Fa1Ietter and Burke
Speak EncouragingIy
OF Air and Sea Power

Two defense officials today had
encouraging things to say about
the Nations air and sea power.
Secretary of the Air Force Fin
letter said the United States is
better able to attack Russia by air
than Russia is to strike at this
country.
And Rear Admiral Arleigh A.
Burke, deputy chief of staff to the
commander of naval forces in the
Far East, told a Pentagon news
conference that the Navy in the
Far East can cope successfully
with any all-out air or submarine
attacks which the enemy can
stage now in that area.
Finletter Backs Contention.
Secretary Finletter, In a copy
righted interview with United
States News and World Report
supported his contention by point
ing out that new models of the
giant B-36 intercontinental bomb
er have been equipped with jet
engines and new and faster
sister of the B-36-the B-52-is
being built.
Both these planes are built to
carry the atom bomb. So is the
smaller BAT, a siX-jet speedstel
which Mr.. Finletter said is "the
fastest bomber we know Of in the
world"
Mr.. Finletter said the new B-52
will have intercontinental range
and the B-36 with a 10,000-mile
range would be able to get
through Russian defenses.
Admiral Burke, reporting more
on the present situation, disclosed
that the Navy has made a num-
ber of amphibious landings on the
east coast of Korea-purely as
feints-which have thrown the
enemy's land forces off balance
and kept pressure off United Ma
tons land forces.
Look Like Real Thing.
The officer explained that these
are all full-scale landings which
would appear to a shore observer
as the real thing. The American
forces are withdrawn as soon as
their mission of drawing enemy
troops into the area is accom-
plished.
While expressing confidence in
the Navy's ability to cope with
all-out air or submarine attacks,
Admiral Burke made no secret OF
the fact that the Navy is In need
of more ships for what he called
two conflicting missions.
One mission, he explained, is
direct support Of the land forces,
The other is to protect supply
ships and at the same time keep
the fleet intact and ready to repel
full-scale air or submarine
attack.

LEAVE-Here are some pertin-
ent questions and answers COM
piled by the Civil Service Com
mission regarding the use of 1850
annual leave.
@. What are the exceptions
to the rule that all annual leave
earned during the calendar year
1850 must be used on or before
June 80. 1851?
A. Persons assigned to perma-
nent duty stations outside the
continental limits Of the United
States on, June 80. 1851. and per-
sons serving in the Nations armed
forces on that date are the ex-
ceptions from this rule. BY June
80, 1851. civilian employees are
required to use all annual leave
earned in 1850, or forfeit the
unused portion.
@. If a civilian employe enters
the armed forces after January
II, 1850, and is in the armed
| forces on June 80, 1851. can he
choose to have his accrued an
nual leave, including that fol
1850, remain to his credit?
| A. Yes. Or he may choose te
receive a lump-sum payment fol
that leave on entry into military
service.
@. If a Federal employe left
his civilian job during 1850 te
enter the armed forces. but re.
turns to civilian duty before june
80, 1851. must he use his ac-
crued annual leave for 1850 be-
fore the end of June to avoio
losing it?
| A. Yes. unless he returns from
military service at too late date
to use any of his 1850 leave credit
The unused leave for 1850 will be
added to his total accrued leave
| if any. -
@. began my Federal civilian
service in August, 1850. Must ]
use the 10 days of annual leave
have accrued before the June
80, 1851, deadline?
| A. Yes. The law states that
annual leave accrued in the calen-
| dar year 1850 must be used before
the close of business ON June 80
1851.
@. If a Federal employe is sepa-
rated before June 80, 1851, and
is given a lump-sum payment for
his accrued leave. including that
| for 1850, will he have to refund
part of the amount if he returns
to duty after June 80 but before
the time covered by the lump
sum payment runs out?
A. The employe would not be
required to refund any part of
the unexpired leave accrued during
1850. However, If he returns to
the Federal service before the ex-
piration of the time covered by
a lump-sum payment for leave
other than for 1850. he will be re-
quired to make a refund for the
unused portion Of that annual
leave.
@. I was working overseas as a
Federal employe on September 6
1850, when the General Appropri-
alton Act, with the leave rider
was enacted. I returned to the
United States early in February
viii I lose the annual leave
accrued during 1850 if I don't use
| it by June 80, 1851?

located on June 80. 1851. not
where he was located on the date

Lemon Drop Kid" Runyon wrote
one story under that title and
Hope plays another and what is
meat to the comedians followers
may we'll be poison to the writer's
devoted fans.
Runyon's character was a wist-
fully humorous man. one OF fate's
natural born fall guys. The come
dian who assumes Lemon Drops
name in the picture which opened
yesterday at the Warner is about
at wistful as a Marine top ser
geant. And, as for being a fall
guy, he win tell you himself that
he is the one who knocks every
body dead. AZ
All this leaves "The Lemon Drop
Kid" a Hope picture travelling lp-
der the alias Of a Runyon work.
There are those who won't like it,
although Paramount expects these
to be outnumbered by those who
do.
Paramount has. okcourse. backed

ishly large and expensive casts
that come with Hope movies.
Members Of this group. Lloyd
Nolan, Jane Darwell. Fred Clark.

This would vegbeen the sSnti-
mentally laughable, biography of
a witless little man. VINO undertook
to live by his wits. What he did
was neither bright nor very moral,
but he always was in there trying
on both counts. People believed
in him no matter how outrageous
his conduct because he was a SYM
pathetic sort.
Hope is flagrantly a character
