PRESENT WAR FAILS TO AID CONTROVERSY No Major Battle Is Fought To Date By KIRKE L. SIMPSON AMocifttcd Press Staff Writer Half a year of war between Germany and the Franco-Bniish Allies IS draw'ing to close wdth no bslUe of major consequence yet fought. The total battle casualties are negligible in compsrison to those of some single days in the World Wsr. Only in the German-Poltsh battle and in the Russian-Finnish conflict, have terrible tolls in dead, wounded, and properly destruction been piled up. Only at sea has there been ruthless bombing of non-combat' ts, neutrals as well as belligerents, in the German effort to break the economic strangle-hold of Allied sea power.

Air Power Relied On Even there, there has been no real pitched battle of the air or between aircraft and battleships to indicate certainly whether air power is to bt the new decisive element of world power, displacing sea power, German hopes of victory over the Franco-British alliance were rested squarely on the assumption that air power had out.stripped sea er. Chancellor HitUr risked all on hi.s confidence of German air superiority when he ordered the Nazi march into Poland. The days nf the German- Polish war went far toward vincing non-military world opinion that Germany's boast of a de- air superiority over her rivals might prove well founded. Surprise Is Important Rurpri.se was a more important part Gorman technique in Poland, however, than her vast air superiority. The w.ir the Polish air force and for much of Poland almost as sonn it began.

It was over for all Poland bcff.re the more cumbersome Franco-British alliance could display any real force to save its Polish ally. Six months later, however. Germany has not wholesale at- l.ick on France or Britain by nir She still husbanding that air force as carefully as the British and French have husb.indcd theirs, still in doubt about its real war mission. And ith of all the neutral world 11 upon ment their own capacity to produce war planes, there can small doubt that the Allies are almost sight of air power equality with nmv. Ii is conceivable that another six months will see th''m not onlv equal, but nass best effort to dom'nate the air, yet still Germany hesitates to launch complete w'ar in the air.
