The Government does insist that the magnesium faci.

Of national interest.
The operator seek will appraise these immediate facts
in the light of the potentals of Velasoos products in
America that demands progress.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Although Velasco does not have facilities for abca.
ton ofs magnesium ingot production the Office ofReal
Property Disposal also has available modern fabrication
facilities which may be integated with Veasco. These
fabrcatng facilities include foundres for both Sand and
Mold Castings and facilities for Die Castings
Excursions, and Forgings.
Theaggregate capacity of these several abrcatng plants
is greatly less than the metal producing capacity of
Velasco.
The Office of Real Property Disposal invites proposals
for the Veasco plant any Of these abrcatng facilities

Russians Fire On Army Transport In Vienna

VIENNA, April p, CP) Four Russian fighter planes made runs on a U. s. Army Transport and fired from two to four 37-milli- meter shots into the planes wings as it came to the U. s. Army air port at Tulln, just outside of Vii enra.
 Airmen at the field identified the fighters as P-39s which were furnished to the Russians by American lend-lease. The four fol- lowed the transport right to the field, leaving only after it touched the ground.
 The CAT was on a test run and carried no passengers. Captain James Baxter, the pilot, was asked for a report as soon as he landed. Expressing indignation, Baxter said he saw two shots fired and added he believed there were others. "That's all right in 9 cross country flight when you can just sit there and fly, but don't like it when you are in transition be- tween flying and landing"
 Baxter said four other members of the transports crew corrobo- rated Baxter's report. The pilot said he within ten miles of the area around the airfield prescribed for American planes by the Rus sians, when the fighters appeared.
 Because the airport is inside the Russian occupation zone the Russians have prescribed strict regulations for the operation of American aircraft.
