SUPERIOR AIR FORCES CLAIMED BY GERMANY Berlin, May 2.—()—Hermann Wil- helm Goering, minister of aviation, said Thursday that the German air force, because of its superior quality of men and material, would be more than a match for any assailant, ever though that assailant were numer- ically stronger.
