Bombers Find New Role

Rather than the highland
fast-flying RS-70, he suggested
the Air Force should examine
low-flying, relatively slow, long
endurance planes which could
be used as missile launchers
flying command posts, recon-
naissance vehicles, air-defense
radar stations, anti-submarine
search and attack planes OF
transports.
Gen. Lemay at first ignored
the suggestion, but at the enc
of the year, a small group o.
the highest ranking and mos
influential Air Force general.
urged Gen. Lemay to look al
the Mcnamara proposal again
They argued, according Il
Air Force sources, that the RS.
70 could we'll be a dead-eno
and that the Air Force SHOULD
seek an alternative.
Gen. Lelnay approved the
second look.
Tentative Conclusions
Some tentative conclusions
are now beginning to take
shape.
First the Air Force convinced
the civilian bosses the job:
should be divided among two
or three planes.
One would be a long-endur'
ance plane that could fly two
to five days and carry a large
load of a new type Of missile
The planes could take off al
the first alarm and just fly
around, almost invulnerable II
attack, until our ICBMs haC
been launched at the enemy
Then they could fly to the
enemy, launching supersonic
low-altitude missiles at theii
targets.
The plane would fly very low
and cruise at about 600 mile
an hour. 1t not only would ado
another strategic weapon tt
the United States arsenal but
would force the Russians Il

the Secretary and his advisers
two years ago that the BIO
soon to become the RS-70, was
not worth its cost, Gen. Curtis
E. Lemay, Air Force Chief Of
Staff, fought stuhbornly for his
dream bomber and rejected al
tentative proposals.
Congress Backed Lemay
Congress backed Gen. Lemay
last year and voted extra
money for development of the
plane. Secretary Mcnamara
easily as stubborn as Gen. Le-
may, refused to spend the
money.
This year Congressman are
again promising to back Gen
Lemay on the assumption that
they must buy the RS-70 or nc
bomber at all.
Mr.. Mcnamara is even more
set against the plane. About
$1.3 billion has been APP
propriated for development anc
construction Of three expert
mental RS-70s, but the De-
tense Department estimates
that the Air Force is still sew
eral hundred million dollars
short - and the first plane
apparently will be almost 9
year late in flying.
There three planes may yet
fly, but the RS-70 almost GER
tainly will never make 1t as q
full, operational weapon.
New Reconnaissance Plane
Last fall, after the service
chiefs had recommended ex-
tension of the RS-70 prototype
program, Gen. Maxwell D. Tay-
lor, chairman Of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, urged develop
ment of a new reconnaissance
plane.
Mr.. Mcnamara, then asked
the Air Force to consider de-
veloping such reconnaissance
plane and perhaps one or more
additional new planes to dc
special strategic-war jobs.

tack"
At any rate, the new friend
of the manned strategic
weapon system, Robert s. Nc
Namara, now wants to insure
that a good proportion of the
nuclear eggs will remain in the
bomber basket.

BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staff Writer

Secretary Of Defense McNa-
mara commonly accused of
1. Trying to kill the manned
bomber, actually is prodding
mat weapon into a new rem
aissance.
II current Pentagon studies
, requested by Mr.. Mcnamara
pear the expected fruit, the Air
. Force will have three or four
manned strategic weapon sys-
: TENS" to succeed present long
range bombers - even without
. the RS-70. which the Air Force
fought so hard for, and lost.
, Ihls may come as a surprise
{ 10 congressional critics who
plan to fight Mr.. Mcnamara
on the bomber issue starting
on the House floor Tuesday.
Leading members of the
House and Senate Armed Serv-
! ices and Appropriations Com
mittees have argued that Mr..
Mcnamara is putting all of our
. oig-war eggs into the missile
basket.
Basis Of Criticism
After the present B-52 and
B-58 bombers are phased out
IN the l97Os, they contend, the
United States will be stuck
with an arsenal of inflexible
and possibly unreliable
ICBMs.
Their criticism of Mr.. Nc
Namara is understandable, be-
cause the renaissance Of the
bomber, which started last fall,
has been almost invisible until
yesterday.
Mr.. Mcnamara himself shot
down the Air Forces only can
didate for a new bomber, the
RS-70. He was so vigorous in
criticizing the 1000 mile an
hour pride Of the Air Force
planners that almost no one
noticed that he also said he
was open minded on some
substitutes.
Despite a clear warning from

