Admiral Denfeld said that the
current safety regulations are ade-
quate. but added that the "indi-
vidual pilot is responsible for OBJ
serving these directives to prevent
loss of life and damage to public
property.
Flight safety must be contin-
uously stressed in all echelons of

A Naval Aviation circular let

craft. Pilots Of Naval aircraft
shall not fly acrobatically or er-

On August Is, the Navy called
a conference of its own air per-
sonnel, Air Force officers and the
civilian commercial pilots associa-
ton to discuss safety regulations.
It's general purpose was to ascer-
tain what could be done to pre-
vent such accidents as the Fort

Can't Police Air at All Times.
Rear Admiral L. A. Moebus, as
sistant chief of Naval operations
for air, said that the consensus
at that conference was that the
regulations were adequate, but
that enforcement furnished a
problem. Admiral Moebus said
it is impossible to police the air
at all times.
However, he said that the serv-
ice would like to get the number
and type of any stunting planes
and that prompt disciplinary
measures would be taken.
If any cases are too serious to

Naval air officers believe that
Navy flight regulations are ade-
quate, if complied with. to prevent
stunting that imperils civilian
lives. To back up the regulations.
the Navy applies stern disciplinary
measures against personnel found
guilty of unauthorized stunting,
including low flying and buzzing
of civilian planes.
However, the matter is being
studied further as result of the
accident near Fort Dix. N. j., on
July 80, when Naval plane, oper-
ated by 1t. Robert v. Poe, 25,
Fairfax, Va, collided with an East
ern Air Lines plane resulting in the
deaths of Is persons.
The difficulty in enforcing the
regulations. it was explained. has
been in identification of planes
against which complaints of stunt
ing have been made. Civilians un-
familiar with aircraft who report
violations, usually are unable to
give the type of plane or the num-
ber of the aircraft concerned.
When reports are received, how
ever, steps are taken to identify
the plane.
The Navy's investigation of the
accident near Fort Dix was started
within a matter of minutes after
the collision. The commanding
officer at the Naval Air Station at
Fort Dix promptly dispatched the
Permanent Air Accident Board at
Lakehurst to the scene.
Admiral Headed Inquiry.
This was followed almost imme-
diately by the appointment of a
special board of investigation by
Rear Admiral r. E. Schiurmann,
commandant of the 4th Naval Dis
trict at Philadelphia. The board
was made up of Capt. Donald S.
MacMahon. from the Naval Auxil-
iary Air Station at Muslin Field,
Philadelphia; Capt. George S.
Watson, commanding the Naval
Air Training Unit at Lakehurst:
and Capt. Benjamin May II, of the
Airship Training and Experimental
Command at Lakehurst.
The boards conclusions and
findings were the basis of report
which now is at the Navy Depart
ment here. The report is under
study by various bureaus before
being made public. 1t was indi-
Gated that it may be 80 days or
more before it will be available for

and a half. The conferences are

Fields to Be Inspected.
The conference, running from
September 10 through 26. will
begin with two days of explana-
tory talks by ranking officials OF
the Armed Forces and State De-
partment, followed by inspection
trips to the Air Forces Elgin
(Fla.) Proving Ground; the
Army's big infantry base at Fort
Benning. Ga, the ,Navy's Norfolk

hover when he was temporary
chairman of the, Joint Chiefs OF

late Secretary of Defense For

Mr.. johnson has declared that

tary people of all ranks learn to
know their opposite numbers in

He commented, in an article
for the American magazine last
June. that this consolidation
has its start in the military serv-
ice academies, with postgraduate
courses in the three services for
Annapolis, West Point and Air
Academy men Immediately after
their commissioning.

Nor are we overlooking our
older military men in our plans
for consolidation, or our older

More and more, Mr.. johnson
said, You will see Air Force flyers
taking off from Navy aircraft

The Secretary's reference to
Navy airmen flying the Air Forces
newest planes" was assumed to
mean that Naval aviators will be
ordered to fly such planes as the
giant B-36 bomber. That plane
has become the symbol of the
quarrel between Navy and Air

5ymington Due 10 Visit
Boeirg Plant in Move
To Disperse Factories
BY the Associated Press

A quiet but persistent ef1ort OF
the Air Force to get warplane fac-
tories moved out of potential
bombing target zones will be
stepped up this week.
Air Secretary Symington IS
scheduled to fly to Seattle Tues
day. accompanied by production
experts and other officials OF his
department, to talk with the Boe-
ing Aircraft CO.
officials explain that in the case
of the Boeing plant or any OF the
other plane factories, the All
Forces primary interest is in hav-
ing production of military craft
dispersed and moved inland from
danger areas along the coasts.
Where the companies build COM
mercial-type planes is no business
of the Air Force, they say.
In the case of one contract with
Boeing-for the new, high-speed
let bomber, the B-47-the Air
Force reached firm understand
ing" with the company that these
planes are to be made at Its
Wichita (Kans.) plant instead OF
at the coastal plant in Seattle,
officials said.
Has Other Plane Contracts.
During the war, clauses were
written into contracts requiring
production specified places. but
it was unclear whether such q
clause went into the postwar BAT
contract.
Boeing has other military plane
contracts for production or de-
velopment and what the All
Force apparently aims at is to get
this work moved to the inland
Wichita plant.
Boeing officials said they are
waging no campaign against the
transfer effort. However, Seattle
business interests are vitally con-
cerned.
The payroll at Boeing's Seattle
plant runs into millions annually
the company being one of the ma
ior industries at Seattle. Boeine
men point out that an additional
shift of military production tc
Kansas would require answers te
several problems, including the
fact that the Wichita plant now
has about half the space OF the
Boeing plant.
In addition, some officials say
it might be difficult to induce
skilled workers who are longtime
residents of Seattle to move tc
Wichita, thus requiring training
of new artisans.
Turning Out B-50's.
At present, the Boei7g Seattle
plant is turning out B-50s, the
modern version of the wartime
B-29.
But of greater interest to the
Air Force is the fact that Boeing
is working on development of the
XB-52, heavy bomber, jet
powered. That bomber. the All
Force has indicated, may become
the successor to the B-36, the in
tercontinental bomber powered by
six reciprocating engines with
four jet pods" attached for added
speed and climb in emergencies.
If an experimental model is
found satisfactory, the Air Force
wants to see actual production o1

