Air Force Radios
Draw Criticism
WASHINGTON w House
subcommittee reported Wednes
day the Air Force ordered more
than 100 million dollars worth of
radio sets of an "untested model"
which thus far has been "so un
reliable as to be of no practical
use." Some of the orders have
since been cancelled.
The sharply critical report said
that "during some periods of the
Korean crisis numerous Air
Force aircraft were without lons-
range radio equipment" because
of Air Force reliance on the un
tested model.
The report was filed by a sub
committee on military operations
headed by Rep. Rtehlman (It
NY) and approved by the full
Government Operations Committee.

tion area.
The other two meetings are
sponsored by the Bethel group

(separate city (rather than join
ling Eugene.

Atomic Bill Action Pushed
WASHINGTON W) Maioritv
Leader Knowland (Calif) called
Wednesday for an around-the-clock
session of the Senate, if
necessary, to complete action on
atomic legislation.
He punctuated his statement
by directing the sergeant-at-arms
to haul in cots from nearby
cloakrooms and" corridors for
possible use.
"We're not going to have one
or two votes. We're going to fin
ish this bill if we have to stay
all night to do it," Knowland
said as the Senate began its
eighth day of debate on the atom
ic bill.

was reported killed.
The subcommittee said the
Air Force first contracted with
the Radio Corp. of America in
December 1950 for 307 "revolu
tionary" long-range combination
receiving-sending sets although
the sets were still unproven.
CONTRACT EXPANDED
This contract later was ex
panded to call for 3,900 sets for
spare parts at an estimated price
54 million dollars, the subcom
mittee said. As of last June 30,
approximately 790 sets had been
delivered. And, the subcommit
tee said, the Air Force now esti
mates that required redesigning
will run the costs under this
contract to 71 millions.
The subcommittee said despite
serious and obvious defects in
the sets, the Air Force entered
into a second contract in April
1953 for 1,843 more sets at an
estimated price of 38 million dol
lars. This second contract was
cancelled three weeks ago.
UNJUSTIFIABLE
The congressmen said they
would not criticize limited pur
chase of an untested model, to try
to supply armed forces with the
best of equipment. But they call
ed the size of the first contract,
and especially the letting of a
second contract, "completely un
justifiable." The subcommittee said the Air
Force went into the second con
tract "when there were tested
commercial sets of advanced de
sign available at a fraction of the
cost."
The subcommittee recommend
ed a complete re-study of con
tracts for the long-range sets,
and a similar study of other con
tracts for short-range sets includ
ing a new RCA-developed model.
