Strategy
ORense vs.. Defense

OHenSe VS.. DeTenSe
The military pendulum may be
swinging back in favor of defensive
weapons, some strategists are con-
Vinced.
Guided missiles, for instance, are
being actively developed to cope with
one of the main offensive weapons
OF World War II, the strategic
bomber.
There is progress also in develop
ment of land weapons-guns without
recoil, an improved proximity fuse.
better artillery fire controls, i'm
proved non-magnetic land mines and
better tactical aircraft.
Military men say this apparent
turn toward the defensive weapon
follows the historic pattern. An Of
fensive weapon is countered with a
defensive weapon-first the stone,
then protective shield; the arrow,
then armor; then the armor- piercing
slug fired from a primitive match
lock gun.
1t is for this reason that develop
ment of rockets which can seek out
and hit bombers is assuming such
Importance,
At the moment. the offensive-de-
fensive duel is between the long
range. high-altitude bomber and the
jet interceptor-fighter. The contest is
SO close that the House Armed Forces
Committee is launching a study of
the situation.
Overshadowing all, of course, is
the atomic bomb. Some scientists
have said there appears no effective
counter weapon for it.
Another vital question is: Does
Russia have the A-bomb?
Two years ago, a commission head
ed by DR.. Karl T. Compton, then
president of Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and later chairman of
the lation's Research and Develop
ment Board. declared:
"For a period estimated by respon-
sible scientists at not less than four
and not more than 10 years, we can
expect immunity from (atomic) at.
tack because we alone possess the
atomic bomb."
There has been no positive evi.
dence since to prove that wrong

LindeIFs Great KnuckIer Gets
Him Trial as Yankee Pitcher
BY me Asseeicsed pssss

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.
April THE New York Yam
KEGS will attempt q noble ex-
pertinent" today with the re-
conversion of Outfielder Johnny
Lindel into a pitcher.
The 32-year-old Lindell has
been named by Manager Casey
Stengel TO pitch in an intra-
squad game here. His future
as a hurler undoubtedly will
depend upon his showing.
Nobody on the club is taking
the experiment lightly and both
Stengel and Lindell are very
serious about it. Lindell Is
convinced he can become a
winning pitcher. He has de-
veloped q knuckle-ball that Is
the talk of the camp.
Stengel, after watching john
ny make monkeys Of his best
hitters with the tantalizing
pitch, decided to allow him to
give it a try in a regular game.
The way I look at it," said
Lindell, "is like this. I believe
I could be much more valuable
to the Yankees If I could play
left field against right-handed
pitching and on occasions be
used as a spot pitcher.
I've been working on this
knuckler for five years. I've
got it controlled now where I
can get it over the plate four
out of every five pitches. I
know it's a great pitch because
nobody on the club can hit it,"
Unlike most knuckleballers.
Lindell throws his of the end
of his fingertips. Instead of
lodging and dipping like Dutch
Leonard's, Lindelrs knuckler
breaks sharply down and out to
a righthand batter.
1t does so many tricks that
Catcher Gus Niarhos wears o
mask even when he warns UP
Lindell.
We've got a pretty fair
pitching staff" Casey said.
But no manager has enough
good pitchers. From what I've
seen so far, Johnny's lot bet

M.ALMEDY TRIAL

Only one important committee
hearing at this session of Congress
has been chairmanned by a Repub-
lican = Senator Baldwin of Con-
necticut who presides over the
Malmedy trial investigation. Bald
! win is one of the ablest and most
fair minded members of the Senate
hut there is an interesting back
stage story behind his appointment
1t results from the fact that
Marylands dapper Senator Tydings
wanted to euchre the probe of the
Army's court-martial away from his
Democratic colleague from North
Carolina, swallow tailed Clyde Hoey
Tydings appeared to believe that
American officers were justified in
using brutality and torture &c
wiring confessions from ex-German
Storm Troopers who allegedly took
part in the Malmedy massacres
during the Battle of the Bulge.
Tydings also claimed jurisdiction
for his Armed Service Committee
though only after Hoey had ord
cred his special investigating COM
mittee to look into the case. Pre-
viously, Tydings had flatly refused
to investigate; then changed his
mind after Hoey's interest.
Fearing that Tydings would
whitewash the brass hats, Hoey sug-
gested turning the investigation
over to a joint committee, made up
Of members from the Armed Ser
vices, Judiciary and Expenditures
Committees.
This started talks between the
two that were still proceeding when
suddenly Tydings pulled surprise
announcement that his committee
would go ahead with its own inves-
tigation, and he appointed Senator
Baldwin, Republican, to head the
probe.
The payoff is that Baldwin's law
partner, Dwight F. Fanton, helped
the Army prosecute the Malmedy
defendants.
