Taft Law HEARINGS
Incomplete Without
Durkin, Murray Says
BY the Associated Press

Senator Murray, Democrat, of
Montana, told the Senate Labor
Committee today that it's hear
ingS on revision of the Taft
Hartley law will be incomplete
and inadequate" unless Secretary
of Labor Durkin is called to
testify.
He made a formal motion at
the start of today'S session, billed
in advance as the last public
hearing on the measure, that
Secretary Durkin be summoned
to give the administration views
on how the law should be
changed.
Senator Goldwater, Republican,
OF Arizona, acting committee
chairman in the absence of Sen
ator H. Alexander Smith, Re-
publican, of New Jersey, told
Senator Murray his motion
would be taken up at the first
executive session of the full
committee, possibly within the
next few days.

Senator Murray criticized the
failure of Mr.. Durkin or any

Joseph p. Ryan told Senate
investigators today his Interna-

The AFL ordered the Long

as the deadline. but Ryan said

date laid down by the AFL.
He refused to disclose at this
time, however, what 1t would be.
Ryan was indicted by the New
York County grand jury on April
10 on a charge Of misapplication
of about $1l. 800 in union funds.
The indictment contained 80
counts altogether. He entered a
plea of not guilty.

Gen. Nathan F. Twining, new
ly designated Air Force Chief OF
Staff. is described by Pentagon
associates as a natural leader
who will produce a more CO.
hesive Air Force.
Yesterdays announcement
that he will take the top post
on June 20. when Gen. Hoyt s.
Vandenberg's term expires. was
not entirely unexpected. The
rumor has been going the rounds
for days.
Gen. Twining has been vice
chief of staff. He was acting
chief during Gen. Vandenberg's
illness some time ago. He was
the No. 2 man of the Air Force
in World War II and considered
the man most responsible for
blasting the industries Of Ger
many and Japan to bits.

like a fullback, the 55-year -old
officer is well liked. has a sense

Knows Alaska Defenses.
The new Air Force head knows
more about the defenses of
Alaska than probably any mill
tary man alive. having been in
command of all the military
forces there before becoming vice
chief Of staff. The veteran
strategic air commander COM
mented only last August that
Alaska was safe from enemy at
tack as a result of the "heart-
land concept" which has been
perfected in the last few years.
He has been pegged as the
originator Of the defense con-
cept, which was set up to make
Alaska invulnerable to a sur
prise attack. He says Alaska is
too big to plan defenses for every
mile Of the vast interior and ex-
tensive shorelines. The heart
land concept was adopted to give
the military a strong core near
Anchorage and Fairbanks from
which operations could be ex-
tended quickly to the far corners
of the territory.
Gen. Twining has strongly ad-
vanced the idea that long-range
bombing within an attacking
enemy nation offers the best
and. as he once put it, perhaps
the only opportunity to strike a
decisive blow"
A West Pointer and an Air
Corpsman since 1925, he is a
seasoned career man.
To South Pacific.
In January, 1943, he became
commanding general of the 18th
Air Force. with headquarters in
the South Pacific. The follow
ing summer he was designated
commander of all Allied Air
Forces in the South Pacific area.
He directed the air movements
before and during the occupa-
ton Of the Treasury Islands and
Bougainville.
After the end of the European
phase Of the war, Gen. Twining
took command of the goth Air
Force, based on Guam. He re-
mained in that post until Ja-
pans defeat.
He had a hard time once
during the war. He was rescued
in February, 1943. by a ply
Catalina flying boat from the
Coral Sea while commander of
the 18th Air Force. He and IA
others spent six nights and five
days on two life RATS, after
their plane was forced down
while on a combat mission. He
was commanding the heavy
bomber when it dunked in the
darkness and sank in less than
minute during heavy storm.
Gen. Twining and his COM
panions were so crowded on their
RATS that they occasionally slid
over the sides into the ocean
so they could stretch out, despite
the sharks. Once a shark at
tackled but was beaten off with
a paddle.
All the men could salvage
from the plane was a chocolate
bar, a can Of sardines and half
canteen of water. They caught
little rain water and shot two
albatrosses. Finally the raft was
located by Bit Flying Fortress.
His war service was so ex-
emplary that the late King
George vi made Gen. Twining
an honorary commander of the
military division Of the Most
Excellent Order Of the =. British
Empire. "
Gen. Twining first saw military
service when he was with the
oregon National Guard and dur
