Halsey Blasts Long-Range Aerial Bombing
Washington, Oct. 12—(U.P.)-Fleet Adm. William F. "Bull" Halsey told congress today that B-36-type intercontinental bombing is a sure way to unite enemy peoples in "fiery patriotism."
Moreover, the only thing B-36 attacks could stop would be enemy bullets, the blunt-jawed hero of the Pacific war told the house armed services committee.
The five-star officer, highest navy ranker called in the congressional unification investigation, said the nation shuld be prepared with giant naval forces to "make pincer movements against an enemy on a worldwide scale."
Halsey said the mobility of naval forces in war was the prime requisite for victory against an enemy. The lessons of World War II, he said, gave "proof of the pudding" rather than supporting the air force theory of pure aerial warfare.
Halsey's testimony was not limited to criticism of the air force. He also outlined what should be done in war, especially by navies.
Halsey said the strategic theory of city bombing was useless in cutting down an enemy like Russia. Instead, he said, this nation should be prepared to attack the Soviets' "stringy transport systems so drawn-out that they cannot be heavily defended at all places." He did not name Russia in this connection but his meaning was clear.
There is no issue over air power but over the employment of it, Halsey made clear to the committee.
He thought it was "curious" that, with the history of the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress at hand, the argument for long-range unescorted bombing missions should be revived.
Job Future Bright, Therapists Are Told
Opportunities for physical therapists are unlimited and the need for them is urgent, Miss Lilyan Warner physical therapy advisor, told members of the Physical Therapy club Tuesday.
"There are 4,000 practicing physical therapists now." Miss Warner said, "and by 1960 there will be a need for about 25,000." She pointed out that army, navy, and veterans hospitals, civilian hospitals, and industrial units hire many physical therapists.
"After World War II the need for physical therapists steadily increased. Physical therapy is indispensable in the treatment of polio," the advisor said.
A film, "Accent on Use," was shown to the group.

Dr. Jarvis Explains Bacteriology Work
Dr. F. G. Jarvis, assistant professor of bacteriology spoke to approximately 70 Bacteriology club members Wednesday on "Opportunities in Bacteriology."
"Industry is becoming more and more conscious of the value of research in bacteriology," Dr. Jarvis said. He also told the club that curiosity and honesty are important to a good scientist.
"Curiosity about the problems the scientist deals with makes him enjoy his work," Dr. Jarvis said. "Honesty is essential in the scientist so he will observe and record what he observes honestly, and not be responsible for false or inaccurate information."
The bacteriologist said it was much easier to get a fellowship for research work now than a decade ago. It is no longer necessary that a student be at the top of his class to get a scientific fellowship, he said. Bacteriological opportunities in civil service, army, navy, hospital, industry, and university work were also explained.

ISA Convention Postponed
Commie Raids Sweep Czechs
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Oct. 12—(U.P.)—Scores of middle class Czechs were reported arrested today by Communist police in unremitting raids in this city of apprehension.
Reliable sources said those arrested were hurried to district police stations to await transportation to the concentration camp at Svaty Jan Pod Skalou (St. John Under the Rock).
Evidence mounted that the mass arrests, now going on for more than a week, were part of a campaign to eliminate members of the middle class who resisted the Communist regime.
The Prague radio yesterday denounced former businessmen, land owners and industrialists who "crawl underground to whimper to one another and go ahead with their filthy work against the workers who rule the state at present."
