B! ROGER D. GEEENI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 -- (AP) -G-en. Omar Bradley told Con- gress today there is "little real danger now" that enemy invasion forces could over-run the United States "so far so we can see."

The General. chairman of the United States joint chiefs of staff. said that in ilhe'event of war, some enemy bombers might get through to attack American cities, but he declared:

"Our own program of de- fence against eirattack. com- bined with the efforts of the Canadians, will provide such air defence for this country that complete disaster-Vviu not overtake us."

Brtadtley gave that estimate of US. readiness to cope with air or land assault in testimony be- fore the Senate preparedness sub- committee. The group is studying a Defence Department bill to ex- tend the draft to I8-year-olds and lengthen draft service from 21 to 27 monliths.

Explains Needs

Bradley told the senators what is needed to strike back by air if attack comes. He explained:

”The initial retaliation against an enemy by strategic bombing

Junior Aid Of . P.E.l. Hospital Monihlylteeiing

The monthly meeting of the Junior Aid of the Prince Edward island Hospital was held at the Cundail Home on Jan. 15 with 56 members present.

The president opened the meet- ing with the Lord's Prayer. re- peated in unison. after which the minutes of the last meeting and the executive meeting were read and approved.

The treasurer reported a bank balance of 3788.84. The adoption of this rerport was seconded by Mrs. Waller Goss.

Six new members were wel- comed io the meeting -by the president. Mrs. H. J. A. Brown.

Mrs. B. G. Raynor reported that a sewing machine for the Nuraes' l-lame, costing 3105.00. had been purchased and that a oheque for 362.25 had been forwarded. The balance had been paid by the Senior Aid. '

Mrs. Brown suggested that as many members as possible patron-

will be provided if the air power and the necessary army and navy support to seize and hold the bases from which to operate are in our hands the moment an em- crzency arises.

”rhe closer the bases are in the enemy the easier it will be. and the less costly it will be, to pro- Vfidle a sustained retaliation air attack.

"Our strategy does not include a retraction of all our military power to the continental limits of the North American continent when we are attacked.”

Bradley did not furnish detail on this broad outline of counter- atiack strategy.

At the outset of his iestimoiry Gen. Bradley was asked by chair- rnan Lyndon B. Johnson (Dent. Tex.) -to "be blunt where blurri- ness is neceuary."

Bradley said the U.S.. must be ready to meet the threat of Red aggression for many years.

lied Threat To Continue

But the summary: "There is little real dangr now of the continental United States being invaded and overrun so far as we can see."

Under questioning. Bradley ex- 1 pressed a cautious hope that the 3,-462,205-man goal set for the American armed forces by next June 30 may be all the expansion needed.
