British Technical Journal Admits Box Barrages Cannot Stop Nazis.

LONDON, Nov. 29 (U. P.).—The authoritative British technical journal, The Aeroplane, today said there was little chance that means would be found of combatting effectively German night air attacks for at iem3; a year and possibly longer. “There is no single technical ‘device which will solve the problem,” Ce mag e declared. “Methods ‘which protected us during the past ~dmmes from all the German batterings .must be adopted to serve some degree at night as well. “The improved detector, ground box barrages and so forth can hinder but never stop the night raider. “What is required is a fighter which afféfds good visibility for the crew above all other things yet which does not sacrifice too much

broadcast warnings for defense against attack. Throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and southern New York, the army has arranged for 650 observation posts, each linked by telephone to head-

‘| quarters at New York and Boston.

Code Number Used

To each post will be assigned from 10 to 20 observers, each with a code name and number, Each post will be responsible for the protection of its immediate area. They will be spaced from four fo six injles apart. The mock siasions are ahned for 10 a. m., until noon, on Jan. 10, and from 6 a. m., until 6 p. m., from Jan. 20 to 23. Once the invasion starts, obseryers will have five seconds in which to flash the alarm to headquarters after the “enemy” planes have been sighted. These reports will bring anti-aircraft artillery into action to beat off the invaders. Meanwhile pursuit ships will go_ aloft to engage the approaching bombers. The air defense command thus outlined the procedure: : “In order to make these advantages of pursuit aviation operative, it is necessary that a means be provided to give both sufficient warning to the pursuit to permit’ its concentration against an attack and to track the course ‘of the oncoming enemy. “Scattered over the ‘test area’ of more than three states there will be established 650 observation posts, each with a commercial telephone available, usually installed in a private house fiearby. They will be located on an rage of about four to six miles apart, which has been

‘found to be about the distance at

which an observer can depend upon seeing or hearing a bombardment plane under normal conditions.

Call Rushed Through

“Having spotted a unit of one or more planes and made his best estimate of the number, type, location and altitude, the observer steps to the telephone and says. ‘Army flash.” The operator then connects him without ‘delay over long distance lines to the Army Information Center, where the information is received and plotted. “Some 10 or 20 observers, including the chief observer, deputy chief observer and watch reliefs, are required for each observation post,”

IREPORTS MERGHANT SHIP USED AS RAIDER

MELBOURNE, Astralia, Nov. 29 (U. P.).—The German sea raider that sank the British merchantman Port Brisbane, was described by a survivor today as an armed merchant ship, believed to be one of several Nazi vessels sent to scattered parts of the world for winter operations. E. W,. Dingle, second engiaser of the Port Brisbane, wHich was sunk in the Indian Ocean, was in command of a lifeboat carrying 27 men picked up by an Australian warship. “I saw the armed merchantman firing from about a mile and a half away,” he said. “The Port Brisbane was hit about eight times on her main deck but so far as I could see none of the crew sufféred more than superficial cuts. : “I ordered my men into a life boat and we later saw the raider close in, apparently to pick up occupants of two other life boats. The raider torpedoed the Port Bris-

1bane, which burned steadily and

then went down by the head, n
