IT could not last indefinitely
: Slowly Walt began to give way
under the terrific hammering,
grudgingly inching back, forced
to fight defensively. Suddenly he
broke away and seized a pitchfork
which leaned against the wall. Ben
parried the stab, seized the pitch
fork above the tines and with a
quick wrench tore it from Waits
hands. He swung it Justify and
caught Walt above the ear with
the hard handle.
Walt went down under the blow
and Ben reversed the pitchfork
and Sprang forward TO stand over
his rival, the tines aimed at Waits
chest. He said harshly, II oughta
stick this right into your yellow
belly! But thank God / amt as
lowdown as you are. Get UP and
get out! And if you don't stay

He stepped back and Walt got

He said In a choked voice, "Guns

JEFF walked slowly back to
the hotel. He went up the front
steps and into the lobby. Inside
the doorway he stopped abruptly.
Samuel ]. Cooper was standing
there talking earnestly to a wo-

Decidedly he couldn't. She

that they murdered my husband.
He was shot. Shot in the back.

"He was forty-eight." She

NEW USE FOR B-se

The Air Force made an important announcement re-
Gently when it revealed that the B36 heavy bomber had
been equipped with device to launch and recover
fighter plane. The idea that the B36 would carry the
small speedy fighter to within two three hundred miles
Of prospective target release it and head back home
The fighter would drop atomic bomb and overtake
the bomber being hauled aboard and the B-36 would
return and land without having been within several
hundred miles of the target
The great advantage this gives the u s. Air Force is
one Of having speedy and small target for defense
forces attempting to halt the u S. aerial attack The
Jor criticism of the B36 to date has been that it is too
slow and therefore, makes excellent target for
aircraft jet fighter nterceptos Now that
carry fighter in its fuseage, launch as much as five
hundred miles from the target never coming below forty
or fifty thousand feet it becomes useful weapon
1t is also thought that the fighter the F-S4 will be
exceedingly difficult to intercept since it travels at
speeds approaching those of sound and able to fly
attitudes up to $4,000 feet
Since the United States has spent many billions in
building It's present fleet of B36 heavy bombers this
adoption highly significant The B36 bomber has
top speed Of about $50 miles hour using four jet
engines and six reverse propeller engines It is obvious
that fleet Of B36s could also make Of their
capabilities to transport similar number Of fighters
any in the world where could launch them to act
protective for other craft, and recover them
after the fighters had accomplished their mission.
