General Urges More
Emphasis on Strategic
Bombing in Defense
By J. A. O'Leoy

1t. Gen. Curtis E. LIE May. head
of the Strategic Bomber Com
mand, today agreed to the send
ing of more ground troops to
Western Europe, but declared the
big deterrent to war in the next
few years will be American air
power.
Other highlights of the gen.
erals testimony were:
l. That more emphasis should
be placed on strategic bombing
in the current build up of Amer
lean defenses.
2. That Japan was already beat
en- when the first atom bombs
were dropped, and would have
been out of the war in two weeks
3. That there has been no real
strategic bombing in the Korean
war.
Fails to Back Wherry Plan.
Although Gen. LIE May, who was
invited at the request of Senator
Wherry, Republican, of Nebraska,
stressed the Importance of air
power, he did not indorse the
Wherry resolution against sending
any more ground troops to West
.ern Europe until Congress adopts
a policy on the subject.
When Senator Lodge, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts, first asked
him if he is for the resolution, the
general replied:

it is stated"
He added that II think I know

accomplish, but I don't think we

18-year-olds annually for college
study. It also would extend draft

Mr.. Young denied he ever received

He asserted that Mr.. Bohannon,

Mr.. Boyle, now Democratic

and Mr.. Young frequently assisted
him there in political campaign
activities during that period, Mr.
Young explained.
In declaring that he turned
