sea and land from off the French
coast right up to the gun belt Dur
ing this period fighters shot down
over 1000 flying bombs.
In the battle against the flying
bombs our fighters were faced with
a number of difficulties. The first
was the speed of the bombs. Only
our fastest fighters possess the high
speed needed to overtake the bomb
in level fight. Other types had to
position themselves two or three
hundred feet above and then dive
down upon it to get the additional
speed to overcome it.
From q plane it is possible to see
the bomb miles away coming in over
the sea and get into the right posi-
ton to dive on to it. 1t looks easy,
but when it comes to the point even
the most experienced pilot can mis-
Judge the speed or course OF the
bomb, or the speed OF his own dive,
so that you find you have flattened
out in the wrong place and the
bomb just streaks away from you.

bomber aircraft has usually relied

repair them. AS they were repaired
they were re-bombed.
The Germans finally abandoned
these sites and started constructing
an entirely new series Of firing
points.
England began preparing for de-
Tense against the bombs. Three de-
tense belts were Provided balloon

It was not known whether the
flying-bomb attack would start be-
fore, after or during the invasion
operations, so the plans were neces-
sarily very flexible. The attack did
start few days after the landing IN
France.
During the first month 40 per
cent of the bombs launched were
brought down. The bomb flew at a
very high speed-between $50 and
400 miles per hour. In an attempt
to saturate the defenses the enemy
launched bombs in salvos and con-
concentrated the weight of the at
tack in periods Of cloudy weather
which restricted the operations OF
our fighters.
Originally we had deployed some
500 balloons for defense, however, 1t
was soon increased to 1900. The
Balloon Command had been waiting
since the start of the year to show
what they could do. The flying
bombs game them the chance. About
the middle of July 1t was decided to
take two bold steps. The decision
was made to move the entire anti
aircraft belt down to the coast so
that the guns should get an I'M
interrupted field of view. This move
entailed a frightening Of the front,
and in consequence, necesSitated
the deployment of many additional
guns.
Since the guns were sited on the
coast, a high proportion OF the
bombs destroyed were brought down
harmlessly into the sea. In fact,
during the last fortnight, only As
per cent of the bombs launched got
across the English Coast as against
rs per cent in June.
It is sometimes said that the fly
ing bomb presents an easy target for
anti-aircraft guns. This is not so.
Owing to its small size, tough con-
Struction and great speed, it is reck-
oned by our scientists that the fly
ing bomb is eight times as hard to
bring down as an ordinary German
bomber flying on a straight course.
In destroying such high proportion
of these difficult targets, our anti
aircraft gunners have achieved a
truly remarkable success.
Londoners owe much to the men
and women, Of the Anti-Aircraft
Command whose energy and lead
ership these achievements are in
large measure due.
During the first few weeks OF the
flying bomb attacks, fighters oper-
ated in a single one; stretching over

The preparations and measures
taken against the bomb were de-
scribed in paper by Duncan
Sandys, M. p, chairman of the COM
mittee on operational measures
against the flying bombs, set up by
the British War Cabinet. From Mr..
Sandy's report, the following story
came.
In April of 1913 four rather vague
reports were received In England
from secret agents which suggested
that the Germans were developing
long-range bombardment weapon
Of some novel type. The reports in
dicated that the weapon was being
developed on the Baltic coast. Re-
connaisSance aircraft brought back
photos which drew attention to a
tiny blurred Speck. On close exam
ination it could be seen that the
object was the shape of miniature
aeroplane sitting on what seemed
to be an inclined ramp filled with
rails. From this 1t was deduced
that the object must have been a
pilotless, jet-propelled aircraft.
Last November it was discovered
that the Germans were building all
along the French Coast a series of
concrete structures which had GER
tain unmistakeable features in COM
mon with those seen before.
All the coastal constructions ap-
peared to be oriented towards Lon
don. British and American Air
Forces started attacking these fly
ing bomb sites last December and
continued necessarily through the
winter and spring until every one
was destroyed. The enemy tried to

