For DOUBLING
OF Air Force
House Armed Services
Choirmon Also Asks
For 3 Supercurriers
BY the Associated Press

Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee today
proposed a vast increase in United
States air power.
He called for expanding the Air
Force to 1853 wings-nearly double
the number now in existence
and for the construction of three
super aircraft carriers.
Mr.. Vinson issued a statement
in which he declared that 1.-The
development of air power has, in
combination with the new weap-
ons of mass destruction, changed
the entire strategic situation"
He said the Air Force should
have 1873 combat wings-or groups
and 25 troop carrier wings.
Expansion of Capacity Asked.
The Air Force now has 81 wings
and is building to an immediate
goal of 95, although Secretary of
Defense Marshall said two weeks
ago the aircraft industry is being
asked to step up its production
capacity to permit an expansion
to 180 wings.
The size of a wing varies from
80 heavy bombers like the B-36
to rs fighters.
Mr.. Vinson said the new aircraft
carriers should be built as prompt
ly as possible. The contract for
one has been let, but he said the
Nation needs three-two for duty
in the Atlantic and the third in
the Pacific.
The Supercarriers, of nearly Co.
900 tons. would have disappearing
bridges to permit the takeof and
landing of big bombers.
Calls Nation Vulnerable.
Mr.. Vinson declared in his state
ment:
This country is today vulner-
able to air attack.
The most effective defense
against such an attack is adequate
air power to meet it, and, above
all, to strike back at its sources.
1T is possible in modern
warfare to postpone or avoid de-
cisive action in the air.
mo matter how much strength
we may be able to assemble on
the ground or sea, we cannot hope
to defeat Soviet power unless we
have superior strength in the air.
Air warfare, once begun, moves
very rapidly toward decision. II
the air battle is lost, the war is
certain to be lost
Notes Production Momentum.
Mr.. VinSon took note of reports
that aircraft production has been
tagging, but said 'last month the
aircraft industry, under it's gath
ering momentum, produced more
alrplanes than the schedule called
for"
He said no new aircraft factories
would be needed, but added:
4ne program Will De costly. 1t
will require some sacrifices. But
anything less would compromise
the security of our Nation and the
safety of our people.
The immediate outlay for ad-
ditional base facilities would be in
the order of $400 million.
The 1873 combat wing force will
require the addition of approxi-
mately 100000 airmen."
Mr.. Vinson said he plans to in
troduce legislation to authorize the
expansion program and his COM
mittee will begin immediate hear
| ings on the matter.

cations to such an extent that the
world has lost confidence in the
Soviet's respect for treaties
Russia's President, Nikolai
Shvernik, renewed Russia's offer
first advanced two years ago
in a letter to President Truman
last night It's rejection had been
expected since United States Off
cials described it even then as
1.-The same old chestnut tied with a
new ribbon"
The proposal was that the
United States, Britain and France
join Russia and Communist China
in a disarmament program aimed
at guaranteeing world peace.
Russia Is Challenged.
In the first formal American re-
action, a State Department off,
cial today challenged Russia to
live up to existing obligations be-
fore taking on new promises.
Press Officer Michael ]. McDer-
mott told a news conference:
There is no sense in the Soviet
governments assuming new treaty
obligations until they have re-
stored the confidence of the world
by honoring existing obligations. -
The United Nations Charter
which Russia has signed. CON
Stitutes a solemn peace pact" Mr.
McDermott emphasized an d
added:
Need exists for the fulf1llment
of the United Nations Charter and
other obligations which the Krem-
lin attempts to sabotage rather
than for a new pact of the great
powers"
The United Nations overWhelm-
ingly rejected a similar Russian
proposal in November, 1949, as
completely misleading, and in
stead adopted an alternate Amer
lean plan calling for cooperation
to prevent aggression.
Atomic Restrictions Urged.
Mr.. Shervnik's message and an
accompanying 2,500-word resolu-
ton proclaiming Russia's alleged
dedication to peace, 7lso urged:
/. Elimination of alleged
American discrimination
against Russia, especially recent
moves to cut off shipments of
strategic materials to the Soviet
from the West and to end tariff
concessions on exports from
Russia and her satellites.
2. Prohibition of atomic weap-
ons, with international "inspec-
ton" to guarantee its observance.
officials recalled that the Soviet
idea of inspection" has been
turned down repeatedly by the
United Nations as inadequate,
while Russia has rejected a U. N.
plan providing for real interna-
tional control of atomic energy.
Delayed Reply to Truman.
The Shvernik letter and the
resolution of the Presidium of the
Supreme Soviet (Russia's supreme
state authority when the Soviet,
or parliament, is not in session.
amounted to a delayed reply to
a July 7 letter of President Tru-
man transmitting a congressional
resolution expressing friendship
for the Russian people.
Mr.. Truman asked the Soviet
President in his letter a month
ago to "acquaint the Soviet peo-
pie with the peace aims of the
American people and Govern
ment." But so far there has been
no mention in the Russian press
or radio of the American COM
munication.
BY contrast. Mr.. Truman asked
the State Department to make
public the Shervnik letter and So
Wet resolution as soon as he re-
ceived it through the Russian
Embassy here yesterday afternoon

 Some of the recent topics stud jed by biology students are moths and butterflies, and the metamor- phasis of the Monarch butterfly.
 A very interesting letter has been received from June Dunbar, a former Nome High School stu dent. The Dunbars have travelled extensively this summer. They visited 42 states, three provinces and one town in Mexico. The mileage showed 21,789 miles which is almost the distance around the world at the equator.
 They are now pleasantly settled at Boulder, Colorado. June plans to attend the University of Colo rado.

