Record Bomber Load
or AZ Tons Hauled
By B-36 in Test Raid
PIone Disabled on Return
From 2,90Q-MiIe Trip
As Landing Geor FoiIs
BY the Assoeioted Press

A B-36 bomber carried AZ tons
of bombs aloft yesterday-great-
est bomb load ever lifted-and
dropped them on a California
bombing range, the Air Force
announced last night.
The plane was disabled on its re-
turn landing when the main landing
gear under the right wing collapsed,
but no one was hurt.
The bomb load consisted of two
giant missiles, without explosive
charges.
The B-36 took off from Carswell
Base, Tex, flew to a bombing range
at the air test base at Muroc, Calf =,
and returned to the Texas field,
ordinarily round trip of 2,40O miles.
However, additional time over the
target and other deviations in the
route brought the total distance to
1900 miles.
The previous bomb lift mark was
set last summer by a BIO which
carried one missile weighing $4,000
pounds. Since then the Super
FortresSes have carried similar 21-
ton payloads on many test missions.
Yesterdays flight marked the first
attempt by a B-36 to carry the full
42-ton load.
The weight of the two $4,000
pound bombs lifted by the six-engine
Consolidated Vultee plane was
equivalent to a wartime Bit Flying
Fortress.
Total Weight 100000 Pounds.
At takeoff, the bomber, its bombs
and fuel load totalsd over 100000
pounds.
On the nonstop flight the bomber
averaged more than $50 miles an
hour.
Air speed of the bomber as it
released the missiles was better than
$50 miles an hour.
The first bomb was released at
over $4,000 feet. The B-36 then
climbed to over 10000 feet and
dropped the second missile. The Air
Force said that over 10000 feet is

Bodies Of 70 Men, Women
Children Found in Nazi Sub
By the Assocjoted Press

HAMBURG. Germany, Jan. 29.-
The bodies of more than 10 men,
women and children have been re-
covered from the hulk of a sunken
German U-boat in Kiel Bay.
The submarine apparently was
carrying refugees fleeing before the
advancing Russian armies in 1945
when it was trapped on the surface
and sunk by Allied aircraft in the
bay, known as the graveyard of
the German navy"
Most of the people were from Dam
zig. Bodies of 81 have been iden-
tilted. Records are being checked
to identify the others.
The 1,6OO-ton submarine, an
under-sea coffin to these victims, is
just one of more than 40 sunk off
the German Baltic coast. This is
the first grim evidence uncovered
by salvage crews, however, that they
were used to evacuate civilians.

LONDON, Sunday, Jan. 30
Russia has asked Norway to de-
clare whether she is Joining the
projected North Atlantic pact
and planning to furnish military
bases to the Western powers, a
Tass dispatch from Oslo said
today.
The dispatch by the official Soviet
news agency, broadcast from Mos
COW, said Russia has formally re-
quested the Norwegian government
for an explanation of its attitude
toward the pact
The Soviet statement called at
tention to the common frontier be-
tween the two countries.
Tass said the USSR asked "to be
informed whether reports in the
press that Norway Is joining the
Atlantic Union correspond to the
actual facts" and whether "the Nor
wegian government Is undertaking
any obligations to the Atlantic
Union in respect to the creation of
air force or naval bases on the ter
ritory of Norway"
Yesterday in Moscow the Soviet
government issued a 34-page White
Paper asserting the proposed Allan
tic Union pact is intended to estab-
lish British-American domination
of the world by force. Russia called
the pact a plot against the United
Nations and said she would fight it.
american officials in WASH
ington said yesterday that the
Russian attack on the Atlantic
security plan appears to be a
major propaganda move, aimed
partly at discouraging the Scam
di]1avian nations from joining it,
Talks are under way in Oslo be-
tween the foreign ministers of Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark on a pro-
posed Scandinavian defense alliance.
Sweden is reported seeking
Scandinavian pact based on neu-
trality and not tied in with the
North Atlantic alliance, which would
embrace the United States, Britain,
Canada, France and the Low Coun-
tries at the outset.
Norway has been reported want
ing a Scandinavian alliance which
would enable the three countries to
obtain weapons and certain guar
antees from the Western nations.

position taken by the Soviet govern
ment, said:

Steel Authority
Reported in Bill
Due This Week
Proposal to Allow
Plant Construction
Faces Hard Fight
By ChoImers M. Roberts

