Briton Designs New

Typhoon. Credited With

LONDON. Oct. 2.-The de-
signer of the famous Hurricane
fighting plane, one of Britain's
leading air weapons. has ia
thered another fighter, the Ty-
phoon, which was pictured
today as superior even to the

toned publicly for the first time last
April, but the extent OF its produc-
ton and use by the Raj is still un-
known. In the last few weeks, how
ever, there has been increasing talk
about 1t.
Designer Sydney Camm is under
stood to have conceived the Typhoon
in 1887 soon after completing the
first Hurricane and to have used re-
ports on the Hurricanes perform
ance in the battle of Britain as a
guide in completing the Typhoon
improvements.
Mr.. Camm is perhaps the top
British designer since the death of
R. j. Mitchell, father of the Spitfire.
1t is said that it required 5000 draw
ings to perfect the Typhoon. Con-
struction started even before the
2, 2,400-horsepower Sabre engines,
with which it is powered, had their
dnal test.
The Typhoon is armed with ma
chine-guns and cannon and is said
to have an amazing climbing ability.

craft Production Minister Llewellin

There are two new German
planes but we know a great deal

u. ). Troop Training
Too Soft, Macarthur
Aide in Bataan SAYS
Col. Hill Asserts Our
Men Are Not fought
To Hate Foe Enough
BY the Associated Press.


Gen. Douglas MacArthur's inspec-
tor general in the Philippines ad-
vised today. as a lesson OF Bataan,
that American soldiers be given
tougher battle training. and that
they develop an actual urge to kill
japanese and Nazi troops. IL
Col. Milton A. Hill, who escaped
to Australia before the final COL
lapse, reported in the Infantry Jour-
nal that both American and Philip
pine troops suffered Unnecessarily
heavy losses at the outset because Of
insuf1iciently hard training.
"Our pre-war training in march
ing and endurance, I think, lacked
reality most of ALL" Col. Hill said.
The way to train troops for the
rigors they are bound to meet sooner
or later in war is to give them some
actual practice, not only in making
80 or 40 miles on foot, but doing it
hungry"
As of probably greater Importance,
he asserted that "the spirit that
makes soldier want to kill the en-
emies of his country has to be in
stilled in him from the very be-
ginning"
Few Have Desire.
Most American soldiers don't
have much honest hate for the Ger
man and Jap until some of their
comrades have been killed by the
enemy or until they themselves have
been made to suffer at the enemys
hands. This was true right on
Bataan. =" But the Jap hates
the American with downright hate
that carries him through In battle
to success or death"
Col. Hill expressed belief that I'VE
as a Nation have lost out on pride
in our fighting abilities" He oues-
toned whether the Army makes
marches hard enough to get out of
mems minds the idea that steak
every day and ice cream on Sundays
are important matters"
UNLESS the morale we build Ia
based on pride in overcoming hard
ships, such as a day or two of hard
marching with no food, 1t is a mo-
rale that won't hold up in battle, y
he asserted.
Bataan Mistakes Cited. -.
While praising most features OF
the five-month defense of the Phil
ippines, the inspector general re-
ported number of military errors.
Planes were destroyed on the ground
because OF the folly" of failing to
disperse them. he said. North of
Manila before the withdrawal to
Bataan several tanks were lost be-
cause a bridge was destroyed before
they could cross stream.
I'VE erred on the side of having
too many supplies In the advanced
sectors" he said. with the result
that much was lost to the enemy
which might have prolonged the de-
fense of Bataan. ..--.
