Night Fighter Planes Rushed By Russians

WASHINGTON, Dec. - R - The Russians, with an eye on the growing capability of American long-range bombers to strike in darkness or storm at high attitudes, are hastening to get all-weather in terceptor planes into the Soviet air defense system.
 This was pointed up in informa- tion contained in the newly pub lished edition of Jane's "All the Worlds Aircraft" privately published manual of planes. It comments:
 Russian development of night fighters appears to have been rather desultory but in 1949 or early 1850 there became known the exis- tence of a twin-jet, swept-wing fighter of modern conception. It is credited to Lavochin (Semyon A. Lavochkin, a Soviet aeronautical designer) though it is not certain.
 This fighter has been said to be a single-seater but ill view of the fact that a good deal of radar is housed in the nose it is possible that there may actually be accom- modation for a second crew mem ber."
 (SOme other aviation experts
 on foreign fleets have reported
 that at least two all-weather in-
 terceptor types are now in use by
 the Red air force.
 (The extensive radar equipment in all-weather or night fighters is used for locating hostile bombers and for automatically aiming guns or the plane itself, in the case of fixed gun mounts, at the target)
 Jane's also reports what lis prob- ably the first really successful Soviet jet bomber. The publication believes this plane is designated as the TU-10, designed by Andrei Tu-
