Defending the Nnsl onslaught on the English town, the former Nazi air chieftain said "I wao very happy Coventry hud been selected, because here was a target not for a terror attack but an important military objective" Kexeelrlng readily accepted responsibility for the Rotterdam raid as air chief In Holland at the time. He said the bombing was carried out “according to plan and time, and to our knowledge everything was complete." He said the raid had tieen planned to coincide with armMtk-e negotiations between the Nazi and Dutch, and the fact that it occurred after the city capitulated was "ieally an accident of war."

Says Alert Air Arm Vital To Security Sooatz Outlines New Organization Plans

Washington. March 12.—<UPl— Gen. Carl Sjtantz. m-w commander of the army air forces, today said that an adequate, alert peacetime air arm having -qual status with the ground and navy service lx this nation's best Insurance against surprise attack The atomic bomb has no In creased the effectiveness of milltarjr air power, he said, that "any future conflict will h gin w-|th air action and may well be concluded by ft." In a statement on the policies of the peacetime air forces, he outlined a n- w organization of three combat air commands—strategic, defensive and tactical. The strategic air command will comprise the combat groups of the long range striking forces. The ah defenx- command will "be responsible for the air defense of the continental United States and for the coordination of the continental air units" including the air national guard and air reserve. The tactical air command "will lx- chaiged with cooperative missions with the sti face forces." Spaatz preferred on unified military department with the air. ground and navy forces having equal standing. If this is not effected. be said, theie must b< crated an air department parallel to the present war and navy d- paitmentx. The reoi ganiMtlon provides for an air university to function di-, rxctly under Spaatz. The university will provide formal schooling of all air forces oilicers It will give professional training in subjects, more advanced than studied by offi< era when they were acquiring their primary military specialties' or ratinas. Hi« peacetim- organization plan envisaged combat air groups stationed ..n advanced stretegic bases where they "can be poised well within reach of th war potential of any j«>s-lb|e enemy." "It Is extremely unlikely." Spaatz said, "that the United States ever again will have time to prepare for war after war art-' ually begins. "Any future attack almost certainly will come from the air. The best insurance against unannounced aerial attack la an adequate. alert air for<-e-ls-being." He added that the "army air forces can discharge ha responsi'hllitie* . . . most effectively . . only If It Is granted full parity and status with the ground and naval amvices." The misslnn of the army a.r forces ir< p acetime. Spna'z said "Is to develop and to mainta'n a military air force capable of immediate. sustained and expanding application of the accepted American doctrine of milpary air power.'* S3OO Judgment Is Awarded In Suit Craig B.

March 12 — (UPI —Secretary of Commerce Henry A Wallace today dismissed tears that British buying under the proposed 83.750.000.e<)0 I’. S. loan would create acute shortages of essential gcMMls in this country. Urging approval of the loan to speed world economic recovery.

He said that British and other foreign requirements for scarce American goods. Including meats and grains, may total 13.791.000.rt'O this year. He gave assurances however, that allocation and export regulations would be continued to "protect our domestic economy." , "I feel sure that the inflationary tendencies which might result from this situation will be negligible.” Wallace sain in reply to those who charge the loan will contribute to inflation Describing the loan as necessary to safer uard the political peace of the world, he said: "In this atomic age. when civilization Itself would be destroyed by another war, danger tc- world peace arising out of economic dislocation cannot be tolerated,” Meanwhile, former British Prime Minister Wlngton <’hu| chill, who asked members of the Conservative party to obstain ■ from voting on the loan when it 1 was before Parliament, clarified his position on the proposed ai greemeFit. Churchill said that while there were some points In It to which ihe objected personally, he thought It Important that It go through, not only in the- interests of Britain and the United States i but also of the economic recovery , ot the world. Parliament already I has approved the loan. Wallace said if the loan is apj proved, British purchases here this year cannot exceed 11.125.Mo.noA. On the liaxis of British representations during the negotiations. Wallace said, about onethird of the requirements would be in scarcer items such as meats, fats, grains, naval stores, lumber, wood pulp and steel products. The other two thirds, he said, would lie for Items in easy supply. He listed as examples tobacco, cotton, petroleum, crude synthetic rubber, machine tools and certain chemicals. ... ■—-o i Probing Breakin At Park Shelter House 1 Police Chief Ed Miller today i opened an Investigatb-n Into a ! hreakin al the shelter house tn , Hanne-Nuttman park, reported to have lieen perpet.ated recently.

"W<- who are living now." said the 74-year-old former secretary of state, "must not allow the human race to commit suicide through lack of vision or through selfishness. Impatience or provocation." He offered a flvepoint program to all nations. Including the I nlted States, for overcoming the "spirit <>f Impatience" which Is the natural outgrowth of war , fatigue: 1. Examine with sympathy and , patience the views of others. 2. Ascertain the true facts. 3. Avoid the assumption of adamant position* 4. Refrain from exaggerating and over-emphasizing one's own claims.. 5. Refrain from making an appeal to prejudice. This program, proposed by (he man who conducted American Re- ; iatlunx with the Soviet Union dur- , ing the difficult days of war. wax a sharp contrast to recent ones by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes. Sen. Arthur H. Vanden berg. R, Mich. UNO delegate John Foster Dulles, and other Americans.
