The stratosphere bomb, said to weigh as much as 70 tons, is purported to be powered by the same rocket devices used in V-2. How much ex- plosive it will carry is a mys! , but since the V-2 totes a load of some 2,000 puunds. it is reasonable expect that V-3 will be‘even more devastating The Nazis for several years have made threats against the United States metropolis. They have in- ferred that they would bomb it from submarines and froth the air.
