| Bankers on Finishing
DO -MarP Project Homes

A committee representing veterans
who made down payments on lots
and homes at the Mount Zephyr
project south of Alexandria today
were prepared to contact District
builders and bankers for advice on
possibilities Of finishing the de-
velopment.
Work at the project, where about
IS lots have been sold for up to
$l,500 each by the Bo-Mar Corp,
stopped last week.
About 40 veterans ard their wives
who have deposited money on the
project met last night at the Vet
erans' Service Center to hear re-
ports from the six-nan committee
they named Friday to study pro-
posals to complete the homes.
Julian A. Hare, chairman, told
the group the primary possibility
calls for the Colonial Investment
Co. to take over the project and
finish building the homes. The In
vestment firm has advanced about
$60, 900 In construction loans to Bo-
Mar, according to Nathaniel j..
Taube, vice president.
Mr.. Taube said, however, the COM
pany would not take any steps
unless the Bo-Mar Corp. was COM
lpletely free of debt. He said every
effort would be made to complete
the project without foreclosing a
mortgage, but he stressed that his
primary interest was to get back
the firms $4,000.
Nicholas z. Bombard, president
of the Bo-Mar firm, said the cor
poration still owes about $4,000 on
land, and that the group has other
debts for materials and construction
work. Lots have been sold to about
IS veterans, he said.
Mr.. Hare said the committee in
tends this week to contact builders
to see whether the project could be
taken over by them and completed,
or to check the possibility of the
veterans getting loan with which
to hire a contractor to finish q few
nearly completed homes. In the lat
ter case, he said, profits made on
the first few houses finished could
be applied to further construction
on others.
The veterans voted to meet again
at the center at pm. Wednesday.

Biggest U. 5. Bombers
To Continue ShunIinq
Abroad This Winter
By the Assoeiofsd Press

The United States will keep Its
biggest bombers shutting between
home bases and those in occupied
Germany and Japan throughout the
winter.
These "rotational' training flights
tried experimentally this summer
are evolving into permanent and
major part Of the Army Air Forces

Satisfied with the experimental
=, operations during the summer
months, the AAF intends to keep
the program, going on an all
weather. year-around basis, offi-
cials indicated today.
Drastic Changes Made.
While AAF leaders are reluctant
to discuss overseas strength, 1t Is
known that economy requirements
and a changing strategic concept
have brought about drastic changes
in the air-power picture abroad.
Persons visiting Europe in recent
months have noted that virtually
the only United States lombard
ment aviation there are the B-29
training missions making visits
varying from a few weeks to several
months. However, the schedule Of
tbese training missions now has
been stepped up to the point where
elements of the long-range bomber
force are almost constantly present
In the European theater.
The situation of the air forces in
the Pacific is understood to be
somewhat better than in Europe
and there, too, the rotational train
ing plan is bolstering the potential
striking force guarding the western
approaches to the United States.
Strategy Year Old.
The new strategy-a force OF very
heavy bombardment" aircraft based
In the United States but equipped
and trained to hustle to any men
aced spot in the world-began to
emerge a year ago with the creation
of the Strategic Air Command. It's
orders are to be prepared to con-
duct long-range operations in any
part of the world. at any time, either
independently or in cooperation
with land and sea forces ."
In recent months the AAF has
disclosed plans to spot elements Of
the strategic air force at bases 10
Gated on both coasts and in the
Midwest and Rocky Mountain area.
From such of these bases as are
already in use the training flights
to Europe and Japan are being
launched. Air crews flying the mis-
sions are learning the routes, the
weather and the terrain of over
seas areas for use If some future
emergency comes
The rotation plan is expected to
be used in the Alaskan defense
plan as well as for the overseas
areas. For the purposes of expand

UNIV RenewsAttack
On Boyd, Sworn In as

BY the Associotsd Press

John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers, Union has fired a new
blast at President Truman's ap-
pointment of James Boyd as direc-
tor of the Bureau of Mines and
declared that Mr.. Truman. seems
to have a happy faculty for pulling
boner."
Mr.. Boyd, q former dean of the
Colorado School of Mines at Golden,
was sworn in yesterday on an in
terim appointment made while
Congress Is in recess. He was orig
inally nominated for the post by
Mr.. Truman last March, but Con-
gress failed to confirm him after
Mr.. Lewis bitterly protested the
selection.
The UNIV Journal also criticized
Secretary of the Interior Krug for
the Boyd appointment, saying in an
editorial:
"All through this prolonged Boyd
mess and the imposing of the Boyd
incompetency upon the coal business,
we have been amazed at the appar-
ent influence that Playboy Krug has
with President Truman.
"We have asked number OF
Washington observers why President
Truman falls for Krug, and 1t is as
much of a mystery to them as 1t Is
to U.s." the editorial continued.
IT the President believes that
Playboy Krug, with p squirt men
ltality and balloonised physique, can
deliver the Western vote by his
clumsy and crude administration of
reclamation funds, then he Is Ger
tainly the only one who believes
as much"
The editorial asserted that Mr..
Krug persuaded the President" to
appoint Mr.. Boyd as chief Of the
mines bureau although Mr.. Boyd
lacked direct knowledge Of the coal
mining industry.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Boyd reported
