Indeed, he thinks he Toresees exactly how his “constant tactical factor” may work in the case of the atem bombs. If, he argues, -“it is possible to destroy every structural and living thing resting on a plane surface of four square miles, it is equally possible to destroy every flying thing in a cubic space of 16 square miles. This means that if the atomic bomb is used as an air depth charge, all aircraft in these spaces will be destroyed.” | This would apply also in case of atomic bombs that might be sent as rockets instead of in man- ® pilcted planes, even though the speed of the rockets Aluska Newspapers, 1411 EF A Bidg., Seattle Waah CHARGE I TR With the aid of radio locators, the general thinks, islature from the Third means should be found to pin-point the positions of Govenor of Alaska with using the atomic rockets in space and to destroy them with a Territorial Guard for political purposes. atomic coutner-rockets.

M. Callaway, Beaumont, ‘ Texas—"I noted with interest your | statement that Gen. William H.| Tunner has given an order to stop live in a country like this, where a man in your position can turn the spotlicht on glaring failure of | some officials and get some action. However, this order came about three weeks too late for the Calla- way family, as our brother was killed on the 7th flying the Hump. You will note from the enclosed vhotostat of his last letter that Gen. Tunner gave the order that they were not to carry parachutes on their plane. You will also note that the general had parachutes| on his personal plane.” H The letter from the late Pvt.| Willis E. Callaway read: “Gen Tunner has put out an order that no plane flying the Hump with in- tentions of bringing passengers back (from China) will carry para- chutes. We have enough chutes at B-pore (Barrackspore) to fly every cne out of China, but they are to vemain in a neat pile. I have seen the General's plane. He carries enough chutes for his crew.” (Calla- way was killed in a crash flying from Barrackspore to Kunming, China, on Oct. 7—nine days after he wrote this letter. - R DOCTORS MARK TIME An Army Doctor in Germany— “We have a station hospital here of about 1,000-bed capacity. We run about 200 patients, including our soldiers, UNRRA, German civi- lians, etc. We have here 22 doctors, 16 M.AC,, 1 Sani. Corps, 60 nu 350 enlisted men, 300 civilian work- ers, and 400 German prisoners. We {have a force of at least 1,000 to 1,200 people to look after 200 pa- tients—about 5 employed for each patient.
