Wing Cutbacks
Bring Protests
From AT Group
BY JOHN A. GILES

With nine wings scheduled tc
be trimmed from the Air De.
Tense and Tactical Air Com
mands' fleets in the next fiscal
year, the Air Force Association
charged yesterday that the all
arm will be cut to Ito wings by
1850.
The association, an organiza-
ton that frequently reflects the
thinking of Air Force leaders,
said the new budget has "a built
in descendence" from the pres
ent 137-wing program - sched-
uled for completion by next June
80. There now are 131 wings. A
wing consists of from 80 to rs
planes. depending on type.
Viewed Inadequate"
| Defense Department leaders
have said the wing structure was
being reduced because of ire
mendous advances in faster Jet
aircraft and guided missiles
Their defense of the program
before Congress will be that the
Air Force. despite the wing cut,
will have about the same num-
Der of personnel and planes. The
number of heavy bombers In
each wing is being increased
from 80 to As, they point out.
! But Air Force officials still
view the plan as inadequate"
because the scheduled expansion
!, is stopped.
I The 1858 military budget
calling for some $38 billion in
: spending and around $40 billion
: in new contractural authority
has gone to the printers. How
. ever. officials were rushing
around yesterday making last
; minute changes.
!. The Air Force Association, in
, an editorial in its magazine, pre-
. dicted the budget would be
: short in dollars, long in ex-
/, PLANTATION" and declared that
some Of the statements will "ac-
tually delude the public"
3 Wings Transferred
There has been some confu-
sion as to where the first cut of
nine wings next year will take
place. Three wings of heavy
transports are being transferred
,, from the Tactical Command to
the Military Air Transport Serv-
ice, also a part of the Air Force
, However, a spokesman has said
the three transferred wings
would not be tailed as part Of
|, the cut.
An official asserted yesterday
that the three wings would be
counted in the overall air
strength and that "I can tell you
that no reductions will be made
in the Strategic Air Command. "
The latter is the long range
nuclear bombing force.
Speaking for Air Force vet
Grams and other airpower en-
thusiasts who are members OF
the association, the magazine
said the air arm never has been
permitted to build to an agreed
, goal.
! 1t also said a hoax is "being
Iperpetrated on the American
people" in claims that United
States air strength is higher
than it has ever been in history

pairing to enter the teaching field

the tax burden on students.
His plan to aid prospective
teachers would provide for loans
to be repaid not in cash, but BY
teaching. For each year Of
scholarship assistance a pledge
would call for one year of actua,
teaching. If the recipient failec
to teach he would be required tt
repay the loan in cash.
"Our teacher shortage is grow
ing steadily worse and is rapidly
becoming a cause for nationa,
ALARM" the Senator said.

that nothing would be done tt

dangerous.

Dear Bernie:
What is your opinion of these Tv quiz pro-

Big Surprise aren't worth two cents.
Now! You take the $4,000 Question for in
stance The whole program is completely over
done. The isolation booth isn't needed at all.
Then you take Mr. Fife 90 and those two
guards. I can see Mr. Fife handing the questions
to Mr.. March but why the guards? 1t looks
silly to the guards standing there -.
The only complaint about the Big Surprise
is the music they play. Any contestant trying
