French foreign ministers.
He said: 1.-THE government of
France remains hostile to any de-
cision being taken now, and will
maintain that position tomorrow
at the meeting Of the Atlantic
Pact Council in New York"
France has opposed any deci-
sion by the Western powers on
rearming Germany. even to the
extent of recruiting German divi-
sions for service under Allied
command.

Allies Open Moneuvers to Find
Ground Answer to Air Power

'How much can or cannot troops
do under enemy air superiority?"
was the problem posed by the
exercises director, 1t. Gen. Sir
Charles Keightly. British Com
mander in chief.
Training instructions put it
this way: cat the start of a war,
the aggressor will, as in the OPEN
ing years of the 1939-1945 war,
undoubtedly have air superiority"
Future land battles will be con-
trolled by television, Gen. Keightly
predicted. But" he added, II
hope it does not lead to arm
chair commanders"
In anticipation of the tele-
vision era, Gen. Keightly has sent
out special film units to shoot
events all over the mock battle
field. The actions-good and bad
by the troops will thus be re-
corded as If television eye were
watching them.

SENNELAGER, Germany, Sept.
25.-Allied ground and air forces
engaged in a vast practice battle
today to find a defense-if there
is one-against a theoretically
superior air force.
The ground-air conflict was the
first major phase in autumn
maneuvers which began yester-
day. Tactics were based on AL
lied military belief that any at
tack against Western Europe
would be backed by an air feet
far larger than anything the
Westerners could at first put in
the skies.
On the ground today were two
British occupation divisions, a
Belgian and a Danish brigade and
an American battalion. Harrass-
ing them from the air were the
Royal Air Forces I'd Group and
two naval air squadrons.

Without Ample Taxes,
Reserve Official Says
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-A Fed
eral Reserve banker said today the
gravest mistake made in f1nanc-
ing World War II was the failure
to tax enough.
"This failure" said M. S. Sym

huge burden of Government debt
and tremendous potentialities for

GAS a consequence, we expert

the country.
Mr.. Szymczak continued:
Even If Government expendi-
lures were almost fully covered
by taxation. it would be highly de-
