Post Wor Air
 Force Is Urged

Boston, November 2. - (UP) - Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, famed World War air ace and now pres ident of Eastern Air Lines, urges a permanent American reserve of 50,- 900 military planes after the war.
 Tt will give us reserve every body will respect" said Ricken- packer yesterday as he inaugurated flights from Boston by his airplane.
 'If We had had them in 1889, we wouldn't have 8 war today" he asserted
 Seventy per cent of the people who travel throughout the world by air are Americans, he claimed, and the nation, therefore, should start preparing world air routes of its own.
 Predicting that New Englanders soon will breakfast on fruits havest- ed in the south and west the preW- ous afternoon, Rickenbacker said region must keep pace with expand ing air service by more airport con- struction.

mensity of that infamous record must see at once that it could not have been accomplished by any small handful of so-called war lords. Obviously. those war lords required considerable assistance, and they found it, willing and wait ing, in millions and millions of av- craze Japanese.
 If the average Japanese were the goldman he thinks he is, we might hope that defeat would teach him lesson. But he is a very hu- man individual, and his reaction to defeat will be equally human, and therefore practicable.
 The Japanese will regard their defeat as an unbearable humilia- tion to be avenged by any means at the earliest possible opportun- ity. They will have no desire for our friendship, except as it may help prepare them for the day of vengeance. To believe otherwise is to believe that Japan might drive 135,0o0,000 Americans back into our original 13 colonies, and make us like it. and accept it.
 Secondly, the Japanese will never admit that they have done any wrong. The Japanese will always consider this religious crusade aimed at establishing world peace. Yes, the Japanese says we will have no more wars as soon as all the world accepts the single political and religious dicta- torship of his god-emperor.
 Thirdly, the Japanese will never admit that they were defeated by our superior equipment, morale or ability. Neither will Japan's mili- tarists be tiescredited as & class. A handful of necessary scapegoats will be blamed for failure to capl- talize on great victories which would have assured Japan easy and quick victory.
 TERRIBLE TEMPTATION
 The destruction of the Ameri- can fleet at Pearl Harbor, the con- quest of an empire potentially the most powerful on earth, and the willingness to wage war against the combined forces of the entire world-these will be but few of the glorious memories the aver age Japanese will have of the war lords. Also to their credit will be the fact that no single nation. not even America, undertook to defeat them single-handed.
 Finally. a terrible temptation will ring in the ears of every Japanese for decades to come. It is the un- pleasant fact honestly acknowl- edged by General Marshall: "The Japanese attacks on the Pacific Fleet in Hawaii uncovered the en- tire west coast of North America"
 Obviously, from the Japanese viewpoint, that Is the invitation to try again, next time with new war lords possessing sufficient foresight and ability to capitalize on such spectacular victories.

Tokyo Raid Was Look-See
BY UNITED PRESS

Tokyo finally decided today that the American planes-identified in some broadcasts as B-29 superfort- resses-which supposedly flew over the Japanese capital yesterday were bent solely on reconnaissance and dropped no bombs.
 This official version of the raid, issued by vice chief Kenichi Kum- agai of Japan's air defense general headquarters, was broadcast by Tokyo after Japanese stations had aired long series of conflicting re- ports of the first air raid alert to be sounded in the capital in two and g half years.
 Kumagai acknowledge dthat the mere sounding of the alert had created confusion and disorganiza- tion, EGG monitors who recorded his statement said. Some people Host their calmneSs," Kumagai com plained, and others failed to take shelter quickly enough.
 His statement still left vague, however, the number and type of planes involved in yesterdays re- ported flight. He said merely that enemy aircraft" had appeared over the Tokyo area. Earlier broadcasts had referred vaguely to lone" and "se"ear' superfortresses and suggested that some of them dropped bombs.
 Though the flight was confined to reconnaissance, Kumagai said, it is cognizable that the tendency to carry out raids against Japan is ever increasing" He reminded the Japanese that their homes easily could be set afire and urged them to keep adequate water supplies on hand.
 He also deplored a scarcity of air raid shelters.
 American sources remained silent on reports of the flight. Had an &C., tual raid been made, 20th bomber command headquarters in Washing ton presumably would have made an immediate announcement, as has been its policy. However, it was un- likely any announcement would be made of a reconnaissance flight.

