Raid Warning System
Insures India S Safety,
Returning Officer Says
Col. O'DonneIl Reveals
Remote Lookouts Block
Jup Surprise Attacks

Back in this country for the first
time in more than three years Of
overseas flight duty, Col. Emmett
ODonnell. assistant chief OF stan
for the 10th Air Force, told Army
officials today that a unique aircraft
warning system is making India vir-
tually surprise proof against jap
anese aerial attack.
Warning units Of the Army Air
Forces, living on friendly terms with
native head-hunters on mountain
peaks, maintain such vigilance that
the Japs have not been able to ad-
vance into India or exploit their
gains in Burma. Invariably, when
Jap bombers approach outposts, he
said. American fighter planes are
waiting for them in the air to shoot
them down.
The teams perched on the noun
tain tops stand 24-hour vigil and
are able to signal or radio the ap-
proach Of enemy plans so far in ad-
vance that the 10th Air Force fight
ers have ample time to get into the
air. These hardy outfits are COM
posed of radio operators. observers
and radio repairmen. Each unit has
its own medical attendant and cook.
Supplied by Air.
These men are in real head
hunter country" Col. O'Donnell
said. But the Americans have gone
in there and succeeded in getting on
friendly terms with them. Most of
the warning units are in such re-
mote places that it takes two to
three weeks to reach them by trail
Supplies are dropped regularly from
the air"
Combined with this warning sys-
tenn, Col. O'Donnell said, the re-
lentless pounding of the 10th Air
Forces medium and heavy bombers
not only have kept the Japs away
but have brought the war to them.
Our bombers have practically put
Rangoon's harbor out of operation,
he said, and have blown up lines of
communication. bridges and supply
dumps as we'll as other Japanese
installations in Burma. he said, and
as fast as the Nipponese repair
their bridges or railways the 10th
pays them another visit.
Col ODonnen said the 10th and
14th Air Forces have done and are
doing a remarkable job in India
and China. especially considering
the difficulties of operating in such
remote localities"
Col ODonnell, whose home is in
Brooklyn. left this country in 1910
for an assignment in Hawaii In
September. l941, he commanded a
flight of heavy bombers from Hawaii
to the Philippines, and in the islands
commanded for a time the famed
18th Bombardment Group. He won
the Distinguished Flying Cross for
the flight to Manila, and the Oak
Leaf Cluster was added for his
leadership of squadron of IT bomb
ers which attacked Japanese ship
ping of Vigan on December 9, 194l.
He also holds the Air Medal
Later Col. ODonneil fought in
Mindanao, Java and India. He was
assistant chief of staff for the 10th
Air Force in India from the time II
was organized until his recent re-
turn to the United States.

IVA Sets New Mark
With Douglas Dam
Work Finished Ahead
Of 13-Month Schedule
By the Associated Press


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 90
The Tennessee Valley Authority said
it had established a worlds record
for major hydro-electric dam con-
struction with the closing today of
Douglas Dam gates on the French
Broad River in advance Of the
scheduled 13-months' construction
period. r..
Douglas Dam, which caused bit
ter controversy in Congress with
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Tennessee, its leading opponent, will
add an average OF 100000 kilowatts
to the IVA system. This power
will meet demands for production
Of aluminium, phosphorus, airplanes
and other war materials. Senator
Mcclellan contended the dam would
inundate valuable East Tennessee
farm lands and was unnecessary at
this time for the war effort.
IVA engineers promised closure
of the dam in Is months-or on
March /, 1943, in sufficient time to
catch the heavy normal spring rains.
The new world record for build
ing dam the size of Douglas, IVA
said, topped by three months the
record of l6 months attained at
TWAS Cherokee Dam. By compari-
son it required two and one-half
years to complete Norris Dam to
closure, which at that time was
considered a good record.
Formal recognition of Douglas
Dams completion will come March
/, when the 5000 Douglas workers
will assemble to hear addresses by
William L. Bait, vice chairman of
the WPB, and IVA Chairman David
E, Lilienthal.

major change in policy, to permit
students to play on college football
or other teams. And since all phys
ically fit men in college will be in
uniform. the service policies will
control athletics.
A total of 334 colleges and uni
versities have been selected by joint
Army-Navy action for service
classes. The exact number of naval
classes to be organized, a spokes-
man said, will depend on the num-
Der of officer candidates. Schools
for these classes will be chosen
from the 1874 as need arises and that
overall total may be increased if
it is not sufficient.
Although the 1884 colleges have
been listed as eligible" the War
Department took occasion last night
to clear possible misunderstanding
by announcing that it has not yet
signed a contract with a single
institution.
Local Institutions Listed.
Among local institutions listed by
the War Manpower Commission as
eligible under the program are
George Washington, Georgetown.
Catholic, Howard and Maryland
Universities.
THE fact that any particular COL
lege is on lists of institutions pre-
viously announced as eligible for
consideration, does not warrant the
conclusion that the college will
necessarily participate in the pro-
gram" the War Department said,
adding that it has made no COM
mitment beyond assurances that
those listed schools will be surveyed,
with a view to their possible in
clusion in the program.
Rated as apprentice seamen, the
naval students will be in uniform
and draw the pay of seamen; they
will be subject to naval discipline.
Those who do not make the grade
academically will be assigned to
other duty, probably at sea.
