WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK I- I By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) XJEW YORK.—With all the bad ^ news now coming through, there is reassurance in finding an intelli gence officer who is really intelli Act, Like Man of ££ "S,? Thought; Think, gent and op A, Man of Action 1*™ ^ding a four-leaf clover. The congenital op timists this department has known in the last few years haven’t been any too bright. Everybody who knows Col. Eg mont Francis Koenig, intelligence officer of the First air force, sta tioned at Mitchel Field, L. I., testi fies that he is "smart in the head.” As to his hopeful outlook, here’s his current observation about plane pro duction. "I can assure you that were you to know the exact figures of actual bomber production your heart would swell with pride, as did mine when these figures were confided to me.” The First air force comprises 22 states of this region. As head of its G-2 section, Colonel Koenig is its eyes and ears, and its alarm clock. If he happens to be an optimist, he has to work like a pessimist, who expects the worst. Small, agile, dili gent and alert, insatiably curious about many things, he is at the op posite pole of the brass-hat army tradition, easy to see, an enemy of red tape, popular with his men and a multitude of others eager to give him an earful about anything they consider important Colonel Koenig’s mind has many facets all of which were polished up in various pursuits before he en tered the first World war as an amateur soldier and rose rapidly in rank as an apt pupil in the science of arms. A native of New York, he was in Europe as correspondent of the old New York World when the war started and entered the army as a second lieutenant. Two years lat er, in 1918, he was a major, at the age of 26. Back home in 1920, he entered the chemical warfare service. He was one of the founders and the first lec turer at the Army Industrial col lege. later an instructor at the Fort Riley Cavalry school, and then in Hawaii for two years. He was back in 1935, teaching military history and intelligence at the general staff school at Fort Leavenworth. He attended St. Francis Xavier and took his bachelor of arts de gree from Columbia in 1912. DEAN SWIFT said he had grave misgivings about the human race as a whole but he couldn't help liking John and Peter and Paul. r ~ , In the cur rree Frenchmen rent trage* Would War With dy of "Man _ „ against him Stoncs if Need Be seif ” this department finds the highly person alized aspects of the encounter the most encouraging. One feels that way in meeting Lieut. Gen. Louis Souques of the Free French, in New York, en route to London from French Equatorial West Africa. If you happen to think that there is too much machinery in this war and you long for a dash of the Beau Sabreur, fending off black legions with a broken blade, you in stantly assign the general this role, and feel much better about the chances for a happy ending. The general’s career to date is a remind er that he and the other Free French | leaders are tough, realistic, hard hitting, resourceful and experienced fighting men. who would give battle with cobblestones if they had to. Obviously the lean, whippy gen eral would have fought with the Al pine Chausseurs. He would wear on his tunic the Croix de Guerre and the ribbon of the Legion of Honor and other decoration*. Asked whether Hitler would be able effectively to convert and use the continental resources of labor and materials, or whether increas ing sabotage might pull him down, the general replied: "At present, Hitler is converting i much of these resources, and it would be unwise to underestimate this. But his troubles are already beginning as the conversion turns from consumer goods to capital goods. Obviously, the Germans must center on heavy industry, in utiliz ing French plants and labor for the war, and the curve of sabotage will go right on up with this effort” We asked whether the betrayal of France by certain highly placed pol iticians had been due to the infil tration of Nazi doctrine or to venali ty. "Most of them were just graft ers.” he said. "They didn't care much about political philosophies, but they loved money and they feared communism. Petain wasn't a grafter, but long before the war he had looked sympathetically or what he considered the German achievement of order and discipline He was an honest believer in his own conception of an authoriiariar state." I. NATIONAL AFFAIRS Rtvitwtd by CARTER FIELD Great Value of Fighter Planes Now Being Understood by Using Defense of Britain as Example . .. Non Defense Agency Heads Worrying . . . (Bell Syndicate—WNt! Service.) WASHINGTON —Just as the ef fectiveness in military strategy—as distinguished from mere destruction and terrorism—of the bomber was overestimated in the early stages of the war, so the fighter and the tor pedo plane, especially the latter, were underestimated. The huge production promised by President Roosevelt in his address to congress included all types of plhnes. There is a strong feeling, however, that a larger quota of the planes should be fighters and tor pedo planes and a smaller propor tion of bombers than is now con templated. Curiously enough, the “fighter” plane is really more a defensive than an offensive weapon while the heavy bomber is primarily an of fensive weapon. Fighter planes are essential to protect