B-29s, B-5Os in Europe.
The Air Force has in Europe
number of B-29s and B-50s, a
modernized version of the B-29.
All are based in England. They
include B-50 bomb group, made
up of about 40 planes, a B-29
tanker-refueling squadron, and
units of weather and rescue B-29s.
In addition. Britain has received
at least 4 of 10 B-29s which it is

Russia Got Some B-29s.
Russia gained possession of sew

phases of World War II. That
came about when planes making
strikes at Japan from Saipan
either became lost or ran out OF
fuel and landed in then neutral
territory controlled by Russia.
None of the bombers ever were
returned to the United States. A
few-perhaps two or three of the
B-29s-landed without damage
and presumably were flown later
by the Russians.
Using the impounded American
bombers, the Russians copied

u. ). Grants ThaiIand
$40 Million Worth Of
Military Assistance
BY the Associo,ed Pres,

BANGKOK, Thailand, April IL.
The United States has granted
$40 million worth of arms and
other military aid to Thailand
threatened by communism, Premier
Pibul Songgram disclosed today
(The State Department re-
fused to comment Immediately
on the Bangkok dispatch. State
and Defense Department off,
cials are known, however. to
have been considering sending
American military supplies to
Thailand, Indo-China and In
donesia)
This was the first concrete
manifestation of decisions reached
at the Bangkok conference of
American diplomats in February
DR.. Philip c. Jessup, American
ambassador at large, set forth
the United States position there
OF giving military assistance to
Asian nations displaying the will
to stand against the Communist
tide.

Under Songgram's leadership.
the tiny kingdom of Thailand has
taken its place alongside demo-
cratic powers in the cold war
against communism.
But the war is more hot than
cold in Southeast Asia, which lies
athwart the nightly new Commu-
mist nation of China and itself is
riddled with Reds.
The Premier successfully fought
for recognition of Bao Dai's
French-supported regime in Indo-
China. The Western powers have
lined up for Bao Dai, while the
Communist bloc supports the op-
posing regime of Ho Chi Mini.
Thailand is the only Asian ma
ton to recognize the Bao Dai gov
cIlIue1G.
Ministers Express Thanks.
The American grant of military
aid evoked expressions of thanks
from Thailand cabinet members.
One said the practical contribu-
tion of military aid indicated that
the United States is "a true friend
at all times"
The military aid in the form
of arms as we'll as equipment, such
as bulldozers, to build badly
needed military roads in North
Thailand was given to help the
government resist infiltration by
Communists, the Premier said.
The exact time and method of
delivery was not disclosed. 1t was
understood, however, that this
may take some time.
