FOURTEEN NEW CASTLE, NEWS, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1939. Says Infantry And Artillery ToDecideWars Former Nazi Chief Of Staff Gives Opinion On Future Battles SAYS ROLE OF AIR FORCE EXAGGERATED By WALTER DIETZEL International Service Staff Correspondent and artillery will decide future wars, regardless of modern weapons, and strategy will always be the master of technique. not its servant. The is the quintessence of an article by General George Wetzel, former chief of the camouflaged German general-staff when that institution was prohibited according to Versailles, and from 1929 to 1934 chief foreign military advisor to Marshal Chiang Kai-shek in the building up of a modern army and reportedly the man who drafted China's defensive campaign against Japan. In a contribution to a voluminous work entitled German Defense Forces General Wetzell, one of von Seeckt's disciples, under the title and Battie Leadership" gave a comprehensive survey on what he thinks will be the characteristics of future wars.

In contrast to frequently voiced current opinion of laymen and in direct opposition to many view the general wrote: Cites War Experiences authors endowed with a lot of imagination, who believed that the artillery could be replaced by armored cars with machine-guns and guns and by bombers, apparently have been set right by experiences in all wars after 1918. Success in future wars stands and falls with the main pillars on earth, the infantry, the of the and the In another place the general summarized: future war will not become a war of technique, as some people believed prematurely, but leadership influenced by technique remains what it always was: an art." big principles of army leadership have nor essentially changed since Hannibal is not dependent on technique and must never become In his predictions about the fate of future wars the general was not over-optimistic about the role the air force and armored troops will play. Holding the GHQ in a coming war would have to tackle the hardest tasks and operations right at the beginning, in contrast to the World War, where the hardest work was done in the last year, and mainly because big European Powers have been turned into veritable fortresses since the World War. the general maintained that modern calvary, contrary to certain predictions, not dead" but still a very important factor in scouting operations. Gen- jeral Wetzell stated very emphatic- jally that the will bear the 1 brunt of the Role Of Air Forces As to the role of air-forces, the general made the following vivid I and extremely interesting predic- lion: main task of the air-force i lies at the beginning of war during the time of the marching up of I armies prior to the contact with the enemy.

Under circum- stances it may have a codecisive role for the further course of the i war by independent operations, not only battling down the enemy force. but by its scouting work. it must be expected from an equal opponent that he will take to aggressive actions too. the result, according to humanly possible cal- culations. will be air battles, if not decisions over the fortified border districts of both partners.

The Douhet doctrine about attacks to the depth of the enemy country in order to destroy there everything on earth and in the air that seems vital for the continuation of the war does not seem to reckon with an equal opponent nor with preparations for war already taken now in far-reaching air defense Claiming that anti-aircraft guns, especially by means of new gun- di rectors, proved highly efficient against airplanes, as was shown in the Spanish Civil War, Wetzell held that border battles of the air forces will decide further operative employment of air forces during the war. Electric Heating Speeds Growth Of Mushrooms Mushrooms Develop Four Weeks Quicker Than Under Ordinary Plan Federation To Meet Wednesday Election Of Officers Will Take Place At Meeting In First U. P. Church Science has come to the aid of the Lawrence County Mushroom farm which is operated in abandoned limestone mines in Wampum, it was reported here today, soil-heating with electricity having resulted in a crop of mushrooms four weeks earlier than mushrooms in beds heated otherwise. Some time ago Walter Cross of the Pennsylvania Power company arranged with the owmer of the farm to try soil heating.

Electric charged cables were run through the mushroom beds and the temperature stepped up. On April 4, a test was made and where formerly six weeks were required for production, mushrooms were plucked within two weeks. One cluster, containing 10 mushrooms, was displayed here today and it was stated by Gross that through soil-heating mushrooms were produced one month ahead of the old method. Two hundred and fifty pounds each day are being plucked in the mushroom farm, it was stated and it is believed that within the next six months production will be 2,500 pounds a day.

The sport of kings, about to get into full swing in these northern climes, takes a lot of watching and supervising. When the racing season opened the other day, couriers raced to a laboratory in Chambers street, here in New York City, after each race, with specimens of the saliva of every winning horse. There are about eight? drugs which may be used in the doping of race horses, to slow them up or speed them up. The laboratory of the New York State Racing Commission is equipped to detect the presence of any one of these drugs, down to the tiny proportion of one part to 2,000 parts of water. The specimens arrive in sealed containers identified only by a number, the identityfl of the horse being unknown to the chemists who make the analysis.

Herbert Bayard Swope, chairman of the commission, says that the doping of horses has been virtually stamped out in the four years of operation of this system along with ATTEND FUNERAL OF JAMES McKIM in charge of the daughters of 1812, other vigilant measures.

last evening's Family Night party in The Cathedral was one of the nicest yet given by the organization, which is composed of the ex-service men who are members of the Valley of New Castle Consistory. While the adults played bingo, the children were entertained with movies by Clare B. Book, and later played games. Miss Marjorie Allen and Joe Vogan entertained with piano numbers. Door prizes were presented to those lucky in the draw, and the entertainment was concluded with the serving of an appetizing menu of fish and hot dogs.

But six or seven evidence was accumulating that horse-doping was growing to scandalous proportions; that it had been all too common for many years, and was increasing. Track officials and guards had fought it vigorously, but the opportunities for doping the food or water or a horse in some sly manner were such that defense against the vicious practices seemed almost the resourceful.

red-headed and persistent and I incredibly energetic Herbert Bay! ard Swope and John Sloan and John Hay Whitney, his associates, I set up their laboratory. Last year, they detected only four cases of doping. Racing owes a great debt to these gentlemen. This horse-doping business would seem to rate some special award for all-around sub-human villainy.
