Britain Maps New Aerial Strokes With Warplanes From U.S.'
- u. .. . ...
BIG SKY WAR
TO BE AIMED !
AT ITALIANS
New Huge Bombers
To Be Used Against
Berlin In Regular
‘Ferry Service’
LONDON —Embattled Brit-
ain. neartened by her king's report
of increasing war aid from the
United States mrpped new aerial
strikes against Germany and Italy
Friday.
K*ng George VI in opening a new
••asior. of parliament Thursday de-
clared munitions and supplies from
the United States were arriving in
“eve.- Increasing volume”; and the |
Royal Air Force left little doubt
that 2* powerful bombers originally
ordered by the U. 8 armv and be-
ing made available for British pur-
chase would be in the van of new-
loreys against the Axis.
••They're The Babies"
RAF officers said the big four-
motored craft ako might be used
for the inghtly bombing “ferry
•mice” to Berlin and added that
all *he signs point tc an early op-
ening of widespread air war on It-
aly with the comment that the
American-made ships "are the
babies to do it with."
The king in a message officially
proroguing the old parliament Wed-
nesday and in an address opening
the new session Thursday em-
phasized his satisfaction over U. 8.
aid to Britain and added that rela-
tions “could not be more cordial."
He declared the British empire
would keep on fighting "until free-
dom is made scare"
Weather Bad
Official sources in London said
Friday that all British bomber op-
eiations scheduled for Thursday
night were cancelled hecause of
"unfavorable weather conditions”
Bases at Lorient. Cherbourg.
Dunkerque and Ostenri were said to
have been attacked Wednesday i
night as well as the great German
Inland port of Dukburg-Ruhrort
The air minktrv news service said
the latter attack "must inevitably
have disorganize*; essential traffic
and destroyed indispensable raw-
materials"
Victories In Africa
The ministry also reported air
victories in Africa and Albania. Ten
Italian planes of a formation of 60
were said to have been shot down
without a British loss in an air
tight over eastern Libva. In Al-
bania the R*F blasted Hangars at

Texas Business
Heading Upward
AUSTIN — m — While national j
defense booms national industry !
and commerce. Texas is still gen-
erating its own steam as yet un-
ftred by defense expaasion. Uni-
versity of Texas business experts
declare.
Pointing out that Texas habitual-
ly is slow to feel the business
stimuli which originate in the
North and East they say the
August and September business up-
swing in Texas is “natural” and
that when the full wave of defense
activity docs hit Texas it will build
on top of an already high business
level There arc many local booms
however already in evidence al-
though their statewide reprecusstons
are not yet fully felt.
Bureau officials citing the in-
creased tempo of business activity
in Texas predict a continued up-
ward trend during the remainder of
1940 and early 1941. due to (1>
strengthening farm prlres. and <21
Increasing marketings of a number
of important farm products of
which Texas has h gp surpluses
both resulting from increasing In-
dustrial activity in the North and
East; <3* growing Texas industrial
payrolls; and <4* federal disburse-
ments in connection with the na-
tional defease program.

• STORIES
IN STAMPS
Knights of Middle Ages
Were Not So Chivalrous
j^OMANTIC writers have creat-
ed a glamorous picture of the
Middle Age era when knighthood
was at the height of its glory.
Danzig now part of greater Ger-
many has used three knights in
full armor in the design of the
stamp above one of a series cele-
brating the reunion of Danzig and
Prussia.
History 13 not so kind to the age
of chivalry as novelists. War was
a bloody business then as now
and the knights were little more
than a glorified standing army
generally looking for trouble and
finding it.
While the knightly code at-
tempted to make religion a greater
force in daily life the later Puri-
tans succeeded better. Women
were supposed to be held in high
regard; actually modem men have
more consideration of women than
the heroes of the Round Table.
The educated classes of 1940 far
surpass the average medieval
knight in discipline self-control
and personal refinement

