From Eneniy Ait Attack BOSTON L’P — Tjie Unite* States could protect itseß from enemy air attack with a reliable air raid warning system for the bargain price of 370 million dollars it was disclosed today. The figure, together with at. estimated annual upkeep cost of 190 million dollars, was far below previous unofficial estimates. The new plan wias described as "surefire’’ by Dr. Lloyd V. Berk ner, director of Associated Universities, Inc., a non-profit organization of nine eastern colleges under contract with the atomic energy commission to operate the government - owned <Brookhaven Laboratory on Leng Island, N.Y. Berkner said the most effective way to stop or ; break up an enemy’s aerial attacking force wis to utilize the geographic space between a distant warning line, near the enemy boundary line, and th.target area. He said, the “probability of success" of an enemy air attack would be enormously reduced if the enemy wdre forced to pass a series of defenses of different kinds. By combining both old and new defense methods the invader’s tactical situation would become very complicated. Berkner said the U.S. now knows how to obtain a warning of an attack when enemy planes are si: hours from our boundaries in all directions. He said there was .10 reason why such a system could not be in operation within two years. v —— ■—‘*- Foft Wdyne Komets Back Home Saturday FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The high-scoring Toledo Mercurys are next on the home schedule for the Jfort Wayne komets, who return to their home ice at the Coliseum here Saturday night.