lenses against bombers and
add defenses against the low,
fast missile.
Role Of Fast Planes
A second, fast plane, the Air
Force said, could do post
strike reconnaissance" that is
seek out missed or hidden tar
gets and radio their locations
back to ICBM commanders at
home.
Still another fast, low level
plane carrying special equip
ment designed to help pene-
trate enemy defenses could fly
in for pin-point bombing OF
difficult targets, perhaps using
a Siderable bomb or one Of
the exotic new light beam
weapons under consideration.
Everything, Of course, is in
the study stage. Perhaps some
other combination of planes
will look better after more
study. Perhaps some of the ex-
isting planes could be used tt
do some Of the wartime jobs.
The important thing is that
the Air Force and Defense De.
partment have agreed finally
that a new generation Of
manned bombers is needed.
The Air Force says 1t car
have them In operation in foul
years. Mr.. McNamara's advis-
ers do not want to move thai
fast. They say the B-52s will
be an effective weapon
through 1872 or 1878 and prob.
ably for several years after
that.
Plan Defended
Critics in and out of thu
Pentagon argue that al of thi'
is nonsense - that airplanel
will be useless against enemy
defenSes in a few years.
Bomber hackers retort tina
air defense installations arr
inherently vulnerable and tina
our missiles will cripple then
before the bombers arrive.

it, I'm my personal opinion

and the local liquor and insurance in
dustries also often suggest legislation.
Bills must be sent to the Vice Presi-
dent, who presides over the Senate and to
the Speaker of the House. They, in turn,
refer the bills to the District committees,
which hold hearings, usually amend the
bills, and then send them to the Senate
and House floors for vote. Bills invOlv-
ing money must 60 to the Bureau of the
Budget before they are sent to the Dis
trict committees. The District subcommit-
tees Of the Senate and House Appropria-
tons Committees must approve money
bills after they clear the District commit
tees. The District appropriations sub
committees also hold their own hearings.
In the House, the second and fourth
Mondays Of each month the Congress is in
session are set aside to consider Dis
trict bills, which do not 60 through the
Rules Committee. After messages and
other routines, the Speaker says, This is
District Of Columbia day. The chair rec
ognizes the gentleman from South Caro-
lima Representative McMillan(." In the
Senate, bills can be brought up for a vote
on the floor whenever the leadership
agrees.

stage for depriving other urban areas of
their share of highway development"
The District redevelOpment act of 1916
also was used as q trial balloon for ma
tional urban renewal legislation.
When a bill to permit vivisection in
the District came up in the Senate, more
than 500 people, dressed in mourning
clothes, came from all parts Of the coun-
try to testify in opposition. The bill failed
after three-day hearing Another time,
when the Watergate Towne apartments
were proposed for FOggy Bottom, the Sen
ate committee received more than 1900
letters of protest. Che Vatican owns 20
per cent Of the Italian company which
plans to build the apartments.) The Prot
estants and Other Americans United
spanked the letter-writing campaign.
Many people ask the two committees
for advice on all sorts Of matters, such as
having traffic light installed at busy
intersection, appealing q conviction to
the District Building, where all the lines
are often busy. Mr.. Smith estimates that
his staff receives between $50 and 500
telephone calls a day. Some people are
referred to the committees by their own
congressman. A few are Washington resi-.
dents who, not represented by congress
men, must come to the committees for
passes to the Senate and House galleries.
CrackpOts also frequent the commit
tee rooms regularly. One man brought to
the Senate committee room q bottle of
what he called radioactive atoms, which
he said he had trapped from moonbeams
coming through his bedroom window He
thought the committee could find some
way to put them to use. A few years ago, a
witness in House District committee
hearing, dressed as Uncle Sam, got down
on his knees when his turn came to testify
and prayed. The members present bowed
their heads dutifully for the witness
allotted five minutes.
Despite the pace, pressure and 0ddi-
ties, work on the two District committees
can be rewarding You're satisfied that
the District is being well governed, that
petitions are received and considered"
Mr.. Clark says.
Its real challenge =. trying to help
your fellow man." Mr.. Smith says, and
adds: "The District has one of the most
complicated governments anywhere"

