Bomber And
 Fighter Fleets To Stage Maneuvers
tBY Elton C. FaY)

WASHINGTON, (R-A series of war games starting next month will test air force bomber and fighter fleets-and the vulnerabil- ity of vital American industry to enemy attack.
 Strategists have calculated that the initial blow by an enemy would be directed at slugging into paralysis the great war munitions cities such as Detroit, Pittsburgh, New York, Chicago, Boston and Baltimore. Thus, the code name for the war games has ominous if not intended significance:
 Operation Blackjack"
 Air force officials said that de- tails on the numbers and types of planes to be used in the test by the strategic air command and the air defense command, definite dates, etc., are still to be worked out.
 Operation Blackjack" is first of program of annual air-war games planned for this and the next four years.
 The 1850 games will be desig- mated Operation Poker" the tar get area the same, but with the attacking bombers flying from bases in Caribbean instead of the United States.
 In 1851, Operation Casino" will be against targets in the eastern United States east of the Missis- sippi, with attacks from bases in Alaska, Newfoundland and the Caribbean.
 Tn the 1852 games, unnamed yet, West Coast cities will be the targets, with attacks launched from Hawaii and Alaska.
 The 1853 schedule contemplates the entire United States as target area.

Polk Murderers Sentenced By Greek Court

SALONIKA, Greece, (P)-Greg- ory Staktopoulous, Greek news paperman and former communist, was sentenced to life imprison- ment yesterday for complicity in the murder last May of George Polk, American correspondent for the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tenn.
 ktopo ulous' 68-year-old mother, Anna, was acquitted on the same charge, as requested by the prosecution. The prosecution had asked a sentence of only 10 to 20 years for Staktopoulous, who admitted in court that he was with Polk on the night of his death. He cOntended he was an innocent dupe of the communists.
 Adam Mounzenides, the man the prosecution said fired the gun which killed Polk, got death sentence, as did his accused help CT, Evangelos Vasvanas. Neither MOuzenides nor Vasvanas, who are communists, have not been apprehended and both were tried in abSentia.
 Polk, correspondent for the Co., lumbia Broadcasting System in the United States, was found shot in Salonika Bay last May after telling friends he was on his way to interview MarkOs Vafiades, then the leader of Greece's com- muniSt guerrillas.
 Polk. 34, had spent two years in the Middle East as CBS chief cor respondent. He was born at Fort { Worth, Tex, and attended the Virginia Military Institute. Before the war he worked as a neWspa- perman in Alaska, Shanghai, Paris as we'll as in the United States.

Senate Approves Vast Long-Range Housing Bill
(Contined from Page One)

(Contined from Page One) about the defeat of practically all major moves to amend it.
 Among the amendments batted down was one by Senators Bricker R.-Ohio) and Cain R.-Wash) which would have prohibited seg- regation on the basis of race, creed or color in the renting of public housing.
 The proposal was beaten 49 to 31, with supporters of President Truman's civil rights program leading the fight against it. But the amendment wh c h i touched off the noisiest fireworks was one by Senator Taft R.-Ohio) to strike from the bill $12,300, 900 in grants to farmers for improve ment of sub-standard farms. Taft's amendment was defeated, Al to 30, after Senator Langer R.- MdD had threatened to talk all night against it.
 The major provisions of the housing bill are these:
 1. The federal govern m n { would contribute up to $308,00O,- 900 annually for up to 40 years to help finance 810,000 public hous- { ing units which would be built in the next six years. The federal governments share of the cost is a minor part of the 1 total. Most of it would be met 1 from the rents collected, along with local community contribu- tions. The housing units would be owned and operated by local com munities.
 2. A five-year slum clearance program, with tWo-thirds of the cost to be met by the federal gov ernment and the balance by local communities.
 3. A three-part S275,O0O,0OO farm housing program.

Gibbs Names Two
Needs for AME
In Liberia

MONROVIA, Liberia, Aug s,
(ANP) - After spending several
months in Liberia, Bishop Carey
A. Bibbs has concluded that the
African Methodist Episcopal
church needs two basic improve
ments to help the church achieve
in Liberia.
According to the presiding bis
hop of the 14th Episcopal district
which covers West Africa, the
church must complete the build
ing of the Eliza Turner Memorial
church and it also must rebuild
Monrovia college.
Calling these two points "out-
standing and imperative" the bis
hop asked the church to act on
them Immediately. Of the church
he said:
"The building in which we wor-
ship now and the unfinished build
ing, started by the late Bishop
Sampson Brooks more than a quar-
ter of a century ago do not re-
fleet credit to our Zion"
He noted that a new building
for this church started rs years
ago never has been finished. He
also asked for more action on an
other project started by the late
Bishop Brooks, Monrovia college.
Referring to the recent burning
of a special building at the col
lege, he said:

The Yankees did not bow out unz
till a couple Of days before the
end, and the Indians had to beat
the Red Sox in a post-season play
off game to win the pennant.
The Yankees appeared safe a
month ago. The New Workers held
a six and a half game margin
over the Indians and the Red Sox
were IL games behind Joe DiMag-
gia and company. But in the last
80 days, the Yankees have falt-

Indians now are only three games
behind, while the Red Sox have
spurted up to within five and a
