GERMANY'S V'S HAVE JUST BEGUN TO Id
Long-range Buzz Bombs Developed by Germans Could Span
Oceans in Next War, Military Experts Say

Yanks inspect a robot bomb launching site, from which buzz-bombs were aimed at
England. V-12's are already hitting Britain. In next war, they may span ocean and
strike at American industrial centers, military experts belie ve.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. It is
far less important that, the Ger
mans have counter-attacked us
with some success, than that they
have counter-attacked with new
secret weapons and robot bombs.
This first reported use of V-l on
the battlefield instead of on
cities, plus increasing develop
ment of lone-range rockets, means
more than the loss of some ground
to our future and to the future of
the world.
It emphasizes the recent warn
ings of leading military and naval
authorities that the first timid
hopes of those contrivances are
developing into soaring fights to
ward a future when they will be
decisive weapons. The long-range
missies have just begun to fight.
Already they fight more effec
tively than at their first appear-

ance. The enemy is solving the
j problems of aiming and range;
not completely but more than is
: realized. Some buzz-bombs have
i a radio signal that flashes the
j robot's position when it dives. The
! launchers then, by map triangula-
i tion, find the spot whence it came,
' compare that with where they
I hoped it would fall, adjust for
I weather and wind and shoot an-
I other flock. Apparently the faster
iu i. u T
range is greater than when we
believed that to stop it we need
only capture the rather miscalled
"rocket coast."
The 'eal rockets, the V-12's,
have been striking Britain for
over a month. They and the ro
bots came from points so numer
ous and dispersed that no single
counter measure is fully effective.
V-2, unlike V-l, can hardly be
intercepted, give little or no
warning, and can probably be
guided by radio waves. Already
it probably outranges V-l and may
even carry six hundred miles.
From Europe to America is
roughly three thousand miles. To
span that is probably, though not
certainly, impossible in this war.
And thus far wind prediction diffi
culties, so far away would seem to
limit accuracy. But what of the
next war if any? Today's news
i indicates how the V s are creeping
up on us.
WAR WITHOUT WARNING
Our defense leaders and scien
tists seriously believe these weap
ons may enable our next enemy
j to open war upon us without
warning, repeating Pearl Harbor,
not only at New York but at De
troit or Pittsburgh, which would
be more serious. And the burst
ing robots or rockets launched
from land, sea or air, would be
followed by the airplanes of the
future (we are now nearing 700,-
mile-an-hour speed) far greatef
than our B-29 of today in range
and carrying capacity in bombs
or paratroopers.
Army and Navy today are push
ing research and experiment not
nnly in how to counter the flying
death, but how to turn it to our
purpose.
Rocket production now has
"must" priority. Soon we will be
spending $112,000,000 a month on
it alone. The lonely lands of the
Mojave Desert in California will
soon see strange experimenting'
'with genuine likenesses to Men
from Mars.
This is but one of many areas
sacred and secret to recearch and
experiment into new weapons
which science regrettably but in
evitably is continually putting in
to men's hands. The services have
money now $500,000,000 last
year. In 1938 congress gave them
only $2,500,000. They had to let
fall many inventions of good Am
erican brains which Germans and
Japs picked up and developed. The
Germans were slow with their V
weapons. They might have made
D-day impossible which simply
proves research must be unceas
ing. After V-day in Europe and
Asia, Army and Navy hope the
country will not sink back into
the complacent penuriousness of
1938. We must continue research;
must have money and men.
Major-General Oliver P. Echols,
chief Air Force authority on sup
plies, says:
"Today we have the greatest
air force in the world, but with
in two or three years every piece
of equipment which we have now
will be obsolete. To maintain an
air force equipped with obsolete
equipment is false security and
waste of money.
"With the research now going
on in connection with jet engines,

rockets, supersonics, electronics
and improved explosives, we have
no idea what the airplane of the
future will be like or how the air
force will he equipped or operat
ed in combat.
"We do know that it will be
quite different than it is today
and there is every reason to be
lieve the changes in the next .ten
years will be much greater than
th changes during the last ten
years."
SPEED ESSENTIAL
Rear Admiral J. A. Purer, navy
coordinator of Research and De
velopment, says: "True security
lies in speed of accomplishment."
Secretaries Forrestal and Stim
son have just approved creation
of a new body tha might be called
"The Never Again Board." Its
object is to see that never again
shall be neglect scientific research.
It will be a .permanent jrroun of
notable American scientists now
being organized by the National
Academy of Sciences, to work
with the army and navy in keeping
up with the newest developments.
That, Admiral Furer believes, is
"the only way to keep ahead in
this complex technical war of mea
sure and counter-measure" which
will continue into peacetime.
For other nations will not stop
research. Tomorrow science con
quers us unless we conquer
science.
