THE COVER. Paul Reveres famous ride to
Lexington on the night Of April 1919, ITS,
is familiar to every student of US. history.
But even if you consider yourself an authority
on the American Revolution, don't waste your
time trying to identify the village shown in
the detail from The Midnight Ride of Paul
Revere" by the late Grant Wood. The village
existed only in the imagination of the noted
artist, whose aim was to portray typical
New England countryside. The original oil
painting is part of the collection of the Metro
politan Museum of Art in New York City.
PROPHETS or DOOM. Are you worried
about the future - this country's in general
and yours in particular? If you are it's small
wonder, because reputable experts are still
predicting national disaster. But think twice
before you believe them, says Caroline Bird,
whose article bet On The Future!" appears
in next weeks issue. The writer recalls that
some years ago the experts foresaw, among
other things, mass unemployment, mass in
sanity, mass alcoholism and race suicide. Her
analysis of past and present predictions will
give you hope in spite of gloom peddlers.

toned Bendix's starring role in the 1913
movie, The Babe Ruth Story" and Bendix
casually said that hundreds of skeptics have
asked him if he really hit a homer in the
movie, or if the bali sailed to right field on
wire. When Lieber heard the surprising true
account of Bendixs role as Ruth he said,

More veterans were able to
buy homes during the last year
throughout the country than
during 1852. but District area
veterans were not so fortunate.
In the Washington Metro
politan Area home purchases
by veterans fell of by 26 per
cent while the total for the
country as q whole rose by S
per cent.
But the outlook locally for
the new year was described by
a Veterans Administration
source today as good.
1.-THE signs for next year in
the Washington area seem to
be improving.
Though there's no exact way
to pin down the reason for a
decline in veteran purchases
here while sales in the country
as a whole were improving,
mortgage money probably was
q big factor.
Behind the roster outlook for
1854, said VA, is an apparent
improvement in the availa-
bility of mortgage funds and
an increase in the number Of
applications by leading insti-
tutions and VA loan guaran-
ties.
A year-end look at VAS
home-loan activities during
1853 showed today that veter-
ans bought about a fifth of the
new homes built throughout
the country this year.
The $2,250, 100000 they cost
was a potent shot in the arm
for the home building busi-
ness and the economy as a
whole.
Altogether, veterans bought
100000 homes in 1858 at a
total cost Of about $3.5 billion.
This included about 10000
new homes and 10000 old
homes.
Average price was $11,275-
or $3.50 more than the av-
erage for the year before.
This years volume Of sales
to veterans represented a gain
of about 1900 units over the
Evening star., 1954-01-02

In 1858 VA was obliged to
pay only 2.4O0 claims. These
were slightly fewer than in
1852 and considerably fewer
than the Ass claims at the
peak Of volume Of such claims
reached in 1850.
Altogether. VA has been re-
quired to make good on o
total of 1900 home loans
during the nine years Of the
program. This Is about one
half Of one per cent Of the
100000 loans guaranteed, or
about one claim in every 180
cases.
This, said VA, was an Eek
cellent repayment record"
In 1858. less than a third Of
VA homes sold were priced at
under $4,000. In the year be-
fore, 40 per cent sold for $10.-

Gets $50 MPH JETS
For Ciy's Defense
By Harry Lever

The District Air National
Guard has just acquired four
F-86 Sabres for the jet-age de-
tense of Washington.
The fighters, which are in the
650-mile-an-hour class, are the
first Of at least 10 slated for
District air guard use. They are
replacing the much slower and
obsolescent F-51 Mustangs, pro-
peller-driven fighters on which
the safety of Washington from
air attack previously had de-
pended.
The balance of the allotment
Of 10 Sabres is expected to be in
service with the air guard at
Andrews Air Force Base, Md,
before the guard leaves for Is

Cape Cod. Mass.
Props-tO-Jets Transition.
Col. Melvin c. Carlow. Chief
of Staff for Air of the District
National Guard. and as such. the
No. / air guard officer here, ex-
pressed qualification over the
transition from the Mustangs to
the jets.
"Our principal mission is the
defense Of the Nations capital
and having F-86 Sabrejets will
permit us to train toward more
effective accomplishment of that
mission" he said.
Col. Carlow, who is a senior
pilot for Capital Airlines in civ
ilian life, said the air guards
men, with vast Air Force and
Korean experience in jets, did
not relish a return to World
War II equipment when they re-
verted to Air National Guard
status in the fall of 1852, and
were given the Mustangs to fly.
But, he added:
1T was to their everlasting
credit that they took this back
ward step in stride and worked
diligently to keep their prof.
cheney at the highest level"
He said plans already are in
operation to acquaint the pilots
with the new aircraft. To speed
the transition program, the Air
Force has made available to the
guard an F-86 Mobile Training
Detachment. Classroom work for
the pilots and maintenance men
also has commenced.
5OO-Mile Combat Radius.
The F-86 is manufactured by
North American Aviation. A
sweptwing fighter, it has wing
span of 81 feet and measures the

Its gross weight is 10000 pounds
and it has a combat radius in