bombers, because a fighter plane can make short work of a bomber, a dive bomber or a tor pedo plane if it catches one of these without protection from other fight ers. It was the concentration of British fighter planes against German bombers which was one of the chief reasons for the failure of the Nazis to crush 3ritain early in the fall of 1940. Goering sent over plenty of fighters, but the British fighters had strict orders to avoid combat with them whenever possible, and con centrate on the invading bombers. A Murderous Toll This policy, coupled with the for tunate circumstance that Sir Hugh Dowling had forced the equipment of the British fighters with such heavy fire power (failure to do which explains the utter futility of the much vaunted Italian military aviation) took a murderous toll of the invaders. Some think it was this toll which defeated the Nazi objec tive. Some think the Germans would have won had they decided to pay the price. It was after this that the torpedo plane came into its own. The theo ries of the admirals, British as well as our own, about the almost in vulnerability of battleships to air attacks, have been partially justi fied so far as bombers are con cerned. But the torpedo plane has proved the deadliest foe of the big battle wagons. It was these planes which smashed Italian ships at Taranto. It was a plane-fired tor pedo which crippled the Bismarck’s ability to steer; torpedoes which sank the Prince of Wales and the Repulse. Strangely enough, the only battle ship sunk by a bomb in the whole war so far has been a Japanese ves sel, sunk by one of our army bomb ers. The idea of bombing Germany into submission has been abandoned. This means that more emphasis from now on must be placed on oth er types of planes, against the day of expeditionary forces promised by the President. • • • Capitol Workers Can’t Change Jobs The idea that national defense would be best served, and local Washington’s housing and transpor tation problems rendered less dif ficult, by transferring competent workers from reform and other non defense agencies to the war agencies came to a number of high govern ment officials, including cabinet members, who realized that if this sort of thing started there was no telling where it might stop—or what might happen to their place in the sun as a result. The first red light was seen by these officials, far more concerned about conserving their own power than anything else, when lend-lease operations really began moving. Then when OPM began to function, needing an army of new clerks and stenographers as well as officials, came a deluge of requests by em ' plcyees to move from the non defense agencies to OPM, to the war department, to the navy depart | ment. etc. Immediately the ban was clappec. | down. Workers in existing reform and other non-defense agencies posi tively would not be permitted to switch over. They were even for bidden to apply for work in the new agencies! Probably the most amusing case was that of Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, who was so worried when some of the political appointees actu ally moved over. The joke here is I that every department head is sup i posed to be delighted when any ex ! cuse takes a political appointee away from him. on the theory that a non-political appointee is more ef ficient and does more work for less salary But Mr Wickard—and other heads of non-defense agencies—didin't like this prospect. They wanted the po , litical as well as the less influential j employees to stay right with them. Quite Simple Sally— What's your idea of a simple wedding? Joan—One that costs twice as much O' the family can afford. Fired! Captain—Is this gun working? Private—No, sir. It’s been dis charged. The female of the speeches is deadlier than the male. Ain’t It So? Philosopher—And what do we want in this world to make us happy? Cynic—The things we ain’t got. — Only Explanation At last he mustered up his courage to pop the question, and, to his blissful \ bewilderment, was accepted. If lien he'd j recovered, he stammered: “However did it happen, Jasmine, that such u bright and shining angel as yourself could ever fall in love with a ! dull, stupid fellow like me?” “Goodness knows, Ted,” was the fair maid’s candid comment: “/ must have a screw: loose somewhere." What’s Wrong With That? Exam. Paper—If it took seven men four hours to dig a ditch four feet deep and two feet wide, sixty feet long, how long would it take three men to dig the same ditch? Bright Student—No time at all, the ditch is already dug. A pessimist is a man who is al ways building dungeons in the air. Correct Diagnosis A Negress, asking the New Mex ico State Employment service to help her to find a job, said her hus band had been in a car smash and suffered “conclusion of de brain.” “You mean ‘concussion of the brain’?” suggested the official. “No, suh,” said the Negress. “Ah means conclusion of de brain. He’s dead.” In Other Words— There was a terrific crash in the hall, and mother ran out of the dining-room, her eyes wide with fear “Whatever’s that?” she gasped. Her son, a shining light in the Air Training corps, reassured her. “It’s all right!” he replied. “It was only father coming down stairs. He nose-dived, flattened out, and made a crash landing.” PATTERNS ) SEWDNG CDPCLE ~ 1538-B P)OESN’T this picture of our two attractive aprons inspire you to start a sewing bee at once?
