Times Square 10 Remain
Dim Despite Brownout
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-The lights
are going on here again.
But, Mayor F.. H. La Guardia and
Police Commissioner Lewis j. Valen-
tine indicated yesterday, to conserve
fuel the nocturnal brilliance of
Times Square, Broadway and other
areas will remain more or less
dormant.
Explaining regulations governing
the "brownout" which tonight sue
ceeds the dimout, the two city Off
cials said that with the exception of
outdoor display signs and other
minor lighting, the present restric-
tions would be lifted to 80 per cent
of normalcy in all but seaside sec
tions of New York City.
Drowned out will be traffic, street,
parkway, bridge and automobile
lights. Cars, however, must continue
ito use only parking lights in travel
ing along the coast line.
To conserve fuel, business estab-
lishments will be required in most
instances to keep outside lighting as
at present and in some instances to
eliminate it completely in the day
time.

long range as it is to hit a duck
in flight with a single rifle bullet.
The American people have right
to wonder, therefore, why the new
German fighter strength has taken
us unaWares. In connection with
the heavy losses at Schweinfurt, for
instance, they have full confidence in
the decision made by our air chiefs
in England, and accept their judg-
ment that the investment was we'll
worth the destruction of a strategic
ball-Wearing plant. But why we had
not long ago prepared for the Ger
man innovation is still an open
question.
At the outbreak of war our coun-
try discovered that we were back
ward in such matters as self-sealing
tanks, armor and armament This
was blamed on general neglect of
war preparedness, and in time we
caught up with other countries in
these respects. But the fact that
we are now again caught tagging, in
the very midst of war, is more seri-
Gus. Since there is no doubt that
our research and engineering brains
are the equal of any in the world,
the public is inclined to worry
whether there is some basic fault
in the military setup so far as avia-
ton is concerned.

point as readily as the attacker and
can concentrate its fire on it, thus
depriving the fighter plane of tacti-
cal freedom.
Rocket Power Urged.
The writer, participating in some
of the maneuvers where these eX-
periments were made, came to the
conclusion that the bomb directed
against a bomber in flight could not
depend on gravity but musts have
some means of horizontal propul-
sion. Rocket power seemed the
logical answer.
Detailed plans of rocket missiles
and large -calibre guns to be used by
fighter planes were presented to the
military authorities in 1884 But
aviation was at that time complete
ly integrated with the ground forces.
The War Department believed that
all firearms should be interchange
able among various Army compo-
nentS in the interests Of Standard
lzatiOn, maintenance and supply
Special armament for aircraft
therefore seemed impractical" and
the proposals were orgotten-until
the Russians, Germans and even
Italians brought out rocket devices
as a reminder.
Nearly a year ago, on December s,
1912, Gen. Henry H. Arnold, appar-
emily anticipating the fact that the
enemy would find countermeasures,
said: They (the Germans are still
trying to find the answer, and
think they will. In the meantime,
we are improving the Flying Fort
resses and the Liberators, and we'll
be ready whenever they are ready
to try any new procedure"
Bigger Gun Needed.
The development of the rocket
could have been anticipated. Our
conference.-the was also obvious,
namely guns of greater calibre and
range and perhaps, bigger and bet
ter rockets of our own. Equipped
with such weapons, bomber could
hold the fighter beyond the effective
range of its terpedoes. 1t is just as
difficult to torpedo bomber at a

power. that the Single-Seater flghter
would ultimately become ineffective.
It was then that they urged more
attention to the armament OF the
fighter plane.
There is a great similarity between
planes and surface ships in their
combat methods. Both are essen
TALLY mobile platforms for artillery.
Though the alrplane operates IN
three dimensions, its weapons ana
tactics follow the same general line
of development as those of surface
ships.
Naval torpedoes were developed
primarily for use by small ships to
enable them to attack large ones. A
destroyer does not have a chance in
an artillery duel with a battleship
But equipped with torpedoes, 1t en-
ploys its greater maneuverability
and speed to penetrate the defen-
sive curtain of battleShip fire, dis
charges its huge miSsile-the tor
pedo-at close range and escapes.
Analogy Offered.
An analogous development in the
air seemed logical, and we are now
in fact witnessing the evolution OF
the single-seater fighter into KIND

of aerial torpedoes by the Nazis is
clearly step in that direction. The
destroyer" of the skies will avoid
shooting it out with heavy bombers.
1t will seek instead to break through
the defensive fire. discharge deadly
torpedo, and get away
Back in 1884 our airmen, especial
ly in the Navy, understood that the
fighter plane of the future could
not limit itself TO machine guns
Experiments were made in dropping
bombs on the hombers from fighters
overhead precisely what the Ger
mans tried to do against the Fly
ing Fortress in this war, and with
lust as little success.
Due to the great velocities, aiming
bombs at planes in fight is eX-
tremely difficult The aircraft
under attack can get out Of the
way of projectiles too easily. More
over, since the bomb falls under the
force of gravity, there is only one
point above the moving target from
which it can be released. The plane
under attack can calculate this

AIRLlNES URGE
WORLD SKYWAY
Most OF Carriers Join In
Asking For Free In
ternational Routes

WASHINGTON, July IS. - R -
Most of the nations airlines join
ed today in asking that the world
skyWays be opened to all after
the war, with private ownership
and operation fostered and encour-
aged by the government.
The declaration of principle,
signed by 16 companies at the con-
clusion of a five-day conference
made it clear that the American
carriers were willing to exchange
freely the rights they sought in
other countries.
The statement was in the form
of a supplement to reply made
jointly to questions on postwar
air problems posed by the Civil
Aeronautics Board. This statement
served also as a formal notice to
the CAB that the signing COM
panies would file applications for
certificates to operate on world
wide routes.
The government was asked to
preserve for United States air lines
the use of facilities which this
country has been installing all over
the world for military purposes,
to plan for exchange of the right
of innocent passage over foreign
countries, and help the carriers
prepare for the future develop
ments in aircraft manufacture.
Missing from, the list of signers
were United Air Lines, a nation
wide carrier; Pan American Air
ways, largest operator in the in
ternational field, and American
Export Airlines, which had begun
to enter the Atlantic field when
the war began.
United said in a statement that
it had declined to sign because
