If an offensive force were to obtain complete mastery of the air, the slaughter and damage might even exceed the pre-war predictions. But, when attacking aviators are met by a powerful defense, a quick limit of destructive possibilities seems to be reached. Indeed, when battles are fought under this condition, the airplane might perhaps be called the most humane implement of war that science has invented, from the standpoint of resultant casualties. |

REORGANIZATION OF AIR CORPS PUSHED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (U.

TAGE

I Watched Them’

By NED RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent V ITH AN ANTI-AIRCRAFT BATTERY, SOUTHEAST ENGLAND, Sept. 7—Young men behind Britain's coastal anti-air-craft batteries look death in the face day after day as German raiders roar across the Channel from France to smash at vital south coast naval bases. They are the first line of defense against Adolf Hitler's massed aerial offensive. They are credited with shooting down 61 Germage planes between Aug. 30 and Sept. 5.

Using big but delicate precision instruments and powerful guns, thsee men have helped the Royal Air Force break up repeated German attempis to bomb this naval yard and town into ruins. Together with their “anti” comrades throughout Britain they have shot down scores of planes in the most violent air offensives the world has ever seen. And they have kept countless raiders too high above their targets for effective aim, keeping them high for the R. A. F.

I just spent two nights with two batteries here, sharing their ceaseless, nervous watch for raiders. One of the batteries claims a scare of 20 planes shot down. I watched them operate, maneuver their heavy guns. jab their searchlights into the night sky seeking planes and following their progress on maps.

Two R. A. F. officers join Diana Ward. American entertainer, in a bit of close harmony at a London night club. British censor emphasizes London's gay night life, despite constant air raids.

Also, many of the aids of the old organization are on the sidelines.

I Found Chaos’

By DAN CAMPBELL United Press Staff Correspondent ONDON, Sept. 7.—Death from Nazi airplanes crashed into the narrow streets of a working class district of southeast London during the night, not far from the famous Elephant and Castle Pub.

Three high explosive screamer bombs struck the district. wrecked tenements, a factory and a garage. I passed through the area soon afterward. Police were warning all pedestrians against time bombs, two of which already had been found. Searchlights were still on and anti- aircraft guns were firing. Tenement dwellers were being herded out of the danger zone, Relatives of many of them were on the all-night shift in tha wrecked factory, and wives, sweethearts and mothers refused to leave until they had received news. Air raid precautions workers were still digging in debris for bodies. An aged man cried repeatedly as he was taken away in an ambulance: “My sons! My sons!” The rescue workers found an 80-year-old woman, uninjured, ting on top of a pile of debris, unable to talk, Given a restorative, she said: “Where is my dog Scottie?” I found the people in such chaos that they could not answer questions coherently, They were wandering from corner to corner of their area, which had been cordoned off.
