Atomic Warfare $ Makes Any Victory Impossible

FAIRBANKS, (P) - Bee u e through the nature of atomic war fare No nation-and that in- cludes the United States-can win another war;" General Henry H. CHap) Arnold, retired head of the U. s. army air force, said yester- day that the only form of victory left in the world is prevention" "
 The five-star general, now on an inactive status, told an inter- viewer his statements were mere ly meditations of a Sonoma County (CalifD farmer" but added:
 "The only proven method to prevent aggressive nations from pulling the world toward war is by making nations afraid to wage war"
 Arnold said the United Nations should consider forming a swift striking aerial international riot squad based at strategic centers. This force, he suggested, should consist of 1000 to 1,500 long range planes.
 The wartime chief of the army air forces voiced his views while reminiscing at the scene of one of his earliest achievements in American military aviation. Thir- teen years ago as a lieutenant col onel, Arnold led the first long range mass flight of army bomb CTS from the United States to Alaska.
 The longest single hop on the flight-which included mapping 6O,OOO square miles of previously uncharted Alaska and won him the MacKay trophy in 1935-was 96O miles from Seattle to Juneau, Arnold recalled.
 "We made that hop in six hours," he said. "Today's army bombers fly nonstop. from Seattle to Anchorage-twice the distance in approximately the same time"
 Arnold said his present visit to Alaska was purely a personal va caion." He is accompanied by Mrs. Arnold.
 While here he inspected several air bases and army installations which were constructed on his recommendations. He sailed to Seward aboard a tanker, rode the Alaska railroad from Anchorage to Fairbanks, and flew to Juneau. He reboarded the tanker Sunday enroute to the States.
 Arnold said that on his visit he has seen tremendous develop ment in every field except agri- culture and, commenting as a California farmer" said he be- lieved no "healty growth on any frontier area is possible without a sound foundation in farming"

Mr.. Patterson told reporters the
Army had made no draft calls in
recent months because it was up to
scheduled strength, now about L.

Recruiting figures are being
watched closely. The Secretary said
the present weekly rate of recruit
ing indicates a total of about $4,000
for this month. which would be short
OF the goal OF approximately $1,000.
The critical point in Army

West Downs East in Bible Quiz
AS Conqressmen Meet on Air

Three Representatives from the
West who showed unusual knowi-
edge of the Bible last night nosed
out three Eastern House members
on the 3O1st Radio Bible Quiz over
Station WWDC, with the final score
400 to 342 points.
The studio audience of constit-

From the East were Representa-

victors were Representatives Hays,
Democrat, Of Arkansas; Mahon,
Democrat, of Texas, and Murdock,
Democrat, of Arizona.
One question which stopped both
sides was the biblical source OF
the quotation: what Hath God
wrought" Mr.. Priest, already far
ahead as individual high scorer,
smiled confidently and replied,
THAT was the quotation used by
Morse in sending the first telegraph

"Yes, of course replied Mr..

Draft Extension Plea
Depends on Month S
Recruiting Figures
Ry fhs Associated Rras,

Secretary of War Patterson said
last night that the Army's de-
cision on whether to ask for ex-
tension of the draft will depend on
this months recruiting figures and
he Is mot sanguine about the re-
suits"
A Recommendation will be made
early in February. The draft law
expires March 81:
The secretary, in an interview on
MICS University of the Air broad
cast, said his own preference would
be an Army of volunteers. Draft
extension will not be recommended
he added, "if we can see any other
way OF getting the men We need"
I'VE are not getting" the $1,000
enlistments monthly needed to
meet the Arrny's manpower goal of
100000 men for this year, he said.
The secretary, on the general
theme of "the state of our de-
fenses," made these other points:
l. My personal opinion is that
occupation (of former enemy lands)
will continue for a long time"
2. 1--WE cannot occupy Germany
and Japan with atomic bombs or
guided missiles" so the new scientific
weapons have not eliminated the
need for big forces.
Many Troops Needed.
3. Further, along that line, mod
ern war, because of the weapons
used and the distances involved,
disperses the fighting forces. SO that
large numbers of troops are needed
in more places"
4. Assertions tnat the Army is
sitting scientific development are
nonsense" the Army would well
come a national science foundation
and would willingly transfer to it
such fundamental research con-
tracts as the War Department now
supports; the service has always
favored postwar civilian develop
ment of atomic energy.
S. The Nation needs universal
military training partly because age,
death and other factors take away
each year million and half of
the trained war veterans.
s. Ten years of universal training
would not make available as many
men as were in the Army during
World War IL.
7. "All the water has been
squeezed out" of the Army's $6,700,-
900 900 budget for the next fiscal
year "and if we get another sub
stantial squeeze we will be unable
to carry out our tasks"
8. Any disarming this Nation does
without an equivalent concession by
other nations "is not the kind of
disarmament that will lead to
peace"
9. The prospects for lasting peace
through the United Nations are
good"
Although there have been strong
indications that no effort will be
made to continue the draft beyond
its present expiration date, final
