Bx THOMAS M. JOHNSON
NEA Military Writer
Washington, Jan. 2—It is far less
important that the Germans have
counter-attacked us with some suc
cess, than that they have counter
attacked with new secret weapons
and robot-bombs. This first report
ed use of V-l on the battlefield in
stead of on cities, plus increasing
development of long-range rockets,
means more than the loss of some
r
ground, to our ruture ana to me
future of the world.
It emphasizes the recent warn
ings of leading military and naval
authorities, that the first timid
hopes of those contrivances arc
developing into soaring fights to
ward a future when they will be
decisive weapons. The long-range
missiles have Just begun to fight.
Already they fight more effec

problems of aiming and range;

radio signal that flashes the robot's

Today's news Indicates how the V-s

WAR WITHOUT WARNING
Our defense leaders and scien
tists seriously believe these weap
ons may enable our next enemy
to open war upon us without
warning, repeating Pearl Harbor
not only at New York but at De
troit or Pittsburgh, which would
be more serious. And the bursting
robots or rockets launched from
land, sea or air, would be followed
by the airplanes of the future i we

of today in range and carrying cap
acity in bombs or paratroopers.
Army and Navy today are
pushing research and experiment
not only In how to counter the
! flying death, but how to turn It to
our purpose. Rocket production
now has "must" priority. Soon we
will be spending $112,000,000 a
month on it alone. The lonely lands
! of tile Mojave Desert in California
will soon sea strange experimenting
w ith genuine likenesses to Men from
Mars.
This is but one of many areas
sacred and secret to research and
experiment into n e w weapons
Which sci nee regrettably but in
evitably is continually putting
into men's hands The services
ha v e money now—$500,000,000
last year. In 1938 Congress gave
them only $2,500,000. They had to
lot frill mnnv inventions Of 1/00(1
American brains which Germans
and Japs picked up and developed.
The Germans were slow with their
I v-weapons. They might have made
j D-day impossible — which simply
proves research must be unceasing.
Alter V-day in Europe and Asia.
Army and Navy hope the country
will not sink back into the com
placent penuriousness of 1938. We
must continue research: must have
mency and men.

Air force authority on supplies says:
Today we have the greatest
Air force in the world, but with
in two or three years every piece
of equipment which we now haw

Air Force equipped with obsolete
equipment is false security and
waste of money. With the r search

NKA Starr Correspondent
Washington. Doc. 22 - You won t
have to take a reltmtnary course in
red-tape in on!or to stait to school
under the OI Bill of Rights plan
Veteran's Administration spokosmrn
insist. A week should cover the
time your application takes to go
through. If you're home lrom the
wars with a firm grip on your rec
ords. which in this case means noth
ing more elaborate than a certified
copy of your discharge pa|wr. your
application, which is approved in
your regional ofTl-e without going
to Washington should go through in
a few days. That may not be true
later when ofiires pet mowed under.
OI Bill or Rights Rives veterans
with 90 days' service a year's
schooling iplus as much time as
they wen- in servicei with a 500 limit
on tuition, fees, books and $50
monthly living expenses, or $75 with
a dependent. It will take some legal
hemming ar.d hawing to find how
this will work out In special cases.
Opinion so far is that if two veter
ans are married both will get full
allowances. Men veterans will prob
•i >ty sot the extra dependency al
lowance for an able-bodied mite,
while women veterans are expected
to have to show cause for a hus
band s dependency to get the extra
$25. For a dependent child the ex
serviceman and woman have an
equal chance at the extra allowance.
TIME TO CHOOSE
Veterans can choose their school
from state-approved lists. There is
almost no type of instruction that
is generally excluded but approval
won't be given for school in fly-by
night or crackpot enterprises set
up to rash in on the program. Al
though the bill says hopeful
scholars over 25 must show that
their schooling was interfered with
by going into service, so far this
is being interpreted very liberally
when vou can pass the chosen
school’s entrance requirements.
You don't even have to rush into
it. Veteran's Administration edu
cation officials say. The two-year
time-limit after war's end for start
ing school under the GI Bill of
Rights gives you time to look
around, or take a Jib for a while
before you make up your mind.
