Russia may have more military
planes operating today than the
United States.
On the basis of official and UNI
official records available here, the
relative position of the two powers
appears to be as follows:
Russia-about $4,000 planes of al
kinds in use, the majority of which
are fighter types.
United States-about $4,000 oper-
ational aircraft, of which little
more than 5000 are Army Air Forces
and about 5000 Navy or Marine
planes, carrier and land based
(Russia's naval strength is believed
to be so small that her naval avia-
ton is of unimportant size)
These figures do not embrace re-
serve aircraft, of which the United
States possesses a number approx
imating her operational force, al
though these are in widely varying
states of readiness. The size o1
Russia's reserve is not known.
A comparison of aircraft produc-
ton potentialities is difficult, mainly
because of lack of any information
on Russian objectives or capabili-
ties. Air strategists note, however
that one important factor is that
Russia has turned away from the
idea of building up strong naval
fleet, except for submarines. This
could mean that material and man.
power otherwise used for shipbuild-
ing could be diverted to aircraft

SYDNEY, Australia, Mar PA
japanese Army captain has just
learned the war is over.
The story was told by Neil Muir
ray, correspondent for the Sydney
Sun at Rabaul, on the island OF
New Britain, in the Bismarck Archi-
pelago.
The japanese identified himself
as Kesaji Sato, about a. and told
Australian war crimes investigating
officers he had lived with inhabi-
tants of an island he called Gumashi
for almost four years.
Sato said he was attached to a
field artillery regiment on New
Britain and that in March, 1943, he
left for Lac, New Guinea, in a
convoy.
American bombers sank all the
vessels in the convoy, he said, and
thousands of japanese perished, but
he was among IS who reached the
shore. He added. however, that all
the survivors except himself were
killed when they attacked a group
of 400 Americans with swords and
bayonets they had carried from
their sinking ships.
Sato said the natives moved him
| to the island he called Gumashi
where he lived until he was taken
to Samarai by New Guinea police
10 days ago and learned of Japan's
defeat. Sato was flown to Rabaul
where he is being held under mill
tary guard. but not in the war Grim
inal pen, Mr.. Murray said.

Rubber Compromise
Appears Unlikely 10
Set 1947 Pay Pattern
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. 24.-Prices OF
rubber products may be reduced
as a result of the agreement between
the CIO-United Rubber Workers
and the big Four" rubber plans on
an liz cents hourly wage boost,
but there was no indication today
that the wage figure would set a
pattern for other industries and
create industrial peace in 1947.
In fact, a leader of one powerful
labor group declared fatty that set
tlement of the wage question in the
rubber industry would "in no way
effect" his unions demands for an
industry-wide 1914 cent boost for
more than 100000 members.
Walter P. Reuther, president OF
the CIO United Auto Workers, de-
clared at Louisville that "a settle
ment of the rubber workers issue
does not change the economic facts
connected with our demands"
The eleventh-hour rubber agree
ment was reached here early yes
terday. Approximately 10000
unionists were prepared to walk
out last midnight at plants of the
B. F. Goodrich Co., Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co., Firestone Tire &
Rubber Co. and United States Rub
Der Co.
Viewed as Compromise.
After the agreement was signed,
L. M Buckingham, attorney and
spokesman for the companies, said
he felt the 111a-cent figure, which
is retroactive to February 2, would
be construed as compromise. for
all industry, as was the 18l2-cent
auto workers increase of a year
ago.
MI. Buckingham said more than
100000 workers in the rubber indus
try would benefit from the Cleve-
land agreement. Directly affected
are the 10000 union employees of
the Big Four, whose average will
be $1.4512 an hour. In addition, he
said. clerical and other workers
in the industry not represented
by the union undoubtedly will re-
ceiVe proportionate increase and
about 100000 workers outside the
Big Four companies will inherit
the benefits.
The annual cost of the increase
to the Big Four alone will be nearly
$50000,000, he said
THE rubber industry will not
boost its prices, and as a result of
this reasonable settlement, it is al
together probable that rubber
products prices will be reduced be-
cause OF increased production.
Sees New Record Output.
RAISES will be paid not out of
an inflated sales dollar, but out of
a continued high volume of sales.
We believe the industry's all-time
record production of some 85,000.000
tires last year will be maintained,
and may be expanded, this year.
More automobiles will be pro-
duced in 1947 than in 1916. Original
equipment demand will be expanded,
and there still is large outlet for
replacement tires and other prod
uctS.'
L. S. Buckmaster, international
union president, was not so jubilant
over terms of the agreement.
Actually, I'm not entirely salts
fed with the final settlement" ne
told neWsmen. II had hoped it
would be better, but still it prob
ably should be acceptable to most
of our people.
The ones who will suffer are
those many persons, $4,000 in the
Big Four alone, who work six-hour
days. Those people average only
about 35 hours week"
The agreement provides for re-
opening of negotiations at the end
of 120 days on Is days written notice
by either party ION local plant
basis unless otherwise agreed"
