Secret Weapons
Cincinnati Enquirer


With Germany military fortunes now decidedly on
the downgrade. Adolf Hters long direly threatened
secret weapon" still has yet to make its appearance
Several weapons of fairly sensational have
figured in the recent fighting, but the Nazs cannot
take credit for their introduction.
The weapons to which we refer are of the rocket
principle or have association with it. For in
stance, there is the bazooka used with such telling
effect by American troops against the tanks of Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel. The bazooka is simple
electric firing tube for high velocity rocket grenade
One armed with it may become match for
heavy tank because at short it has virtually
the effectiveness of a cannon.
OF late the Nazis have appeared with form of
rocket their fighters, apparently improvised
in attempt to deal with the closeknit formations
of Flying Forresses with their formidable concentra-
tons of 5O-caber machine guns which heretofore
has prevented the fighters coming close enough
for effective attack However, this is not German
invention, because the Russians first used rocket
cannons ON their Stormovik fighters against Nazi
tanks the eastern front months ago.
The advantage of rocket cannon of course. is
that it is much lighter and therefore much more
easily air borne than the conventional cannon in
which the projectile must obtain all of its impetus
from an explosion within the barrel of the gun.
rocket projectile supplies its blast of gases for
propulsion, to increase its velocity. 1t is not
likely to be accurate in its the conven-
tional cannon fired missile, however.
American inventors have come up with the most
useful adaptation of projectle, in the form of
exploding incendiary bullet Judging by battle
reports, it outmodes most of the present types of
for planes and tanks and renders useless
the bullet-sealing tanks-whch were the answer to
ordinary machne-gun and incendiary bullets. Gen
eral Henry H Arnold of the United States Army Air
Forces describes the bullet the outstanding small
arms development for use against airplanes
Fortunately for our side, techncians and
nm uvth
along while most of the secret weapons the Naz
side have been confined to Der Fuehrers speeches.
Where, might add parenthetcaly, they do a
minimum of harm.

AGE VS. NONSENSE

Towering, 66-year-old Sc n o r
Tom Connally of Texas is touchy
about his age, doesn't list it in his
Congressional Directory biography
and doesn't- like pointed references
to it by the Senate press gallery.
The other day the popular Texan
braced reporter John Cutter, who
had written story depicting the
battle over the Texans postwar
foreign policy resolution as youth
versus age debate, which, in truth,
it is
Newshound Cutter reported that
the drive to put some teeth into
the resolution was led by younger
members of the Senate-Pepper of
Florida, 43, Ball of Minnesota, 80,
Bridges of New Hampshire, As, and
others = while older Senators, in
Guiding Connally, were demanding
that the compromising resolution
be enacted without change
Connally was furious about being
classed with the rocking chair fra
ternity
you've interviewed me lot" he
told Cutter angrily. Now l want
to interview you. Did you write
that story about youth versus age?"
Eyes, sir, did" was the reply.
We'll, you didn't state the issue
correctly" protested the Texan,
grasping the reporters coat lapels.
The real issue in this dispute is
one of good judgment against a lot
of nonsense .

WHEAT UNCERTAINTIES

Though no announcement has
been made, inside word in the Agri-
culture Department is that wheat
farmers will get loan price of go
percent of parity, which is a five
percent increase over this year.
Officials recognize that something
attractive must be done to increase
wheat paintings. AS it looks now,
paintings are going to fall below
the high goals set by the govern
ment-an acreage increase of Ia
million over this year.
This year farmers had the IS
percent parity loan, which act
ed to support the price, plus both
parity payments and conservation
payments. But Congress has knock
ed out parity payments for next
year, leaving margin of uncertain
ty as to whether wheat will bring as
much as flax or grain sorghums, or
some other crop.
Planting is now we'll along in the
winter wheat belt, but it is. reported
to be a slack. planting. Never has
there been SO much demand by far
mers to know what the price is going
TO be. And the official answer is
still withheld.
And when the announcement is
made, it will be loan figure of 90
percent of parity, whereas farmers
would like TO have 100 percent, to
make up for the loss of parity pay
ments.
All this confusion comes at a
time when there is greater de-
mand for wheat than this country
has ever known In addition to
the tremendous demand for. wheat
for flour, $50 million bushels have
been used for animal feed in the
past IL months, and still more will
be needed for the same purpose in
the next year. And beyond that,

MAD DOGS OF WASHINGTON

In recent years, the Capital has
gained the reputation of being a
madhouse. In much more literal
sense, it is a madhouse today, for
the dogs as well as the humans are
going mad.
There are more cases of rabies in
Washington today than for years.
The whole town is a-tremble. Old
ladies are donning long underwear,
before winter comes, as a protection
against dog bites. The mildest lap
dog excites as much fear as a wolf.
But lot of people are mad who
haven't been bitten. They are mad
at the health department for let
ting dogs run loose if muzzled.
Doctors. and vets are up in arms
against the ruling. In the first
place, there aren't enough muzzles
to go around; also, some types of
muzzles do not prevent biting;
while other types shake loose and
hang on the dog like a necklace.
Only effective way to stop the
epidemic is to confine all dogs to
the premises, or take them out on
leash.
Meantime, the puzzled, muzzled
dogs look on, while vets and health

WEATHER GOT ROUGH

Finally the weather got too
tough and we agreed the thing to
do was TO turn around and look
for an airport. Tommy pointed out
a place on the map where he said
he thought there was one and we
started over for it.
The rain clouds were lower now
so we had TO fly still lower-"on
the ground" in flying language

We started coming into town
when there up in the air was a
