The comment attributed to President Hoover in the depth of the depression that business would be "around the corner" in 90 days was used later as a taunt. President Roosevelt's 1932 prom ise to balance the budget became a joke. In recent years the file of famous bum guesses has grown much longer. We really can't take too seriously the prognostications of our leaders in public life. Wasn't it only last June that President Truman said the outlook for peace was the best it had been in five years? And within the month war broke out in Korea. - The U. S. News and World Re port does a neat job of compiling wrong prophecies of the famous. I pick out a few of them: 1938. Prime Minister Chamber lains' report on Munich; "I believe it is peace for our time." ; 1939. Gen. MacArthur, field marshal of the Philippine army: A successful invasion of the Pilip pines would take "a half million men, ten billion dollars, tremen dous casualties and three years time." . 1941.

Daaiy injured. The six-engine bomber crashed and burned at 12:30 p. m. (MST) in a blinding sandstorm on Kirt land air: force base. The wreck age was scattered over 1,000 feet, barely two blocks from the muni cipal air terminal. - Minutes before ,the big craft had thundered low over the Albu querque ; business area. It came in for the ill-fated landing after a three-hour flight from Carswell air force base, Fort Worth, Tex. Runway Obscured One wing dipped to the earth as the plane came in. Dust ob scured the paved runway. The plane bounced and careened-in a circle to the right. Flames burst out in the right outboard engine. When the plane touched ground again, it exploded. "I didn't want to look, Lt. Wil liam S. Knipple of Albuquerque said. "I turned my back." - Carl Lund, another witness, said there ivas " a blinding flash of flame that towered more than a hundred jfeet in the air then the sound of an explosion." Col. P. B Griffith, commanding officer t Kirtland, said 22 of the men were killed in the crash. The other man died at nearby Sandia base hospital, where the injured were taken! , Like Burning Oil Field "I looked out the window and it looked like a burning oil field," Col. Griffith said. He said it is believed the wing of the craft dipped as the plane blew a jet pod just before the crash. The B-36 has four jet auxi liary engines in addition to its six pusher type propellor engines. It took; only five minutes for firemen o reach the scene, but their efforts were hampered by oil fire, which flashed to three other, planes parked nearby.

Marshall will be the leadoff man for the Pentagon and the White House in answerinr for a senate committee some of the questions raised by jMacArthurs testimony on his concerted disagreement with the : policy of "limited" war in Korea. S One thing nobody had any doubt: Marshall in testimony be fore the combined senate armed services s and foreien relations committees will counter Mac- Arthur's scatching three-day at tack with .the nlea that th Map- Arthur way may well be the way to general war. That is th tatpt view of 1 President Truman who fired MacArthur from his Far East command.

MacArthur argued that stale mate there Or the "aDneasomrnit" of which he expressed fear would look to Soviet Russia like a sign of western weakness and a signal to strike.

Reply to Mac's Policies Today Wreck Chinese Use New-Type Jet Night Fighter TOKYO, Monday, May liPh The Chinese are using a new type jet night fighter in the Korean air war. j- Three of them made an appear ance early Sunday when they at tacked a lone B-26 returning from a 4 night mission in northwestern Korea. r They followed the American plane approximately 20 minutes, making several ineffectual passes before breaking away. It was the third appearance of the mysterious night flying com munist jet, apparently Russian made. The air force is withholding fur ther information about the jets until a more detailed description, based mostly on pilot reports, can be obtained. One reason for the scarcity of information comes from the fact that in every case the new-type jets possibly heavier than the fa miliar Mig 15 fighter have at tacked U.
