Text of Statement by Capt TropnelI ON B36 and Jets

methods of attack such as bomb
ing with proximity fuses, which
highly developed against surface
targets, might be very effective
against the B-36-particularly ir
view of the fact that it is incap-
able of maneuvering to any signi-
ficant extent. Indeed, the size o1
the procurement program as vel
as the size of the bomber, is
great stimulus to the Imagination
in the development of new meth
ods of attack-high performance
in the interceptor being relatively
nonessential.
Fighter Use of Rockets Seen.
We are nearing the time when
interceptor fighters will be equip
ped with rockets or missiles in
lieu of the present 20-mm. cannon
This step is in progress and it is
generally agreed that a great in
crease in effectiveness will result
Equivalent Improvement in defen-
sive armament of the bomber is
not now feasible and the bomber
will, at that time, suffer another
severe setback in its contest with
the interceptor fighter.
In this contest with the inter-
ceptor. the B-36 has raised the
potential bombing attitudes by
not much more than 5000 feet
over that of the B-29. 1t has
greatly extended the range with
the net result that the possibility
of escort is completely eliminated,
The experience of the Navy in
the operation of fighters at high
altitude may perhaps be unique
in certain respects: but, if so, it
is impossible to avoid criticism
of the Air Forces design policy
with respect to fighters. That is
a notable tendency in Air Force
design to concentrate on high
speed at considerable sacrifice OF
high altitude performance. This
tendency is most inconsistent
with the bomber policy exempli-
fled in the B-36 program.
Careful Tests Urged.
Many of the foregoing state
ments will be challenged by pro-
ponents of the heavy bomber
Such controversy is not easily re-
solved because of the complexity
of the factors involved. At this
point, comparative tests, carefully
run and carefully evaluated, must
be made. In the light of the
Navy's experience with existing
equipment at high altitude-ex-
perience which has not heretofore
been considered. the B-36 pro-
gram seems unquestionably ILL
advised.
It is impossible to reconcile the
publicity in favor of the B-36
with the reluctance to engage in
joint comparative tests with the
Navy. This employment of the
equipment would be the most val
liable possible training for both
services.
believe. however. that it will
result in cancellation of any fur
ther B-36 production. Even though
this raises picture of utter con-
fusion, the issue is one which must
be faced. 1t appears that the
eagerness to be free of dependence
on foreign bases, and to establish
a simple method of fighting a war,
has led us into error on a very
large scale. And. gentlemen of the
committee. we ought to find out!

Millions of Catholics throughout the western world raised their voices in growing protest against the trea- son trial of Josef Cardinal Minds senty as the Hungarian Primate sat in his Budapest cell awaiting the courts verdict tomorrow (Tuesday)
 If found guilty, the Cardinal eoulc te sentenced to death by hanging
 The official Hungarian Commun- ist newspaper, Szabad Nep, deserib- ed the Cardinal as "a wretched worm, frightened scoundrel wh- abandoned his principles and aims and is scared only for his m'sera5ls ife.'
 In Moscow, Pravda called the trial 2 triumph over a ''monarchist-Cath- olic' plot and "reactionary propa- gandists.'
 In the United States Catholics ob- served nationwide day of prayer and protest yesterday (Sunday) along with others of the faith in other lands.
 Francis Cardinal Spellman and other Catholic leaders denounced the trial as "mockery" and condemned ''atheistic communism.

Slashing storms opened up new front today against the armies of rescuers in the western blizzard areas while hammering again at some sections of the high plains
 High winds in Wyoming piled deep snow drifts back onto high ways and rail lines. bringing traf- fic te another halt. A Burling- ton Lines bus, with 36 passengers was stalled 42 miles west of Casper, Wyo., and convoy of IA truck loads of hay for snowbound ranch es was marooned south of the city.

