Inventor Claims Rockets, Will Wipe Out Cities of, Europe Quickly.

By HERBERT RICHARDSON United Press Staft Correspondent

—JoMh ¢ “Hays: Hammond - Jr, noted inventor engaged in secret work for the army air corps, predicted today that world war. III is | inevitable, butt that it will last only hours instead of years.

He- also predicted: That every European capital will Ibe in .constant danger of extermination. within a few hours from highly developed rocket bombs. That such bombs will be radio-

{to constitute a super-artillery, That many. new automatic -de»s unknown in the present war vill -be used ‘with devastating efHect. Historie Scene

Hammond, perhaps the nation’s No. 1 pomb control expert and holder of nearly “800 patents, was interviewed in the medieval-type castle which is his “home. Overlooking Norman's Woe. scene of the wreck f the Hesperus, the castle is reached "by a footbridge across a moat; ‘Another war is bound to come unless human nature changes—and I don’t think it will,” he said. “The people have little to say about whether there will. be a war. It's the leaders who plunge a mation into battle. - ¥ the matter were put

Says U. S. Lagged

Before i pe sent war, Hammond | said, the U. S. military “took noj.. initiative” in establishing facilities | for the perfection of rocket bombs. | “In Germany Nt took a dictator | with imagination— fiendish as it | may have been—to force technical! improvements such; as robot and! rocket. bombs on tlie brass hats: of| the reich,” he added Asked if he thought it. ever would] be possible for a man-carrying| rocket to reach the moan, Ham- | mond said the idea was fantastic.” “The impact would, be so great Ithat the rocket would be broken to pieces,” he said. “There would be no atmosphere to check its flight | {If a man rode the rocket, he could not- survive. -And even if he should live, he'd have no way of getting| back \ta earth.” HE I Ro AND ira:
