tra. Wasn't Much Hurry
The airline folks in New York
were ever so nice on the phone
If I could get to the Kast Side
Air Terminal by 4: 50. they would
pop me on a bus to the airport
and squeeze me onto a nice eve
ning flight to the capital, with
dinner aboard.
The plane, a two-engine propel
lor type, would leave I.a Giianha
Field at 5:50, and arrive at Wash
ington National Airport at a con
lenient 7:05.
I made it to the terminal in
lime, to find out the 0 wasn't
really much hurry. The flight,
and Ihe connecting bus run, had
been set hack 40 minutes, .lusi
long enough to relax, read the
paper, and dispatch a pic" lire

Hy the time we got to the air
port an additional 50 minutes de

said Ihe plane was late leaving

This allowed time for a coke

Aii line attendants were helpful.
They announced periodically that
my flight hadn't yet reached New

to announce periodically that it
had. but that on account of the
inclement weather and the other
planes that had got there first, it
was wailing its turn to come

As soon as it landed, the man
said, it would load for Washing

Hep. Frank Kowalski of Connec

investigate whether "they need
all these people."
Kowalski. a former Army col

miiniHiwcr at several more of the
23 V S. bases he visited during
a .'hclay Kuroiean trip.
The congressman emphasized he
was not criticizing Air Force re
taliatory power, asserting that he
was "tremendously impressed hy
the way SAC is uble to deliver
striking blows. I have never seen
anything so impressive."
He told newsmen, however, that
there were six bombers "on the
line" ready to go at each or three
SAC bases in Snain while behind
(hem were 2.000 to 3,tM0 military
personnel and about 2.000 depend
