that humiliation of the enemy's
air power-in the air and In its
breeding places" on the ground
is the first and most vital task IN
sky warfare. 1t required years OF
bitter experience for surface STRAIT
egists to realize this. Yet the prin-
ciple is no different than in other
types of war-making.
The first job Of armies is to de-
stroy opposing armies; the first Job
of navies to eliminate opposing ma
vies. Only then can they lay hands
on the sources of the enemy's
power. The primary purpose Of air
power, similarly, is to knock out the
enemy's aerial strength. But there
is one difference. Because air
power operates in three dimensions,
it can strike at the opposing air
power and at the sources of the
enemy's strength - his industrial
setup, communications, etc.-simul-
taneously.
Job Is More Difficult.
The problem of conquering Ger
many from the sky is today no
longer the relatively simple one that
certain aviation writer's figured two
years ago or even year ago. Our
failure to concentrate adequate air
power In 1912 and 1943 over Ger
many has given the Nazis the
chance to shield their key targets
with expanded and improved de-
fensive aviation. Our job has
therefore become vastly more difn-
cult. 1t is no longer largely 81
trucking" problem-to bring the
necessary amount Of explosives to
key objectives. The problem now
Is nothing less than the destruc-
tion Of German air power, in order
to assume command of the skies
and to use this freedom of naviga-
ton over enemy territory for sys-
tematic demolition of the sources
Of German military power.
In promising easy victory through
the skies with the aviation then
available, optimists were justified 50
far as their slide-rule calculations
were concerned. But they failed
utterly to take the human element
into consideration. Their arith-
metic, that is to say, was correct:
II all aviation on hand were di-
verted from all other tasks and
concentrated on knocking out Ger
many, 1t might have been accom-.
plfshed. But those OF us more
familiar with military thinking
knew as a certainty that no such
large-scale diversions could be ex-
pected. That would have required
q virtual revolution in strateeic
thinking in high places.
Mahan Is Quoted.
Admiral Mahan in his day pointed
out that the interval between
changes in weapons and changes in
tactics is always ''unduly long" be-
cause the inertia of conservative
class" must be overcome. History
shows" he wrote. that it is vain to
hope that military men generally
Will be at pains to recognize changes
IN weapons and to adapt their
thinking accordingly" What Ma
han said of the sea-power age holds
true with particular emphasis for
the present air-power age. It is the
human element that should never
be left out of the reckoning.
The air offensive against Ger
many falls into three general
phases. In 1912 we could have de-
feated Germany by night bombing
provided we could have accumulated
enough bombardment aviation for
the purpose. That was the hope and
the plea OF Air Marshal Harris at
the time.
This year, in 1943, we could have
defeated Germany by round-th the
clock bombing, despite the limited

Court Weighs Pleas
On Welfare Hours

Municipal Court Judge Thomas D.
quinn today had under advisement
the question whether clerical en-
ployes Of the District Welfare and
Recreation Association are limited
to the eight-hour day set by law for
all cafeteria, hotel and mercantile
workers.
The association has been charged
with working some clerical workers
as long as 1874 hours, and failing
to keep required records.
John Cross, defense counsel, de-
MED the law applies to the associa-
tlon, which operates all Govern
ment-owned cafeterias in the Dis
trict on a nonprofit basis. Mr.. Cross
said the clerical workers were in
separate building and therefore not
part Of the restaurant.
Robert Wise, assistant corporation
counsel, disputed Mr.. Cross conten-
ton and cited figures showing that,
OF 3,748 employees, 1887 are en-
ployed in the cafeterias and another
10 per cent in the newsstand and
mercantile division. The remaining
ITS are employed as clerks and in
miscellaneous capacities, he said.
Mr.. Wise argued that hotels also
employ clerks, but do not try to
avoid compliance with the maxi
mum-hours law.

