Army on Wheels and Wings Aiimy More Efficient Now Than Any Period in Peace-Time Boy Is Freed, Hunt Kidnapers By ALEXANDER tt.

'Isolated from potential enemy countries in Europe and Asia and on very friendly terms with neighboring Canada nnd Mexico, the United States has not felt that it needed a huge peacetime conscript army such as places a tremendous financial burden on nearly every other major country.

Since this peace-minded nation has depended primarily on stalwart navy to hold off nn agrcssor, the secondary defense has been a comparatively weak link in the line of resistance to possible enemy attack. However, there has been a steady strengthening of the army since the waning of international disarmament hnpe.i about five years ago. Still in numbers, it is rated by the army high command as more efficient today than at any other period in its ixiace- time history. New Planes Hutlt There has been tremendous progress in professional skill, mobility, modernization of weapons and equipment. Scacoast defenses nrc being modernized, tanks and motorized artillery are high speed, infantry with semi-automatic shoulder rifles arc being reorganized in new, streamlined halations.

Most striking advances have been in aircraft. The army now has 1,000 new planes, and another 1,000 under order. The 1,000 new planes are rated on par in efficiency with those of any power and the new "flying fortresses" are The Far East situation having raised the issue of U. S. rights.

Hope Star "irreducible minimum" defense is 14,600 officers and 165,000 men. National guard troops number 192,000, the defense objective being 210,000.

Congress has been appropriating nearly a half billion dollars yearly to strengthen the army. Military experts say, however, that an expenditure of about $150,000,00 Oon materials is needed now to bring army defense up to "comfortable security" stage. Probably the most important development in the secondary defense since the World war has been the building up of an Officer's Reserve corp, now 96,500 strong. Carefully worked out defense plans call for a speedy, wartime expansion of the army with these reserve officers providing a valuable training nucleus for hundreds of thousand of recruits. Gas Defense Adequate Our artillery, mostly of the French 75 type, which is being modernized for high speed towage, ranks well with other French artillery technique, however, has long been rated the world's finest.

U. S. anli-aircraft guns are among the best but the supply, army officers say, is not satisfactory. No particuar plans, it is said, have been made for use of gas as a weapon but the army has concentrated on gas defense and developed a satisfactory mask. Railway artillery and other big which can be moved quickly, protect threatened areas between fixed coast defenses.

Supplementing these in swift defense service is the new General Headquarters Air force which by 1940 Li slated to reach full strength of 1,000 up-to-the-minute- combat planes. This mighty sky-squadron, under a single, centralized command, is prepared for swift, emergency action at any danger point. If New York, Soa- attle or other "frontier" spot were menaced by enemy warships or planes, a powerful unit of the GHQ would be immediately concentrated for their defense. i Protection Measures Intensive motorization, phis excellent highwoys, has made troop movement to most sectors of thc country incredibly fast compared with World war standards.
