B-36 Costs Will
Be Investigated
By Committee
WASHINGTON, June 6. (JF
The House will be asked mis wppk
to put up $50,000 lor a "let-the-chins
flvfi lnvestieation of the B-
36 and Air Force purchasing in
general.
Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) ot
the House Armed Services Com
mittee told newsmen he will ask
for that amount as soon as the
House approves a committee-backed
resolution ordering the inquiry.
The resolution is due for House
passage Tuesday or Wednesday.
Vinson himself will direct the
Investigation. He said he plans
to employ expert special counsel
and a staff to get to the bottom of
the current controversy centering
around the big Air Force bomber.
The investigation, he added,
may force to the surface sharp dif
ferences existing between the
Navy and the Air Force.
The inquiry was touched off by
a House speech by Bep. Van Zandt
(R.-Pa.) ot the Armed Services
Committee.
Van Zandt, a captain In the
Naval Reserve, said he had heard
"ugly, disturbing reports" about
connections between Secretary of
Defense Johnson and Floyd Od
ium, who controls Consolidated
Vultee Aircraft Corp., maker of
the B-3B.
Also, the Pennsylvanian said,
he had heard reports that Air
Secretary W. Stuart Symington
planned to Quit his lob and take
over an aviation combine controll
ed by Odium.
Symington retorted sharply. In
a letter to Vinson, he said Van
Zandt's "basic innuendo is that
the B-36 picture is riddled with
politics, influence and disregard
to the military security of the
country.
"I deny this categorically.

Heavy Drowning Toll Emphasizes Need Of Caution In Sport Bathing
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON F our kids
sneaked off to "swim" In a cat
tle pond. Non-wlmmers, they
all drowned ... A man and
hi wife, non-swimmers, were
wading on the river's edge. He
stepped into a deep hole and
drowned ... A student broke
his neck on a fancy dive in
too-shallow water ... A iryear
old girl, fishing from a bridge,
lost ner Daiance and tell in. . .
Last year 6,900 persons drown
ed in this country. Now Carroll
L. Bryant, national director of
the American Red Cross water
safety service, whose long range
goal is to make every American
a swimmer and every swim
mer a life-saver, cautions that
the "open season" on drown
ings is again under way.
He warns especially against
such early season hazards as
changes in contour and depth
of bathing places. He suggests
that all natural swimming places
be checked. The place that was
shallow last year might be very
deep now. The place where you
dived last year might now have
a rocky bottom and be unsafe
for diving.
Another cause of early season
drowning is the boat that has
been out all winter and might
have open seams or be water
logged and unsafe.
Bryant warns too that at the
beginning of the season you are
frequently not in condition for
swimming and that few folks
are able to swim as far or as
long as they could at the end
of the season last year. Also,

the temperature of the water
is lower at this time of the
year than later in the summer,
and he says a failure to adjust
to a sudden cold dip may easily
cause a drowning.
An average of 30 persons per
day are drowned during May,
June, July and August. Of the
80,000,000 Americans who go
"swimming" each year, only 7
percent can swim well, another
43 percent swim a little, and
the remaining 50 percent can't
swim at all. Most drownings
occur in water from seven to
10 feet deep and within 10 yards
of where one can stand sateiy.
"Every person sheuld learn to
swim as a basic physical skill,"
says Mr. Bryan. "You couldn't
think of a better sport to save
your life."
