bal problems and pursues a firm
and answering course"
People Not Aware
Bridges told the veterans that
~the people of our nation are not
fully aware of the imminence of
the danger which faces U.s. and
warned that unless we can at
once check Russian aggression
and cut out the cancerous growth
uk Communism in friendly coun-
ries, we may yet find our hard
Won victories to have been in
vain"
Unless the Russian machine is
stopped, he said, 1--WE will have
substituted a Kremlin for aReich-
tag, a Molloch for a Mars, a
Juggernaut Of death for a muir
derous paperhanger."
Asking for a %forceful foreign pol
icy, Bridges added that he "did
not mean that we should brandish
the zig stick nor interfere need.
Iesslv with the international poll
cies If other nations but I do
mean that we must not waver in
safeouarding all interests neces-
sarv to the welfare and security
of the United States"
Statemeyer Oheered
1t. Gen. George E. Strate-
meyer, in another thunderously-
received speech to the veterans.
called for "a regular air force
ready tor battle, comprised OF 10,
900 up-to-the-minute planes and
100000 trained men to man them"
Without such airpower the atom
bomb is worthless, the command
ing general Of the air defense com
mand said.
He added that the United States
could stack atom bombs as high
as the Empire State building, but
without airpower to deliver them
we would be better off without
Them. They would even be a LA
bflity. We would have nothing tt
stop an enemy from filling our
skies with hostile bombers to ex-
plode them in our own faces"
Stratemeyer said the air force
was gratified at its new autonomy
Of command and added that such
autonomy "gives us the flexibility
to meet future emergencies"
Air power, Stratemeyer said, is
the Sunday punch" of the coun.
try's armed forces. Part of that
Sunday punch he listed as the new
six-engined B-36 and experiments
with $4,000 pound deep penetration
bombs in addition to the atom
bomb.