VAST ARMADA
OF AIRPLANES
i
Corpus Big Factor In
Training Personnel;
$60000000 to Aid
Plane Factories
By W. B. RAGSDALE
WASHINGTON —<**>— Airplanes
(■ re the eyes of the modern navx and
their glance can be deadly.
For they not only spy out the
enemy but they drop bombs on him
and dive down to set torpedoes
chafing his ships.
The United States navy has 1.813
lseful planes on hand now. expects
to have 4.000 by July and is build-
ing 15.000. It is training 2.500 pilots
a year at Pensacola will more than
double this capacity with new train-
ing centers going up at Corpus
Christ! Jacksonville and Miami.
Sixty million dollars is the share
it is putting into private .plants
to expand their plane building fa-
cilities and to bolster those of the
nan's own airplane factory at
Philadelphia.
The planes will go to the new
bases and air stations in the At-
lantic. Pacific and Caribbean to the
If carriers it has afloat and build-
ing. to the battleships and cruisers
v.hich carry their own detachments
of fliers.
Six Types Used
The navy uses six ty;»es of ser-
vice planes. These are:
1. Patrol bombers which usually
are flying boats to land on water
with * speed of better than 180
miles an hour and a range of more
than 4.000 miles. They do long-
range patrol duty scouting or bomb-
ing. carry two tons of bombs three
to six men. and are armed with
mach ne guns.
2. Torpedo bombers nesting on
destroyers carrying torpedoes and
better than three tons of bombs
‘.earing away at a speed of more
than 200 miles an hour with a
; range of 1.000 miles. This was the
general type of plane with which
the navy originated dive bombing
long before the Germans practiced
it.
3. Scout observation planes work-
ing from battleships or cruisers.
I tour to a ship flung from the decks
i by catapults having a 1.000-mile
I'ange and speed of 160 miles an
hour and up They usually are sea-
1 planes which land on the water and
are hoisted back into their berths
| by cranes.
4. Fighter planes fastest In the
t navy with a speed of 250 miles an
hour and going up in newer models.
! with multiple machine guns flown
and fought by one man. to protect
| their own bombers and observation
I planes and drive away those of
'he enemy; secondary objective is
; to svoop down through anti-aircraft
fire tnd rake the fighting tops and
rtecU of enemy craft with machine
?uns.
Scouters Important
8 Scout bombers with the dou-
ble duty of finding the enemy and
blowing him out of the water de-
| : .7ned for dive bombing carry one
1.000-pound bomb at a speed of
better than 250 miles an hour have
auxiliary gas tanks to get a 1.000
mih range
6. Workaday utility transports
i hauling material and personnel from
carriers tenders and shore bases;
may he sea or land planes or fly-
ing boats but always with a good
lot.' capacity.
In addition to these there are
tht fairly simple unarmed train-
ing planes m which flying cadets
ere Uught.
The navy never has wasted much
1 armor on its planes figuring that
it adds too much weight and does
not nelp fighting power.
Its planes carry bombs ranging
m size from 25 pounds to two tons.
The flying decks of aircraft car-
riers are as much as 850 feet long
and 90 feet wide. Almost invariably
they cover the length and width of
the ship. Huge elevators bring up
the Dianes from their berths on the
hangar deck below. Carrier crew$
«lde themselves on the speed with
I * hich they can get their planes
aloft a pride that brings on races
in maneuvers.
Ships Are Ports
I Circling back to its floating land-
ng field a plane drops down upon
'he deck Into the clutches of an ar-
resting gear which will halt the
plane in less than a hundred feet.
I This consists of wires stretched
across the deck which are snagged
by hooks hung from beneath the
I plane.
| The carriers have a complement
of 80 planes each with a larger ca-
! paclty being given in the new ships
and bv modernization of the older
ones.
Virtually all planes are equipped
j these days with two-way radio and
most of them with automatic pilot
devices.
It cists 122 71 an hour to keep
the ships in the air on their neu-
! trality patrols from bases in the
Pacific the Caribbean and the At-
lantic. And this is exclusive of per-
sonnel or repair bills. A history
| card Is kept on each plane and every
I ro often it shows up in the shops
tor a going over.
Now and then an accident de-
i plops from so small a thing as

*M*»»»*» ■»»»»»»«(
By FRED VANDERSCHMIDT
King and prime minister of Brit-
ain laid stress in their speeches to
the new parliament on the two-
ways—and there appear now to be
only two—in which Britain can win
this war.
The first was the effort to obtain
mechanical superiority over the
4xis in large measure a matter of
American supplies. The second was
the necessity lor a British victory m
Africa.
Dark Days
It would be foolish to pretend
that these are not dark days lor
Britain; days of gigantic need. At
home under the constant siege of
ship and shore. It is vital that the
British grow stronger every day in
p'anes guns and men o’war. The
forays of the R AF. already im-
pressive. must increase steadily in
scope and power. The U-boat must
be beaten at sea there must be a
better defense against the droves of
t'lanes that fly by night to strike
at the war industries of the king-
dom.
Need Offensive Army
Indeed that will not be enough.
Winston Churchill has been frank
about it: Britain must have a bet-
ter equipped army than that of the
Axis for the offensive campaigns
that must be fought if Britain is to
break the perilous stalemate that is
last developing. Sooner or later
the British must carry the war back
to the continent or be beaten and
to do this they must have an over-
whelming superiority in the air and
*n the weapons they use on the
rtound—to say nothing of foolproof
protection from the fleet.
No American Men
It may be well now to note that
:he Irish peer. Earl Winterton. only
the other day warned the House
of Commons that It need not ex-
pect American ships or American
mer. to be fighting in any future
campaigns.
It is indeed difficult for the
British to contemplate with any
optimism the prospect of a victor-
‘ous continental offensive for at
least two years. Hence It becomes
all the more important that a deci-
sion be won first somewhere about
Suez somewhere on the shores of
the Mediterranean.

In this sea the British navy still
y supreme. The fleet's successes
against the weakest end of the Axis
Tfalv. and the stroke of luck pro-
vided by the pstonishing fight of
the Greeks against their Italian
Invaders provide the brightest rays
of hope for ultimate victory that
the British have seen in many a
month
But the issue will be fought out
oil land perhaps in several theaters.
Await German Support
The powerful Italian army which
lias invaded Egypt is waiting only
lor concrete German support to
icsurne its desert offensive which
is pointed at Suez. Thus support
may take the form of a German
attack on Gibraltar a German
drive through Turkey and Syria or
both.
The British are numerically in-
terior to the Italians in Egypt; how
much inferior is of course a secret
out it probably Is about the ratio
rf 2 to 3. But empire reinforce-
ments and supplies are proceeding
feverishly to Africa and the British
nay beat the Axis to the punch.
