BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

A national defense program which
will protect the United States
against the development of robot
bombs capable of attacking targets
thousands insteads of hundreds of
miles from their launching sites is
advocated by Representative Glare
Boothe Luce, Republican, of Con-
necticut, who has returned here
after a 2,OOO-mile tour of European
war fronts.
Talking with reporters in her
Office late yesterday, Mrs. Luce out
lined three points which she be-
lieves should be adopted by the
United States as basic military
policies in the immediate future.
They are:
l. Compulsory military training.
2. Establishment of strategic
global air force independent Of both
the Army and the Navy.
3. Appropriations by Congress of
sums sufficient to finance the ex-
Fermentation with and production
of V-weapons over the next 20
years.
Asked whether she believed crea-
ton of a global air force would
necessitate the organization of an
independent branch separate from
the Army and Navy, Mrs. Luce an
sWered that this must follow as a
matter of course.
Discusses Reconstruction.
Aside from these immediate and
demanding aims, Mrs. Luce dis
cussed plans for the reconstruction
of Europe. Her ideas, put succintly
add up to this: Europe is a sham
bles. Russia does not feel that it
should contribute to the relief of
other devastated countries. Eng
land can only feed itself The re-
sponsibility, if it is adopted, lies
with the United States.
Mrs. Luce did not say specifically
that she thought that this country
was morally bound to accept the
tremendous burden. But if it is
accepted, she said, there should be
a relief car" to consolidate plans
and insure efficiency.
What she learned on the Euro
pean war fronts, Mrs. Luce said, has
convinced her the robot bomb is
merely in its infancy. Every mill
tary expert to whom she talked, she
went on, shared that opinion.
Therefore, she concluded, the United
States should not be caught short"
Al 10 i.,fr hill IL,
the House providing the necessary
authorizations for a 20-year re-
search and development program
for propelled missiles.
IF the German V-bombs," she
added, had been invented and de-
veloped two years earlier than they
were, there would be no Great
Britain as a power and the story
of the war would have been quite
different"
Compulsory Training.
Mrs. Luce explained her advocacy
of compulsory military training was
based not only on belief it is neces-
sary for national defense in the
future, but also on her talks with
GIs on the war front. Many of
these men, she said, NAV have to
stay abroad for l8 months or two
years more. They fear their jobs
will be taken by younger men. If
they knew that men in a slightly
lower age group must serve in the
Army before taking civilian jobs,
they would feel that justice was
being done.
In this connection, she explained,
