MADRID - In hot, sunny

other places in the free world

siestas, figurative or literal. AT

Strategic Air Command, at Tor.
rejon, just outside Madrid, halt
a dozen BATS from a field in
New Eangland sat poised like
droopy winged darts near the
enc of the bases 13,000-foot
runway.
Six Ford station wagons,
painted blue and featuring a
round red light on each roof,
were parked outside the bach
elor officers quarters. They
were parked in a particular
manner, rear wheels to the curb,
hood facing out.
Members of the three-rnan B.
AZ crews strolled restlessly
through the officers club next
door, playing the slot machines
now and then, smoking, aloof
of the happy laughing group OF
desk officers at the bar. They
wore the undergarments OF
their pressurized flying suits.
Down on the strip itself,
dazzling in the hot sun, big
house trailers were parked with,
in so yards of the bombers
These are for the ground crews
of the 600-mile-an-hour swept
wing jobs that revolutionizeo
the strategic bombing business
When the man in the under
ground control center at Offui
Air Force Base in far-off
Omaha, Nebr., pushes the but
ton, these ground crewmer
come tumbling out of those
trailers like shots from a Ro
man candle. They race for theii
particular bomber and turn or
the power tractors at its side
The bomber's switches have
been left on by the crew. The
power activates its fantastically
involved electronics and instru
ment system.
Meanwhile, the crews are gal
vanized into action. If they hap

ligious services, an ear-splittine

have persuaded SAC to install 9
large red light near the altar
as a substitute for the horn.
The base roads that lead from
their sleeping quarters to the
air-strip are especially marked
with red blinkers, labeled "Yielc
to reflex" and "Ceda Ell Pasco.'
In driving about the base, to re
lieve the ennui of waiting foi
the signal to leap for theil
planes and take off, the SAC
crews are not permitted to use

Delaware Food Market
Report
BY ANNE HOIBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware

Meat markets everywhere are
featuring low prices. particularly,
for this time of year Broilers con-
tinue to pour into markets in the
greatest supply in their history.
This delicious meat continues to,
sell at prices you can't afford to
overlook. Be sure TO take advantage
OF current low prices for high
grade beef. Top quality steaks are
generally retailing at lowest prices
in four years, this is the result of
record numbers of cattle on feed.
Lamb is also in good supply. Not
since 1866 and 1856 have June
prices been so low for lamb. Don't
overlook turkeys, they are quite
reasonable also. The heavy market
ings of beef, lamb. turkey & broil-