the plane carried out at some less
exposed point than the Northwest
coast, it is suggested.
Other plane manufacturers are
keeping a sharp eye on develop
ments in the Boeing transfer case,
although the Boeing plant seems
to be the only currently active
objective of the Air Forces plant
dispersal program.
At least four other large COM
panies which do business with the
Air Force also are located on the
West Coast - Lockheed, North
American, Douglas and Consoli-
dated Vultee, all of them in Cali
fornia. Consolidated Vultees
makes it's B-36s at the Govern
ment-owned but company -oper-
ated factory at Fort Worth, al
though it still operates the Cali
fornia plant at San Diego.
Several Factors Cited.
The Air Force belief that con-
centrations of plane factories
should be broken up and dispersed
rests primarily on the danger of
enemy attack, although there are
other factors. The Air Force argu-
ment goes something like this:
The major danger factor lies
in attack not only by long range
bombers (Which could hit inland
cities as well as coastal targetS)
but from carrier-boTne planes or
medium range guided missiles
launched from enemy submarines
surfacing close to the Pacific or
Atlantic coasts. Present-day range
of such missiles is about 200 miles
The striking radius of carrier
based planes may be about 500
Therefore, the danger zone ex-
tends inland from both coasts fol
several hundred miles.
In addition to the mere pres
ence of individual airplane plants
in the two zones there is the
added factor of high concentra-
ton. Defense officials have pre-
pared, as an example, a chart OF
the Los Angeles area purporting
to show that six atomic bomb
bursts in that one area could wipe
out all factories of the Lockheed
Consolidated. Vultee and Douglas
plants, together with other mill
tary installations.
The Air Force also presents ar
guments aside from the bomb
danger case. Looking ahead to
the possibility of another war with
accompanying acute production
problems, the Air Force says there
are these factors:
Widely scattered plane plants
would mean that a better supply
of labor would exist. Many plants
in one area creates a labor short
age. Similarity, it is contended.
heavy concentration of plants
creates bottlenecks in transporta-
ton of raw materials and power
shortages.

Bolivia General Staff
Predicts Victory for
Government Forces
By the Assoeiotsd Press

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Sept. 3.-Bo-
livia's general staff predicted Ger
tain victory" tonight for govern
ment forces battling for eight days
to put down a Rightist revolution.
The general staff said it had a
report that Potosi, tin mining city
lying 21z miles above sea level
in the Andes, had been taken to-
day from the rebels.
Fifteen hundred government
troops were reported marching on
Sucre, also in the Andes some $50
miles southeast of La Paz and
nearest to the capital of the re-
manning rebel strongholds.
The general staff. without going
into details. declared flatly in a
communique that 1t was 'opti-
mistic" that present operations
would bring certain victory"
Rebel Pocket Dwindling.
Army sources said recapture Of
Potosi would allow the govern
|ment to concentrate all its forces
against the revolutionaries in a
dwindling pocket in southeastern
Bolivia.
The rebels, led by the ultra
nationalist National Revolutionary
Party. seized key points scattered
over the whole southern half of
the country last Saturday.
Tonight, according to best avail
able information, they had lost Is
Istrongholds and were compressed
into a rough triangle of about $50
miles to the side, with points at
Sucre. Santa Cruz in the eastern
Bolivian oil fields. and Yacuiba, an
oil town on the Argentine frontier
in the far south.
Loyal columns were reported
driving to cut off Santa Cruz,
where the rebels earlier this week
set up a junta, or committee, to
govern the country.
Recapture' Report Borne Out.
The report of Potosi's recapture
appeared to be borne out by rebel
radio dispatches from Santa Cruz,
intercepted here, directing the
Potosi revolutionaries to make a
stand in hills around the town.
In the north, Riberalta, rebel
stronghold 68 miles from the
Brazilian border, has been cap
tured by government forces. In
this action, Col. Marcelliano Mon
tero, the Loyalist commander, was
killed by rebel fire. Gen. Carlos
Ayoroa, the rebel leader, escaped.
Heavy casualties were reported
in scattered areas as the govern
ment strove to wipe out stiff rebel
resistance.
The revolt began August 27
when the National Revolutionary
Party stormed four key cities. The
rebel goal is to overthrow the
middle -the-road government of
Acting President Mamerto Urrio-
lagoitia.
Boat Reported Captured.
The government high command
issued a communique announcing
the capture of a 100-ton river
boat as it steamed up the Mamore
River for an apparent attack on

A good turnout of members of the Badminton Club got together Monday night in the Juneau High School gymnasium, from to 10 o'clock, and got in good warm-up to start off the regular weekly meetings.
 Many former members of the group have left Juneau, and since as many as 75 have belonged in the past, there is room for any newcomers who may be interested in joining, it was announced. Novices at the game as well as ex- perts will be welcome, and are urged to be at the gymnasium next Mon day evening if interested.
 The gym floor is in perfect con- dltion, after being completely re- done during the summer, and to do their part toward keeping it in that condition, club leaders warn that all players must be sure to wear tennis shoes.
