WASHINGTON, June 6 W)
Enthusiastic American airmen,
hailing Britain'! massive bomb
ing attack! on Germany aa a
demonttratlon of tho true mean
lnf of aerial warfare, predicted
today that the growing might
of British-American air forcea
could reduce the narls to virtu
al military Impotence without
the opening of a aecond front
on the continent.
The flaming devastation
dropped on Cologne and Essen,
theae exports aald, were only
the preliminary to a campaign
of strategical bombing which
could cripple th German war
machine without the aid of
land assaults,
Military men holding more
traditional concepts of warfnre
did not go nearly ao far In their
, appraisal of rosulta, although
. they agreed that attainment of
nmt Immediate objectives by
the use of air power alone was
entirely feasible. Mainly, theae
were: ' .
1. Some relief of pressure on
the Russian front by diverting
luftwaffe strength to the pro
tection of Industrial cities.
2. Destruction of industrial
enters, such ss ths great gun
work! at Essen and the metal
plants at Cologne, so as to make
It Increasingly difficult for the
nails to replace their front lino
war machines.
Beyond these objective, the
ories aa to how to conquer Ger
many are split between those
' who claim that American and
British air power can do the
whole job and the more tradi
tional strategists who see It as
an undertaking for cooperating
ir and ground forces. ,
The airmen argue that if the
Job to left to them the ground
forces need move in against
little more than nominal re
ei stance. This weakening of the
nemy, they say, can be done
by strategical bombing which
they describe as an entirely
aw method of attack that the

Germans only approached In
their assault on England in the
fall and winter of 1940-41.
As authoritatively described,
the method works like this:
Suppose It is decided to in
terrupt enemy production of
heavy bombers. Plants In which
bomber parts are made and as
sembled are plotted and the
most vulnerable point in the
construction process Is deter
mined. Perhaps It Is found that
only four plants mako under
carriages. These are selected for
attack, and either damaged or
destroyed.
Since bombers cannot fly
without landing gear the enemy
must either repair or rebuild
the plants before his production
lines can roll again. Slmllarly
devastatlrtg raids may be con
centrated on oil ' refineries,
storage tanks and warehouses,
shipping centers and railway
yards. .
DAY-LONO RAINBOWS
In Siberia, a rainbow may
sometimes be seen all day long
In a cloudless sky. This Is said to
be due to the reflection of the
sun on fine particles of snow In
the air.