Definite authority for the
Government to build steel plants
will be included in the Admins
tration's omnibus anti-inflatior
and full employment bill due to
go to Congress this week, a key
official told The Star last night
The measure would permit the
Government to lend money to pri-
vate business to expand the steel
industry's capacity, now critically
short in the administration view,
and to construct additional facilities
directly, this source said.
Included in the omnibus measure
will be the standby wage and price
controls and mandatory authority
to allocate and set priorities for key
materials in short supply recon-
mended by President Truman in
his State-of -the-Union address. The
bill also Is expected to include most
OF the rest of the eight point pro-
gram Mr.. Truman outlined, other
than rent control and export con-
troll extensions, already under con-
gressional consideration.
Strong Opposition Seen.
The request for authority to enter
the steel business. a landmark in
the Nations economic policy, is Ger
tain to stir strong opposition from
Republicans and the more conserva-
tive Southern Democrats on the
Hill. But this provision in the omni-
bus bill is reported already to have
been approved by Mr.. Truman.
A White House conference is now
scheduled for Tuesday with Demo-
cratic congressional leaders and Sec
retary of Agriculture Brannan, CO.
ordinator of the Administration S
anti-inflation program by presiden-
tial directive. At that time, the
President is expected to ask his
party leaders to sponsor the meas
ure in both Houses of Congress.
In his state -of-the Union mes
sage, Mr.. Truman outlined as his
anti-inflation program the same
measures he had been trying unsuc-
cessfully for two years to obtain
from the Republican controlled 8Oth
Congress. They include, beside the
price-wage, export. ALLEGATION and
rent measures. continued power over
consumer credits and additional
bank credit controls, authority to

Snow-B|ocked West
Truman Gives Virtual
Blank Check for Relief
In BIizzurd Areas
By the Associoted Press

The Army moved in yesterday
On the worst blizzard disaster
areas of the West for "the big
gest bulldozer operation since
the Ledo Road"
Given virtually a blank check by
President Truman for "the relief of
this area" the Fifth Army brought
in personnel and more heavy equip
ment to break the snow blockades in
the Missouri River basin.
Clear cold weather, meanwhile,
spread over most of the blizzard
stricken West.
Weather Aids Rescue Work.
The weather was a boon to ex-
panding rescue efforts. but an ad-
ditional hardship for hungry, snow
stranded livestock.
The cold wave, which extended
east to the Atlantic, also relieved
the present threat of major floods
in the midwest. And in that area
weather bureau officials believed
the severe weather of the last few
weeks was at an end.
The President authorized Defense
! Secretary Forrestal to use funds set
up for river and harbor control to
speed relief work in the disaster
areas. Mr.. Forrestal can spend for
blizzard relief such funds as are
available in the military establish
nent. Defense officials estimated
that several million OF dollars Will
be used.
The President will ask Congress
for a supplemental appropriation to

Army Presses Truman
To Shift Reich Control
To State Department
Gen. CIoy's New Appeal
To Retire Brings Formal
Request for Change
BY the Asseeioted Press

The Army. appealing to Presi-
dent Truman, wants the admin
istration of the American zone
of Germany turned over to the
State Department as soon as
possible, it was learned last
night.
Army Secretary Royal urged the
switch in formal recommendation
to the White House.
Neither the White House nor the
State Department. however, wants
to rush through any quick change
in the American setup in Germany,
political and economic battle
ground in the cold war.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay repeatedly is
again pressing officials here to be
allowed to retire as military COVER
nor, but Mr.. Truman is represented
as anxious to keep him on the job
while longer.
Hinges on AchesOn View.
Responsible officials said DISPOSE
tion OF Mr.. Royals proposal will
turn largely on the advice to be
given the President by Secretary
Of State Acheson.
| Mr.. Acheson, in Office little more
than week, has been swamped
with other matters.
Moreover insiders regard 1t likely
that he would want an exhaustive
review made of the. whole German
problem, including the specific issue
of administration.
Mr.. Royals recommendation to
Mr.. Truman, with copies to the Sec
retary of State and other interested
officials, is reported to have been
made in mid january. He returned
from tour Of Germany January 3.
He left Washington Friday for a
visit to Japan.
Repeated Efforts Made.
The recommendation does not
constitute any new Army policy. The
military have made repeated at
tempts in the past to shift the occu-
patton task to the State Department.
1t was decided long ago that the
start should be made in Germany
with the changeover in Japan to
come along later.
Some informants said that what
lends quality of urgency to the
present situation is that Gen. Clay
has become more emphatic in ex-
pressing to Mr.. Royal and others
his desire to retire. This, in Mr..
Royals reported opinion, apparent
ly made it timely to raise the whole
problem of civilian versus military
control again.