fire power and other military short
comings of our Flying Fortresses-
again provided We had brought to
bear enough Of these bonbers. That
was the hope and the plea OF Gen.
Eaker. The enemy was not yet pre-
pared for such an onalaugllt and the
surprise element could have pushed
to the point Of decision. That our
bombers over Europe did as well as
they did, considering performance
limitations, must be credited in the
frst place to the skill and resource

the planning and directing end and
In actual operation.
In both these phases the simple
trucking" procedure, saturating the
targets with destruction, would have
been sufncient. In the third phase,
which we are entering now, 1t is
no longer question of "raids." It
Is . question Of battle" against an
enemy who by new construction and
withdrawal Of defensive planes from
other fronts is now able to put up a
vigorous fight In the air.
Vacillation IS our strategy, failure
to give maximum support to attack
on Germany, diversion Of air power
for important but in the final analy-
sis secondary purposes, have COM
bined to change the whole character
OF the battle of Germany, and de-
prived Air Marshal Harris and Gen.
Eaker Of the victory they could have

achieved. We must now build for
bold daylight combat to destroy
German defensive air strength.
In the writer's view we haven't
any alternatives. Certainly invasion
Is no alternative, since invasion can
succeed only If we overcome Ger
many's air power. It's step that
cannot be skipped under modern
conditions. Whether we try to
demolish Germany from the skies or
on the surface, We must first assume

command Of the air. With freedom
Of navigation IT our disposal, we
shall be back In the tactical rela-
tionship OF 1919, able to bomb
without aerial opposition. But In
that case, obviously, operations on
the surface can wait until the for
tress Of Europe Is suniciently weak

Green Bay Packers Pick Comp, Wildung;
 Lions Get Q Sandwich

Chicago, April 9.-(UP) - The presence of one Corn College" play CT in the list of all-America stars drawn in the first five rounds of the national football leagues an. nual draft served to jolt the grld- iron experts today.
 The unknown who popped up among the big name stars was Irv Comp from little St. Benedict Col. lege at Atchison, Kans., who was the second choice of the Green Bay Packers.
 While other teams in the pro cir- cult were scrambllng for talented backs like Frankie Sinkwich of Georgia's Rose Bowl team, coach Curly Lambeau of Green Bay pulled the surprise of the selection meeting by picking Comp. He agreed to sign with the Packers.
 Backs Wanted
 Lambeau pulled another surprise with the selection of Dick Wildung, Minnesota tackle. He was the only lineman chosen on the first round of the draft. The other nine teams picked backfIeld men.
 Frankie Sinkwich, All.America halgback and winner of the Heish- man award, was the first player chosen. He went to Detroit. The scramble for backs was indicated by the fact that IS of the first 25 see lections were ball carriers. Brooklyn chose Paul Governali of Columbia while Steve Filipowicz of Fordham was New York's first choice.

WOMEN SWIMMERS
 IN CHICAGO MEET

Chicago. April 9.-(UP)-A three- way battle for the team title in the National Women's 4. A. U. swim. ming championship was forecast to- day as top-flight acquatic stars opened three-day meet.
 The teams that figursd in the championship fight were the Riviera club of Indianapolis, Ind; the Multnomah Club of Portland, Ore, and the women's swim association of New York.
 Riviera was regarded as the top choice because It's eight girl entry appeared to possess the necessary balance to pick up points in numer- ous events. Multnomah has only four entrants, but each is regarded as Q certain point-winner. The women'S swim association original ly was rated the favorite, but the withdrawal Of Gloria Callen because of. an injury changed the ranking.
 Four individual champions will defend their crowns. They are Nancy Merki, of Portland, in the 40 yard free style: Sue zimmer-
 man, of Portland, in the 100 yard backstroke: Betty Bemis, Indianap- oils, in the 220 yard free style and Anne Ross of the Dragon Club, New York, In the one and three meter diving events.

PEP 2-1 CHOICE

 May Be Close

Boston, April 9.-(Up)-Willie Pep, recognized by the New York State boxing commission as worlds featherweight champion, goes after his 64th win In 65 starts tonight when he battles Sal Bartolo of Bos. ton in Q l0-round non-tltle bout at Boston Garden.
 Pre-fight odds made Pep e 2-l favorite, but there Is little to choose between the two ring warriors,
 Pep, 20, is four years younger than Bartolo and has e two-inch advantage in reach. Bartolo will probably scale a pound more than Pep.
 A -the-scenes feud lends a "grudge" angle to the bout. Bar tolo contends that both Pep and Jackie Callura of Hamilton, Ont, holder of N. B. A. recognition, are afraid to put their titles at stake. He also claims that Pep's impressive record was registered against Q well selected" list of opponents.
