All three commands are great
organizations, but the greatest of
these is the Strategic Air Com

Bomber Setup
SAC is the only command in the
Air Force charged with strategic
bombing and it's Importance is
emphasized by the fact it is under
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 1t re-
ceives it's mission orders from
that all-powerful body. not from
the Air Force, and its targets and
target systems are approved by
the jos as part of our national
war plans.
(Ominous justification for the
present organizations and mis-
sions was given Congress short
time ago by Gen. Muir S. Fair
child, Air Force vice chief of
staff, in these words: THE period
which we all realized must some
day come when intercontinental
air warfare would be a possibility
is now at hand. The determina-
ton as to whether this inter-
continental air warfare will en-
ploy atomic weapons is no longer
a matter for sole decision by this
country. 1t seems that it will
soon be a Russian capability to
launch an atomic attack in signi-
f1cant strength. Thus, if a fu-
ture conflict should ever occur,
it might we'll be initiated by an
intense period of atomic warfare. "

SENATE VOTE. I5UNAN|M0U5. ON DRAFT ACT.
Gives Truman Power 10 Order Reserves 10 Full
 Duty Plus Indultees

WASHINGTON, June 28 - H - A top-heavy Senate vote today gave final Congressional approval to "a one-year extension of the draft act.
 The vote was unanimous, 76 to O..
 The measure puts in President Truman's hands the power to call up thousands of draftees, National Guardsmen or reserves, if necessary to keep the strength of the Army, Navy and Air Force above the 100000 mark.
 A 315 to 4 margin for the bill was rolled up late yesterday in the House.
 Congressional action was seen as quick support for President Tru- mans demand that Communist forces be stopped in Korea ans other parts of the world, even if it means a shooting war.
 The measure not only allows the President to start actual drafting but also allows him to order Army, Navy. Marine, Air Force and Coast Guard reserves to duty.
 Before the vote. Chairman Tyd- ings (D-Md) of the Armed Services Committee had predicted it would be nearly unanimous"

 Thinking about these heroes and what they would have done in this present age of fear, I couldn't help wondering whether we today are exercising all the pioneering re- sourcefulness which they showed in founding this country.
 I couldn't help thinking that maybe the present generation is too soft, too content to rely on modern inventions and mechanical miracles. What would we have done with a great wilderness to conquer? Would we have had the courage, the perseverance that they did?
 Today we face the same kind of political wilderness behind the iron curtain and some of us seem con- tent merely to worry about our personal problems while the world balances on a razor's edge between salvation and ruin.
 We have become specialists in material things. We can build any weapon, a rocket plane carrying us to another continent. perhaps to another planet. But we do not
