Air Power "I ET'S build for genuine Air Power with the warn iners written big as life on the skies over this war," Maj. Alexander P. de of airplanes, declares in an article in the current issue of Flying and Popular Aviation magazine in which he outlines ten vital air power lessons for America based on the present conflict. The aviation expert charges that "with the second world war nearing the end of its second year, the United States has not fully recognized the new weapon Air Power and its implications for America's defense program." Explaining that we build two-ocean navies in about the 6ame spirit that France built its frontier fortifications, without reference to the new dimension of modern warfare, Maj. de Seversky, a strong advocator for a separate American air force, asserts that "not only do our air defenses remain inadequate and technically backward, but we continue to divide them between the Army and Navy each of which treats aviation as a mere adjunct or extension of its own organization." fJI AJ. DE SEVERSKY, who just before the outbreak of war made a futile effort to sell to France "the kind of warplanes which might have possibly saved the country," says that "before we speak too harshly of the blindness and inertia of France, let us take a good look at ourselves." Summing up the ten chief aviation lessons of the war to date, Maj. de Seversky claims that: (1) Neither land nor sea operations are any longer possible against an adversary possessing air power, without first assuming control of the skies. (2) Navies have lost their former function of THE STRATEGIC OFFENSIVE. Hereafter the strategic offensive rests with air power. Only after aviation has established control can fleets attempt to follow it up with any real (6) As a consequence of this second "lesson we have the third.

William Brady, tdS CI Camlno, Baytrly HI lit, Calif. YOUTH IS BETTER TODA Three times as many men have I been rejected as unfit for army service because of defective teeth hi un " I as in the tests of 1917. This is the conclu sion drawn from an analy s i s of nearly ten thousand rejection r e -porta from a thourand in duction boards throughout the nine corps areas of the country. This poor showing in the conservation of the teeth is, In my opinion, fur ther evidence of the childishness of the slogan supported or ac cepted by so many dentists, that a "clean tooth never decays." The harm Is not from the use of toothbrush or dentrifice but from the impression created in the mind of the victim of such bad education that general nu trition, the real fundamental fac tor, is of minor importance, and that frequent inspection and treatment and advice by the dcnti.st is secondary to the choice and method of use of a denti frice. Although the teeth of young men are not so good in 1941 as were the teeth of young men in 1917, youth today is superior in phsical condition to youth of a generation ago. Nearly three times as many of the young men of 1917 had lung ailments as the young men now coming up for examination. Heart defects in 1917 accounted for 13.7 per cent of rejections, in 1941 for only 6.5 per cent. Diseases or defects of bones and muscles were found in 10.3 per cent of a group of 52,818 rejections in 1917, but in only 4.4 per cent of the young men being examined today. Even defects of the feet were nearly twice as frequent in 1917 as they are today. In only one respect do the young men today apparently fall below the stand ard of young manhood in 1917, and that is a greater prevalence of venereal disease, but this is probably attributable to more thorough tests today. For in stance, there was no Wasserman test in 1917, and this is routine today. The facts seem to belie the gloomy idea conceived by some prophets that civilized man is degenerating. In previous ar ticles In this column statistics have been cited indicating that young women are better devel oped physically and better qual ified for marriage and for moth- THE CAPITAL PARADE Br JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT K1NTNER (Continue Prom Page One mand, that to delay further was to court disaster.

The little people of Britain, who do not know the facts, may be ready to fight on. Winston Churchill, who knows the facts but prefers suicide to surrender, will certainly wish to fight on. But the British equivalent of the French men of Vichy will crawl out of the political wood work.

THAI Wl AT Is what Ambassador Inant came here to tell the president, and what he now has told the president. Nor is he alone in holding this dark view. Virtually all the presi- dent's competent advisers, both ;on high policy .nd on technical military and naval matters, have been urging the same view on him for many wpeks. A single dissent from it. by a man in an important position would be hard to find at the state, war or navy department. Among the men here who know how matters stand, the sense of ur gency is reaching the point of desperation. In his distress over the inac- ins nu-si'KP 10 inr naiii.n a the president sketched in most of the facts of the war j situation, but failed to announce action or declare it must be taken promptly.

ICellT Washington, D. C, June 11. Pulp and paper mills in Oregon have run up against the war with a bang. The federal gov ernment, which regards the busi ness of paper making as essen tial, Is reducing the amount of sulphur required in the mills by the confiscation of sulphur car rying vessels. In alarm, the pulp and paper Industry has tele graphed to Oregon's Senator Mc Nary as It sees in prospect re duction In employment, produc tion and. eventually, a shut down. The senator has not re ceived much satisfaction, either: has been told things will get worse. Union Sulphur Co., whose ships bring sulphur for the pulp mills, had a fleet of four vessels but the United States maritime commission reached out and took the two largest ships, amount ing to 65 per cent of the tonnage. It wouldn't be so bad, explain the mill operators, if the commis sion had taken one vessel for then the mills could hobble along, but to deprive them of so much tonnage is a serious blow. TAKING the Union Sulphur Co. boats, states Admiral I.jnd, chairman of the commission, is necessary if the United States is to assist the British. There will be, he predicts, further cur tailment of tonnage. The com- "" ', "". ""a;! ., , ,, j cargocs they shall carry and what routes they must use; is preparing to shift some ships from the Atlantic and Gulf to the Pacific. There are not enough ships to go around, ob serves the chairman, to take care of the normal tonnage. An arrangement has been made with the British to take over the British Columbia busi ness out of Victoria and Van- S T anHenTSStX! service to the orient, using i American flagships and thereby i releasing the British Columbia boats for service betweenthe At- lantic coast and England carry- ing munitions. This arrange- ment will require at least , dozen American vessels now j operating elsewhere. The ships carrying sulphur to the Oregon! mills are being tossed into the " aVV'1 rap,dly.as- av.wu.cu war work. Several ships out of Columbia river are to be dis- patched to the Red sea and Per - sian gulf with munitions, going across the Pacific to reach their destination.

There Is considerable concern over the vulnerability of the dams, power houses and Ir ; rigation canals in the west where j the government has an invest ment of $800,000,000. People are living below the reservoirs and there are indus tries using power, and a break in a dam, particularly, would be very destructive.

Flood lights make the plant as bright as day. These guards are at every substation.
