Washington, Nov. l2 -- tUPD - Rocket space ships capable of huri- ing atomic destruction upon the earth at 5000 miles an hour will be developed in the foreseeable future, Gen. Henry H Arnold said today.
 The Army Air forces chief, In his last report on the war, said defense against such an attack would be all but impossible.
 As for the atomic weapon in it's present primitive form. he proposed complete and "unceasing patrol of the entire world, possibly under the guidance of the United Nations or ganization," to prevent Its manu- facture and use for aggression.
 Arnold urged constant search for defense measures. But he doubted any effective defense could be de- veloped against 3,000-mile-an-hour atomic missiles.
 Past Concepts OutmOded
 An offensive could be carried out from true space ships capable Of operating outside the earth's atmo- sphere" he said, adding:

 Yamashitas refense counsel filed the appeal before his trial was re- sumed this morning, in an llth hour move to save him from exc cution for the crimes committed against the Filipino people by his Japanese soldiery.
 There was no immediate indica- ton as to how long the comman- wealth's highest court would take to act on the petition, which asked for a writ of habeas corpus and a writ of prohibition to halt the trail.
 Last Recourse to SCOTUS
 If the appeal is rejected, Yam ashita's last recourse would be to the Supreme Court of The United States.
 Maj. Robert Kerr chief of the prosecution staff, announced he would wind up his case Friday af- ternoon.
 SulIen and puffy-eyed after a week lend spent in sleep, the erst- while Tiger of Malaya' showed no concern over tle latest legal maneuyering for his life.

 Urges Purchases
 As Pledge to Dead

Declaring that Armistice day is an occasion which points up the responsibility of Americans to keep faith with the menof the Armed forces who fought for better world and particularly those who pro- vided the opportunity to make lasting pease. James E. Moran, chairman of the Victory Loan cam paign, today urged full support of the campaign designed to as- sure national prosperity.
 The effort to win world peace is not possible MT. Moran pointed out, if the financial structure ot this country, the greatest and most powerful nation in the world, IS not sound.
 The Victory Loan is not only intended to subsidize the rehabilita- ton program of this country, but also to fight against the internal enemy-the force or infiation,' he said. Tt is vitally essential to our postwar program that the Victory Loan campaign go over the top in Waterbury and in every commun- ity and city in the country"
 Stating that Armistice day marks the end of the first quarter of the campaign which sends December 8, MT. Moran pointed out that the campaign here is tagging behind schedule and that only little over $500. 900 had been realized toward the final quota of $4,500,0o0
 Let-DOwn Evident
 Though preliminary reports were encouraging, the chairman said, there is evidence of tenn porary let-down. We confidently expect that figures available rom factories and other organizations will boost present return and sky rocket Waterbury to a relatively high position among other cities in the state.
