Will Try To Smash Round World Flight Record

SAN FRANCISCO, CPD - The Bixby's-27-year-old Dianna, and 36-ycar-old Bob-took off Satur- day at 6:O3 am. PST) for New ark, N. J., on their Iong-delayed attempt to smash the round-the- world flight record.
 With a good tailwind and fair weather ahead, they expected to arrive in Newark about f pm. (E ST). They planned to average about $50 miles per hour plus whatever help they get from the wind.
 The husband and wife team flew a tWin-engine British Mos quito bomber, Huntress II, which they bought in Miami in 1949 for $4,500. They took off here because the National Aeronautical Asso- citation requires a San Francisco take-off for a record worlds -gird- ling attempt.
 The Bixby's are aiming at the record of 73 hours, five minutes and II seconds set in August, l947, by the late Bill Odom over the 21,076 mills course. The plan calls for stops at Newark, Paris, Cairo, Karachi, Calcutta, Tokyo and Midway Island with San Francisco as the terminus.
 The longest hop, according to Mrs. BiXby, will be 3,647 miles between Newark and Paris.

like" Lists Three Point Program For .U. $. Defenses

WASHINGTON, CP) - General Dwight D. Eisenhower Saturday proposed a three-point program for stiffening United States de lenses.
 Senator Elmer Thomas O. OklaD, who received the written recommendations of the wartime Allied commander in Europe, told a reporter they call for:
 l. Strengthening Alaska and it's major air force against surprise airborne attack, by a permonent force of well-trained and equip ped ground troops and a radar screen to detect and warn against air forays.
 2. Assurance that the 48-group | firSt-line air force is equipped with the most modern aircraft and backed up by a powerful re- ] serve of 12 well-equipped air na- ! tonal guard groups.
 3. Sufficient funds for the navy to start a special anti-submarine force, including destroyers, small { aircraft carriers, aircraft n d other special equipment.
 Thomas said the letter fulfilled EisenhoWer's promise to Senators to spell out changes he would make in President Truman's S14,- 000,000,000 defense budget for the 1851 fiscal year starting July 1.
 The general told Senators Alas ka is about five minutes" by air ! from Soviet territory and that Russia is known to have expand ed her air force and submarine i power.
 But he expressed strong doubt that Russia plans any war in the near future, pointing out that many Soviet industries were dew astated by the last war and that Russia respects the strength of the United States.
 Thomas said the Eisenhower letter, besides listing the three high-priority projects, also noted the need for keen attention to in telligence and industrial mobili- zation plans.
 In his testimony, Eisenhower cited Alaskan defenses as an ex- ample of moving "a little bit too far in our disarmament"
 I think we ought to have sta toned on each major airfield in , Alaska at least a good battalion of infantry, with necessary auxil- iaries, bazookas and recoilless guns and things that are handled with not to much weight" Eisen- hover testified.
 He said the radar screen to de teCt aircraft should be completed in Alaska within the next three years.
 1 As for size of the air force, he i told Senators the 48 regular groups and l2 national guard units would probably be safe minimum" if they were kept

POPS NEW NAME IS AIRMAN KIDS HOPET TO BE FLEDGLINGS
 lBY lst-Lt. Norman BellurYl

It's fun to be a .'fledgling." At least the Air Force children in Washington think it is and they hope that Air Force children all over the world will think so too.
 Tn a recent broadcast over the American Broadcasting Company in Washington, one child said: Army children are called 'brats, children of Navy parents are call ed juniors We Air Force chil- dren are calling ourselves 'Fledg- ling" A fledgling is young bird who is about to sprout it's wings in preparation for flight"
 The term is not official and the mothers of the Officers Wives Club in Washington thought up the idea and are hoping that children all over the Air Force will adopt the term.
 After all they couldn't let Pop get away with new blue uniform and a new name without getting something out of the deal.
 WE THINK THAT TT IS A GRAND IDEA and hope that ev- eryone will adopt the new term when they refer to our "Air Force children" - pardon ID c "Fledglings."

The top sequence of the film
is one in which the leader of the
kidnap band takes his blind heir
ess victim down into highly
electrified rail tunnel. His idea
is that the sightless girl and the
highly charged wires will make it
unnecessary for him to kill her
with his bare hands. 1t is an
idea that you share with him ex-
cept as you remember that killing
the girl is sometimes needless in
movie scripts.

casionally falling into droll
