 The former Naval Reserve cap tain said he sent out a tooklet, 'the Strategic Bombing Myth to fellow publishers after 1t had been pup lished in the Banner.
 The 54-page booklet, Stahlman said, exploded the myth of strategic bombing. It's contents, he added were taken from official records most of it from the Air Force files itself and none of which is in any way restricted"

SHIPS CRASH DURING GALE; i GOES DOWN

BERWICK, Eng. Oct. 18.-tR-- The British Aircraft Carrier AL eion and small coal freighter -ollided in a. gale. in the North Sea today. The freighter sank swiftly and eight hours later only three of the 24 crewmen aboard were known to have survived.
 Lifeboats fought the foaming waves hunting survivors near the Farne Islands eight miles off the northeast coast of England.
 The newly huilt. l8,500-ton Albion was manned by civilian crew and was in tow to drydock for comple- ton. The collision rammed hole in the carrier and she was reported taking water.
 The Albion had aboard three sur- vivors from the freighter, the D. 025-ton Maystone, carrying coal to London. A spokesman for the own CTS of the Maystone, said lifeboat crews still at sea had some hopes of picking up other survivors.

MAKING OF
 AUTOS MAY
 BE STOPPED
Supplies Reported Run- ming Low-SeveraI Hun
 dred Thousands Be Out
tBy The Associated Pressl

(By The Associated Press)
 The nations steel strike--if there is no quick settlement--appears headed to land staggering blow to the countrys automobile indus try.
 Many of the car and truck mak- CTS, their steel supplies dwindling because of the l8 day old strike, apparently are faced with early shutdowns of three weeks or more.
 The shutdowns, which an indus try source said may start early next month if steel shipments are not resumed by next Monday, will make idle several hundred thous- andn auto workers.
 The nations strike idle now is about 100000.
 The steel walkout already has made idle some 450.0O0 workers.
 The country's second major labor dispute has put 100000 soft coal workers on the strike lines. The walkout of 16,00O to 10000 CIO United Steelworkers in nine plants of the Aluminium Company of America started yesterday.
 The steel strike started by work CTS in the basic plants Oct. 1 in the dispute over free pensions is spreading to the fabricating com- panies. Hundreds of fabricators which deal with the CIO-USW face strikes when their strike headlines expire between now and Dec. l5. About 20 fabricators have signed new agreements with the union.
 Tn Detroit, a top auto industry executive, who asked anonymity, said: sIf we keep going and use up all the steel we have on hand it will take three or four weeks to store up enough more to permit re- sumption of car and truck output"
 The shutdowns would delay new model changeovers by the General Motors. Chrysler and possibly Ford. Ford produces some of its own steel
 Government labor officials, how ever, moved to effect settlements in both the steel and coal strikes. If they do not succeed, it was indi- cated, President Truman will be given the job of trying to bring peace between the disputants.
 Cyrus s. Ching, federal mediation service chief, planned to meet with officials of the U. s. Steel Cor poration tomorrow.

SURVEY, ALASKA RAIL LINK, NOW
 UP TO pRESIDEh1

WASHINGTON. Oct. 18.-R-- Presidential approval was awaited ,cday on a bill proposing an Alaska Railroad survey, a project describ- ed by Senator Magnuson tD-Wash) as of supreme military import lncc."
 The measure, which authorizes the President to negotiate with Can ada to survey railroai from Prince George, B O., to Fairbanks, was passed unanimously by the sen ate yesterday after previous House approval.
 The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, reporting on the mea- sure yesterday, noted that military survey in 1942 indicated such a railroad was practical and could be built for about $l12,c00,000
 The committee said it felt the survey should be brought up to date, and added
 "The present bill will accomplish this purpose and will provide a firm oasis of fact on which decision 10 close this gap must be made"
 Under the bill, the President IS authorized to negotiate with Can ada for standard gauge railroad for the Prince George-Fairbanks gap. It provides for survey 10 oe- termine the most practicable route, as well as construction plans es- inmates of cost and financing plans
 The President would designate such existing agenices as he may select to conduct the survey.

WALLGREN UP
 ONCE MO RE; POWER JOB!

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-tR- President Truman today named former Gov. Mon c. Wallgren of Washington State as a member of the Federal Power Commission.
 The President, at. the same time, nominated James M. Mead, former Democratic Senator from New York to be a member of the Federal Trade Commission.
 Wallgren was chosen to succeed Leland s. Olds whose nomination for a third term on the Power Commission was rejected by the Senate in one of its major rebuffs to the President.
 Wallgren's own nomination to the post of chairman of the National Security Resources Board was shelved last March by the Senate Armed Services Committee in an- other setback for MT. Truman.
 The President two months later withdrew that nomination.
 Wallgren's new nomination also is subject to Senate confirmation.
 However, Senators who opposed him for the Resources Board said they would have no objection to his appointment to another post
 Both Wallgren and Mead are former members of the old Senate war Investigating committee which was known as the Truman commit tee when it was headed by Mir Truman, then a member of tht Senate.
 Mead was named to the Trade Commission to succeed Garland s Ferguson for the term of sever years from Sept 26, 1948.

