B-36 Program Will Cost Over Billion

WASHINGTON, (P) - The air force gave Congress an estimate of 1922 100000 yesterday on the cost of the B-36 bomber program.
 The figure came out in testi- mony by It. Gen. Edwin w. Raw lings in the House armed services committee investigation of the giant atomic bomb carrier.
 Rawlings followed other high ranking air force witnesses who chorused denials that political in- fluence or corruption had any thing to do with orders for more B-36'S. The subject of cost has come up repeatedly in the inVes- tigation, which was set off by complaints of connections between high armed forces officials and the Consolidated-V company, makers of the huge plane.
 Rawlings is comptroller, or fi- nance man, for the air force. He referred to the air force de- ciSiOn early this year to boost the total B-36 program to ITO planes. If and when new estimates are certified, the total dollar cost of the program will be approximate i ly Sl,O22,OOO,oOO."'
 An early end to the inquiry was indicated with signs pointing tow ard clean bill of health for the air force.

SUGGEST CITY TAKE
1850 YOUTH PROGRAM

The board of directors of the
Laurel Commercial club at a
meeting Monday went on record
as recommending that the sum-
mer recreation program, because
of a steady increase in the size
of the program, be taken over by
the city. The members of the
board stated that the wide inter-
est in the program, evidenced by
the youth of the city, indicates
the necessity of increasing the
scope to a point where organiza-
tions in Laurel will not be able
to meet it's requirements. Be-
cause of this, the board felt that
the city should be requested to
take over the summer recreation
al program in 1850.
The board also approved a Com
mercial club dinner meeting, to
be held in the /. o. o. F. hall at
$3.50 p. m. June 80. Farmers in
the Laurel trade area are invited
