By JIM G. LUCAS = | Scripps-Howard, Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 — The, .. weapons of World War II already are obsolete, Gen. George C, Ken-|

* mander, believes. “In the armed forces, we cannot

afford to live on the reputations we made from ~ Dec. 7, 1041, to August 14, 1045," Gen. Kenney says in. the current issue of Ordnance Magazine, “We

war. World War = Ee an 11 is not modern Ea : -—it is out of Gen. Kenney date.” Airplanes which approach the speed-of sound “have brought| a host of troubles,” Gen. Kenney said. |

“The old reciprocating. engine]

built by the thousands (in World War II) is being superseded by the turbine and the jet,” he sald. “The . Metals used a couple of years ago are useless in the heats encountered in the jet power plant, No-Crack Paint

“Simple riveting jobs won't do In * the modern fighter or bomber whose surfaces have to be as smooth as .glass. We can gain 15-miles an hour, on a jet fighter by a smooth paint’ Job over the normal polished alum-|

fnum surface. But when.the.con-} -

tinual flexing of the ‘wings puts al few cracks in the paint, we lose 25 miles an hour, So.far, we haven't,

And in the armament field, Gen. Kenney- said, “we must, start all

over again.” | :

* “Our bombs are obsolete for new. high-speed aircraft,” he said. “The present shapes are so poor that no * orié knows where they would hit if they were released at modern’ speeds. They would simply tumble all over the sky, shedding fins and’ possibly detonating themselves in the violence of their own gyrations it dropped from a bomb bay at al speed ‘of 600 miles an hour, “New bombs must have Siptaces as smooth as the aireraft which carries them.” i Electronics ‘Guide Bomb 3 “The fuzes no longer will be simple contact affairs. Inside the bomb casing, in addition to the explosive! charge, will be 211 kinds of electronic | devices to guide the bomb to its target.” ° | Gen. Kenney said that alreraft| machine guns and cannon used in, World War II “will be only slightly better than the cannon used by the: English at the Battle of Crecy 500 years ago.” Today, he said, machine-gun bul-! lets are fired at, intervals one-twen-| tieth of a second apart, each bullet trailing the other by 170 feet. But in one-twentieth of a second, a 600-mileaan-hour fighter moves 44 feet.

“If we want to be sure of hitting} airplanes in air combat, we must}”

get those bullets closer,” Gen. Keni-! ney said. “That means a. Higher rate of fire and multiple gan instal-] lations. For “higher tate ‘of fire, tougher-metals—that-can-withstand:
