New German Plane DESIGNED
To Hit Eastern b. s. Cities

err de Seversky said today that on
the eve of the Allied European
victory the Germans had developed
a fourengined jet bomber for trans
Atlantic roundtrip bombing raids
against New York and other east
ern American cities.
Simultaneously, supreme head.
quarters announced that Heinrich
Bernhard Oelerich, inventor, de-
signer and producer of German Jet
planes and other military aircraft
had surrendered to the U. S. Mill
tary Government and offered his
jet secrets and aircraft designs to
the American Army.
De Seversky, noted aircraft de-
signer, declared that before the
war with Japan is ended the U. S.
Army Airforces might have planes
in operation capable of 10, O00-mile
nonstop flights.
De Seversky also disclosed to a
press conference some hitherto I'm.
publicized facts about America S
newest Srperbomber, the B36, but
censors would not clear them for
publication. (Censors also cut out
% other words of this dispatch re-
lating to new U. S. planes)
He said Reichsmarshal Hermann
Goering told him and Gen. Carl A.
Spaatz that the Nazis would have
sent the big jet bombers against
the United States within a few
months if the war had not ended.
De Seversky forecast that jet
propulsion would replace internal
combustion engines as the main
power of all aircraft in a very
short time and predicted the Unit
ed States would make rapid strides
in development of jet-propelled
aircraft as a result of lessons learn
ed from Germany.
Because of these lessons, Ameri-
can engineers will be able to speed
development of wing design and
1--WE won't have to adhere to trial
and error methods of the past" he
said.
The Allies found at least one ex-
perimental model of the long range
264-in France, de Seversky said,
adding the plane was in its final
stages of development, although the
Nazis still were trying to reduce
it's fuel consumption to permit long
flights.
De Seversky said the Germans
were able to get the jump on the
Allies in jet propulsion develop
ment. GO words censore6.
Admitting the Germans were
ahead of the Allies in rocket de-
velopment also, de Seversky sug-
gested that eff they had invested
the same resources in orthodox
airpower they would have been bet
ter off in this war"
De Seversky, special consult
ant to Secretary of War Stimson,
said Germany had 900 ME-262 jet
fighters at one time and hoped to
build 5000 which Goering consider
ed necessary to make Allied bomb
ing Improbable.
De Seversky said strategic bomb
ing of Germany exceeded all ex-
pectations and estimated so per
cent of the 10 German cities of
more than 100000 population were
destroyed by bombing.
