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.

(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.
