Freedom from Rockets No Guarantee
Future Preparedness Is Unnecessary

after an arInistice, when the country
is lulled into . feeling Of false
security. Obviously, too, the plan
should cover all research operations
of Army and Navy and not merely
ordnance. It is hoped that the COM
mittee will adjust differences along
these lines and that an adequate
bill will be passed at this session.
The work of the OSRD under DR..

convincingly demonstrated the ne
