By John A. Giles

Gen. Bradley has told Congress
that this country's might will not
be sufficient to fight major war
by July, 1851, but that it is on the
road toward "the necessary forces
to prevent a disastrous attack"

Staff chairman before the Senate
Appropriations Committee came
as there were these other defense
developments on Capitol Hill:
/. There were predictions that

might have tough shedding. The
Senate Armed Services Committee
yesterday voted a three-year ex-
tension including power for the
President to order inductionS at
any time, plus a racial segrega-
ton amendment squarely opposed
to administration policy. A House
passed version would not allow
Iinductions without congressional
action. 1t makes no mention OF
the racial policy.

Gen. Bradley, testifying in sup
port of the $13 billion defense
budget for the fiscal year begin
ming July /, said the aim was to
built up forces which could strike
retaliatory blow that will be
strong enough to slow down the
aggressor while we mobilize.
Beyond that point we must rely
on the tremendous power of our
industrial potential. our reserve
forces, our military education sys-
TENN fact, what we term our

That is the risk we take"
The general said that he be-

ton base and the forces and po-
tential of friendly powers would be
sufficient to win a war in the end.
If Russia goes to war. her forces
probably will move in the Far East

In Gunnery Practice
BY the Asseeioied Press

LONDON. June ga United
States B-29 bomber which fell in
flames into the North Sea Wednes-
day with a. loss of at least three
lives shot itself down during gun
merry practice, headquarters Of the
Sd Air Division said today.
Bullets from the planes 50-cali-
bre machineguns struck the right
outboard engine during a firing
run on gunnery range off the
Norfolk coast, a spokesman said,
setting the plane on fire.
Eleven crewmen were ordered to
abandon the burning plane at low
altitude. -Four were rescued, three
were recovered dead, and a search
is continuing for the other four.
The Air Force spokesman said
failure of normal safety devices
with which the big plane was
equipped permitted the gunfire
from its own turret to strike the
outboard engine.
Normally automatic controls
cut the fire of the B-29's machines
should they be turned toward any
part of the aircraft.
Capt. Henry j. Walsh of Alton,
H., commander of the lost bomb
er and a survivor, told how shells
from one Of the B-29 turrets tore
into the right outboard engine

Walsh gave the. command to aban-

Committee Suggests
To Judge CockriII
She Request Board

The Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee today recommended q
study OF the Juvenile Court by
Federal experts as the only way
to restore public confidence in the
controversy-ridden court.
The committee of IS laymen
specifically proposed TO Judge
Edith H. Cockrill that she ask the
Children's bureau of the Social
Security Administration, the ad-
ministrative Office of the United
States Courts and the Justice De-
partment each to appoint a COM
petent person to a study panel.
This group. the advisory COM
mittee told the judge. should be
asked Ito study carefully the ex-
isting policies and administrative
practices Of the court and in due
course to report its findings to you
and through you to the COM
munity."
"The committee was strongly OF
the opinion" its chairman, G.
Rowland Shaw. declared in
letter to the judge. that only by
such a move on your part could
the confidence of the community
in the court be restored and it
Is unnecessary to point out that
without that confidence the court
cannot serve the community with
anything approaching maximum
efficiency"
Does Not Pass on Differences.
Mr.. Shaw said the committee
noted with great deal OF regret
and concern that public conf
dence in the court has been seri-
ously impaired"
The committee, he said. tried to
be objective in considering the
serious situation confronting the
community and the court because
OF the designations of Miss Vir-
ginia Clary. director of social
work, and Miss Clare Fagrie. chief
probation officer. and the state
ments made In connection with
those designations.
Without undertaking TO pass
upon the merits Of the differences
between yourself and Miss Clary
and Miss Fagrie," Mr.. Shaw wrote
the judge. 'the committee wishes
to record, predtcated upon the
personal knowledge of its men,
bers. its recognition and appre-
citation Of the years OF devoted
and efficient service rendered to
the court and to the community
by these two members of the
staff"
A key point In the controversy
swirling around Juvenile Court
has been allegations that Judge
Cockrill showed a hostile" atti-
tude in the court and sent to the
National Training School for Boys
some youths who the court proba-
tion officers thought could be bet-
ter rehabilitated in their own
homes on probation.
Judge Cockrill yesterday made
public her figures on commit
ments. The Advisory Committee
was meeting at the time and Mr..
Shaw indicated it had not seen
her figures. Mr.. Shaw said the
committee did not believe the
statistics it understood the judge
was having prepared would prove
conclusive.

over the courts policies and ad.
ministrative practices. Mr.. Shaw
