Nonstop to Europe

The 7,00O-mile range puts Mr..
Kennedy within reach of any place
in Europe nonstop. In the other
direction, Japan is only one stop
away and a return trip riding
tail winds would require no stop.
The presidential planes and
presidential pilots office are part
of SAM-short for Special Air
Mission. This in turn means the
1254th air transport wing of the
Military Air Transport Service
(MATS) of the Air Service.
Based at Andrews Field, the
1254th is also assigned to carry
the Vice President. cabinet men,
bers, foreign dignitaries. members
of Congress with congressional
authorization, and other high

Of that metal climbed from 9O5
cents TO about Sl.2s.
Yet, In spite OF this enhanced
price, the global ion- Communist

Mr.. Henry spent three months

Mr.. Henry made his position
clear In a hard-hitting speech on

Condition in Industry


The reason for this widening
gap between the world consump-
ton Of silver and It's production
is, mainly. what mining people call
the "unelasticity" of the silver
mining industry. For three quar-
ters Of the silver produced
throughout the world comes as
a by-product Of other metals
mainly zinc, lead, copper. gold,
cobalt and nickel, and only one
quarter comes from mineral which
is extracted mainly for silver. That
proportion varies only slightly
