) Hours With Record
100000 Pound Load
BY the As.oeiated Press

FORT WORTH. Tex. April Is.
A twin Of the famed B-36
bomber took of. few nearly three
hours and landed with 100. 900
pound load last night.
1t was the greatest weight ever
taken aloft.
And the plane, the XC-99. was
still relatively light. Ray o. Ryan.
Convair division manager, said.
Convair made the craft. Gross
weight was 277,000 pounds. in
cluding the test load. Mr.. Ryan
called the fight highly Sue
cessful."
The weight was comparable to
400 men with combat equipment,
which it was designed to carry.
1t also will be able to fly 300 litter
cases with their attendants.
Company officials stressed that
the flight was no stunt" but a
part of the regular testing pro-
gram required by the Air Force
before it accepts the huge craft.
The flight was the ships tenth.
1t took off at $40 pm. and
landed at $40 pm. B. A. Erick-
son, Convair's chief test pilot, was
at the controls. F. Keen was CO.
pilot.
The previous load lifting record
was believed established here
January 20 when a B-36 took of
with $4,000 pounds of dummy
bombs.
The plane was brought here in
February from San Diego to allow
notifications found successful
with the B-36.
Six pusher-type motors with
5000 horsepower each power the
XC-99. Its Widespread is 230 feet,
same as the B-36 and the British
"Brabazon," a commercial plane
being groomed for its maiden
flight next month. The XC-99 has
a double -decked fuselage 1872 feet
long-compared to the l63-foot
B-36 and the 177-foot Brabazon.
The craft Is designed for a

This Changing World
United Nations Seen Being Reorganized
By Atlantic Pact to End Soviet Vetoes

in the failure of the Western Pow
ers to include her In the recently
concluded alliance. She feels
herself threatened by the Soviet
bloc and insists that the Atlantic
Pact must be supplemented BY q
Mediterranean arrangement which
win lengthen the line OF defense
against Soviet aggression.
Foreign Minister Necmedin
Sadak this week presented his ar
guments for such an alliance di-
rectly to Secretary Acheson. The
consistency of such a pact with
the rest of American foreign policy
is obvious. We already have the
Truman doctrine for aid to Greece
and Turkey in defending them
selves against Soviet aggression.
What must we look for In the
future, If the Mediterranean pact
becomes q reality?
Needed in Middle East.
There Is further need for a Mid
die Eastern alliance. in which
Iran and Iraq, both Of which now
are under increasing Russian
pressure, will find assurance Of de-
fense. A Soviet move into those
countries would be as inimical TO
Western interests as Communist
victory in Greece, for we will have
to depend In the future on the
Middle East for a large part OF
our oil supplies. It Is Russia s
pur pose to close of that source Of
That these alliances will come
we have every reason to be conf
dent. They will take time, how
ever, for the American Congress
is still digesting the North Attain
tic Pact, and action on a Mediter-
ranean pact is likely to await final
ratification in the Senate.
When the new structure has
been completed we will have a
solid defense line running through
the middle of Europe and inclos-
ing all Southern and Southeast
ern Europe and the Middle East.
Furthermore. we will have a
new United Nations" where the
veto does not prevail, as a tenn
porary peace-preserving agency
until such time as the United Ma
tions itself can be made effective.

moved by two fixed convictions.
One is that war with Russia is in
evitable and we should be prepared
to win it. The other is that war is
not likely to occur if we are fully
prepared. Virtually all the speeches
stressed the idea that the best way
to preserve peace is to prepare
for war; that Russia may behave
if confronted with our full might.
Most of us have given up the
attempt to understand the
psychological processes OF the
Russians and their rulers. But we
do know that the Russian govern
ment has sought consistently to
convince the Russian people that
the United States plans to attack
their country. The same day the
House was acting Deputy Foreign
Minister Gromyko was declaring
in New York that the Atlantic
Pact is part Of our preparation
for aggression.
Some OF Things Said.
We would much prefer to have
the Russians think otherwise. It
may be useful therefore to ponder
over the possible effect Of some
of the things that were said in
the House debate. Assuming. as
one fairly may, that Russian
propagandists would have seized
and perhaps have already done
so-on only those sentences that
would serve their purpose, here
are some quotations from the
speeches:
Mr.. Mahon of Texas: Would
not the gentleman also point out
- that this is the greatest So
called peacetime military budget
in the history of this Nation?"
MIR. Vinson of Georgia: "Oh,
yes: it may be the greatest that
has ever been written. Q"
Mfr. Short of Missouri: II voted
against that $500, 100000 (for
ECA) yesterday because I believe
that $1,000 ,000, 900 in atom bombs
and In B-36s will do more to stop
communism than anything else
this Nation could do. - This
budget is shocking; it Is stagger-
ing: but 1t is necessary. - We
want q strong air army and the
grandest and best navy In the
world, stronger than all others
combined.r
Cannon's Statement.
Mr.. Cannon of Missouri: The
establishment of every great mill
tary power in history has been
founded upon the development Of
q new weapon. But In order
to be effective the atomic bomb,
powerful and deadly as it is. Is
useless unless delivered to its tar
get. Only land-based bomb
ers could reach Moscow with q
lethal charge. With the signing
Of the Atlantic pact we would
have ample land bases and within
q week we could blast every nerve
center. every center Of commune
cation and production. every mill
tary concentration and every naval
submarine and air base. -
''Of course. q war could not be
won by air power alone. But
under the Marshall Plan and the
Atlantic pact we shall have allies
with troops and ships. . Why
