AirSuperioityNeeded
For Victory in a War,
'5ymington Asserts
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, July 17.-"You
cannot win war without air superb
ority and you cannot lose one with
it," according to Air Secretary j.
Stuart Symington.
"The American taxpayer has
placed his money on air power" he
declared last night at banquet of
the Institute of Aeronautical Sci
ences. 1T is the best possible de-
fense against possible attack by any
power"
Secretary Symington scoffed at
any concept of American isolation
ism. THE protection of the two
oceans" he said, has been ended
forever by the discovery of and flight
over the so-called Polar route"
Praises B-36.
The Secretary congratulated the
assembled air technicians and
scientists on such achievements as
surprising the speed of sound, new
refueling techniques which add
great range to bombers, and other
developments. He especially praised
the B-36 bomber which, he said,
performs at maximum range better
than any bomber now operating.
Earlier at a press conference, the
Air Secretary said the Air Force will
rely largely on volunteers to build
up to the 70-group limit. He ex-
poets only $4,000 recruits through
Selective Service and many times
that number from the air-training
program and from voluntary reas-
signment of aircrewmen trained in
World War II.
Regarding the sending of B-29
Super Fortresses to England for
training" Secretary Symington
said: 1--WE just want to show them
that our B-29s can get around II
necessary" He did not elaborate.
Predicts improvement In Jets.
He predicted great improvement
in the performance Of American Jet
fighter planes, adding that recent
United States models of the Psi
and PAT propeller fighters have
about reached their maximum In
performance. -
A highlight of the institutes BAN
quet was the presentation of awards
to two pilots for outstanding
achievements in aviation.
Herbert H. Hoover, test pilot for
the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics, received the Octave
Chanute award for being the first
man to fly plane faster than the
speed of sound.
James M. Gillespie, a former Air
Force colonel who commanded the
push-button plane flight across the
Atlantic last September, received
the Thurman H. Bane award for
that achievement.
