Airpower in the Battle | | ! (New York Times) ! Airpower is playing a tremendous part in the ;bm.tle on the western front. Coupled with strategic | blows aimed at the interior of Germany, including shattered Berlin and a score of rail, oil and supply | based in Britain, France and Italy have continued {now for more than two weeks on an unprecedented | scale. Their aim is to deny to Germany, in large | measure, the advantage of central position. The \smkes of the heavy bombers are aimed at paralyzing | nerve centers, both of production and of transport, |as well as the destruction of diminishing stocks .of | fuel and munitions.. The strikes of the tactical air forces show a developing pattern of sealing off elements of armies in the fiéld and setting up zones of interdiction through which those armies cannot receive needed supply and reinforcement. Cutting of railway lines by destruction of tracks and bridges is a job that must be repeated again and again. However, the effect of this sort of attack is cumulative. Materials and men must be moved to the point of damage. This takes time. And time is of the NEW HORRORS The destructive implements of this war have in- creased in effectiveness frightfully since the conflict began. It will be remembered the horror which was evoked by the first wholesale' use of aerial bombs. The experience of Barcelona was a foretaste what was to be expected, and many people concluded that war- fare had reached a peak in frightfulness. They were mostly 100-pound bombs which German, Italian and Spanish airmen showered on Barcelona—puny things indeed in comparison with what was to come. Then came the fire-bomb attack upon London, interlarded with heavy high explosive bombs. That seemed to epitomize the development of air-borne de- struction. And that, too, is rendered puny in com- parison with what we have today. There is the almost inconceivable violence of the German rocket bombs, which strike with an obliterat- ing blast anywhere at almost any time—before they are heard or seen. They travel faster than sound, trying to stretch his too-thin forces to protect a long line under attack by stronger and better supplied in- vaders. The damage to rolling stock, both rail and highway, has not the quickly reparable quality of damage to tracks, yards and culverts. Locomotives, tank cars, fuel trucks and the other implements of transport can only be replaced, if at all, comparatively slowly and with immense and growing effort in the present state of Germany. Airpower even to the extent of the complete dominance which we now exercise in Europe, has shown that it cannot entirely prevent stubborn and dangerous resistance by determined troops. On the there is no warning, only the terrific explosion at theirl other hand, it is demonstrating more clearly than impact. The new rocket bombs create an eerie screech | ever before that, having destroyed enemy airpower, which is audible only after their blast—it is the sound | it can disrupt his transport, sap his production, of their descent from the stratosphere back into the deplete his stores and isolate his armies from support. ;less weapon, the Allies, too, have greatly increased their striking power. There could be no more graphic | & illustration of this than the 22,000-pound bomb which the Royal Air Force now is using on selected targets Considering the ‘ And, unlike the new big rocket bombs of the | civilization could not survive a third world war.

Witness the Honorable George F. Alexander, Judge of the U. S.

All Territorial offices and local banks were to observe the day. Schools were not to close, however. The Douglas Eagles planned initiation of a large class of candidates on March 30. Senator Forest J. Hunt was enroute from Seattle to mkg his place in the Legislature following a serious illness. ! The Martha Society of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church an- nounced payment of $1,000 on a note, the remaining amount for the purchase of the Heid property adjotning the church property. Registation was proceeding slowly at Douglas and not a filing had been made for offices at the coming city election. A. Van Mavern, J. S. Jeffrey and L. M. Carrigan, traveling men, left on the Estebeth for Sitka. Owing to the prevalency of smallpox at Vancouver, B. C., passengers arriving in Juneau from the South on Canadian vessels were to be vac- cinated prior to being allowed to land. Approximately $160 was realized the previous night at the Parent- Teacher Association dance toward a fund to send Juneau Public School contestants to the Inter-School Meet at Ketchikan.

HENRY MEYERS as a paid-up subscriver to THE DAILY ALASKA general. McNarney is now Deputy | Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediterranean area. As Deputy Chief of Staff until a| few months ago, McNarney suc-' ceeded, in his frequent appearances before the committee, in winniugi the dislike of nearly all members. They didn’t care for his person-" ality and never had much respect | for his ability. They remembered | particularly the time during the last Congress when Senators O'Mahoney, Chandler and Bridges ! went to the War Department to| find out about the Army's plan to destroy a huge file of complaints | brought against officers named for | ypromotion. Not all members are certain that tnere was anything wrong with the Army’s plan, but all remember that they didn't care for McNarney's reception of the three Senators Finally it was agreed that Gen. Marshall should be brought to ap- pear before the committee before it acted on any of the nominations. Disgusted with the whole proced- ure, Senator Chandler declared: “So far as I am concerned, I will support a bill to permit Marshall to promote anyone he wants without Senate confirmation. We're just supposed to be here as a rubber stamp, 1 guess.’ Note—Gen. Marshall, in a super- secret session later in the week, ex- rlained his passing over Patton,' Patch, Hodges and Simpson by pointing out that they, were all subordinate to Bradley and Devers. Krueger, he explained, is subordi- nate to MacArthur, who is a five- star general. Thus, Krueger's rank will not be as high as that of his superior, just as Bra and Devers will outrank the generals under them if their promotion is approved, but will be ranked in turn by Eisenhower. Marshall was put through a long grilling on McNar- ney, who once established the rule that no colonels, no matter how well trained, could go overseas for organization.. Anyway, UNRRA has issued a confidential but emphatic order that no supplies shall be purchased from Spain. This is in direct con- | flict with the State Department, which not only sanctions the pur-} chase of goods from Spain, but, | much more important, gives export | licenses for the shinment of pre- ious oil and gasoline to Spain without which the Franco Govern- ment would fall overnight. UNRRA's position was made clear | when it was urged to buy 2,000,000 | wool blankets from Spain. Gover-| nor Lehman and staff then issued | the following order: 1 “The question of purchasing re- lef supplies from neutral countries arose on several occasions, lately| through European Regional Office requests for authority to purchase 2,000,000 wool blankets from Spain. It is the view of the Bureau of Areas that since the Government of Spain is known to be pro-Axis, there should not be any UNRRA procurement in Spain.” A Note—Nazi troops still holding seven vital French ports and ham- rering the landing of U. S. supplies in France have managed to hold | out, partly through supplies smug- | gled in by Franco's ships Six of these ships were sunk by the Al-| lies recently.