lBy The Associated Pressl


 Norway turned to the United States for guidance today despite renewed Soviet pressure.
 Should she espouse the Russian or the American plan for guarding her borders against aggression?
 This in substance was the ques- tion Norwegian Foreign Minister Halvard M. Lange was expected to pose to Secretary of tSate Dean Acheson in Washington, as con- corn mounted in the little Scandi- navian nation over Russia's sudden offer to conclude a n-aggression pact with the Norwegian govern ment
 Russia got very bad press in all the Scandinavian countries to- day, with Communist papers frowning at the whole idea of non- aggression pacts with the Soviets.
 Acheson is expected to urge Lange, in effect, to line up with the United States, Canada and Western Europe in firm North Atlantic alliance.
 It looked like the Norwegians felt the same way.
 In Oslo. most papers said that Soviet offer could not alter the oountry's determination to partic- ipate in a western pact Swedish papers declared Russia already had dishonored non-aggression pacts with Lithuania, Finland, Es- tonia, Latvia and Poland.
 Foreign observers in Moscow said Russia might match the Nor wegian offer by making similar suggestions to Sweden and Den mark
 Pressure against the western pact mounted as the controlled Soviet press unleashed it's strongest blast yet cn the North Atlantic alliance. The Communist party organ Pravda assailed it as the most important lever for preparing a new world war;

Government Services Call. ed Upon 10 Promote
 Private Business

SEATTLE. Feb. 7.-tR-A decade of projected development of Alas ka, stressing use of Government services to promote private business, is envis ,oned by Kenneth J. Kadow, director of the territorial field staff for the Department of the Interior at Juneau.
 Kadow was in Seattle Saturday en route to Juneau.
 Ten years will see development of at least three pulp and paper plants, and great expansion in elec- tro-c h m teal industries" he de- clared.
 He emphasized the great untapped resources of the Territory is the tourist trade, and called for:
 "A combination of private and government initiative to develop an 30 to 100 million dollar tourist trade"
 S2lll bliO AAIAt N4A1CC gCdAO NQAll see completion of the hard-surfac- ing of all Alaska's main highways and the shortening and straighten- ing of the Alaska railroad. Rail in- provements, he said, should bring slash in freight rates. This and departmental promotion of a cement plant should reduce building costs.
 He epitomized Alaska's goal as:
 month employment for it's population with cost of living at a proper level"
 Tourists and the cheapest electri- cal power potential on the North American continent, Kadow said will go far toward achieving this goal"

B-20's from Ladd Field De. lending Kodiak Base in
 Operation ltitle

KODIAK, Alaska, Feb. 7.-tR--- Four Air Force B-29s scored direct hits on nine fighting ships attack ing Kodiak Harbor in the Navy's North Pacific war games, defending forces claimed today.
 An airman aboard one of the bombers said they spotted the nine ships Is miles southeast of Kodiak and registered their bombing hits in three runs at 10000 feet. The invsders claimed they were still coming on at undiminished speed however.
 It. Thaddeus A. Brzywczy of Pittsburgh. leading navigator, said that besides two carriers, the fleet consisted of a light cruiser, four destroyers and two smaller vessels
 The ships are part of Navy Task Force attempting to "retake' the island from a theoretical en- sny. Their mission is to soften up" the island for an invasion.
 H-2o Superforts shutting over the 1,500-mile route from the base of the 72nd Reconnaissance Squad on at Ladd Field, sighted the naval fierce at 7:15 a. n. yesterday and radioed, it's position back to the base.
 The bomber first sighting the in- yasion force was flown by Capt w. R. Vaughan of Taft, Calf
 From Ladd Field
 Col. Charles s. Overstreet, who is directing the overall bomber de- fense of Kodiak led the first flight of B-29s from Ladd Field Satur- day Immediately after the mock alert had been flashed across the Aleutian Chain.
 Attacking forces, meanwhile claimed their planes had bombed and strafed' the naval base and air station on the island yesterday nocn.
 Though outmaneuvered by the few jets the Island was able to get aloft, the attacking planes claimed they accomplished their mission by weight of numbers.
 The islands air force totals about 40 planes while tha attackinq fierce has 200 available, including squadron of jets.
 The severity of the blow was minimized by Rear Admiral Alfred E. Montgomery, commander of the Alaska Sea Frontier.
