Giving the Air Force Balance

Organizational changes Just announced by
the Air Force will add to its strength both
strategicaly and tactically. Coincident with the
assignment of a B-36 group to the Pacific
Northwest, the air arm has established a perma-
nent tactical unit for closer support OF ground
forces. The two moves should add materially to
the combat effectiveness Of the bombardment
and fighter components Of military aviation.
The significance of the opening Of B36
base at Spokane, Washington, will not be lost
on military experts III Moscow. From such
base our intercontinental bombers could have
their 100Oo-mile ranges extended by refueling
over Alaska. Heretofore only B-29s have been
stationed at Spokane The new B-36 wing will
be the fourth 30-plane group Of the big bombers
to be activated Two other wings are assigned
to Fort Worth and the third to Fairfeld-S uisun
base in California. The Spokane wing will bring
the Air Force to its authorized B-36 strength,
not counting planes of this type in reserve. The
Spokane shift follows closely the transfer from
New Mexico to Moses Lake, Washington, of two
squadrons of F-86 Jet fighters. The jets will
add to the defenses of the atomic bomb install
lations in that area.
OF special interest to the Army is the AT
decision to lay greater stress tactical aviation.
Recent maneuvers brought complaints that Air
Force support of ground troops was inadequate.
The new plan calls for permanent assignment
Of more fighter and troop-carrier planes to the
Tactical Air Command at Pope Field, North
Carolina. Both types of air support, thoroughly
trained in air ground coordination, are essential
in successful land operations. The order giving
increased facilities and prestige to the Tactical
Air Command should help to allay fears ex-
pressed from time to time in Army circles that
the Air Force was too preoccupied with strategic
bombing plans to give proper attention to tao
tical aviation. Whatever the original tendency,
1t is evident now that air officials are trying
earnestly to develop truly balanced Air Force
within the limits of available equipment and
funds.

a valuable insight.
He comedies his appointment,

ment'S big ShoW-the 17th census

But that job, he says. has been
well set up in advance by his
predecessor, DR.. Philip M. Hauser,
who had been acting director for
the last year.
DR.. Peel already has his sights
set on the 1860 census and on the
various other counts the bureau

Trend to More Data.
For these he has some changes
in mind, but he stresses the fact
that no apple carts will be upset
in putting them across.
The progress, in an organiza-
ton like this, is bound to be slow, !"
he says. THE trend which we are
trying to establish is toward more
complete information which citi-
zens and economic groups find
essential to their use.'
That progress, he points out,
started back in 1850, when the
census first became something
more than a simple count of the
population. Since then, as vari-
Gus groups have awakened to the
possibilities Of the census, the
demand for information of all
types has increased. Today the
population census takers ask a
total of As basic questions, which
are processed by the bureau into
hundreds of different types of sta
tistical tables.
The big lag at the moment, as
DR.. Peel sees it, Is in the field
of Government statisJics-"more
facts about the impact that Gov
ernment is having on people to-
day."
That is one of the fields in
which the new Census boss hopes
to make progress before the next

It's really not a controversial
point at all, he says. Facts about

many types of private business

AS a matter of fact, he adds,
these private concerns, notably
newspapers and telephone COM
panies, have been making studies
of consumer income for years.
The only trouble is the private
concerns lack the resources and
the authority needed to do a thor

Money Supply
The money supply as defined
above increased from an average
of 1862 billions in 1889 to an aver
age of $109.6 billions in 1948, the
high year. That was rise of 202
percent. The supply of goods in
creased more than half as industrial
production rose about rs percent
and agricultural production about
80 percent.
But, the money supply increased
considerably faster than goods Con-

living about rs percent.
The money supply has

slightly lower. Industrial goods

sale prices of farm products
have dropped over 20 percent
from the peak, and industrial
have declined much less since
the end of the war than in the
corresponding intervals after
World War /. the Civil war and
the War of 1912.
With this background, you can
see that prospects for initiation or
deflation depend largely on future
changes in the money supply COM
pared with the output of goods.
Let's take a look from this view
point at some of the leading in
fluences to see what their effects
are likely to be.
InflationarY Influences
First the influences likely to be

the money supply is increased.
