New Stepups
OF JETS Hinted
To0ffset Reds
By JOHN A. GILES

Still further stepups in the
production of jet bombers and
fighters were under consideration
today on the heels Of last nights
announcement that the monthly
building rate of giant B-52 Stra-
tofortresSes was being increased
IS per cent.
The actions come as result
of disclosure that Russia is a
year ahead of expectations in
the production of jet powered
atomic-hydrogen bombers and
fighters.
Air Force Secretary Talbot
made the B-52 announcement
after the Senate Armed Services
Committee called him and Gen.
Nathan F. Twining, Air Chief of
Staff. for a brieflng on whether
the United States is in danger of
losing air supremacy to the So
viets.
The B-52 stepup means that
the Air Force will get the same
number of B-52s into operational
wings by the end of 1858 instead
of 1859, as originally scheduled.
The announcement does not sig
nal any increase in the total
number to be built.
500 Estimated
While the Department has
never said what the total pro-
gram called for in numbers, it
has berl stated unomcially that
some 500 B-52s will be built at
a cost presently estimated at
around So million each. OBJ
viously, the unit cost can be ex-
pected to decrease as the num-
ber of units produced increases.

replacing present B-36s, is de-
signed for immediate counter
attack from American bases if
a global war starts.
The B-52s can carry atomic
weapons or H-bombS, but are
intended chiefly for the latter.
Their speed is we'll in excess OF
500 miles per hour and their
range is estimated at more than
5000 miles. They can reach
attitudes over $4,000 feet.
The eight Jet monsters are in
production at Boeing Airplane
Company's Seattle plant. A
second line of production at
Boeing's Wichita, Kans.. plant
was authorized in October, 1858.
The latter is not yet in produc-

There are three good candidates, Herman Byrd,

for the two vacancies on the school board.
Other issues before the voters is the four mill

remedy a Martin City problem that should have
been taken of when their school was built in
1948 The school has never been large enough to
accommodate all the community's students from
grades through eight, nor is it now

this means 20 students to teacher. However there

a considerable part of Martin City feels that all

Lists Sofety Rules
For Kite Flying

KALISPELL - Simple safety
rules can increase the fun of kite
flying and at the same time pre-
vent danger to youngsters enjoy
ing this ancient sport, according
to Merle Ebbe, division manager
for Pacific Power & Light COM
pany.
He urged boys and girls to OBJ
serve these four rules:
/. Always fly kites in an open
field or playground, well away
from power lines.
2. Use only dry cord for kite
line.
8. Never use wet string or metal
threads for kite line. These are
conductors of electricity and can
bring about serious shock from
accidental contact with overhead
wires.
4. If kite should lodge in a
powerline, or in a tree near pow
er wires, leave it there. Don't try
to take it down. Skilled power
linemen never take chances with
live wires-neither should you.
Parents also were urged to know
the rules for safe kite flying and
to help see that they are followed.
