T.. s. AIR DEFENSES

What is the readiness of the United States Air Force to defend the United States today? Francis and Katherine Drake in the current of Atlantic Monthly give at least a partial answer. Their con- clusion is that in the the United States is almost as poorly prepared to defend itself all services the Pacific when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Is talk of atomic bombs and supersonic planes and guided missiles to lul us again into a sense of false security?
 The United States has today in combat readiness some 1,4OO airplanes. It has approximately OO0oO consists of eight heavy bomber groups-144 B-29s. But the Drakes point out, the B-29 is obsolete weapon. For effective counter-attack with atom bombs on any woud-be aggressor the B-29 groups would have to be based within 1900 miles of enemy targets It is true have far better faster planes of greater range But they not yet in production The B-36 is the only fully tried, and only 100 of those order They to be delivered a two-year period There is only prototype of the B. 50 and of the et-propelled bombers in existence It probably would take months to get them into produc tion if emergency should develop.
 What is the answer? More men, more planes more research-and all this takes money. How much more Nne and developments must determine The Atlantic Monthly article estimates that to give a sonable guarantee of safety against attack the United States should maintain air striking force of 900 new-eype long-range bombers, complete with crews maintained in combat readiness at all times capable of striking anywhere in the world from the United States" The Drakes do not estimate how much this would cost but it probably would be several times the 194748 Air Force budget of S850 100000 (Which does not include pay and allowances. But if it prevented attack, who would quibble about the cost?
 No one likes to see money used for military pur- poses that could be better spent housing and soil

A few days later. General Oliver was re- moved from his command. If Dewey is nominated on the COP ticket, his henchmen say Senator Irving Ives will be nominated for Governor, with General Wild Bill Donovan nominated for the Senate. Apparently this would pay off a long standing debt to Donovan, who was refused the Dewey nod for the Senate in 1946.

ROW OYER ARMY BASE

The Army is caught in a tug oi~war between two big western states. The prize is the Sixth Ar my's depot. given to Utah for safe keeping during the war. Now Cali fornia, wants it back. The political strength is on the side of Cali fornia, but Utah is saving up for a last supreme effort.
 California IS CIlering facilities at Stockton that will match Utah's new $56,000,000 depot at Ogden and also argues that moving the depot to the coast will reduce freight rates. Actually the railroads charge an in- transit rate which allows reship ment from Utah at no increase, but this does net apply to Army goods heading overseatc.
 Manipulating Ine political strings for California is Congressman Le Roy Johnson of Stockton, backed by the California Congressional delegation. He has already Wangled promise from the Army to pack of the supplies to Stockton.
 Undaun,eG. Utah sent its trans portation consultant on industrial affairs, H. w Prickett, to Wash ington, who managed to eke out a new promise-still unofficial-from the Army. They would not move the supply depot, they agreed, if the freight rates could be adjusted on overseas goods. Prickett next talked the railroads into changing their ruling. arguing that Califor- nia's intra-state railroads would get the business otherwise Now all that is left to do is convince the Interstate Commerce Commission. Their okay is necessary for any change in interstate freight rates. tCcpYRIGHT, 1947, BELL SYNDICATE. INc)

MYSTERIOUS SHOWDOWN

Last spring, however, Assistant Attorney General Wendell Beree who had worked Up the case, re- signed Succeeding him in charge of antitrust came John Sonnett, aide to Secretary Forrestal during the war and former assistant to John Cahill, now defending the Forrestal banking firm.
 Suddenly prosecution of the Wall Street moguls was held up. For weeks it dragged along. Nothing happened. Sonnett is an Al law yer, did great job when it came to stopping John L. Lewis. But when it came to going after Wall Street and the old Forrestal bank ing firm, Sonnetts stock reply was: I'm studying the case
 Finally, Wall Street passed out word that a compromise was in the works, that the Justice Depart ment would call off the case in la vor of a consent decree.
 At this point, however, the Wall Streeters made a serious error They pulled a refinancing deal foI the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company, and in doing so followed their usual practice of relegating local Ohio bankers to a third-rate cut of the financial pie. This brought storms of protest from the Midwest. Also it brought the whole business before President Truman himself.
 Mir. Truman has had long and consistent record, both in the Sem ate and White House, for enforcing the antitrust laws. So what the Wall Street lawyers didn't know when they negotiated. with the antitrust division yesterday was that President Truman had sent word over to the Justice Depart

 At first it was expected that the Admiral and his party would fly the 40 miles to Pensacola by Navy plane.
