MERE HANDFUL KNOW
REAL STRATEGY

There are only two criticisms OF
this plan to be heard here. Most
frequent is that. even assuming
that Britain and America have the
necessary number Of trained men
and material. they do not have the
shipping facilities to undertake
such vast action yet.
But there is another. ana more
basic. criticism of Col Herman
scheme. 1t is pointed out that
there are a vast number of factors
that must be taken into considera-
ton before. any successful attack.

EARTH SHAKES

The blast of bombs shakes the
earth and hammers against our ear
drums. Even underground shelters
are swept by blasts of wind from the
bombs.
During a heavy raid this morninS
I was perched atop a ladder while
cool Maltese gentleman held the
ladder below and two women, ac-
cidentally locked in their hotel
room, climbed down.
Later a second strong enemy for
nation came over, doing much dam
age. But hundreds of women and
children sat quietly in one shelter
that I visited, even when the dust
from a four-centuries old building
swept over them.

Sub ChoSers to
Meet Axis Threat

Hepburn believes that the sub
marine problem will be solved by
the coastal patrol craft. He has not
only professional admiration for
-chaSers but a truly affectionate
regard for them. 1t was he who di-
rected the equipment of these World
War I craft with submarine detec-
ton devices and trained men in
the use of them before taking
charge of the fleet of more than 80
in Irish waters
Imperial Valley press., 1942-04-09

WASHINGTON. April (UP) -
Rear Admiral Arthur Hepburn. who
commanded a large fleet of SUBJ
marine chaSerS in the last war, be-
lieves that these sturdy little craft
will lick the stuffingS" out of sub
marines now operating off the At
lantic coast.
The Navy has 600 of these patrol
boats on order and they are coming
off the ways at an ever increasing
rate.
In my opinion" Hepburn said to-
day, these craft are most valuable
for anti-Submarine work particu-
larly with modern detection devices
and when used in cooperation with
aircraft"
The admiral, now Navy public re-
lations chief, said that in many re-
Spects the modern Sub-chaSer is bet
ter suited to hunt down submarines
than are deStroyerS. Furthermore
he added, destroyers have too great
combat value to be assigned to
sub-chasing.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
There were several new develop
ments in the Nays battle against
submarines. These included:
/. Disclosure b. President Roose-
velt that plans are being studied
for construction of wooden barges
tc haul war materials and other es-
sential supplies on the inland water
ways along the eastern seaboard, out
of reach of submarines.
2. Announcement by Secretary of
the Navy Frank Knox that the
Navy is considering operating the
merchant marine. Naval experts
doubted that this would be done
because merchant shippers are now
obeying Navy orders more closely
and increased protection is being
provided
8. A report by Knox of a drastic
drop in submarine attacks on coast
al shipping last week, due largely
to more effective patrol.

BY TOM WOLF


NEA Service staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. April e-Defense
will not win the war. Neither will
attack until the offensive troops
are sufficiently trained and equip
ped 10 give them a fighting chance
That seems to be the general
reaction of informed Washington
observers to 1t. Col. w. F. Kernan's
provocative best-seller: Defense
viii Not Win the War" There
seems to be little quarrel here in
the capital with Col. Kernans
thesis: I'VE must learn and COM
init to memory the truth that no
single weapon or group of weapons.
no single ool-proof principle of
tactics or strategy, no fleet is
enough to defeat Hitler as long
as we continue to think defensive
ly"
There is a sharp divergence of
opinion, however, as to the degree
of service Col Herman has per-
formed by publishing his book at
this time. Some informed per-
sons think that vital service has
been done in focusing American
public opinion on the necessity Of
offensive thinking and action.
AMERICA is
ATTACKHUNGRY
Others Ieei tnat the very sue
cess of Col. Kernan's books is an
indication that the American public
is already attack hungry. These
men feel that there is a real dang
er that the book may make Ameri-
cans over impatient for offensive
action = resulting in a disastrous
demand that the American wal
machine go off half-cocked.
There are many minor criticisms
of Col Kernan's book to be heard
in informed circles. Many here
disagree with the authors conten
ton that the U. S. General Staff.
along with the staffs of France
and Britain. has been thinking de-
fensively. rather than extensively.

