AIR FORCE PLANS
new GL0BAL REACH
OF TWO BIG UNITS
All Angles Of Defense Are
Discussed Including Re-
fueIing Base in Alaska
BY ELTON G. FAY

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-tR-
The Air. Force IS trying to stretch
the global reach of both the pres
ent workhorse of its bomber force,
the Bog Superfortress, and the
giant new B-36.
This was disclosed in two devel-
opments today:
I. Word that fleets of flying
"tankers" are planned for six of
the groups OF strategic bombers
operated by the Air Force. These
converted B-29's will be used to
refuel the Superfortress bombers
along their route to target, thus
extending their range.
2. Tests of a B-36 with new
engines or more power and presum-
ably greater fuel economy to pro-
.ide more speed and range.
The Air Force has high hopes
fer the aerial refueling system. Air
Secretary Symington told Con-
gressional committee last spring
that with such a system B-29's
could bomb any part of Russia
rom bases in Alaska and Labra-
der
Technique and equipment de-
yeloped in f.ir Force experiments
for more than a year are believed
to have evolved system whereby
a Superfortress could be filled with
virtually a full load of gasoline in
fifteen minutes while flying along
he course to distant target
1t was learned today the cur
rent plans contemplate equipping
six groups Of Boeing's B-29's for
aerial refueling. In doing this, the
size of the groups will be expand
ed not only by adding the tanker
B-29's but by putting more COM
bat bombers in each group.
The Air Force is described as
proposing to keep the composition
e a B-29 group at three squadrons,
Aub GdCH SQudQlOll WOuiu nave ~
instead of 10 bomberS. The total
lumber o. bcmbers and tankers in
a group would be IS instead of the
current 80 bombers only.
The Air Force announced that
flight tests of the six-engined B.
SO will be completed about mid
December
The tests are beng mace from
he Fort Worth, Texas, plant of
Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Cor
poration with production model
of the hugh bomber The model
is fitted with six Pratt and Whit
ney engines developing $500 horse
power each on take-off Earlier
models have used a 3000-horse-
power engine,
The new engines, said the Air
Force, have improved the B-36's
performance, including rate OF
climb, ceiling and speed.
The Air Force has ordered "a
B-36s, some of which have been
delivered.

Great Leadership
Cincinnati Enouirer)


 Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg's summing up of the case for the European Recovery Program in the tradition of great statesman It is likely to be decisive in winning the Senate's approval of pro- gram which probably would not it's purpose if pared below the levels proposed by the Foreign Relations Committee
 Senator Vandenberg does not put the case simply in terms of stopping Russia He speaks rather of the PTS 100000 people to benefit by the working of the Recovery Program and the necessity for staying off their collapse and for rebuilding their economy It is net simply by countering Soviet pressure. but by a constructive effort to rebuild Western Europe that we have chance to set limits the vast westward movement of despotic system inimical to our way of life
 Events have conspired to give dramatic emphasis to Senator vandenberg's plea The topping of 14OO0- 900 C2echs and Slovaks into the orbit of the Soviet Union is the backdrop for his argument The grave threat Finland yet unresolved is like the sinister light that plays the stage to confer an atmosphere of tension.
 Senatcr Vandenberg spoke in terms of an initial appropriation of S53OO0oO0O0 for 12 months This is slightly less monthly basis, than the much larger figure requested by the President for a 15-month initial period The small reduction does not endanger the working of the plan whole. Yet it would enable Congress to reexamine it's aotments less than year from now It preserves the flexbility the plan needs in such turbulent times as these
 There have been danger signals ill recent months hints that the Marshall Plan would be turned into a partisan question &hints that the issue of aid to Europe would be thrust into the presidential cam paign Most of the active asprants to the Republican presidential nomination have quarreled with some phases of the plan. although endorsing the basic idea
 Senator vandenberg. who is potential candidate of very great ability and prestige but not an active seeker of the office has held firmly to the bipartisan concept of foreign policy His readiness to stand souarely with the leadership of the opposition party for effective aid to Europe is now proving its great value to the country.
 This complete willingness to set the national ahead of any personal party considerations is characteristic of the Michigan Senator And it is one further evidence of his equipment for the highest office the exgences of politics in the course of the spring and summer should turn the spotlight his way

TRUMAN FINDS HIS MAN

At long last, President Truman has found a man willing to be- come head of the Civil Aeronautics Board He is Joseph OConnen conscientious ex-counsel of the Treasury Department now pri- vate attorney.
 When Truman bounced James Landis as Civil Aeronautics Chair man after long years of faithful service, three months went by and the President could find no one to fill Landis' shoes. A small army of people were offered the job, including Tom Finletter, author of the air-policy report, and Gen. Laurence Kuter, who, however, the Senate vetoed
 Now Truman has offered the job to O'Connell. Joe came to Washington from New York in the first days of the Roosevelt administration, worked his way up through the Public Works Admin istration, finally became top law yer for the Treasury.
