PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.I AJEW YORK —The cost-plus is sue, stirring again, makes this World war seem a bit more like the j first one. Maj. Gen. Eugene Rey | bold, chief of Gen. Reybold,Top the United Flood Battler, for States army Cost-Plus in War cost-plus system in wartime con struction. He tells the Associated Contractors, meeting at Indianap olis, that the big idea when there is a war on is to get things done, and that the contractors “have ful filled their responsibilities satisfac torily.” General Reybold is the famous flood battler, who has won more decisions over rampaging riv ers than any man In or out of uniform. Getting a half-nelson on the Mississippi, in 1937, he didn’t figure the cost, plus or minus, but he licked the flood. His system always has been to beat the river to the punch, by a spillway, blowing up a dam, flooding lowland's or by any pos sible device or stratagem In his lore of flood-fighting. He knows them all. In these encounters, particularly in 1937, he met difficulties compa rable to those of tho "scorched earth" tactics of modern warfare. Farmers and planters frequently opposed his drastic measures, but he carried on tactfully and won their co-operation. He became chief of the engineers in September of last year, succeed ing Maj. Gen. Julian L. Schley. He knows rivers and river towns like an old time steamboat captain, also lakes and harbors, and any old set tlers in Memphis, Little Rock or Buf falo is apt to know all about him. From 1927 to 1932, he was stationed in Buffalo as assistant and district engineer on river, harbor and dredge operations. He was the U. S. representative on the International Niagara River Control board from 1925 to 1932, later district engineer at Wilmington, N C., and was en gaged in river control work at Mem phis when he was chosen to lead the engineers. AS AN air force officer, sounding sharp warnings against a day of doom and begging for bigger and better planes, Maj. Gen. Frank M. Andrews Hit Urginga Now gained dis Commonplacea in tinction as Sphere of Plane, never was afraid to stick out his neck. There is a hopeful augury in the fact that Lieutenant General Andrews, which he has since become, is supreme commander of the Caribbean de fenses. The Caribbean command, one of the most critical of defense areas because of the Panama canal, was assigned to General Andrews last July. Two months later, the general made a sur vey of the entire area and there after there were reports that he had insisted on a completely consolidated army and navy au thority. This authority was es tablished late last month, as a result of the Roberts report on Pearl Harbor, according to guarded reports from Washing ton. It might have been as sumed, in the light of past per formance, that the general would not accept divided author ity. The general did not fly with the A.E.F. in the First World war, but was in the air over Germany, from 1920 to 1923, and in the succeeding years gained army fame by a series of brilliant aerial exploits. In 1934, riding a Martin B-12 bombardment plane, he established a world rec ord for 1,000 kilometers. Becoming commander of the general headquarters air force In 1935, be vehemently urged a technological shakeup in plane design and equipment and cam paigned for many innovations which later came through. He was one of the first to urge air plane cannons and also one of the first to prophesy that planes soon would be useless without armor plate, and to demand this protection. He also was out early demanding large scale civ ilian training for the air forces. He was born in Nashville, Tcnn., and graduated from West Point in 1906. He threw away canned speeches which had been prepared for him j and said his own say so effectively that he became known as one uf the j best talkers in the army—always ; talking up intelligent and co-ordinat ed defense. He fought with the cav I airy on the Mexican border before | he found his wings, in 1917. He fre j quently has been called “the hand somest man in the army," although he is a bit on the rough-and-ready side and his somewhat unco-ordinat ed hair is never slicked down. If there is a swivel-chair officer in the army, he isn't the man. j_ NATIONAL AFFAIRS Reviewed by CARTER FIELD Fighting Ships at Sea, Despite Size, Need Air Protection for Success . . . Soviet Strategy Stamped ‘O. AV . . . (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.I WASHINGTON.—The only reason that the Nazis—and Italians—have not run the Mediterranean fleet of | the British out of "Mare Nostrum,” or destroyed it, according to a very competent British official here, is that the British admirals in that sea simply will not move their ships un less they are accompanied by ample I air power. For instance, when the daring raid on Genoa by British war ships thrilled Britain the attacking ships were accompanied by an aircraft ‘ carrier. In contrast the destruction of the Repulse and the Prince of Wales occurred because they did not have the protection of fighting planes. In which connection it should be remembered that either a dive bomber or a torpedo plane is a set up for a fast fighter. Most of our reactionary admirals —who pooh poohed the notion of bat tleships being sunk by aircraft— have not been convinced. They have turned PART of the way. But not enough, if we are to accept the argu ments of the air enthusiasts. Men like Major Alexander P. de Seversky are convinced that most of the battleships now under construc tion, and which are consuming such huge quantities of steel that is badly needed for other things—and expert workmanship is even more desper ately needed—will be obsolete by the time they are finished. "A battleship,” says Seversky, "venturing within range of enemy aviation operating from primary bases can hope to survive only if it is escorted by aviation equal to or superior to the total aviation on those bases. It is thus very much like a machine gun being conducted to its task by an escort of Big Berthas.” Most of the admirals say that we must have the battleship to "finish the job.” This is on the old fashioned, pre-World war doctrine that the battleship will be afloat, and some of their guns able to fire, after everything else has been sunk. Airplanes Sink Them That was before the admirals con ceded that a battleship COULD be sunk by an airplane, though many of us had been convinced of this by Gen. William Mitchell off the Vir ginia Capes back in 1922. But Amer ican, British, and even a Japanese battleship have been sunk by air planes since dawn of December 7. Most of the sinkings were by torpe does fired by planes, the weapon which rpade the Bismarck unable to navigate before she was damaged seriously by shell fire. Another point in this battleship argument is that the Japanese, in their smashing advances in the Southwestern Pacific, have not used battleships to any important extent. Japanese battleships were so scarce in these attacks—which cer tainly were intended to "finish the job”—that most experts thought the main Japanese fleet was in the Mar shall and Caroline islands. This is probably why our fleet made a sur prise attack on the Marshall islands. Nor are U. S. battleships able to do anything about relieving General MacArthur, they being just as help less to aid him as the Japanese bat tleships are to join in the attack he has been withstanding. It seems as though the country is entitled to an intelligent defense for expending so much of our productive capacity on battleships. • * * Finish Off Hitler First Is Plan Both President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill are in en tire accord with the Soviet strategy. They do not share the popular im- ; patience with Stalin for not loosing his bombers in attacks on Tokyo, arms factories, oil storage tanks, etc., in Japan. They agree with the Red dictator that the main job is to finish off Hitler—that tending to Japan and any other allies of the fuehrer will be just a "mopping-up” operation. "Stalin may be a dictator,” said one high government official to a lit tle dinner group, "but he does have to pay some attention to public opin ion even at that. Obviously, if public opinion goes against the best strate gy in a life-and-death war, stalin does not have to bother. He does not { have to risk an election as Lincoln did in 1864," There is another line of reasoning which has brought Roosevelt and ] Churchill into accord with the pres ent Soviet policy of not attacking | Japan. Both executives are pro- ( foundly convinced that Hitler is the main enemy. They want him beat en. And they are inclined to agree with Stalin that for him to risk an attack in the Far East might result in failure on both fronts. It is pretty much the same logic which Churchill expounded in his address in the U. S. senate chamber. He said the question was asked why there were not more men and more planes in Malaya. His answer was Libya. To have divided his forces, he said, would have been to risk failure on both fronts.
