Pan Am Charges Effort
To Delay Merger Plan

Charging delay and smear"
tactics, Pan American World Air
ways today replied to group OF
American Overseas Airlines en-
ployes who have asked the Civil
Aeronautics Board to postpone a
decision on Pan Ans petition to
acquire American Overseas for
some $18,845, 900.
/ Pan American, referring to the
petition of the American Over
seas employees. represented by
James M. Lands. former chair
man of the CAB, declared "the
petitioners made it abundantly
clear that the very purpose of the
Intervention is to broaden the
issues and delay the proceedings. "
Pan Am charged that the petit
ton was "the most comprehensive
collection of smear attacks made
on Pan American Anyways over the
past 10 years ever to be bound
together under one set of covers. "
The employees had asked the
delay to give them time to finance
an effort to purchase the overseas
airline.
Pan Am pointed out that it had
signed an agreement with Ameri-
can Overseas for the stock trans
fer last December 13. subject to
CAB approval. and further delay
in a decision will adversely affect
employe morale and the cost OF
air transportation across the
North Atlantic.
Pan Am argued that the two
carriers have every right to be-
lieve that their petition for ap-
proval of the agreement will OBJ
tain expeditions treatment and

New Aircraft Viewed by Truman
On Display at Andrews Base

Worth, Tex. passed in review in
close formation at low altitude be-
fore heading back nonstop for
their home base. This was the
largest formation of Consolidated
B-36s ever put up together, Air
Force spokesmen said.
The B-36s swept across the field
in the wake of 20 Boeing Super
forts, also flying low and almost
wing to wing.
Shortly before reaching the re-
viewing stand. one of the B-29s
began to trail smoke from an out
board engine. The bomber held
formation, however, and the chief
pilot reported by radio that
everything is under control"
Smoke Due to Oil Fire.
An Air Force spokesman said an
oil fire apparently had caused the
smoke, and the Superfort was re-
turning with the formation to
Langley Field, Va, before pro-
ceeding to home base in Kansas.

Air Force Plan 10 Buy
IS or 40 More B-36
Bombers Studied
By John A. Giles

An Air Force proposal to pur-
chase some 35 or 40 more B-36
bombers, which the department
told members of Congress yester-
day Is "the first true intercon-
tinental bomber" is being studied
carefully by the military estab-
lishment.
A defense official said today the
plan is being reviewed by the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Re-
search and Development Board
and the Munitions Board, al
units of the National Defense
Establishment.
These agencies will recommend
either approval or disapproval OF
the proposal to Defense Secretary
Forrestal,. who will pass it on to
President Truman for final action
Other Types Cancelled.
On January 30, the Air Force
announced cancellation of orders
of other types Of aircraft, total
ing 100000. 900, so that this sum
could be applied to the purchase
of additional six-engine B-36s. In
addition to more of the huge
craft, So of which are on order
the money would be used te
modify the present B-36 and B-5C
bomberS.
The B-36 has been criticized ir
some aviation circles as not hav.
ing the range and top speed fol
which the designers called. How.
ever. Air Force Secretary Syming-
ton told a Congressional commit.
tee such criticism was an attempt
ed "hatchet job" on the plane.
Only last Saturday, Mr.. Sym
ington told a Norwalk Conn
gathering the B-36 could take ar
atomic bomb anywhere and in
dicated that it might be boosted
by jet engines.
Show Follows Same Line.
The Congressional Air Show at
Andrews Air Force Base yeSter-
day followed much the same line
with reference to the B-36. The
official program stated it could
take off from bases on this con-
tinent "fy to 81 per cent of all
important targets of a potential
aggressor. drop it's bombs from
great altitude, and then return. y
The B-36 was designed to fly
10000 miles with 10000 pounds
of bombs, but it has not yet
achieved that performance. so far
as is known. The Air Force has
announced that it has carried "a
sizable load of dummy bombers
on a simulated test mission OF
about 5000 miles, dropping the
load midway. On another test
flight, it flew about 5000 miles at
an average air speed of more than
300 miles an hour, taking off at
a gross weight exceeding 100000
pounds-the heaviest load ever
lifted by an airplane."
The B-36 already can fly well
above 10000 feet at this altitude,
because of the rarity of the atmos-
phere. a fighter maneuvers with
great difficulty and becomes an
easy target for the guns of the
bomber.
