NATIONAL GUARD
Debate over universal conscrip'
ton is likely to bring to show:
down the question of national
guard in the future.
Many regular Army officers are
opposed to the guard. But on Capt.
toll Hill there is strong sentiment
for its continuance. Its supporters
point to Washington and Lincoln for
support for militia composed OF
civilians. as a safeguard against
development of highly profession
al military faction in this country.
RELIEF FOR MOTHERS
About April, mothers of small

WPB has just released 100000
900 yards of material to go into

ing to take some four to five
months to run the cloth through

counters. Experts say that much
yardage ought to result in some
10000 900 garments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. q R Il
you're keeping an eye on the spec
tacular 1929 raids, watch for
continued run over two places:
Tokyo on Honshu island. and Omu
ra on Ky ushu, just to the south.
japanese airplane production is
concentrated there. The plants are
turning out some 1900 planes q
month, the majority of them fight
ers.
And if the air force pattern over
Japan follows the pattern over Ger
many they'll want to knock the
fighters out of the skies first to
give our planes a freer hand in
later bombing raids.
The second objective will proba-
bly, be japanese shipyards because
much of their mater;el, even from
factory to factory, moves by boat.
That makes it unnecessary for our
bird-men to make those hundreds
of dive-bombing sorties they did in
Europe to blast out highways, rail
roads and bridges.
The air force probably needs
some base that's only 500 miles
nearer to Tokyo to give the city
a thorough nightmare la Berlin.
Right now it's only within range
of the B-29's. But a base 500 miles
closer would put the Bits and B.
