U.S.. Air Might Since End Of War
B-29s Will Make
Training Flights
Over Europe
BY the Associofed Press

SCAMPTON, England, July II.
The vanguard of go Super
Fortress bombers, carrying more
than 200 men, landed in Britain
today in the greatest show of
American air might in Europe
since the end of the war.
Manned almost wholly by crews
toughened in the battle over Japan
and Germany, the B-29s settled
down at three fields on the edge of
East Anglia, where the 9Th Air
Force organized its smashing blows
against the Nazis.
The planes flew with guns loaded,
and gunners unloaded them as soon
as the craft landed.
On arrival, the B-29s came under
command of 1t. Gen. Curtis E.
Lemay, who directed the Super
Fortresses when they bombed Japan
out of the war.
Gen. LIE May said in Wiesbaden,
Germany, that the planes will en-
gage in simulated bombing missions.
He added they probably will land at
American air bases in Germany
Sfror, time m time"
30 Other B-29s in Germany.
The Air Force now has about 80
other B-29s based at its huge air
field at Fuerstenfeldbruck in South
ern Germany.
Sixteen jet fighters are expected
to arrive in Germany next week.
The jets, en- route from Selfridge
Field, Mich, are stalled by bad
weather at Goose Bay, Labrador.
Planes from the 307th Group OF
Macdill Field, Fla, arriving by way
of Bermuda, began touching down
at Markham Field at 5:35 am, those
from the 28th Group coming from
Rapid City, s. OAK, by way of
Goose Bay began arriving at
7:20 am.
The first plane to reach Scamp
ton carried Col. John B. Henry, COM
mander of the 28th Bomber Group.
The plane was manned by the crew
of 1st 1t. William r. Mcdonald of
Detroit, who said, my crew are 100
per cent veterans of combat and SO
are most of the others coming over"
Joint Maneuvers Planned.
The crews arriving in Scampton
were greeted by 1t. Col. Daniel E.
Hawes of Rose Hill, N. c., deputy
commander of the United States
B-29 base at Furstenfeldbruck, near
Munich.
He said the groups will be ac-
companied by two to five C-54 cargo
ships each carrying ground crews
and equipment. He said each Big
has an 11-man crew aboard plus
9 or 10 spare members or ground
personnel.
Col. Hawes said the B-29s will
probably take part in joint maneu-
yers with the RAF during the stay
of two to four weeks in Britain.
"As far as I know they will not
be based on the continent during
any part of this stay" he added.
"Our bases at Furstenfeldbruck IS
the only one in Europe outside
England which could handle THESE
arplanes."
Planes Are Operational.
The 28th Air Group will be based
during the stay at this active Raj
station which has a main runway
of 1860 yards along. The 3o7th Will
be split up between Marham ana
Waddington. which also have run
ways long enough to accommodate
big bombers.
During the war all three fields
we're used by Lancasters, which car
ried heavy bomb loads to Germany.
The British Press Association
quoted Col. Henry, a resident OF
Charlotte, Tex, as saying, I'VE are
operational, but we are not prlmed

But he was emphatic in his belief
that the Jews and Arabs could
live happily together. He said:
"Of course, the Jews and Arabs
can live in peace i'm Palestine.
There is a setback in Arab-Jewish
relations at the moment; and it
may take years before mutual
confidence is fully restored. But

that, although inter-racial friction
in Palestine can flare very quick

Secondly, the problems of the

Mere on Fish Traps
(Anchorage News)

As the campaign for and against fish traps in Alaska waxes warmer in direct proportion to the proximity of election time October 12 the con- fusion over whether it is best to keep them or toss them out also becomes greater and greater
 This comes about, of course, through the battle waged by the two factions who have most at stakethe fishermen and the cannery operators.
 Throughout the campaign so far Alaska news papers have maintained calm and sensible course, most of them looking at the outcome of the con- troversy as it will effect the economic situation in Alaska The trend of opinion expressed to date is that Alaska HAS fish traps the results of whose opera tions over number of years is definitely known. What will happen this procedure is suddenly upset is not quite known Will it provide year around 1n- dustry to thousands of fishermen they maintain or will the abolition of traps do away with good sized logging industry and long preseason and post season employment stretching parts of the fish ing industry to at least nine months the operators maintain?
 Alaska newspapers that have expressed an opin- ion or trend far indicate traps should continue The latest thinking along this line Jessens Weekly at Fairbanks
 The paper takes this attitude
 we have read all the arguments pro and con on the fish trap question that comes up for vote next month and also having lived for time on the coast we can arrive at but conclusion-that the traps should be retained
 we are not associated with any interest and
 
 point of conservation, efficiency and economy we see nothing to be gained by aboshng fish traps, ana great deal to be lost.
 we have able men in the Fish and Wildfe Service whose business is to regulate the use oI lsn traps and see that sufficient number of salmon are able to reach their spawning grounds We have con- fidence in these and their ability to do ther Jop
 We see no reason for such frontal attack upon the fishing industry as the campaign against fish traps represents We hear a great deal Of criticism about the absentee ownership of Alaska industries at the same time the Alaskans urging new captal to come to Alaska It has been Outside capital that has developed both the fishing and the gold industry They put money into Alaska; they provide employ ment; they pay The fishing industry pays the lions share of the taxes that run the Ierrtory. De ssroy or severely cripple the industry by pronlothg fish traps and we strangling golden-egg laying goose that pays rich dividends to the Territory.

 Thomas referred ill this case to information he had received that Ferguson was royalty entertained by B. E. Hutchinson, general man. ager of Chrysler, and spent summer vacations with him.
 Thomas also told Ferguson he had reports that dresses which Thomas said he had heard were given to members of the Ferguson family, also referred to gifts from the Chrysler people
 Before receiving this letter Fer guson had a staff of investigators at work on Thomas and had fought several Democratic members of his Committee who wanted to drop the Thomas probe But following re- ceipt of Thomas letter, Ferguson never let out single, solitary peep.
