EXPERTS CONFIDENCE IN OUTCOME IN
KOREA
Washington, July 16.
As the Korean fighting entered its fourth week, military méh continued confident of eveántual succosì in repelling the invader and one of their reasons was faith in air power. They contend that the results of air blows will show up more and more in the weeks to conto.“- Popular public belief in the ability of planes to halt aggression was all but shattered in the first three weeks of the Korean conflict, but military experts contend this sentiment has swung too far.
Defence authorities aclunow- ledged that neither or nor sea power alone or combined can halt aggression, but they commented that, from being vastly overrated, the Air Force has suddenly become underrated in popular feeling.
The peak of confidence pro- bably came after the success of the Berlin airlift. The depth of distrust follower last week as the Axotle
