Arnold, head of the army air forces, believes that continued bombing of Japan will pay even greater dividends than bombing of Germany, for Japan lacks the facilities to repair bombed installations that Ger many has had. At a press conference late yes terday. Gen. Arnold said he didn't have the answer to the question of can Japan be bombed to defeat. But the great aerial offensive against the concen trated Industries of Japan will not be in full swing until more B-29s are completed, he said. There are two schools of thought among scientists regard ing the possibility of German rockets screeching across the At lantic, he said. One believes it is possible, the other says it can't be done. General Arnold cautioned that America has let down a bit since the allies' push across France, The Germans were able to re form their defense lines when the allies outstretched their sup ply, lines, he said, and many Americans are still coasting, on the illusion that was created by the first spectacular victories. , Washington, Dec. . 12 U.B The United States government believes that establishment of a free and democratic Jewish com monwealth in Palestine should await the end of the war. - a 17 he 0NARC a'' tM otbor MONARCH FOODg-all Jnt M OMi mmmtumi CONVERSATION HEARING AID Based m U.S. Gov't Flndhifs 3 SUPERB VACUUM TUBE MODELS NIWtOWNKtS Start at hMfaNHnfl Cuif w "V A B fl IwauM mr im f f U3U 79! f t Unffffcoffy fltfd to your Individual nooo Call or phone for frets demon tratiun or tend for freo book.
