1,000-Miles-an-Hour Planes Foreseen
'
Spaatz Is For Peacetime Conscription
ST. GERMAINE, France, June
28 (UP) Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, a
four-slur flier who directed the
American air assault on Africa,
Italy and Germany, said today it
is not unreasonable lo believe
that planes will reach a speed ol
1,000 miles an hour in the next
25 years.
Spaatz thoughtfully considers
such factors in what the war in
the future if any could be and
says he bclicws the United
States should adopt peace-time
compulsory military training. But
like many professional American
military men, Spaatz wants it
understood that he'doos not be
lieve compulsory military train-
I inif should hn mivprl im wit), imvr
other kind of cducutinn.
No Schooling Tie-in
"I would attach a string to
compulsory military training,"
Spaatz said. "My siring would
be that the military training
should have nothing whatever to
do with the education of our
youth other than in strictly mili
tary matters. v
All the other education of our
young men is nnd should be the
responsibility and the privilege
of civilian schools and civilian in
structors. On that basis, 1 be
lieve military training should be
compulsory for all physically fit
young men. It should be for a
period of onq year. But there
should be no indoctrination of
any kind execept in military suL
jects. I wouldn't even teach
reading and writing and I would
bar illiterates from the military
training coursb."
Spantz commands the United
Slates strategic .air force in Eu
rope, known for short as USSTAF
and sometimes us the Spaatz
waffe. His 533,000 men and 5,700
planes licked the luftwaffc, co
operated with ground troops and
reduced selected parts of Ger
many's industry to fantastic ruins.
It was Spaatz' plan and Spaatz'
planes which wrecked Germany's
oil industry. When Germany had
no more oil she no longer could
fight.
Havoc Awos Warrior
Spaatz bombers created awe
some havoc in Germany. After
seeing some of it Spaatz said ho
guessed he wouldn't look at it
any more. It is a shocking thing
to see but it would look consider
ably worse against an American
landscape than against the back-

"The United States is not yet
within reach of an air attack on
a city demolition scale," Spaatz
told the United Press in discuss

"But 10 or 20 years from now the

bombers from Europe to the

not be longer than the flights we
have been making to Berlin and
t.ac't.
"In the last war the fastest
plane could make 130-1-1(1 miles
an hour. (Spaatz then was a fight
er pilot and flew a Spad.) At the
beginning of this war our fastest
ships could do 300 miles an hour.