5YkINGT0N HITS NAVY
 IN REBUTTAL
Hints Second Anonymous Paper Circulating
 Beriding B-36

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-tR- Air Secretary Symington, hitting back at Navy critics of the Air Force, accused them today of peddling old, false" tales and of letting possible enemies know "how this country would te defended
 Symington hinted, too, that the Navy is circulating second anony- nous document. He said one is in circulation that attempts to rip apart strategic Lombing and is far mere dangerous than the first
 Symington was before the House Armed Services Committee; lead- ing off the Air Force rebuttal to Navy complaints against defense policies.
 In long hearings, the Navy has complained that present policy puts to much stress on the Air Force B-36 big bomber and cuts down on the Navy.
 B-36 STILL BEST"
 Admiral after Admiral has taken the stand to belittle the possibilit- ies of the bomber. Their general contention has teen that the big plane could not get through an enemys defenses and would ac- complish little if it did.
 Symington said the B-36 still is the best long-range bo m Der known
 He added:
 The ability to fight from our own shores at the start of any war should not te locked on with con- .empt."
 The B-36 was designed with the idea that it would be able to fly from bases in this country on mis- sions against an enemy in any part of the world.
 "BOMBING MYTH"
 Major missions would be hitting war production centers of the ene- my.
 This type of air war is called "stra- tegic bopbing.'
 Symington, when he told of the new anonymous document, said it is entitled "the strategic bombing myth"
 He said it is circulating around the country and has disturbing similarity" to arguments the com- mittee has been hearing from the Navy-even identical quotations.
 It is far more dangerous than the first document, Symington went on, because it attacks methods, prin- ciples, and otjectives upon which the country must rely in the event of war.
 The first anonymous document which has figured in the Navy-Air Force row was circulated on Cap itol Hill last summer. It suggested that the B-36 procurement pro- gram was surrounded by irregular ities and instances of political pull.
 It touched off an investigation by the House committee. Finally, Ced- ric Worth, then a Navy depart ment official. admitted he wrote it.

SENATE PUTS OK ON 58 AIR
 FORCE GROUP
House Wins Over Senate Alaska Progdm Is
 Given in Detail
BY DON WHITEHEAD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-lR- Final Senate agreement to give the Air Force enough money for 5S combat groups shook loose a $15,- 585,863,49 appropriation for tine Armed Services today.
 In this and two other bills, the lawmakers mirrored their deep dis trust of Communist Russia by plan ming to spend over $17000, ,0000 000 for military defenses at home and across the seas.
 Senate and House committees reached agreement late yesterday to pour these billions into the greatest peacetime military spending pro- gram this nation ever has under taken in single year.
 Included in the total is $1,S14,- 0l0,00O for nations lined up with the United States in the cold war against Russia-the bulk of it to western Europe.
 Also, $157,611,700 is earmarked for military construction in Alaska and on the Pacific Island of Okin- ava.
 RADAR SCREEN TO START
 A $50,000,000 item provides for the start of construction on Ra- dar screen to guard the United States from enemy air attack.
 The votes which will send the money bills to the White House are expected to be a mere formal ity.
 The size 58 air force calls for ten more groups than President Tru- man had requested.
 This was a victory for the House over the Senate which had fought for a 48-group force. The Senate conferees finally capitulated in con- ference last night to the unbudging House demands for the expanded air force. The makeup of group varies, from 30 big bombers to 75 fighters. About 400 combat planes of all types could be added with the extra money provided.
 SENATE WON'T FIGHT
 Senator Lucas of Illinois, Demo- crat floor leader, said there will be no organized fight against the military appropriations bill when
 
 it reaches the Senate.
 The Alaska -Okinawa program was divided as follows: Army con- struction $32, 100000 cash and s48.- 363,700 contract authority; Navy petrol reserve No. 4, Point Barrow, $5,OOO,OO0; Bureau of Yards and Docks $10,0OO,OO0 cash and Sl5,- 414,0O0 contract authority; Air Force $2O,00O,OOO cash and $28,- 834,O0O contract authority.
 In addition, the Senate committee voted $2,0O0,000 cash and $S,00O,OOO

SEATTLE, Oct. I8.-tP-A mick of time" rescue saved IT seamen from the wind-frothed north Pac- fife last night atfer fire turned their wooden lumber schooner, the Sa- lima Cruz, into a blackened, broken hulk.
 The officers and men were pick ed up by the U. s. Fish and Wild life Service vessel Balck Douglas just as one of their two lifeboats was awash and sinking.
 The Douglas reported early to- day all of the sailors had recov- cred from their ordeal, and she was proceeding to her home port of San Francisco. Arrival there was expected Thursday.
 The dramatic rescue a few hours after nightfall 140 miles west Of Grays Harbor, Wash, was carried out in heavy seas kicked up by a 25knot wind. Coast Guard search planes that had been circling over- head throughout the day guided the Douglas to the scene.
 Seven in Sinking Boat Ten of the men in one of the open lifeboats had managed to keep afloat without difficulty. They were the first ones spotted by the Douglas. An hour later, after the second boat had sent up direction flares, the seven remaining surviv- ors were pulled from their founder ing craft.

 WASHINGTON John L. Lewis is now about as sore at U. s. Steel as his once friend, now rival CIO chief Phil Murray. This was be- hind John LIS sudden walkout from the conference with northern op- orators at White Sulphur Springs, Va, and here is the inside story of what happened.
 Lewis had put a "feeler" to nor thern owners that they settle the strike by increasing the 20-cent welfare fund payments to 30 cents a ton. Also, Lewis suggested a small, straight wage increase, plus a seven-hour at the same wages the miners now receive for eight hours work.
 All this was not a take-it t-or- leave-it demand, but suggested basis for negotiation. The miner boss made it clear that he was chiefly interested in boost in , welfare-fund payments.
