Bethlehem officials said tugs will be used in a second attempt to get the craft water-borne Satur day night during a high tide.

U.S. Air Officials Warn Of Growing Red Airforce WASHINGTON Ml Two speech es by high Air Force officials one revised just before delivery to tone down comparisons brought the Air Force line on So viet air power into sharper focus Friday after a week of confusion. In summary, this appeared to be the top level view: The Reds are a threat in the air and the threat is growing, as implied in the Pentagon statement that started the discussion a week ago. But wilh enough money applied sleadily to research and develop ment, America can stay ahead. Lt. Gen. Thomas S. Power, com mander of the Air Force Research Development Command, was the officer who didn't say what he started out to say in a speech pre. pared (or the New England Council in Boston. At one point the original said the Soviets have "resources hi man power and maleriel we could not nossihlv match." At another noint it p(,ke of bombers "comparable to our B47 and B52."

In a speech at an Air Force Assn. luncheon, Gardner talked of apprehension" over the dis closure of new and apparently highly developed soviet planes. He said they are reaffirmation that the Soviet has vast technological resources." It is only by continued and diligent application of large sums over a period of years to the re search and development problem that we can remain ahead, he said. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air Force chief of staff, treated the same general subject matter in a speech for an Armed Forces Day observance in Los Angeles. He said the Soviets are building nuclear weapons plus a great bomber force to deliver them." He described as "impressive" the numbers and models of jet bomb ers shown in the air over Russia. He spoke of "a new supersonic dav fighter in operational numbers and a new all-weather fighter also in operational numbers." "But more important." the top air general said, "there was evi-1 dence that they are developing and ! producing the planes for a mighty I bomber force an offensive force ' that could strike us. ..the airplane that gives us real reason for con-! cern here in the United States is the Soviet long-range jet heavy : bomber." ; Earlier there had been conflict-; ing remarks by practically every body interested except the Rus sians.

Erickson, state health officer, reported Friday the Oregon polio .season seems to be starting some what earlier this year. "But we should not attempt to interpret from one or two weeks' incidence this early in the year what our final total is likely to be," Erickson said. He reported there had been 41 cases so far in 1955. That is the highest total for a May 20 since 1951 when there were 43. The total number of cases in 1951 was 373.

Hello, again Remember the days when Mother took down the winter draperies and put up the summer curtains? When she put the summer slipcovers on the chairs, and cleared away the bric-a-brac for a cool, uncluttered look? These days, when a win dow covers about half of our wall space, we're not about to change from season to season all the more reason to decorate one's home with a treatment that is sat isfy ins yar i. 'car out- The current mode of "light airi ness" seems lo satisfy this crav ing for a subtle, lovely back ground for living. We achieve this by using simple yet elegant textures, against which our furm- form both pattern and contrast. Yes, dramatic accessories used against a subtle background col or, are just as important as sofa or table, the simple textures are 1 . ; , -.v. , , , iniiii-u wiin me auuiwuii oi mrex threads for sparkle. Draperies of such materials are best hung from ceiling to floor. sans cornices or lambrequins, for iruiv nramaiic ettect. The new silky Fortisan drapery materials are lovely hung in this fashion, and arc particularly decorative when installed on large brass rod ding and great brass rings. The draperies swish across the win dow with new glamour and drama! But Mother didn't have a had idea when she changed to sum mer slipcovers! A whole color scheme may he chanced over night with the use of slipcovers. This is especially easy when the background (carpet, walls, drap eries, are of a monochromatic color scheme, (lav. smart nrinl or plaids might be used to change me enure lcciinq ot the room. Slipcovers increase the life of the furniture as well as set a change of pact and mood for the room. Now might be the time to change furniture from the heaw frieze and mohair pieces to the new linen and tweed mixtures available. They are smoother to the touch, cooler and fresher looking. Really, they are all-season fabrics. We have so many lovelv pieces on the floor now that answer the i.eed for cleaner tines, beautiful designs, and .so impoitant. comfort for the fami ly Po come in.
