V I WASHINGTON IUP ' Adminis tration sources gave this rundown here on the air-sea forces Ameri ca has standing guard against ag gression in the Far East: The Pacific I Feet has 15 car riers,; 20 cruisers, 123 destroyers and 55 submarines. Each of the carriers has a normal complement of about ion planes. And at least four carriers are with the Seventh Fleet protecting Formosa. The Air Force has about . 17 wings stationed at 1 key bases in the Pacific-Far East area. They include B50 Superfort bombers, jet and piston I engine fighters, j inter- ceptors, tactical reconnaissance planes, troop carriers and other supporting aircraft I I The Air Force recently started a 60 to 90-day rotation of power ful Strategic Air Command units to the Pacific. A unit of about 43 B30 Sac bombers and 20 tankers on Guam will be replaced soon with 10-engine B36 bombers capable of flying more than 8000 miles, SAC also plans to rotate to the Pacific soon B47 Stratojet bombers that fly 600 miles per hour. - : ! i Behind these mobile air -sea forces the United States has four Army; divisions and an airborne regiment in Korea and Japan. Two more Marine divisions are in the area. And at least three airborne, armored and infantry divisions are on ready alert in this country. ; (AHae Mosby is Tacatioaimg. Tak ing her place today is Peter Lew ford, who laments the tribulations ef baJag aa actor) By PETER LAWFORD Writtea for the United Press t HOLLYWOOD (UP)-For roles in pictures, I've done just about everything conceivable. Pve worn armor; I've gone down in a diving bell; I've ridden on water skiis; Pve wrestled with a bear, ad I've spent three hours la a barrel with the lid on. But something new has been added since I started portraying an "advice to the lovelorn editor in my new television series, "Dear Phoebe." Tm supposed, to advise women on their love lives. -This Bill Hastings I play in the show writes an advice column in a Los Angeles newspaper, using the name 1 "Phoebe Goodbeart" Some of -the situations are pretty far-fetched, of course, tet the writ ers have gone to a lot of trouble to make the show mostly ' authen tic so we won't receive any letters from outraged newspapermen. Because of my part, I've got in the habit; of dictating a daily dol- umn into a dictaphone, and I'm afraid I'm going to greet my wife some morning with "Dear An guished." It's no cinch writing answers to all those letters. I have a dread of putting the wrong letter in the wrong envelope. And when I drop each day's j answers , in the mail chute, I ask myself: "Did I tell the lady who, wanted to know what to do with ber short- tempered husband to try DDT? Did I ten the lady bothered by silverfish to try patience and kind ness? Did I tell everyone that life is not all beer and skittles: Another pitfaU is that I'm be ginning to fancy myself as an ad vice expert Not infrequently have I employed soothing words to turn away a irate loan shark who is about to toss some helpless widow out of her cottage. It has tended to make me feel like a poor man's psychiatrists - i It's somewhat nice to think that in my declining years, should show business wane, I won't have to sell hot dogs in front of my Malibu Beach horned With aU this advice to the lovelorn experience, I can always apply for a job on a newspaper.- ., j BANGKOK.
