Plan Fight Ln Extra Cong

 Flying 10 England; Bombers
 May laier Go Into Germany

WASHINGTON July l6.-R- The Air Force announced today that 50 B-29's are enroute to Eng land for short" training visit there.
 The big bombers, comprising two groups, will make the trip over two routes, one by way of Labrador and the other via Bermuda.
 In England USAF officials said, the American formations will be guests of the Royal Air Force, using three RAF bases while there.
 While there was no announce ment from the air force, it was considered probable that some of the B-29s will make training flights out of England to United States bases in Germany.
 The superfortresses are crossing the Atlantic in the wake of the American cargo fleet recently sent into Germany to fly food into Soviet -blockaded Berlin.
 The training trip greatly aug ments U. s. air strength in Eu- rope at a time when Russia is threatening to slam shut the air corridors into the beleaguered Ger man capital.
 Douglas C-54 planes will trans port maintenance personnel and for the B-29's. Each sup effcrtress carries both regular and spare crews. Altogether, about l 500 personnel will be involved in the training operation.
 Colonel Stanley Wray of Muncie, Ind. will be local oDmmander of the two groups while thsy are in Europe
 The 28th group from the Rapid City, s. D., airforce base will fly to Goose Bay, and thence to Scampton, England
 The 307th Group from MacDili Base, Tampa, Fla, will fly to the American Field in Bermuda, Base, and thence to Eng land
 Abroad, the B-29's will come un- der the control of It. General Cur tis K. LeMay, commander of the United States Air Forces in Eu- rope, who presumably would de- eide on whether any of them will make training flights into Ger many

Use Military or Start Re- fdIiatory Action, Other
 Parts of World
WESTERN ALLIES MUST
 NOW MAKE STRONG MOVE
Russia Is Using Millions as PdWns 10 Gain Aims
 in Germany
By IVES GALLAGHER

BERLIN. July l6.- R- Only two courses of action have any hope of breaking the Soviet blockade which is strangling this city and bringing Europe closer to war than at any time since Munich.
 The first is the use of Western Power military forces to crash the land blockade.
 The second is retaliatory action by the West in other parts of the world which would make it too costly for the Soviet Union to continue it's Berlin policy.
 This is the common belief of the Western Allies and the Ger mans who have seen the Russian action at first hand for three years. They believe further that the Soviet Union has killed inter- national diplomacy in the accepted sense.
 Soviet rejection of the Western Powers notes surprised none here. It was expected. No one dealing with the Russians in Berlin in the past three years has any hope that any note or protest would have any effect on Soviet policy. This includes any United Nation or World Court action.
 Two Aims Of Russia
 In the simplest terms, 100000 Germans and 25,000 Western Allies in Berlin are being held as pawns by Russia to achieve her aims in Germany.
 These aims are principally two. The first is establishment of a strong German government on the Soviet model dominated by the Communists.
 The second is Soviet voice in the economic life of Germany. principally in the industrial Ruhr.
 The Western Allies cannot con- tinue the air lift to Berlin for ever First, the cost is enormous. Second, it is bound to cost more lives. And third, it can never full fill all Western Berlin's needs.
 In the long run effective mea- sures must be taken to smash the blockade
 Fight If Necessary
 The most drastic would be to send an armored column up the international highway leading to the city, announcing to the Russ ians that the Western Allies will fight their way through if nec- essary.
 This would leave it up to the Soviet union whether they want war or peace.
 There is every indication they want peace and would not fight.
 The second action that could be taken would be for the Western Powers to exert the same type of technical squeeze on the Soviet Union in the rest of the world that the Russians are exerting.
 Technical difficulties might be found with the accreditation of Soviet representatives in Japan making it necessary for them to leave. Soviet ships could be held indefinitely in quarantines in U. s. harbors.
 The Panama Canal could develop the same type of trouble as Ger many's canal leading to Berlin.
