sonalities reflect some phases oil
their times.
Though the reflection is in cor
rect perspective, it is pale; it's
done with too many mirrors. If
Boswell is interested in modern
izing the village of Browdley, he
isn't so interested as Hilton, who
wants to modernize his novel. If
Livia is ruthless, if she brushes
all opposition mercilessly, it is not
real but synthetic, it is more in
Hilton's mind than on his pages
she brushes opposition not like a
juggernaut but like go-cart.
Boswell is a kind of Pollyanna
Of the Midlands Eleanor H.
Porter's "Pollyanna' was best
seller in the last war and Boswell
may become one in this. At the
beginning of the story, indeed, he
is promising, but doesn't hold up.
For me he's too optimistic, too
noble, too charitable, too sweet.
We can't blame it all on George;
part of the fault lies in Hilton's
too sweet sentences. There's never
a rough edge, never a place where
you can see beneath the spit and
polish. If you like this kind of
writing, there is no better prac-
titioner than this author.

Twenty-four PAT 'Thunderbolt
fighters roared across the Blue
thenthal Army Air Base at below
tree-top level in simulated straf-
ing attack yesterday afternoon to
open the Air Corps show at the
field, a part of the celebration OF
the 38th anniversary of the Army
Air Force.
The show, which attracted sew
eral thousands from the city, was
featured by a chemical munitions
demonstration of the latest type
of incendiary bombs which are
now being used against the Japa-
|nese.
The terrific heat developed by
the thermite incendiary charge
was demonstrated when a portion
of the chemical burned through
metal-lined wooden box in a
matter of seconds.
Thirty-four of the charges were
exploded simultaneously in a close
pattern to show what the cover
age would be when a cluster OF
the incendiaries were dropped
from a plane. Thermite burns at
5000 degrees Farenheit and is ex-
tremely difficult to extinguish.
A demonstration of magnesium
incendiaries, which are use d
against wooden structures in ia
pan, followed. This type is dan
gerous when doused with water
as it's explodes. A cluster of this
type was also exploded.
A 500 pound charge of jellied
gasoline, which is used in petrole-
UNI fire bombs, was detonated to
simulate a bomb hit. Exploding
with an ear-numbing blast, the
flaming jelly spread blanket of
fire over a large area. This type
of bomb is in daily use against
the Japanese, both against cities
and enemy positions.
Other demonstrations were given
of smoke bombs; signal smoke,
used in ground-air communica-
ton; PHOSPHORUS grenades, en-
ployed against the Japs in pill
boxes and caves; land mines, and
the famous "Molotov Cocktail"
which was used in the early part
of the war. Consisting of a mix
ture of white PHOSPHORUS and
gasoline in a glass bottle, the wea-
pom was thrown against the sides
of tank, exploding with the
flaming gasoline running inside
the tank through openings.

To Save Face

Hanson W. Baldwin, New York Times
analyst, discussing the destruction Of Japan S
Navy, adds: From now on, the Pacific is a
highway of INVASION not barrier to victory
What is true of the Navy is rapidly becom-
ing true of Japan's air force too. Whatever
number of warplanes Japan may have and is
still producing, they are all virtually grounded
for lack of fuel and oil.
The loss of Borneo oil fields and the effective
blockade Of the home islands finds the Japa-
nese scraping the bottom of their oil barrel.
This accounts for the fact that as American
carrier-based planes find their targets few il
any Japanese planes rise to combat them and
why so many of their planes are destroyed
and damaged on the ground.
From now on to paraphrase Mr.. Bald
wins pithy remark about Japan's navy, 'the
Pacific is an airway of invasion, not a barrier
to victory.''
With fliers of Admiral Halseys fleet telling
the japanese what cities are to be bombed,
and then bombing them, it is obvious that
when General Macarthur launches his inva-
sion, he will find the way well prepared.
Nobody but the japanese can understand why
they do not surrender now, before their home
land becomes a wilderness of ashes.
One radio commentator may have found the
reason. He says that Japan is waiting for
SO they can claim they cannot defeat the whole
world and in surrender save what face they
have left.
