Price Boosts Threaten
To Cut Production Of
Planes, Hearing Told
Air Force Says 1t Will
Need $315 Million More
To Offset Rise in Cost
By George Beveridee

The Air Force told the House
Armed Services Committee today
that price increases during the
last six months will add from $315
million to $3.50 million to produc-
ton costs of 4.428 new planes.
Unless the money is provided,
the increases would have the effect
of cutting the equivalent of 750
F-86 fighters from the program.
Air Force Undersecretary John
McCone told the committee that
Air Force estimates of the cost
rises represent a 7 to 8 per cent
increase in its present budget.
Chairman Vinson responded
that Congress must either take ac-
ton to control prices or make up
its mind to provide more money
to offset the rises.
Price Increases Listed.
Mr.. McCone said a study showed
there were these price increase
percentages during the period from
April Is to September IL: Alum

MUM, rs per cent; crude rub.
ber, 28.9 per cent; lumber, 28.t
per cent, and scrap steel, 23.8 Del
cent. He said there was no othel

1T would be useless if North

South Korea. The bloodshed and
destruction of the last months

BALTIMORE, Oct. 81 The

In Baltimore City Court, Judge

The university had set up g

an off-campus student in it's Bal

fundamental objective the over

Judge Musmanno made public

County Pittsburgh jurist, is the
Democratic nominee for lieutenant
governor of Pennsylvania in the
November 7 election. He was a
Judge at the German war crimes
trials and has waged a vigorous

Describing his discoveries, Judge
Musmanno said:
One piece of literature found

In Korea the people have had
the opportunity of witnessing the
liberating role-not only in words
but in deeds-of the Soviet troops

Another document is a paper
entitled theological Questions

says:
The provocative attack of the

Korea followed by U. S. armed
intervention against the Peoples

understood only in the light of

drive for world domination and its
advanced preparation for a new

Air Force Explains
Reason for Changing
Raid Warning Signal
Civilian Defense Chiefs
Told Communications Will
Not Keep Up With Planes
By Miriom Ottenbero

The Air Force said today it has
dropped one of its. warnings of i'm
pending attack because of the high
speed of approaching aircraft and
the limitations on present radar
and communications systems.
The elimination Of the blue"
warning-an alarm sounded over

sirens in World War II to notify
of possible attack and to mobilize
civilian defense forces-was dis
closed by State civilian defense
directors here yesterday.
The directors protested they
had not been consulted in ad-
vance and that they had counted
on the "blue" warning to call to
duty their wardens, off f-duty
policemen and rescue crews.
An Air Force spokesman said in
reply that it may not be possible
for the Air Force to give gradu-
ated or selective warnings and
the Air Force "does not feel that
the public should depend on it
to do so."
Warning System Is Limited.
The present air raid warning
system, the spokesman declared,
is limited because it is built
around existing communications
facilities.
"It is desired" he added, "to
give the public timely warning
within the capabilities of the
present radar system and the
means of disseminating the warn
ing through existing communica-
tions."
In the event of surprise at
tack by present-day high-speed
bombers, he went on, sit will be
necessary in the interests of safety
to alert large areas with first an
early warning. then smaller areas
with the final warning or raid
alert"
Under the new system, the first
warning-which will alert top
civilian defense officials, but not
the general public-will signify
that planes are over or approach
ing the North American continent.
