DEFENCE OF LONDON
LONDON, July 24
General Sir Frederick Pile, formerly general officer commanding Britain's anti-aircraft defences, gave a warning to London today. He said: "If you are going to keep your city intact it is essential that you carry out research into all types of weapons that can be brought to bear on her in future. We were lucky in the days of the flying bomb that the attacks did not take place six months earlier. The equipment our scientists had devised was not even in production, and when the war ended we were still scratching our heads about the V-2."
