THOSE who criticize our Ital-
L ian campaign have generally
noted the failure 10 bring TO
bear true concentration Of
force"
The principle Of concentra-
ton Of force is sound no matter
what strategy is followed. The
chief fault in the conduct Of this
war has been a disregard Of
this basic principle
Instead of deciding which
military force would he dbmi-
nant in obtaining victory, and
proceeding 10 produce IL in over
powering quantities, we have
spread our effort on many d.
verse elements.
Orthodox military observers
who recognize the law of con-
centration of force in ground
action somehow forget that it
applies just as we'll in air action
to score a crucial decision.
THUS they declare that air
l. power alone will not be de-
cisive against Germans, and
dismiss "the theory that bomb
ing can be decisive. Conceding
that air power is Of great i'm
portance," they declare that II
is not living up 10 the claims OF
its more Jealous advocates. "
These quotations are from a re-
cent national magazine They
are typical of a familiar kind of
bruSh-off for air power.
The brush-off fails to take
into consideration the most
vital fact of all--namely, that
air power has not yet been
given the necessary concentra-
ton Of strategic force for a real
test.
Nowhere as yet have our air
leaders been able to work with
equipment in any way compar-
able in magnitude and quality
to what the navy, for instance,
has in the Pacific.
They have been expected to
demonstrate the validity Of
their strategic claims without
benefit of the concentration Of
force acknowledged TO be essen
tial in other. military under
takings.

Meat Points Validated
For Earlier Buying

In order that consumers may be
able to store meats in the current
period of good supply, the Once OF
Price Administration has advanced
the validity of 120 meat points for
the purchase from farmers of ra-
toned meats, especially pork.
While the action does not give
housewives any more meat over a
period of time, OPA said it's order
was designed to encourage farmers
to slaughter hogs on the farm
thus cutting down the number
coming into congested markets"
OPA validated Immediately the
red stamps in Book 4 numbered
eight" and lettered "A" through
M The stamps may be used in
advance only for on-th farm pur-
chases. While the stamps are good
for purchase of any type of rationed
meats, 1t was pointed out that farm
slaughter largely is limited to hogs.
For advance purchases of meats
from farmers. the last 96 brown
points in Ration Book 3 also NAV
be used, OPA said This gives 2l6
points to each consumer for such
neat purchases.

his 47-year career to check the au-
thenticity and authorship of almost
10000 Government papers as we'll as
numerous materials from outside
the Government.
Before the Lindbergh ransom
money was paid, Mr.. Farrar visual
lied a general and, as it developed,
reasonably accurate description of
the writer of the notes. He also
reported the man would be deter
mined to carry out his Infamous
plan regardless of consequences to
himself and otheds.
Testified in Murder Case.
He figured as an expert witness
for the prosecution in the Rockville
MD murder conspiracy trial OF
Anne Lyddane. He testified that the
"Googy" Carnell note was written on
the same kind of paper and on the
same typewriter which the defendant
used In her bank office.
Mr.. Farrar entered Government
service during the administration of
President Harrison. He worked
under his father, Bernard G.. Farrar,
who was subtreasurer at ST. Louis.
1t was estimated that he had saved
the Government millions of dollars
by revealing attempted frauds and
forgeries. Outside the service he
solved mysteries which would have
baffled some of the great f1ctional
detective heroes, his friends main
tanned.
Solved Fraternity Problem.
One of his more amusing cases
came when Phi Beta Kappa, ma
tional honorary fraternity, got into
a quandry over the proper method
to give the secret handshake He
was called in to test the authentic
ity of document describing the
grip as established in 1776 when
the fraternity was founded at Will
liam and Mary College.
Students had marked up the docu-
ment to prevent invading British
from learning their secret. The
complicated problem finally was
solved through the use of infra red
rays.
The contest over a will in South
ern Maryland revolved around its
genuiness since the paper had been
burned almost to crisp. Through
the use of ultraviolet rays he was
able to decipher the document.
After he retired he moved to
Daytona Beach. Fla, and used it as
headquarters for his subsequent
travels on private cases throughout
the country. He is survived by a
daughter, Mrs. Isabel Seitz of
Washington.
