Bacteriological Warfare has die- veloped in Die few years since its conception into a force capable of crippling a nation in its most Vun- erable spot, the home-front. This is the warning of Dr. L(ynn L. Gee, instructor In AAM's Biology Department, who assisted in re search along: I this line during World War | IJC.I The use of germs as a destruc tive force by any aggressor is such a grisly ipossibllity that, ac cording to Dr. Gee, “We as a country owe it to ourselves to In vestigate all possibilities, i- Pathological organisms as a weapon of war can be used in two ways—as a means of introducing plant and animal diseases and con sequently running food-stuffs, or as actual gases attacking people directly. To illustrate the possibility of germ-warfare, Dr. Gee'pointed out that such tactics were employed by Japan in World War II. Luck ily enough, Japanese attempts to Introduce a plague Into China wtere not too successful. One of the , greatest dangers of this recent j method of destruction is the fact^that it can be easily carried ou|t within a country through fifth column activity, At the present time, however;- our country has apparently ade quate protective'measures against any such underground activity, re assure* Gee, These protective method* have been in operation for year*, not as checks against bacteriological warfare, but a* routine national health measure*. An undue prev* altnuie of any type of disease Is immediately investigated by our National Health Service and other agencies, A possible trace of this new weapon, says Oee, la faced with several problems. In the first place, an aggresnr would hesitate to ruin the koll of another land If he later expected to use that land for his own productive pro gram. Another problem arises from time . limitations. Many of the germ warfare possibilities would take time to be jput into effect. Lhers, however, |are a* swift as they are destructive. Gas warfare would probably be the most effective this latter class. Numerous germ-laden gas es could be dropped from planes in a concerted air assault. These gbses would cause come fast- working, comparatively incurable disease. . Dr. Gee has a word of consola tion concerning attenipts to start any type of plague in this coun try. Our nation has proven it self fairly immune to plague in the vast portion, of the country west of the ROckies, he says. During his two years with the Chemic& Warfare Service in the second World War, Gee worked entirely on our nation’s germ-War- fare project. < On this work he bases his warn ing thajt the use of germs as a weapon! of war stands second only to the atomic bomb as mankind’s greatest threat.

Later Hester joined the navy. He was dishonorably discharged in December, 1948, ami went back to Lorili The state accuses Hester m hid ing In a closet, awaiting the return of Dr. Lord.
