shooting war, when through the
chaos OF the present peace it can
continue to acquire vast territory
and an industrial potential?
We must assert our moral leader
ship and uphold the remaining free
institutions of Western Europe. Our
defense is not solely dependent upon
our fleets or our planes or our
armies. Our defense is dependent
on the belief of other countries that
we, as a people, have a vitality of
body and spirit upon which they can
draw. That is the help we must
give them-the spirit to resist while
we renew our strength and our skill.
We can't buy our way out of this
subverslve war. We must force our
way out against a resourceful and
determined opponent who knows
what he wants and is single mind
ed in his purpose.
We have seen in the, operations
OF the Soviet Union that subversive
action is made the more effective
II there is the threat behind it of
a strong, trained and developed
military force. Therefore, to coun-
ter such subversive action, we must
have such a force.
Must Intensity Research.
In addition to increasing our
naval force and our present ground
force divisions, we must intensity
our applied research and develop
program in aerodynamics, power
plants and electronics that will
make available the most modern
piloted aircraft and guided missiles.
We must also have an effective
warning system and an adequate
defense system Of intercepter planes
and ground weapons. We must have
ready for immediate retaliation a
force of combat planes with q range
and altitude and speed which will
enable them to impose heavy pun
1shment upon any nation that at
tackS us.
To man and operate these wea-
pons, we must have carefully trained
soldiers, sailors and airmen whose
minds and wills can stand the strain.
This can be attained only by con-
scription to meet the immediate
danger.
For the first time in our history
We see that we are faced with the
danger of insecurity. We must not
run away from the compelling fact
that we shall get security only if
we stand up and equip ourselves
in a moral and a practical sense
to achieve It,

The big, four -engined planes that
Russia put on display over the
weekend may provide a new insight
into her airborne army equipment
Military experts here await the
arrival Of more detailed reports
from United States diplomatic OBJ
servers at the May Day parade be-
fore analyzing what the Red Air
Force put out for show.
1t is likely that at least some OF
the big planes were the Soviet TU-
10, an aircraft bearing close re-
semblsnce to the American B-29.
The assumption has been that the
Russians copied many OF the fea-
lures of five B-29s known to have
been forced down in Soviet con
trolled areas during the war.
Photographs of the TU-70 indi-
cate it may be hybrid transport
bomber. Although its elongated fu-
selage appears to be q conventional
transport design, the plane carries
the plexiglass nose used by bonn
bardiers for sighting
The installation of bomb bay doors
df they are not indeed built into the
transport versionD and Of bomb bays
would be an easy matter of CONVEX
sion. Requiring more time would
be the addition Of defensive guns.
The Tu-70 is reported to have q
passenger capacity of 70. 1t is to be
presumed, however, that this could
be increased substantially If the
plane were used strictly as q troop
carrier.
II its performance compares with
that of wartime B-29s, the TU-7O
could carry troops and land as far
as 5000 miles from its home base
The range would be about half OF
that distance If the plane were to

whether they be Of the extreme

Thus far, theere is no proof the
Japanese can and will live under

they have depended on Gen. Mac
Arthur and his staff for inspiration
and guidance.

Bill Called Fascistic.
Mrs. Flynn's iron-gray hair escaped
from some Of her bobby pins as she
pounded home the point. She said
the provisions Of the bill for con-
trolling Communists will be carried
out "over our dead bodies"
"They can put us in Jail and
throw the key away" she shouted
IF this thing becomes law it doesn t
make any difference whether we
register or not They're out to put
us in concentration camps either
way"
Passage Of the Mundt- Nixon bill,
Mrs. Flynn said, would be the last
step into fascism" here.
She was particularly scornful OF
"the idea the Communist Party is
not real political party" She said
she got 81, 900 votes when she ran
for Congress in New York.
That's more than Mr.. Rankin
ever got" she said. "And take Mr..
Dies. He got 5000 votes and that
gave him the right to be g. Con-
gresham. At that rate, I should
have been four Congressman"
Not All Members.
Nobody in the crowd seemed wor-
ried about Mrs. Flynn's arithmetic
on this point.
Mr.. Taylor said most of the audi
ence at the rally were not members
Of the party. Certainly not all OF
them were members. When the
meeting broke up two well-dressed
middle aged women hurried to the
elevators ahead of the crowd.

thick, cultural accent, at the lega
processes which have resulted in
his conviction on charges Of con-

made false statements in applying

On bond while his cases are ap-
pealed. Eisler disclaimed personal
interest in his fate.
Situation Compared TO Nazis.

Mundt Says He Hopes
Communists Refuse
To Register, Go 10 Jail
BY the Associated Press

Representative Mundt, Republi-
can, of South Dakota said today he
hopes the Communist Party ignores
a proposed Red registration law
because we want to get them In
Jail"
William z. Foster, head of the
party, has said it will refuse to
register.
That would be one quick way OF
getting a court test" Mr.. Mundt
told reporters.
In any event, court test is q
long way off. So far, the Mundt
bill to compel the party to register
has been approved only by the
House Un-Americsn Activities Com
mittee.
But Mr.. Mundt expects the Rules
Committee to give it clearance tc
the House floor by Wednesday. He
said the House could pass it by
the end Of the week, although II
may be held over for next week
Then it will be up to the Senate.
The bill also seeks to get at Com
munist Party leaders through Grim
inal charges that they are part oi
a conspiracy to overturn the Gov
ernment.
Il think we've got it set up con-
stltutlonaly so we've got 'em
trapped" Mr.. Mundt said.
But Representative Marcantonio
American-Labor, of New York SAID
the bill clearly violates constitu-
tional guarantees of due process OF
law and freedom OF speech and
assembly.
Leading the opposition, Mr.. Mar
cantonio said there will be 40 to SO
votes against the bill. That would
not be enough to block passage in
the House, but the New Yorker said
he IS sure it will be killed in the
Senate,
Mr.. Mundt predicted that at
tempts will be made in the House
both to weaken the bill and to make
it tougher by outlawing the Com
munist Party. The Un-American
Activities Committee, he said, will
try to fight off both kinds of amend
ments and hold to the theory Of
exposure if we can"

US. Awaits Report on Red Plane
For Hints of Airborne Strenath

TU-70s, Alaska would be within
easy range for an attack by COM
mando-type Russian forces intent
upon seizing airf1elds there.
Russia is known to be giving con-
siderable attention to airborne
armies. Estimates of the size of her
airborne force range up to 100000
But to employ a force Of this
size, the Soviet Union would need
heavily stepped-up production OF
troop carrier planes, especially of
the long-range type. (Some COM
manders estimate that as many as
300 large transports are required
to move one division OF 10000
soldiers)
There are only official guesses
as to the number OF big bombers
or bomber transports that Russia
might possess.
Air Secretary Symington has
estimated that Russia may have at
least 1000 long-range bombers
Gen. Carl Spaatz, former Air Force
chief of staff, guesses that she
could produce from 500 to 1000
more a month.
The United States, which built
some 5000 B-29s during the war
has fewer than 1000 in service now
but between 1900 and 1900 in
storage.
Russia's need for a large "air
lift" for troops arises out of two
DEFICIENCIES:
l.. A comparatively small mer-
chant fleet and navy. This means
that if she had any overseas am
billions, she would have to count
heavily, in the initial strike, on air
transportation.
2. A rail system entirely made
quate to provide heavy troop trans
port to borders thousands of miles
distant. For purposes of quickly
