Union Again Talks Strik % Ps Ea It is interesting to read another article on aviation by Major Alexander P. deSeversky, in the eurrent issue 6f Mercury, and then to turn to the newspaper and read the: accounts of the dramtic battle of Crete. The title of deSeversky’s article itself carries a spine tingling sensation of alarm for all the olsters of this world. The title is “Twilight of Sea Power.’’ The inferences to be drawn from his discussion is that when the great battleships of 45,000 tons or more ‘are ‘completed for the United States in 1946, as a weapon they ‘will.be as defunct as the dodo. While he admits that sea power today still plays an important role in war, he points to the swift advances being made in the development of aircraft. Bombers with 8,000 miles range that even now can fly across the Atlantic with a tremendous load of bombs, discharge them, and return without once landing for fuel, The air, declares deSeversky, is over all the planet, while the seas are only between the lands. That nation which establishes supremacy in the air ultimately will take all other nations if it so. desires. ‘The victorious air force commands both land and sea, and at today’s rate of development, in perhaps five years, can command the surrender of any land or sea force, or wreak upon them total destruction in case of refusal. DeSeversky looks forward to the time in only a few years, when planes, non-stop, will fly the 25,000 miles around the earth at the equator. He admits that in the imperfect stage of war aviation today, other factors play an important role, but he points out that even the most cursory examination of the achievements of air forces in the present war, indicates clearly its coming dominance as a war weapon. The article was written some weeks ago, undoubtedly before the German aerial attack on the British in Crete began, but events there tend to corroborate de Seversky’s forecast. All advices indicate that the Germans now have command of the air over Crete. The British have withdrawn their air squadrons due to a lack of airports, or because such fields as they still hold are too ruttéd with bomb explosions for safe landings. In fact the fields are in such bad shape that on the single air field the Germans hold, their planes are wrecked in their own bomb holes. The fact is, of course, the German air force has not yet reached that stage of developmgnt which“ deSeversky declares will be here The Germans have tried to augment their air invasion with ships loaded with troops, and that has again proved that the British navy is still master on water. If, however, the Germans had enough air transports, enough trained parachutists, and arms of the right kind, there is little question that in. time they could overwhelm the British forces, Ofcourse, in time they may, though at this moment it looks as. if the British would wear out the German invaders, The terrible price the Germans are paying, a price measured in thousands of lifes, the destruction of their best trained and most resourceful troops, appalls the imagination. And we wonder whether deSeversky in forecasting the overwhelming might of air armies, has not neglected to take into aceount improvements in land defenses. As one reviews his discussion, the absence of any speculation on what defenses forces on land may develop in the way of counter measures to air invasion, is strikingly noticeable. Even now, it may be, the hard driven British and Greek troops on Crete may be evolving a system of counter attack, that in the future, will doom invaders except under surprise conditions, to certain death. De Seversky may well forecast a time near at hand when air armadas will be the major weapon in war.

O. Donovan, state director of selective service, today announced the modification of two factors which-have been grounds for deferment from military service. He said the modifications affect those men who have ‘been deferred because of bad teeth and those who have been barred from military training because of statutory law violations, Bridgework No Ban He explained that under the new ruling artificial teeth which are attached by bridgework to sound teeth are considered to be_ serviceable, whether the bridgework is removeable or not. The army requires that aman must have three pairs of incisor or front teeth which meet and three pair of masticator or back teeth which meet to be placed in a 1A classification, A plate of false teeth is not acceptable. In addition, the general said, men will be accepted for service’ if an examination of their mouths show that dental work could make them eligible for enlistment. General Donovan added that a national program is being set up to acquaint young men as well as doctors and dentists with the qualifications necessary fo enlistment. He said this will give young men a chance to prepare themselves for induction before (Continued on Page Four) . they are examined officially. To Traini ining » Felony Ban Changed He pointed out that a revision ‘of regulations has removed the sSweeping disqualifications of all men who have been eonvicted of a felony. Instead, he said, debarment as felons is limited to perpetrators of certain ‘ heinous crimes and habitual criminals. The heinous crimes listed include ._ treason, murder, kidnaping, arson or ° those of a sexual nature or involving _ illegal dealing in narcotics. : ‘In addition, the list provides for the rejection of men who have been convicted of two or more felonies, who are chronic offenders with pronounced criminal tendencies or those who are retained in the custody of any court of criminal jurisdiction or other civil authority. Action Explained General Donovan stated: This modification will enable many patriotic young Americans who had . been disbarred because of some youthful misstep to serve their nation : in the ranks of her armed defenders It is just that it makes a proper discrimination between — offenses that are merely vishatiens of statutory law and crimes which denote moral turpitude. It bars the criminal but it opens the door to the man who . atoned for and repented of an fense against society that is not g Po. erally accepted as a felon ag
