AMERICAS
AIR POWER
By Maj. Alexander de Seueysky

the war and embodied it in a plane
called the Defiant which, after a.
brilliant showing at Dunkirk, was
discarded, The Defiant was a
singe-engine two-seater craft, with
a rotating gun turret behind the
pilot. Its tail was protected against
attack from above, but unluckily it
was utterly unprotected from below.
The Germans quickly found this
soft spot, the vulnerable underbelly.
Furthermore, at that time, gunfire
from turrets was not very accurate
since we had no precision gunsights.
AS happens so often in history, a
good idea was thus discredited be-
cause of errors in its first embodi-
ment. The Defiant went into OBJ
livion, yet it represented a basically
correct approach to the problem
and one that we are now bound to
revive. With radar and scientific
fire control of the turret guns avail
able and more general recognition
of the strategic function of the
fighter as companion to the bomb
er, it is obvious that all belligerents,
ourselves included, will now dust off
blueprints of convoy fighters care
lessly tossed aside at the start of the
war.
The fighter supporting big
bomber can be looked upon as a
kind of detached turret" that can
not only rotate in all directions but
can be shifted above, below. in front
of or aft of the bombing plane. It
is thus the most flexible kind of pro-
lection and leaves the bomber freer
Tor its main task, the blasting of
enemy targets on the ground.
1t seems clear to me that we shall
arrive ultimately at a convoy fighter
more properly, a combat plane
that will be fairly similar to the
bomber, except that it's main pay
load, so to speak, will be invested in
heavier armor and greater gun
power. The bomber, by contrast,
will carry its payload primarily in
bombs, even at the expense of some
armor and armament While the
combat plane takes on and DESTROYS
the enemys air power in being, in
the skies, the bomber plane con-
centrates on enemy air power at its
source, on the ground, This team,
when successful. would tend to de-
nude the enemy nation of its air
power, leaving it increasingly ex-
posed to systematic destruction from
overhead.

Method Of BLEACHING
Newspapers Shown
To House Committee
By the Associated Press.

oS tAc nSooSlAtcO FIesS.
James H. r. Cromwell and an as.
sociate set up test tubes and caul.
drons at a House committee hearing
yesterday to cook the ink out of ole
newspapers-and asked for Fedora
money to finance the project on 6
big scale.
The demonstration was their plar
to solve a growing paper shortage
under investigation by the Borer
Committee.
But a War Production Board Off.
cial was clearly unimpressed by the
reprocessed paper produced by Mr.
Cromwell, former Minister to Can
ada, and his chemist-partner, Fran
els H. Snyder.
This is an interesting thing here,
observed Arthur Wakeman, head OF
WPB's pulp and paper division as
he peered over the bubbling pots.
You might be interested in try
ing this in your own home" he
chided. You can put some old
newspapers in your wife's washing
machine, put in little soap and see
what happens. It's very interest
ing"
200 Processes Patented.
But, he told committeeman, there
are more than 200 patents on paper
de-inking and bleaching processes
in existence now. and the present
supply of waste paper isn't sufficient
to keep all the reprocessing facili-
ties busy.
Are We to spend millions of dol
lars of taxpayers money because
some people are unwilling to take a
few percentage points reduction In
the amount of newsprint?" he asked
Mr. Wakeman's GOODNESS to the
Cromwell-Snyder system got him
into several heated exchanges with
members of Congress. When he
said no de-inking mills are now
turning out commercial newsprint
from scrap paper, Representative
Brown, Republican, of Ohio de-
manded:
We'll, don't you think it's about
time we started something like
this?"
Sees Shortage Preferred.
Mr. Brown declared paper mills
which own pulp forests (raw ma
terials for newsprint paper prob
ably would rather see the present
temporary shortage of pulp than to
see reprocessing methods develop
for paper-making.
Isn't it fact he asked Mr..
Wakeman, that some manufac-
turers would not be overly enthusi-
astic about developing this type of
process?"-he nodded to the Crom-
weli-Synder laboratory table where
Mr.. Snyder was busy boiling asphalt
out of old wrapping paper
wouldn't something like this take
away half their pulp market, and
maybe all of it?"
That probably is in the mind of
some of them" Mr.. Wakeman re-
piled. But the fact is: We have
adequate facilities now to take care
of all the waste paper that's coming
In, and a great deal more"
Samples Passed Out.
Mr.. Cromwell read details of the
paper bleaching process in which he
is interested, while Mr.. Snyder tore
up bits Of old newspapers and wrap
pers, cooked them until he said moth
Ing was left but the original wood
pulp, then passed the soggy little
disks around among the commit
teemen and reporters.
Mr.. Cromwell said his process
would make it possible to recover
100000 tons of waste paper year
and reconvert it to usable stock. He
said the systems cost would prohibit
making newsprint-the material in
which the committee is primarily
interested-but said it would in
crease the available supply of raw
pulp for newsprint making,

Philadelphia Imposes
Curfew on Young Girls

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 16.-An II
pm. unofficial curfew" in down.
town Philadelphia for girls Is years
old or younger was ordered last
night by acting Mayor Bernard
Samuel.
The order followed a Navy report
attributing an increase in venereal
disease to glamour girls in their
early teens who chase uniforms be-
cause of misguided patriotism"
The Philadelphia Navy Yard said
venereal disease had increased 200
per cent in two months among Navy
men visiting here for recreation.
Mayor Samuel did not define the
term unofficial curfeW," but de-
tailed 60 policemen to patrol the
district and take girls of what he
called questionable age to police
headquarters for questioning"
They will be held until their
parents arrive or if found to have
police records, will be detained for
Morals Court and physical exami-
nations, Samuel said.
