He added: "When the time comes that we can't get at primary targets, we must have some other means of stopping Russian aggression."

Said General Omar Bradley, not long ago: "The atomic bomb, properly delivered, almost precludes . . . another amphibious operation like the one in Normandy...

There they started to produce for war. They manufactured such war goods as radio crystals and control units for target planes and eventually became one of the Signal Corps' biggest suppliers. At war's end, Swanson hopped into the rapidly expanding television industry, and opened a Los Angeles plant to produce tuners...