BIBLE COURSE IN SCHOOLS
IS MERiTORlOUS PLAN

Announcement of a definite move Tor
religious training in connection with reg
ular courses in the Ell Centre schools COM
mends itself to all clear-thinking people
and no better service could be rendered
the young people today. The plan should
be given full support in every way-en-
listment of instructors if necessary and
subscription of necessary funds.
The plan adopted and now in full force
in the Los Angeles schools has met all
requirements, it appears, and is receiv-
ing hearty support and universal approx
al.
Proper instruction in reading the Bible
not only will go far to round out an edu-
cation, but can not fail as character
builder, so necessary for good citizenship.
To those who are cogniZant of present
day trends, it is astonishing and amazing
how little the average young boy or girl
knows about the Bible 1t may as we'll
be accepted as fact that Sunday Schools
do not. for one reason or another, meet
all the needs. These institutions will well
come the plan now approaching compile
ton in the El Centro schools.
Call it what you will, the world today
needs some manner of uplift, spiritual
uplift, if you will. and what's more, a
sounding, good old-fashioned spiritual
uplift. We are forward-looking nation,
but there comes the time when some
thing can be gained by looking backward.
and il is now. We have travelled many
other roads-and so has the world at
large. An end to these roads has been
reached on the bloody fields of battle
in the cruelest war of all time. When this
war ends the world must turn back and
find a rev road, new spirit to take 1t
olnnQ the new ways. spiritually re-
viVnf vived people ~ag only can make the turning.
Leaving all this aside. time spent read
ing the Bible is profitably spent for the
individual. Who is there who may not
add to his knowledge by turning to the
Proverbs? Who may not be cheered by
the Songs of David, or are there any who
NAV not find a better pattern for life in
Reatitudes or who may not be uplifted by
the Psalms?
We commend and compliment the
school authorities and all others who are
sneedinp this fine program to completion.

IMITATION IN GERMANY
CRACKING NAzl MORALE
(Riverside Daily Press)

One of the most terrible results OF the
chaos in Germany after the last war was
an initiation which rendered the countrys
money literally not worth the paper it
was printed on. In 1928. at its height,
the German mark quotation in Cologne
was four trillion to the dollar!
The memory of that period when few
could Law their hands on enough paper
notes TO buy one loaf of bread, was a
large factor in the swing OF the people
to the NaZis. who promised stabilty,
Jobs and power.
II is interesting TO note recent lnfor-
nation on Germanys current monetary
situation, twenty-one years after the tfag-
ic period. five years after the war the
Nazis began, Dragging they would Oflng
To the Germans the cream OF all the
world.
The Office of War Information quotes
the Munich, newspaper Nachrichten as
saving that note circulation WITHIN the
country increased 10 per cent between
September Is and October 81 of this year
Circulation on the latter date was a.
7O3. .O73. 900 marks, a rise of l,44S,OOO,-
600. or nearly 3 per cent over the pre-
yious week. And a dispatch from Stock
holm states flatly that the paper Relchs-
mark is almost worthless.
Now reports of disturbances inside the
country are so persistent as to be hope
full. Cheering news for the Allies is that
there is a financial panic raging This
will be as effective in undermining the
morale of the nation as major defeat
in battle.
1t is recognized that when the people
of Germany perceive that they are losing
their homes and the wherewthal to buy
food, interest in fighting the war to the
bitter end will fade rapidly. When the
props at home go out from under the
military machine at the fronts, army
morale will vanish as the fighting forces
realize they have little for which to fight
1t is not difficult to understand what
Germans old enough to remember are
thinking today.

FORCED MILITARY TRAINING
IS WAY TO COMMUNISM

Forced military training or any other
phase of government training Is not the
way of democracy, but the way OF total
itarianism. President Roosevelts So
called substitute plan for military tram
inu of one million American youths year.
" is nothing more than peace-tlme con-
scription and is as surely communlstic
as any such system now operative IN
Europe.
His attempt to disguise the plan by
deleting the word military" is bald
and bold attempt to mislead the public
in his hope to get public opinion back
of it all. Necessarily, the proposed train
ing would be under the direction of army
men, high in rank, now fighting the world
war. The physical phase of the program
would be only incidental just as trained
fighters must be physically fit
Thus any way looked at the proposal
is based on creating war machine, and
a peace-time machine at that.
If the President is so determined to
give the nations young men physical
training, why set up the project within
army control and direction?
And why should the government be
looking around to find something to train
into young men?
One answer, and a sound one, backed
by experience, is to look back upon the
CCC. In the name of a great utilitarian
gesture, the administration hit upon an
other way to parcel out jobs at a time
when it was totally incompetent to give
the nation opportunity to be industrially

The new SECRETARY
(San Diego Union)

Although Edward R. Stettinius jr., Al,
is the Youngest secretary of state appoint
ed since Edmond Randolph served under
George Washington, questions Of youth
are out with the passing of the campaign.
Mr.. Stettinius has background of i'm
portant experience and an unusual meas
ure of executive ability. He gave excel
lent service in important war agencies
and has been under-secretary of state
since September, 1943. He thus takes
over this important post with background
of close familiarity with its problems.
The new secretary, while possessed of
ample diplomatic qualities, is generally
regarded as a realist and if given suffi-
cient freedom of initiative may be ex-
pected to follow practical course in for
eign affairs. Of all the men available, ne
seems to have been by far the best choice.
In view of the record, however, it is like
ly that Mr. Roosevelt will continue as
during the past II years to be in actual
fact his own secretary of state.