Syrian Army Gusts
 Premier In Favor Closer Soviet Ties

CAIRO, (P) - Syria's strong man - Col. Adib Shishekly - threw out of office a newly-ap- pointed premier who had urged closer ties between the Arab na- tions and Russia. The Syrian army seized control of the en- tire country.
 Radio Damascus said Marouf Dawalibi, a Populist Party lead CT who had been named premier only Wednesday night, and all members of his cabinet, were placed under arrest.
 Shishekly, who has led the last three coups in Syria, accused the Populists of trying to arouse the people against the army an d create new difficulties at a time when the country is facing i'm portant problems, especially in foreign policy"
 Syria occupies a strategic place in the Arab Middle East. In area it covers 73,857 square miles, a little smaller than South Dakota, but it is a key spot on a land bridge where Europe, Africa and Asia meet.

Cattle Grazing On Field Blamed For Crash of C-54 In Mexico

MEXICO CITY, (R) - Cattle grazing over an air strip were blamed last night by a Mexican official for the crash of C-54 plane in which 13 Mexicans were killed and seven injured.
 The plane-on a local flight to Acapulco and Mexico City with IS passengers and two crewmen came in for a stop-off at San Luis Zacatlan at dusk, but found the grass-grown airport overrun with feeding cattle.
 The pilot circled the field while attendants shooed the cattle away but the delay forced him to take off for Acapulco in the dark. The plane either ran into a hole, or hit post and burst into flames.

November 28 In m king inspections of Nome's eating and drinking es- tablishments, a definite health hazard has been found to be common practice.
 The bartender or waiter in carrying a cigaret to and from his lips, while serving guests, in evitably contaminateS his fingers with saliva. Then, through touch ing food and dishes the saliva is conveyed to these articles and thus eventually, to the customers mouth.
 The danger of this practice is obvious. Not only tuberculosis, but many other infectious dis eases can be spread in this man. ner. Esthetically, too, this habit is obnoxious.
 What holds true for eating es- tabliShmentS also applies to bar Der shops and beauty parlors in this instance.
 The public is requested to help protect its health against this menace.

HOW STRONG is YOUR HEART?

Heart disease is so widely feared
as a dangerous and Gripping con-
dition that few people are aware
of the strength and a9tabihty of
this muscular pump.
Actually, the heart is a remark
ably sufficient and efficient Or
gan. In the normal individual it
contracts on the average of some
seventy or eighty times per minute,
day and night throughout his lie
ime
During a normal life span, it
pumps a volume of blood sufficient
to float a ship as large as the Queen
Mary. And yet it almost never re-
lakes for a period longer thon one
second.
During exercise more blood must
circulate throughout the body and
the heart automatically responds
by pumping an increased amount
of blood. When the other muscles
of the body contract they produce
waste produce called Tactic acid.
The heart uses this waste produce
very effectively and in fact func-
lions more efficiently when plenty
of this muscular garbage is present
in the blood
When there is not sufficient oxy-
gen in the air, the muscles of the
leg become easily fatigued: the
heart. on the other hand, actually
operates more efficiently when the
oxygen in the blood is slightly re-
duced below normal When the ner-
yes to an ordinary muscle are sew

FOOD AT A PRICE

Am I spending too much on TOO
for my family? I want them to be
well-fed. but there are So many
other things we need toe
Many women in the last few years
Of high prices have asked such a
question of home economists who
work with food and prices.
At any time or price level, how
much a family will need to spend
on food to be sure of being W L. ed
nutritionally-not just filled up
will depend on four things. These
are the size of the family, the age
and activity of the family members,
the family eating habits, and how
much of the food is purchased in
the retail market.
Family size is important - two
cannot live as cheaply as one if
they eat the same as when alone,
but it may not cos. them twice as
much. In the same way a family of
six may not cost quite three times
as much to feed as a couple-there
are some savings in buying and
cooking for larger numbers.
Age and activity of the family
members. aside from special diets,
affect the costs too. A child of five
eats and needs considerably less
than a sixteen year older Likewise
man or woman doing office work
all day, with no strenuous activity,
eats and needs less than a carpen-
ter, farmer, or a housewife with
small children to run after.
A rough guide to proportion tie
costs for the same food habits based
on age and activity would be to
consider the ordinary adult as one
