Detector Craft
Snags on Ways
" QUINCY. Mass. un The inch-by-inch
controlled launching of the
first of a series of offshore radar
aircraft detection craft struck a
snag Friday night when the 6,000
'ton triangular shaped craft stuck
at the end of the ways.
One of the sliding ways using
a tractor and tons of chain to
guide the craft Into the water at
the Fore River shipyard of Beth
lehem Steel Co. collapsed, leaving
the floating station partially afloat
and partially stuck to the bottom
of the sloping runway.
Bethlehem officials said tugs will
be used in a second attempt to
get the craft water-borne Satur
day night during a high tide.
"Texas Towers" is the designa
tion given the craft because they
resemble offshore oil drilling rigs
common to th5 Gulf of Mexico.
The one launched Friday even
tually will be stationed 100 miles
off Cape Cod on Georges Bank,
a relatively shallow ocean area
famed as a fishing grounds.
Thirty of the new craft are to
be built for the Air Force by the
Navy and when set In place will
form a network extending from
Norfolk, Va., to Newfoundland.

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."
Thot wa, swi,cnea- abruptly to
"imposing resources In manpower
and materiel" without the refer
lence to whether this country can
I match them, and to bombers only
similar to the American jet
bombers.

Leslie junior hich school are
Doug llalvorsrn, yell kins, and
Ml
secretary of the Air Force for re
search and development, who
came out with the talk of steady
work and money.
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." ;

body interested except the Rus

jPolio Season
Starts Earlier
PORTLAND un Dr. Harold
M. 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.
He said the year of greatest inci
dence was 1950 when there were
520 cases, 33 of which had been
reported through May 20.
The board expressed confidence
that mass inoculations of first and
second graders with Salk anti
polio vaccine, scheduled to start
Monday, would be completed with
in a few weeks.
The board elected Dr. Thomas
Griffith, The Dalles, first vice
president to fill the unexpired
term of Dr. Charles Hunt, Eugene,
who died recently. Dr. L. D. Ins
keep, Medford, was named second
vice president.
Coast to Have
Radar Chain
SEATTLE Ifl The Navy an
nounced Saturday that a seaborne
radar chain consisting of three
picket escort ships will be estab
lished off the Pacific Northwest
coast July 1.
The three vessels, the Haver
ficld, the Savage and the Wilhoit,
are now on the East Coast with
home port at Newport, R.I.
The Navy said the three radar
equipped ships will track down
and attempt to identify all air
planes and submarines approach
ing the continental United States.
If a plane or submarine fails
to identify itself, the Navy said,
the "watchdog" ships will radio
the appropriate coastal bases that
a possible enemy sub or plane is
approaching and interception will
be attempted.

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

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

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

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

that answer the i.eed for cleaner
