failing Of Two Men
By the Associuted Press

officials said yesterday the
State Department has drafted a
strong protest to the Soviet gov
ernment against the reported
Imprisonment Of two American
citizens, one a soldier missing
from Berlin since 1949.
1t was expected that Ambassa-
dor Charles E. Bohlen at Mos
COW would be instructed to lodge
a strong complaint against Rus
sia's failure to notify the United
States it was holding the two
men. to demand full information
about them, and to insist upon
their prompt release.
Earlier this month, Dutch
prisoners released by the Rus
slams said that Pfc. Homer Cox,
33, of Oklahoma City, was being
held in Soviet prison but ap-
parently had been granted clem-
ency from a 20-year sentence
for alleged spying and would
soon be released.
Dutch prisoners also reported
the imprisonment of Leland
Towers, a merchant seaman
from San Francisco.
The State Department had
been investigating the two cases
to determine insofar as possible
the accuracy of the Dutch ac-
counts before making a vigorous
protest to Moscow.

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE,

Brig. Gen. Dale o. Smith, di-
rector of education at the vast
Air University here, also is hope
full that an interim school can
be founded pending choosing Of
a permanent site for the Acad-

Right now there are seven
permanent sites under consid-
Grafton Originally there were
$50 suggestions). Each one
of the seven is fighting for
the academy, whose facilities
alone would prove a plum in any
municipal pudding. California

of the buildings. But it is one
of those things which constitu-
ents write their congressman
about.
Possible Sites Listed.
AS of the moment, the fol-
lowing places are being consid-
cred for various reasons such as
freedom from weather which
might cut down flying, conven-
ience Of location and so on:
Beal Field, Calf; Randolph

School of Aviation Medicine and
an important crew training CEN

But is was explained, this drain

ficers is handicapping these two
services. Moreover, these grad
yates particularly are trained
for the work to be done in the
Army and Navy. They require
considerable training before
qualifying to perform the many
specialized functions of an Air
Force junior officer. Such an
educational process is wasteful
of young mans time and also
of the tax dollar, Gen. Smith
contended.
AS to an interim site. the idea
of the Air Force is to start a
small plant SO as to ge the
academy into actual being. 1t
is prepared to do so at any time,
Gen. Smith explained, and the
place of the interim academy
could be on any number of Air
Force bases.
There is one fear here. An
interim academy, basically un-
suited to permanency, might
actually become permanent. pos
