lights on and were expected to
land but failed to respond to
radio calls.

| Two New Estimates
OF Red Air Strength
Are Made Public
BY the Associated Press

Two new estimates were before
the American people today on
how their air strength stacks up
against Soviet Russia's:
/. Word from United States
diplomatic sources that there
has been a rapid increase in
Soviet air potential" through the
conversion of much Of Russia s
20,000-plane force to modern jet
planes.
2. A statement by Representa-
tive Scrivner Republican OF
Kansas, chairman of a House
Appropriations boom mittee
handling Air Force funds, that
the United States outnumbers
Russia 8 to 2 in the air and that
the Soviets have no long range
bombers able to reach the United
States and return to home bases
The diplomatic officials. who
may not be named. yesterday
made available an overall sum-
mary of Communist military
strengths million men under
arms in Russia, Eastern Ger

They figured that AZ million
Of the 6 million are in ground
forces; that % divisions are in

vance into Europe; that the bulk

complement Of tanks and self
propelled guns.
Backing up the % divisions
are another so Soviet divisions
based in Western Russia and
Eastern satellite nations. And
the satellites themselves have
about 80 divisions, twice the
strength Of 1947.
Communist air strength was
calculated this way by the dip
lomatic officials:
New types of medium and
heavy bombers, including jet
models. have been observed.
(These presumably would include
at least two new designs of long
range planes. one 4-engined,

Medium Bombers Doubled.
Since 1851 the number Of
medium bombers, called by the
Russians TU4 and closely re-
sembling the appearance and
capability of the American B29
or B50, has doubled.
Almost all Soviet fighter
planes now are jets: in 1851
only 20. per cent were of these
modern types.
In 1851 the Red air force
fleet of light bombers had no
jet-powered planes. Now more
than two-thirds Of the light
bombers are jets.
The diplomats said the Soviet
air force remains at a steady
overall strength of about 10000
planes but that it is the thor
ough going modernization that
is increasing the potential so
fast.
Estimate by Collins.
Mr.. ,Scrivner also used the
10000 plans figure. saying it was
an estimate given by Gen. j.
Lawton Collins, United States
representative on the military
committee of NATO. Gen.
Collins also has said that there
are available to the command of
NATO forces about 1000 planes
ready for immediate fighting
and that on the ground there
are available about 100 divisions.) }
Mr.. Scriyner told the House.
during debate on military appro-
priations. that balanced against
Soviet air strength were more
than $1,000 planes Of the United
States Air Force, plus 10000
more Navy and Marine planes.
He referred to a recently pub
lished picture of a reported new
Soviet jet bomber and said:
LET me state that responsible
intelligence sources informed
me that they have valid reasons
for believing the picture is not
authentic but is q phony."
However. Mr.. Scrivner said
that even though present Rus
sian planes could not make q
two-way flight to bomb the
United. States they might try
one-way suicidal missions. And
he also said it would be foolish
to presume that Russia is not
working on better planes.
