 But his attitude changed when he was called in to handle the freight problems connected with the construction. The prospect of Brooklyn seemed exciting, after staid Philadelphia.
 Once settled in their new home, Mrs. Rogers set as her goal the attainment of proper position" and the marrying of of her two daughters. History of the day finds its way into the story, including the assassination of Garfield, the visit to America of Oscar Wilde, and the Hayes-Tilden controversy. Highly amusing is the indignation of the Irish when they learn that Queen Victoria's birthday has been chosen as the date for the dedica- tion of the Brooklyn Bridge, and JesSe's ascension in a balloon pro- vides a chuckle. MT. Idell has done again what he did in his "Cetnen- nial Summer"-written simple, colorful entertainment.

U. s. Planning Defense Against Robot Weapons
War of Future to Feature Long-Range Instru- ments of Destruction = Former War Core spondent Presents Interesting, but
 Alarming Picture of Wars
 in Coming Years.

Convinced that German robot at- tacks on the Continental United States are entirely possible" and that if any aggressor again attempts world conquest this nation will be attacked first, the War and Navy Departments are working on post war defense plans now. So says Thomas M. Johnson, close student of military affairs and war corre- spondent with Pershing's armies, in an exclusive article in the Readers Digest.
 The reason our military author ities expect such an attack is plain, he says. We have twice shown the world that we have greater war power than any other nation on earth when given time to mobilize it. So future aggresor's first goal must be to crush us before he attacks anyone else; and not give us what we have always needed in other emergencies-time."
 Such blow is possible, MT. John son believes, because we are no longer out of reach. "Today's air planes cross oceans on routine op- erations. Tomorrow the B-29-which can drop a big bomb load on tar gets 1000 miles distant and come home-will be superseded by planes with much longer range, dropping more powerful bombs. Planes drag ging gliders laden with airborne troops will be able to fly from Eu- rope or Asia and land men to seize Pittsburgh steel mills or tine Mississippi River bridges. In the foreseeable future are improved tn- vasion craft which could land troops and supplies on our coasts. There will be robot bombs of increased power, longer range and greater &C., curacy, launched from planes, from carriers, from islands-perhaps even from other continents. We may be struck out of the blue by dghtnings we did not know existed"
 In the Digest article, which was prepared after a long series of con- sultations with military and naval leaders, MT Johnson outlines the rough first draft of a postwar de- fense being framed as best suited for our country by such outstanding officers as Admiral H. E. Yarnell, who is in charge of postwar plan ming for the Navy; Major General William F. Tompkins. heading the Army group; and Major General Harold L. George, representing the Air Forces. In their opinion, he writes, our primary need is to guard against surprise attack by estab- fishing better intelligence service than ever before, because i've, as urgently as anyone, shall need to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-11-22

know what the worlds armies, navies, and air forces are doing and planning"
 The other needs, the article con- tinues, are to have not the biggest, but the most modern army, navy, and air force, and outposts well equipped as bases for our armed forces, and as warning stations against surprise attack. The bom- Der line now is considered the front line, and Army and Navy leaders are said to want it pushed out as far as possible to protect the home front. Our air force," they insist, must always be ready to take off with better planes and fliers than anyone else has, if only because of the great distances we must cover. /"
 For that reason, it is stated, the Air Force believes we should en- courage private flying and air trans port, and supply planes to schools to train youth to fly. The training of manpower also is one of the Army's primary plans, the article goes on, stating that these plans are built on the assumption that Congress will pass law providing that every ablebodied young American shall be trained for one year to defend his country. After training, these men would be reservists, ready to return to active duty if emergency required. The aim is above all, not to retreat to the days before Pearl Harbor when our entire mobile army woul dnot have filled the Yankee Stadium"
 In preparing our backlog of fu- ture defense equipment, 1t is point ed out that today's weapons may be tomorrow's junk, and that we must replace them with new-on a lang-range plan according to the rate of scientific development. MT Johnson reminds us that the French kept not only airplane engines but i much else after 1918, and that though they saved some money, in 1940 their antiques helped lose them their liberty.
 Always we have pursued policy of saving pennies in peace, Mr. Johnson's article states, and in war squandering dollars-and the lives of our bravest and best. To help our people understand this. and how to stop it, the students of war who are our actuaries of peace have drawn a final clause for the peace insurance they would present for uor approval. He finds that they would keep bureaus of public relations of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to show our people through press radio, and other media the practical way to avert wars, or at least to shorten them and cut their dread full cost in lives and treasure.
 It is their contention, according to the article, that our influence in any international leageu for peace will be directly proportionate to our armed strength: and such a league vii lhave a much better chance of success if backed by power. and power that is ready to be unleaShed on the instant.
