Washington insiders describe a crowded Pentagon courtroom as Col. Jack Durant faces a court martial over the Hesse jewel theft. Jewelers, veterans, lawyers and officials jostle for seats to glimpse the flashing gems from Kronberg Castle and observe postwar military justice.
A court scene shows Jack Durant amid jeers and gawking spectators as two Pentagon clerks greet him and a neighbor questions his potential sentences. The Neue Zeit notes cigaret driven barter in Germany while recalling wartime travel patterns of American servicemen.
Berlin and much of Germany live in a strange financial phase as economists study monetary reform. The American cigarette has become a valuable barter item, undermining the legal currency. The period stems from widespread distrust of the mark and the scarcity of cigarettes.
Major Alexander P. De Seversky warned the American public that security now lies in the air. In an IN S interview he called for shifting defense funds from sea power to air power, maintaining a ready long range air force for global defense and swift retaliation.
The World War I ace Seversky argues that air power will decide future wars until humans guide weapons without interference. He warns against overreliance on pushbuttons and predicts jamming devices and a stalemate if technology outpaces control. He backs a unified air force and views a future with guided missiles and ocean air travel.
