AssoSiofeu FFess Sfuft WrNer
American air power in Europe
will be increased under a plan
announced today to rotate tao.
tical Air Force units for tempo.
rary tours of duty on the con-
tinent.
The program, starting in the
next few weeks, will send SQUAD
rons of Air Force fighter bomb
ers. which are used for the SUD.
port of ground forces. and troop
carrier outfits overseas Under q
schedule similar to that which
has been in use for several years
by the Strategic Air Commands
force of long-range bombers.
The official announcement said
the rotation plan was to test
the mobility IF fighter-bomber
and troop-carrier units and to
afford crew members the OPP
portunity to obtain valuable ex-
perience and indoctrination in
tactical Air Force operations in
the European area"
The Air Force didn't say so.
but the presence of additional
squadronS under a schedule
which will keep several on the
scene at all times also means q
net increase for air strength IN
Europe. II
Now IA Wings in Europe.
At present, the Air Force has
approximately IA wings of vari-
GUS categories based permanent-
ly in England or on the CONT
nent as part of the Western
European defense system. These
include interceptor outfits az
well as the jet f1ghter-bomber
wings whose mission is support
of ground forces. and troop car
rier units whose assignment IL
the transport of ground troops
or airborne forces and cargo In
any required speedy redeploy-
ment of forces.
In addition to the permanently
based interceptor. fighter-bomber
and troop carrier units in Eu-
rope, two wings Of Strategic Air
Command planes operate from
bases in Europe and North Africa
under the rotational pogram.
The schedule for these latter
units is two or three months
overseas, with another unit TAX
ing up station as soon as one
leaves to return home. Presum-
ably, the overseas tour for the
tactical and carrier units will
be similar.
Squadrons Involved.
The program will involve
squadrons of the 366th and
450th Fighter-Bomber Wings.
the 401st Fighter-Bomber Group
and medium troop carrier squad
rons of the 463rd and 464th
Troop Carrier Wing, all Of them
destined for American bases in
France. Home for the 366th
and 401st is Alexandria Air Force
Base, La. The 450th Is based
at Foster Air Force Base, Tex,
and the 463d and 464th at
Ardmore, Okla. and Pope Air
Force Base, N. c., respectively.
The er-bomber units are
QUILTED with North American
F86F Sabrejets and the troop
carriers use Fairchild Clio Fly
ing Boxcars.
, A wing consists of both the
planes and supporting service
personnel constituting complete
organization; a group is made up
only Of aircraft and air crews.

units. and consisting of two or
more squadrons. Normally q

early meeting" of the Security
Council to take up the shooting
down of a Navy plane of Siberia
Saturday by Soviet jet fighters.
The Navy plane was the sixth
United States military aircraft
shot down by the Spviets either
in Europe or over the Pacific,
but this was the first time the
United States has brought such
an incident before the Security
Council.
Mr.. Lodge returned unexpect-
eddy to New York from a holiday
at his Beverly, Mass, home to
make the surprise move. He
telephoned his request for the
Council meeting last night to
Francisco Urrutia of Colombia,
the 11-nation groups president
for September. Aides on the
United States delegation said he
would follow up with a formal
request by letter today for a
meeting possibly next week.
Calls Attack Unprovoked.
In a brief statement from his
delegation headquarters, Mr..
Lodge said he had asked the
Council meeting ito consider the
situation arising from the un-
provoked attack by aircraft
Of the Soviet Union over inter-
national waters. -
Revised accounts of the Soviet
attack, released in Washington
yesterday. indicated that the
American investigation was still
in progress.

Position Ii Revised.
The Navy Department also re-
vised the position of the, attack
previously announced by the
State Department. but said it
still was well away from Russian
territory.
The first United States note
had said the attack took place
approximately 100 miles east
of Vladivostok and A miles from
the Siberian coast. A Navy
spokesman said yesterday plot
ting Of bearings reported by the
survivors indicated the plane
crashed into the sea about 125
miles southeast of Vladivostok
and A miles of Siberia.
Nine of the 10 United States
crewmen aboard the two-engine
Neptune patrol bomber were res

plane.
The survivors said they were

MIG-15 jets opened fire on them
without warning. With one wing
on fire, the plane crashed and
sank in the sea. The United
States protested the attack as
"wanton and unprovoked" in a
strongly worded note to the
Moscow government.

Watkins Group
By Cecil Holland and
jones Y. Newton

Attorney Edward Bennett VIII
Inns protested. today that coun-
sci for the special Senate COM
mittee stduying censure charges
against Senator Mccarthy had
submitted "a vigorously parti-
san" brief in the public hearings.
cit is a prosecutors brief"
said Senator McCarthy's "a
year-old attorney.
Mr.. Williams added that COM
mittee Counsel E. Wallace Chad
wick had arrived at some star
thing conclusions" in the brief
without having heard Senator
McCarthy's side as to the law
and the facts of the case.
Mr.. Chadwick defended the
brief and said he and his as
sociates had made IAN honest
effort to produce an impartial
brief"
Session Dull Otherwise.
The exchange enlivened an
otherwise dull session as the
committee, headed by Senator
Watkins. Republican, of Utah,
held the fourth day of the public
censure hearing.
Senator Watkins said the COM
mittee hoped to complete to-
morrow morning the introduc-
ton of evidence against Senator
Mccarthy.
The chairman recessed the
morning session at 1870 m, an
hour earlier than usual, to hold
O closed committee meeting and
arrange interviews with num-
Der of prospective witnesses. He
refused to identify the witnesses
but said the committee had en-
countered difficulty in contracting
some of them because some were
on vacation and others had taken
a long holiday week end. He
refused also to say whether he
had Subpoenaed witnesses for
Senator Mccarthy.
Winchell Mentioned
AS the hearing continued, de-
tailed charges were made public
by Senator Flanders. Republican.
of Vermont, to support his &C
cusation that Senator mccarthy
received q classified FBI docu-
ment and allowed the document
to fall into the hands of COL
un1nist Walter Winchell.
The Flanders charges said
either the person who supplied
the FBI information to Senator
Mccarthy or Senator Mccarthy
himself were responsible for falsi-
flying" the document that was
offered during the Army Me
earthly hearings as an FBI let
ter warning of possible espionage
in the Army's Fort Monmouth
laboratories.
The document was a 21a-page
letter that, it was subsequently
brought out, had been taken
almost verbatim from a 15-page
FBI memorandum sent to the
Army in 1851, and altered as to
the heading and the ending.
"Some one forged q document
which was offered as genuine be-
fore a Senate committee dis
charging its official duties, and
Senator Mccarthy has the clue
to the forgery which he has re-
fused to divulge," the Flanders
charges said.
Identity Not Revealed.
Senator Mccarthy under oath
refused to divulge who had given
him the Mccarthy letter other
than to say it was a young Army
