It i.s conceivablo that may have produced I-told- among military men skeptical of aviation po.s.sibilitie.s But It is doubtful that many Army officers are di.scouraged by the failure of the March attack. Aviation, after all, i.s a new and constantly changing branch of General Arnold has less to learn from the nir commanders of World War I than General Kisenhower has to learn from Hannibal. The airplane's capabilitie.s are cnn.stantly developing. And tactics, unlike love, must alter where they alteration find. Accounts of the Gas.sino battle indicate that the problems there are as different from the problems of the Ru.s.sian canit'aign as Stalingrad was different from Truk.

Difficult terrain and a narrow front doubtle.ss cntmated an un- ii.sually important rule to air support. Cassino has been di.sappointing but there i.s no point in the pidilic being discouraged.