be filled from those who are in
the top category. If not, selec-
ton would then be made from
the second category and so on.
While csc officials did not
say 50, they anticipate that the
number Of summer Jobs in the
Washington area would decline
sharply in number If the stu
dents were selected from q Ma
tionwide competitive exam. It's
no secret that q good many of
the jobs we're created to take
care Of relatives and friends of
agency officials.
The jobs involved would be
mainly of the clerical, typist
and manual labor variety. Ma
tionwide exams already are CIV
en- for summer jobs for college
trainees and interns and these
would continue to be given.

Student Tests Proposed
For Summer U. S. Jobs

The Civil Service Commits.
sion has proposed to Congress,
legislation to hold a Nationwide
exam each year for students Il
fill Government summer jobs.
In testimony before a Senate
Civil Service Subcommittee
yesterday. csc Chairman Johr
Macy urged that the Senate
unit delete the provision of g
House bill that woulc
place these jobs on a State ap-
portionment basis.
The House-passed bill, nov
the subject Of hearings by the
Senate group, is designed tc
provide more of these jobs fol
students throughout the coun-
try and consequently less fol
those in the Washington area.
Mr.. Macy said an apportion.
ment system for summer Jobs
would be unwieldy and difficult
and costly to administer.
Instead. he urged that the
House bill be amended to pro-
vide for a Nationwide exam for
these jobs in the Washington
area. It's estimated that there
are nearly 10000 of these Jobs
available each year.
While the House bill also
contains a provision for Gov
ernment-w wide exams, Mr.. Macy
suggested that this be changed
to provide for three categories
of applicants. The first category
would be composed of those
who scored 95 to 100 on the
exam, the second for those who
made grades of IS to "a, and
the third composed of those
with scores of 70 to "a.

Doctors Soy Hormones Make

NEW YORK (SpeciaD:
leading dermatologist and his
assistants have conducted a
"half-woman" test that proves
conclusively estrogenic hor-
mones make skin look younger,

For a few days now I will
bring you some old thoughts
for the New Year. I so often
receive letters asking what a
woman who is not pretty can
do to compete with beautiful
women. In Don Quixote,
Cervantes says, "All kinds of
beauty do not inspire love;
there is a kind which only
pleases the sight, but does
not captivate the affections"
Hartley Coleridge wrote,
"She is not fair to outward
review.
AS many maidens be;
Her loveliness I never knew
Until she smiled on me-"
Keats wrote,
"A thing of beauty is a JOY
forever:
Its loveliness increases; it
will never
Pass into nothingeSs, but still
will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a
sleep
Full Of sweet dreams, and
health, and quiet
Breathing"
E. B. Browning wrote,
THE essence of beauty, I call
love,
The attribute, the evidence
and the end,
The consummation to the in
ward sense
OF beauty apprehended from
without,
I still call love"
Pope wrote,
"Tis not a lip nor eye we
beauty call,
But the joint force and full
result of all"
Beauty isn't regular fea-
lures, golden hair or a per-
feet complexion (although
these are nice to have.)
Beauty is an awareness, a
warmth, an enthusiasm, a
blithe spirit, an intense alive
ness, tenderness, an elusive

Hormonex Beauty Serum acts
so rapidly because pure female
hormones are dissolved in a
combination of penetrating
Sesame Oil and a patented,
