President Eisenhower. back

prove $76 million of emergency
relief for the farmers and ranch

His program will require $26

purposes.

Administration
Again Tries for
Burke Airport
Senator'S Question
Commerce Officials
On Delay in Relief

A special subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee today launched a full-dress
Inquiry into the problem of
providing Washington with a
second airport. and drew from
administration spokesman a
recommendation that the 5000
acre site a Burke, Va, would be
the best location.
Louis Rothschild, Undersecre-'
tary of Commerce for Transpor-
tation, said the administration
knows the need of an additional
airport here and hoped the in
quiry would establish a pattern
by which it could proceed.
In this he lent support to the
declaration of President Eisen-
hover in his budget message to
Congress that he soon would ask
for $S5 million to proceed with
the Burke project.
MATS Flights Shifted
Other testimony before the
subcommittee headed by Senator
Holland, Democrat of Florida,
brought out that about half of
the flights of the Military Air
Transport Service already had
been transferred from congested
Washington National Airport and
that the remainder would be
shifted to the Andrews Air Force
Base by July /.
1t was brought out also that
the $50 million Burke project
would be designed to handle jet
type commercial planes and this
led to a technical discussion of
the effect of the jet blasts on
residents of the airport vicinity i.
On this point James Pyle. re-
Gently appointed administrator
OF the Civil Aeronautics Author
ity, and Bartholomew Spano,
CAA expert. explained that all
commercial jet planes on order
are to be equipped with noise
dampeners and that none of
them would be equipped with the
noisy afterburners required for
military craft.
Boiling Question Raised
Other questions raised in the
examination of the Commerce
officials inciUAad the possibility
of the removal OF all of theI
traffic of the Boiling airfield and
the AnacoStia Naval Air Sta
ton from the Washington area
to Andrews or somewhere else.
Under questioning from COM !
mittee members, Mr.. Pyle !
agreed that this would greatly
simplify the entire prtN EN- Of
Washington's air passenger
service.
Testimony developed that al
ready instrument flights have
been transferred from Boiling
to Andrews. The committee al
so was told that the shifting of
the entire services of the two
bases from the Anacostia River
would entail the construction of
additional facilities at AndrewsI
and that it was expected that
necessary appropriations would
be brought up for consideration
shortly.

S30 Billion Fund
SET for Defense
Size of Units Based
On Combat Power
BY JOHN A. GILES

The time-honored measure
ments of military power-march-
ing divisions and wings" of
planes overhead-will begin to
disappear under President Eli
senhower's $38 billion atomic
age military budget sent to Con-
greSs today.
"The combat power of our
divisions. wings and warships
has increased to such an extent
that it is no longer valid to
measure military power in terms
of the number of such units, "
the President said. THE overall
combat power is much more
important than its mere size"
He went on to speak of 1.-THE
widening impact of the new and
vastly more powerful weapons
now being introduced in in
numbers and varieties
and added:
Virtually every aspect of the
defense program is affected by
the introduction of these new
weapons, including military
strategy, tactics an organization.
Army, Air Force Units Cut
Thus. the Army. which now
has 10 divisions, will drop back
to II. To compensate, it will
form six entirely new and
smaller outfits called atomic
support commands
Mr.. Eisenhower called these
organizations particularly suit
able to provide atomic support
for the forces of our friends and
allies abroad" The nature of
these compact, swift moving
units was not further explained
The Air Force. which now has
1873 wings and will reach 1877 by
June 80 largely through trans
ferring units from one category
to another. will drop back to 12S
by the end of fiscal 1858.
The composition of the All
Force. Mr.. Eisenhower said. is
being adjusted to "embody the
new concepts" Part of these
new concepts will be the forma-
ton of the first guided missile
wing Another part will be the
scrapping of the RS6 bomber