QuodsA,B C, b Doing We'll

{, Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-(UP)- Three girls and a boy, the first , born six minutes older than the baby" and all of them starting their second day of life, were in perfect health" and good color" in hospital incubators today, unaware that their Caesarian birth called for . new page in obstetrical his tory.
 The problem of naming the babies remained. They were tagged A, B, c, and D, by the hospital staff.
 Three special nurses watched over the quadruplets born to Mrs. Joseph Cirminelio, 30, and her husband, 9 securities and exchange commiS- sion analyst. The father called re- peatedly at Philadelphia Lying In hospital to see his attractive, 30- year-old wife and said he was re. gaining the 12 pounds he worried away awaiting for the multiple birth
 The Cirminello foursome was per- haps the best kept secret ever born. The father knew about their pros- pective arrival, so did friends, and doctors told newspaper reporters. But the mother didn't know that more than one was expected until an attending physician let the in- formation slip within earshot as she lay on an operating table.
 Their existence was revealed three months ago by X-ray, and there were three active and 10 passive but prominent obstetricians" present when A, B. c. and D, arrived just before lunch yesterday.
 pr. John c. Ullery. 37 brought tho babies in what was believed to be the first Caesarian delivery of quadruplets on record.

MMAHON SPEAKS
 AT THREE RALLIES
Claims Danaher Has No Evidence to Back Inter-
 national Cooperation

Torrington, Nov. l- Brien Mc- Mahon, Democratic candidate for United States Senator last night, criticized Senator Danaher as heins one of those Republicans who tail- ed to follow the leadership of Wen- dell willkie when the latter was trying to rid the party of isoia- tionists.
 MT. McMahon spoke at . Demo- cratic rally at City Hall here, later appearing at rallies in WinSted and North Canaan.
 Pointing out that Senator Dana her now attempts to persuade tho people of Connecticut that he favors international cooperation, MT. Mc- Mahon declared:
 But Senator Danaher has failed to explain why the people should trust him to work for internation- al cooperation in the next six years when he has fought it for the last six. Why should anyone feel that he has suddenly changed his coEi- victions? What evidence has the senator submitted to the people to justify their believing that he will now favor cooperation with the other nations.
 '"The answer is obvious. Senator Danaher has submitted absolutely no evidence to back his claim to a belief in international cooperation.
 "To the contrary, we have a su- perfluity of evidence to show that Senator Danaher is actually op- posed to every any any kind of international cooperation that means anything.
 '"The foremost exponent of gem 1ine international cooperation ia the Republican party was the late Wendell Willkie.
 Tt is significant that Senator Danaher opposed the leader of his own party on this great issue, the issue which transscends all others today. Tn 194O Danaher charged that the people of the country had been made the dupes of a gigantic political conspiracy in the nomina- ton of Mir. Willkie. And the sena- tor has never indicated that his opinion of MT. Willlde changed.
 'The people of Connecticut. I be- leve, are aware of the issue today. I believe the people can and have evaluated Senator Danaher, the man who fought MT. Willkie, the man who appeared on public plat- forms under the auspices of the discredited and misnamed America First Committee. That is why I am confident that the vote of Connecti- cut will be cast in decisive measure for President Roosevelt and the en- tire Democratic ticket"

 Whereas, we have in the nomina- tion of Brien McMahon 8 person of proven ability who has unequiv- ocally declared himself in favor of an international organization for the preservation of peace; and

 The German high command, he told press conference, has kept 28 divisions in Italy-seven times their original Strength-despite the press ing need for troops on the western ana eastern fronts, and has ordered them to hold regardless of their losses.
 The enemy, he said, fears that any attempt to withdraw farther to the north might mean the loss of political and military control not over Ialy alone but in the Reich it. self.
 Alexander revealed that the Ger. mans already have lost 194,0O0 men killed, wounded or captured in the Italian campaign. but he asserted that their leaders seldom lost their heads and usually managed to avoid complete disaster.
 He disclosed that the Italian campaign has a two-fold purpose. :. first, to liberate Italy, and second. 10 absorb and entangle large num- oers or German troops and thus make other sections of the European front more vulnerable to Allied at- tack.
