Ritz Brothers In Hillbilly Roles b3 EXPERTS CALL 1 OFFENSIVE By Weld on James , . (United Press Staff Correspondent) CANTON (UP) Experience of the Japanese air force, particularly In South China, again has shown that aerial bombing Is a greatly over rated offensive weapon in modern warfare. That la the conclusion of every one of several foreign military ob servers, both official and unofficial. Interviewed by the United Press here. In the heart of a section bombed Incessantly for more than eight months. "In the South China campaign as well as throughout China, there are three facts made clearer than ever," one observer declared. "They are ( 1 ) bombing as an offensive weapon has been, highly over-rated not only in the Sunday supplements but by air force of V ficlals as well; (2) temporary de 1 rangement of communication lines and traffic facilities Is the net re sult of thousands of bombs drop ped In this area, Indicating that permanent destruction by aerial bombing alone is impossible: (3) Instead of demoralizing the civilian population, bombing definitely in tensifies the spirit of resistance." Continuing, the same observer de clared that "the chief objective of the Japanese air force In this area has been to destroy communications between Hong Kong, Canton and i PRESCRIPTIONS Just lately Heath's Drug Store has opened for the public's Inspection the space In which all the prescrip tions are filled.

As entertainers In Brooklyn, the three boys find themselves Just an other trio of hams. But when they hike on down to the corn likker country, and become as hillbilly as any moonshiner who aver pegged off a revenue agent, the Ritzea discover "gold In them thar hills," particular ly when a radio talent scout Is scour ing the country for an "honest-to -gosh" hillbilly act to put on the air.

Hankow but what have they done? In bombing virtually undefended lines the best results to date have been stopping traffic on the Canton Hankow railway for three days, on the Canton-Kowloon for two." In other respects, observers agreed, the air force has been of Incalculable value to the Japanese: (1) for long range tactical observation, as an auxiliary arm of the army. (2) in reconnolterlng for combat purposes, as an Independent fighting unit, (3) for local technical observation In directing artillery fire, and (4) for further demoralizing retreating Chinese troops by machine gunning and bombing simultaneously with the advance of the Japanese in fantry.
