Symington Indicates
JETS Are Being Added
To Boost B.36 Speed
sy the Assoeioted Press

NORWALK. Conn.,, Feb. a.
Air Secretary Symington gave a
broad official hint tonight that the
speed Of the giant "1ntercontinen-
tai" B-36 bomber is, being. boosted
by the addition of jet engines.
Moreover. he said, the plane,
now powered with six reciprocal
ing engines, is capable of reach
ing "any major industrial urban
area in the world"
And it can hit a target with
atomic or other bombs from alti-
tudes above that used in the A
bomb destruction of Hiroshima,
he contended.
For the latter claims, he said
he had the assurance of Col. Paul
Tibbets. who flew the Hiroshima
attack at an altitude over 10000
feet.
Answers B-36 Critics.
Mr.. Symington incorporated
into an address prepared for a
Lincoln Day dinner here another
of a series of replies he has made
during the last few weeks to criti-
cism of the six-engined B-36.
The Air Force says the plane
is designed for 10000 miles range.
Mr.. Symington recalled tonight it
already had flown more than
5000 miles with a useful bomb
load. with fuel for we'll over 1000
miles left after it landed.
He also took cognizance, with
out mentioning names, Of two
other points in the airpower argu-
ment. Advocates of the plan to
wage strategic air war with big
planes launched from super-size
aircraft carriers have suggested
these planes, too. could carry
atomic bombs. The second point
was recent speech by Gen. Omar
Bradley, Army Chief of Staff. In
it he questioned the wisdom Of
relying exclusively on air power
for the killing blow against an
enemy. pointing out that final
conquest probably would rest on
armies advancing and occupying
enemy territory.
No Suicide Mission.
Obviously referring to the first
point. Mr.. Symington said:
The only way to place an atomic
bomb on strategic targets 'is the
long-range, land-based lombard
ment airplane" He said the B-36
was the vehicle for delivering the
bomb, adding:
This great intercontinental
bomber. without refueling. and
without the use of any overseas
base, can leave this continent, per-
form it's strategic bombing mis-
sion, tWo-way-no suicide mission
and return to the Dase in
Alaska. or Labrador, or the United
States. from which it took off,"
At another point, he commented
in what appeared to be an answer
to Gen. Bradley:
"A B-36, with an A-bomb, can
take off from this continent and
destroy distant objectives which
might require ground armies years
to take-and then only at the ex-
pense of heavy casualties. The
B-36 could do the job within 16
hours after take-off from this con-
tinent, and then return nonstop
to it's home base-all this at
risk Of 1e American lives"
There have been rumors that
the Air Force is experimenting
with the use of jet engines. used
in addition to standard reciprocal
ing engines, to boost the speed of
the B-36. Mr.. Symington gave
this rumor official credence by
saying of the B-36:
Its speed-already greatly in
creased-will before the end of
this year exceed at high altitude
that of any bomber except the
smaller, entirely jet powered
bomber"
