Calls For Increase In Big Bombers To Deter Aggression

MADISON, Wis, R-Gen. Ma than F. Twining said last night that the plans for a 137-wing Air Force by mid-1957 "call for an increase in our long range bomber force that is capable of striking back at an aggressor wherever he will be hurt most"
 The chief of air staff, in an ad- dress before the Madison Cham Der of Commerce, said North Am erican cities are now within reach of hundreds of Russian planes op- erating across the Arctic.
 ''The best and perhaps the only way to prevent Soviet bombers from imposing terrible destruction on the United States is to main tain the balance of long-range air power in our favor," he said.
 At present, the Strategic Air Command has about a half dozen wings (30 planes to a wing of heavy bombers. All are combina- ton piston : jet engined Convair B-36 models, which have a range of about 12,OOO miles.
 A few months ago Air Secre- tary Talbott disclosed that enough new eight-jet Boeing B-52s are on order to provide substantially more than seven wings of planes.
 The B-52 is described officially as even faster than the medium BAY which flies over 500 miles an hour.

Kefauver Protests Army $2OO Million Contract With General Motors

WASHINGTON, kH - Sen. Ke- fauver D-TenD protested today that the Army had signed a 2O0- milIion-dolIar contract for tanks yesterday with a General Motors subsidiary although asked to hold it up pending a Senate investiga- ton.
 Kefauver made this complaint at opening of a public hearing on the contract by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
 T don't know why they didn't wait until this hearing," Kefauver said.
 John Slezak, undersecretary of the Army who handles procure ment, was on hand to defend award of the contract to a single producer, Fisher Body Division Of General Motors. Chrysler was the only other bidder.
 Kefauver said no one charged that special pressure came from any source to award" the exclu- siva contract to General Motors.
 Instead, he said concentrating defense production in single producer, instead of maintaining a broad defense base with numer- ous producers, is the prime issue.

Pre-Lenten Advertising Responsible For Rise In Alaska Salmon Prices

SEATTLE, R- Seattle salmon brokers today report advancing prices for canned salmon. It is attributed in part to the relatively low 1853 pack of Alaska pink sal mon, in part to heavy orders, in anticipation of pre-Lenten pro- motion and advertising campaign.
 In the past week pink salmon prices have advanced $1 a case to $19. Chum salmon prices also have advanced about $1. The higher priced red salmon has not been affected. Tuna prices are also reported advancing.
 Salmon, soup, milk and maca- roni groups are participating in a joint advertising campaign, bel ginning next month. Some ad- vance orders for salmon are be- ieved in the trade to be due to this promotion plan.

Gov. HeintzIeman Tells Senate Committee Alaska Ready For
 Statehood With Federal Funds
By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R-A reliable source said after Alaska Governor Heintzleman's appearance at closed door session of the Senate Territories subcommittee:
 "You can say the governor made a good witness for state hood"
 One source described the gover- nor'S statements to the subcom- mittee as 'quite contradictory to those he made last year at the time of his nomination.
 Asked directly if he thought Alaska could support statehood now, the governor reportedly re piled that it could in view of amendments, already adopted by the full committee, to provide the new state with additional money for roads and harbor surveys.
 These amendment, adopted last week, would authorize appropria- ton by the federal government of 48 million dollars for road con struction in the first six years of Alaska statehood, beginning with IT million in the first year and scaling downward to one million in the sixth.
 It also would authorize appro- priations, on a sliding scale, for operation and maintenance of All aska's roads: 3 million dollars in each of the first years, 2 million in each of the second 5 years and 1 million in each of the third 5 years.
 The sources said Heintzleman also proposed certain amendments having the effect of liberalizing land laws in Alaska.

Molotov U Upsets
 Plan To Consider CerrnanUnif
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

BERLIN, tR - French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault called today for United Nations dis armament conference provided all hostilities such as the Indochina war are first ended and aggres- sion outlaWed.
 His proposal coumtered a dis armament conference proposition made yesterday by Soviet Foreign Minister V. MI Molotov.
 Mol0tov asked the Big Four to sponsor a worldwide disarmament meeting which would include Red China and other states that are not now members of the United Nations.
 Raising of tn disarmament question apparently stymied for the moment a concerted western plan to force Russia into consid- ering German unification now. The West, with Secretary Dulles in the chair, had intended to bring up the German question immedi- ately after the session opened.
 Word from behind the closed doors of the conference hall, how ever, was that Molotov immedi- ateIy took the floor and upset the apple cart. Thereupon Bidault of fered his resolution, calling for an end of hostilities and for condem- nation of any encouragement or support of aggression. It presum- ably was aimed at putting new pressure on the Communist world to end the war in Indochina.
 After Bidault spoke, Britain's Foreign Secretary Eden took the floor indicating that whether the West likes 1t or not the conference faced 5 full scale debate on a topic that wasn't even on the agenda.

Congress Fails Provide New District Judgeship For Third Division

WASHINGTON, tR - A com promise bill agreed upon yester- day by a Senate-House committee does not provide for any new district court judgeship for All aska.
 There have been strong pres sures for several years for crea- ton of a second judgeship at An chorage where the great growth of the past decade has pyramided court duties.
 The bill does, however, provide for two new judgeships for the 9th US. Circuit Court of Appeals, which handles cases on appeal from district court of seven west ern states, Alaska and Hawaii.
 The bill is a compromise be- tween measures approved separ- ately by the two legislative branches last year. Ii now must be accepted by the House and Senate before it goes to the White House.
 The Senate approved a new dis trict judgeShip for Alaska last year but the House didn't.

Substitute Bill For 
 Amendment

WASHINGTON, R - Senator Knowland of California, the Re publican floor leader, announced today that a substitute for the Bricker treaty-power amendment will be introduced in the Senate today with substantial Demo- cratic support"
 Knowland declined at a press conference to say whether Sen. Bricker R-Ohio), whose proposed constitutional amendment has aroused vigorous opposition from President Eisenhower, would join in offering the proposal. Other senators said this seemed unlike ly.
 Tt is now my belief that an amendment will be offered today with substantial bipartisan sup port-it will be introduced before the Senate adjourns," Knowland said.
 The Californian said the "sub- stantial progress" had been made overnight in attempting to find language on which influential Republicans and Democrats could agree.
 Even if an agreement can be reached which provides a middle ground for many senators, the big question seemed to be-
 Can Senate leaders muster the necessary two-thirds vote requt- ed for a proposal to change the Constitution?

Tito Pledges Independent Foreign Policy

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, (R - President Tito was re elected unanimously by parliament today after proclaiming Yugoslavia's willingness to do business with all nations-including Russia and the Soviet satellites-on a basis of mutual respect"
 The 61-year-old chief of this Communist state, his hair mark edly more grey than a year ago and his voice rasping occasionally from a severe cold, was given an ovation as he appeared before the lawmakers to deliver a 7O,OOO- word state-of- the-nation message before his election.
 He pledged that Yugoslavia will pursue an independent path in it's foreign policy despite friendly 0vertUres from Russia since last spring after StaIin's death.
 
 But simultaneously, he made it clear that he would not part com p3ny with the west, which came to this country's aid after it's break with the Cominform in 1948.
 Tito was the only candidate for the presidency put forward by the country's only political party, the Communist ruled Socialistic AL lance. His election was unani- nous. He will take his oath of office Saturday before joint session of parliament.
