since Jan. 23 by a strike, reopened
today and some 63,000 pupils re

yesterday by Gov. Luther W.!

“Air Defense” Of
U. S. “Insoluble”
MONROE, Wis., (IP) — Air de
fense of the United States is an
“almost insoluble problem,” says
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, vice
chief of the air force.
Long range bombing within an
attacking enemy nation offers the
best “and perhaps only opportun
ity to strike a decisive blow,” he
said in a speech Monday night.
Increased range, speed and alti
tude of modern airplanes were
cited by the general as causes for
increasing difficulty of defense
against air attack.
Twining spoke at a Chamber of
Commerce dinner in his home
city.
After discussing the effective
ness of the atom bomb which can
be carried by American long range
bombers, he said:
“Long range bombardment is a
method of warfare through which
our superiority of skills and wea
pons can be brought to bear
against the sources of enemy
strength anywhere in the world.”
The air force official said this
striking power would not be
against enemy populations but
against installations which make
it possible for the enemy to pro
duce weapons.
“Modern industrial plans can’t
be divided and scattered without
destroying the efficiency of pro
cessing and assembly so necessary
in mass production,” he said.
Of the Korean war, Twining
said there has been “very little
real air warfare” because the air
force has avoided attacking the
enemy’s principal bases and source
of supply in Manchuria.
