be
donated to the cause by automobile
owners If they were asked"
A wired system, with central con-
trols, already hooks up police and
fire boxes. he explained, and the
horns could be attached to these.
They are spaced closely enough for
the combined horns to be heard by
everyone, In his opinion, but, to sup
plement such plan, motorists could
be asked, on hearing the raid signal,
to pull up to the curb and repeat
1t on their own horns.

These analysts expressed the
opinion that the Russians were using
their units, highly trained in the
ancient form Of transports With-evais
greater success than the Germans
who won the same tactics but with
different tools when the situation
was reversed.
The experts said the Russians
were using ski troops and tough
cavalry for quick, destructive dashes
into the retreating enemy lines, and
for sweeping large and small pincer
maneuvers to entrap the slower
enemy.
In addition, Soviet tank units and
dive bombers are being hurled
against fortified positions to smash
any stronghold established by the
Nazis to cover their Withdrawals.
Huge New Ski Army.
The Russians declared they had a
huge new "ski army" drilling in
Siberia and about ready to strike the
Germans on the western front. This
force comprises infantrymen, artil-
lery troops, engineers and signal
corps men, it was said.
A spokesman on the Kuibyshev
radio estimated yesterday that the
Germans had lost 100000 in cas-
ualties, including 200, 900 dead, since
November 16. This boosted to g.
1000 the Russian estimates of the
German dead, wounded and missing
since the invasion began last June.
