.Silvermaster Not Spy, He Says

WASHINGTON, (P) - Nathan Gregory SilvermaSter SWore to- day he never was spy for any foreign nation, but admitted that naval intelligence authorities once sought his removal from govern ment service.
 Tn the witness chair of the House un-American activities committee, Silvermaser also re- fused to answer questions as to whether he ever had been a com munist. His refusal was on the grounds he might incriminate himself.
 The committee members then put back on the stand Elizabeth T. Bentley, the former communist who originally brought the charg- es of espionage against Silver master. She said again that he is the man she knew during the war who turned secret information over to her for relay to the Rus Sians.

NBy The ASSOclateu freSS'
 The buoyancy of the three western power envoys as they emerged from their long talk with Stalin in the Kremlin raised hope the Russians might ease the cold war tension between the west and east.
 The U. s. and French ambassa- dors and a special envoy of Bri- tain talked with the Soviet Prime Minister two and a quarter hours Monday night. They came out smiling and in good spirits. Sta lin gave them more time than he ever has before to foreign diplo- mats Foreign minister Molotov also was present.
 Walter Bedell Smith of the U. S., Frank Roberts of Britain and Yves Chataigneau of France went immediately to the American em- bassy for another conference. They rushed up three flights of stairs without awaiting the eleva- tor. Smith, after laughing banter, said:
 "Generalissimo Stalin and MT. Molotov received us all at a meet ing. There probably will be a communique to that effect to- night
 The communique was devoid of news. The western power capitals were silent lest premature talk ruin future prospects.
 The feeling was general that the ambassadors told Stalin some thing like this:
 The United States, Britain and France desire deeply to cooperate with Russia on reasonable, friendly basis. Cooperation works both ways. The governments of the western powers will not be intimidated. Berlin is four power city, and Russia may not

This is the Strategic Air Com
mand, global force with the job
of acting as Uncle Sans No. l
striking arm. SAC observed its Sec
ond anniversary March 81.
Under Minimum Strength
The command includes two Air
Forces, the 9Th and the 18th, dis
posed at dozen widely spaced bases.
The exact strength is restricted in
formation, but it has somewhat less
than half Of the 750 bombers recon-
mended by the Presidents Air Policy
Commission as readiness minimum.
The 9th, under Maj. Gen. Roger
M. Ramey, with headquarters at
Carswell Airbase, Fort Worth,
Tex, is familiar with atom bomb
technique. Gen. Ramey directed air
operations during the 1916 Bikini
tests and has the same assignment
in the next atomic exposition ex-
erciSe.
Both Air Forces send their B-29s
(the only type of bomber now in use)
regularly to Europe, Japan, Alaska
and the Caribbean to become
familiar with facilities and condi-
tions in those areas. Within the
limits of safety required in peace
time, they are operating on war
time footing. Working hours are
long. Weather is ignored.
The men do not generally COM
plain about this, Gen. Ramey told
a reporter visiting some key spots
in SAC. But wives sometimes tire

bombers usually in squadron) left
Carswell Field in Texas recently, its
planes were sent by three different
routes, with orders to assemble at
specified hour over Brest, France.
They did it.
Three of the planes were required
to fly nonstop to the Azores, more
than 1000 miles. Half of the planes
of another squadron few nonstop
from the Azores to Rapid City,
S. Oak, en- route home.
All such flights could be made
with bomb load. SAC planes carry
the equivalent of bomb weight in
extra men and spare parts or equip
ment.
Gen. George C. Kenney, COM
manding general of SAC, is empha-
sizing longer range through cruise
control" That simply means more
efficient operation of the plane, sup
ported by better maintenance.
Planning range with the B-29 has
increased 80 per cent since Gen.
Kenney began squeezing more miles
out OF gas tank. During the Pa
cific war the B-29 had an opera
tional radius of 1000 miles. Now
that has been increased to 1000
miles or more.
Every crew is required to make at
