gressor."
Here at the request of Rotary Of
~ficials, Colonel Bowman holds a re-
cord for distinguished service during
both World wars.
Speaking of the reasons behind
the present world plight, he said
that 'the necessary leadership, the
necessary courage and the necessary
morals seem to have gone out of
America for the time being" and
that unless the condition is remedied
the United States will stumble into
a third World war which will be
no picnic"
Prophesies Attack Methods
Prophesying that if a third World
Val does come American people
will be killed in their homes" he
pointed out the cities of New York,
Chicago, and Buffalo as being pro-
bable, susceptible points for "bac-
THEOLOGICAL" or "atomic" attacks.
To prevent war, the United States
must act and act fast, the speaker
declared, adding that though "this

the Aggressor Communism and So
cialism) cannot be stopped by such
force. He pointed out that to get

humility a dignity of the human
spirit"
