Secretary Wilson ASKS
Congress For Money
For Speed-up In B-52's

WASHINGTON, La Secretary
of Defense Wilson, leaving the
door open to new moves to step
up warplane production, says the
Pentagon is taking very good
look at everything we are doing"

Monday whether the Air Force
has recommended a speedup in
production of any planes other
than its most potent heavy bomb
er, the B-52, Wilson replied: mot
yet"
Asked specifically about the
F-1OO Super Sabre jet fighter,
Wilson parried the question by
saying he didn't want to generate
''too much pressure" about that
matter.
A debate has been under way
in Congress and elsewhere over
whether recently disclosed Soviet
advances in airpower mean that
Russia has surpassed or is threat
ening to surpass us. air suprem-
acy. Wilson has insisted this coun-
try can stay ahead and plans to.
AS for the ''good look" he said
the Pentagon is taking at its
plans, Wilson said Monday he has
ordered a twice-a-year review Of
all aircraft production schedules.
The Air Force disclosed recent
~ it has ordered a 35 per cent
step-up in the production rate Of
the B-52, an all-jet intercontin-
entail bomber. Wilson appeared at
a closed session Of Senate Ap-
preparations subcommittee to ask
for 356 million dollars to carry
out this B-52 speedup.