carried on. They insist, however,
that whoever takes over the
estate must run it only for the

Too tight Stacks manage TO

Igor Sikorsky's Book
Forms Basis Of Sermon
Noted Scientists Interpretation OF Lords Prayer
Brought to Pulpit By DR.. John G. Walker

After his manner therefore pray
We: Our Father which art In

HallOwed be thy name. Matthew
6;9.
The Scripture Lesson may be
found in Matthew ellis.
Following are excerpts from the
sermon delivered at the Second
Congregational Church yesterday
by the Rev. DR.. John G. Walker:-
One day during the Lenten sea-
son as I was passing q display Of
books intended for Lenten devotions,
I was surprised and delighted to
find a book entitled, "The Message
of the Lords Prayer" by none other
than Igor Sikorsky. Two or three
years ago in that same window ]
had seen a book by SikorSky, an
autobiography and q story Of Mr.
Sikorsky'S experiments and achieve
ments in aviation. should not have
been surprised to have seen another
book on aviation by Igor I SiRorsky
but must confess that I was not
prepared to find a book on the
Lords Prayer.
You may be sure I was intrigued
A book on the Great Prayer by a
man Of SikorSky's type and temper
was bound to be a book worth read
ing. Mr.. Sikorsky is a scientist, q
business man and an industrialist
He is a scientist Of flight, q man
who has designed the great multi
motored planes that pioneered the
skyways of the north Atlantic and
the Western and Southwestern pac-
ific. Indeed he was the man who
built and flew the first multi
motored plane as far back as 1918
and the first of the famous Pan
American Clippers in 1880 and 81,
He is q man whose vision Of flight
reaches far into the future and who
dreams dreams of planes of stag
gering size, weight and speed, The
enslgnia of his planes, 1.-THE Wing
eds" is one of the great and sig.
nificant landmarks on the horizon
Of flight. If Igor I. Sikorsky has
something to say with regard TO the
Lords Prayer I was certain to be
interested. You will understand, !
trust. that I am not prepared to
admit that a man can say the last
word on religion because he happens
to be a distinguished scienitst--any
more than the average business man
is prepared to admit that politi-
clan Is qualified to set up as a
specialist In industry, No, man who
has achieved distinction in a given
field of human thought or endeaVor
is not necessarily a prophet In am
other realm. The last word In relig-
ious faith viii always be spoken BY
the saint. Nevertheless, we happen
to know that Mr.. Sikorsky Is devout
and reverent, a faithful member OF
the Russian Orthodox Church, and
a man whose insightS are worthy
of every consideration.

DISCARDED Wire
CAUSED INJURY
Republican American Is
Named Defendant in $780,
600 Action

The Waterbury American-Repub-
lican, Inc. has been named defend
ant in a $4,000 civil action briught
by Margaret Scorpion, a minor, for
injuries caused by a wire used for
binding newspapers and discarded
by carriers in front of the plaintiff
home at ST. Highland avenue. Ac-
cording to the complain which will
be filed in superior court the plain
tiff, who brings suit through her
father, Anthony Scorpion, was
playing on a cement walk in front
of her home, on February 20 Of last
year when she picked up one of the
discarded wires used by the defend
ant newspaper concern. The wire,
which was curved, she alleges,
twisted and struck her in the right
eye causing permanent injury. The
sidewalk where the wire was dis
carded is used as delivery station
by the newspapers, according to
the complaint.
Negligence is charged on the part
of the defendants for permitting
the newspaper carriers to leave the
wire on the cement walk. 1t Is also
alleged that the concern was negli-
gent in binding the newspapers
wit wire when heavy cord could &C
complish the same results. Atty.
Catherine p. Hanlon and Edward
Mascolo will represent the plaintiff.
The plaintiff claims that her vis-
ion was impaired by the accident
which necessitated removal OF the
crystalline lens Of her right eye.
