This calls for more permanent
housing both that built with
appropriated funds and on the

housing may go only on q per-
manent base. the Air Force is
classifying more OF its bases as

Mr.. Talbot said that while
Wherry housing has been d Cod

OF fiimsy construction.
The Secretary declared that
failure Of trained airmen to re-

ing the Government more than
50 billion 3 year.
Almost without exception, the

assurances: That II their living

ask for nothing better than to

Mr.. Talbot listed the follow

improve Air Force life:
/. Sponsorship Of legislation to
enable Air Force families to call
a civilian doctor at Government
expense.
2. Plans to provide an airman
with at. least so days notice of

tegic Air Command BAT bomber
from MacDill Air Force Base at
Tampa. Fla, set q new endur-
ance record for jet aircraft IS
hours on q 1900 nonstop

The Air Force at MacDill base
said it was no record attempt but
merely q study, of air crew Ia
tigue, and of the range potential
OF the six-jet medium bomber.
Nevertheless, it was consider
ably longer than any other BAT
fight and, so far as is known
here. was much the longest nom
stop flight q jet airplane has
made. 81
Several refuelings from Boeing
KC97 tanker aircraft were IN
volved, and the course ranged
to Nova Scotia and to the
northern coast Of South America.
Mr.. Talbot also annunced
that:
/. Every fighter plane in the
Air Force is now jet propelled.
2. A refuelled BAT bomber has
set an endurance record for Jet

WoIfson Is Reported
Buying Heavily Into
Montgomery Ward

gss = s
Louis e. Wolfson. who controls
the Capital Transit Co.. and his
associates were reported yester-
day to be buying heavily in
another company with large
liquid observation-disclosures Ward
e. Co.
The Associated Press quoted
the Chicago Tribune as report
ing that A. M. Kiddler b Co,
New York securities firm. had
purchased up, to 10000 shares Of
Montgomery Ward for the WOLF
son interests, and added:
Reports also were current
that friends Of Wolfson in var
ious parts of the country are
buying up Montgomery Ward
stock In his behalf"
The stock closed Friday at
$74.50 q share, compared with
$67.87 a week before.
Avery Biggest Stakeholder.
Montgomery Ward is the Ma
tons second largest mail order
house. Sewell Avery, long time
board chairman. is reported to
be the largest individual stock
holder with 64.366 of the ap-
proximately 6.5 million shares
outstanding.
Stockholders have expressed
some dissatisfaction with Mr..
Avery's policies in recent years,
: but his control has never been
challenged seriously. One point
of criticism was that in the post
war years Sears Roebuck and Co..
the largest mail order house, car
ried out an extensive expansion
program, while Montgomery
Ward did not.
Montgomery Ward. however.
maintained an extremely liquid
position. Financial writer's at
one time pointed out that its
shares were selling at about the
same amount of cash per share
In the treasury.
The Chicago Tribune said yes
terday the Avery policy has re-
suited In company cash OF about
$45 per share Of common and
net current assets equal to about
$85 q share.
Proxy Battle Possible.
There was q difference Of
opinion whether the reported
purchases Of the Wolfson group
would end up In proxy battle
for company control. The Chi
cago Sun Times was quoted as
saying the Wolfson accumula-
ton of the stock was in antici-
patton of such q battle. The
Tribune, however. was said to
cite unidentified financial
sources as suggesting the move
"need not presage fight for
controf of the company"

Rap Schools Delay

Parent Teacher Associations has
criticized "as dangerous" pro-
posals to increase the student
capacity of existing high schools.
with no construction of new
buildings.
In a nine-page report sub
mitted to the county council.
the PTAs attacked the proposals
of the County Taxpayers, Inc.
The taxpayer group had sug-
gested that a proposed IS mil 4.
lion high school construction
program could be STAYED of next
year by adding one hour to the
present school day and using
cafeterias for supervised study
halls handling 200 to 400 pupils
each.
The PTA group said the pro-
poSals would overload present
high schools and would extend
the present school day from
eight hours to nine hours, in
cluding transportation time.
The group said most cafe
terias already are being used for
special activities and are unfit
for use as study halls.
The PTAs said failure to pro-
vide new schools which the
Board Of Education says will
be needed IN 1856 would be IAN
incredible dereliction in plan
