CAPT. CYRIL FALES SAYS-

BRITAIN'S WAR PLANNING NEEDS IMPROVEMENT TO MEET NEW TACTICS

"Total war has been brought about by the air arm more than by any other factor," said CAPT. CYRIL FALLS, military correspondent of THE TIMES arid an authority of military developments when he broadcast from London yesterday on the manner in which Britain was adapting herself to meet the new tactics and strategy of modern warfare.
