WASHINGTON UV-Gen. Nathan
F, Twining says "wc should not
ever downgrade" Russian ability
to design and mass-proauce top
quality warplanca and other weap
ons. . -
. The Air Force chief of staff told
a Senate Armed Services subcom
mittee July 19 that Russia has
"thousands more jet combat
planes in operational units" than
the U. S. Air Force and Navy
combined.
A censored transcript of his tes
timony made public during the
weekend quoted him also as be
lieving the Russians are working
on a long-range supersonic bomb
er "and will be able to make one
someday."
He said that during his trip to
Russia last month he and his
group saw a light bomber which
the Russians said was supersonic.
Lt. Gen. C. S. Irvine of the Air
Force's materiel branch testified
the plane they saw "looks better
than anything we have in our in
ventory in the light bomber cater
gory, but added that "I am sure
our B58 will be much better."
Twining said this country still
holds an advantage in aerial
"striking power" but told the sub
committee "I was quite shocked"
by the speed with which the Rus
sians Tiave produced MIG fighter

Conference Is
; Bolstered
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON 11 President
Elsenhower . and Secretary . of
State Dulles seemed assured to
day of considerable bipartisan sup
port for their drive to settle the
Suez Canal crisis peacefully.
Evidence of, broad Democratic
as well as Republican backing
among congressional leaders de
veloped after Eisenhower and Dul
les had briefed nine Democrats
and 13 Republicans yesterday on
ihe continuing gravity of the sit
uation" and what the administra
tion plans to do about it.
senate Democratic Leader Lyn
don B. Johnson of Texas said no
commitments were asked or given,
but added in reply to a question
that politics stop at the water s
edgo when the security of our
country is at stake.
Officials said results of the con
ference in the White House Cabi
net Room should strengthen Dul
les' hand when he enters a 22-
nation conference In London this
week on the future of the canal.
Dulles, who leaves here tomor
row, was winding up preparations
today to seek agreement by a ma
jority of the 22 countries on f
proposal for placing operation of
the canal under an International
authority. Such agreement could
provide a basis for later negotia
tion wltn bgypllan President lia
mal Abdcl Nasser, who took sole
control of the Canal July 26, and
with Russia, India and other coun
tries which side, with Nasser.
Frosh hope for eventually
achieving a negotiated settlement
instead of war was found here
in the manner In which Nasser
yesterday turned down, as expect
ed, Britain's Invitation to Egypt
to attend the London conlcrcnce.
The tone of his statement was
relatively calm. Instead of slam
ming the door on talk he made
counterproposal for a bigger
conference In' which the problem
of guarantees for international
freedom of the canal could be discussed.
Officials here felt that Nasser's
willingness to suggest such a pro
cedure means that in, the end he
may be willing to work out prac
tical arrangements with th west
despitt his refusal to attend the
London meeting.
The congressional leaders and
15 administration officials headed
by Eisenhower and Dulles con
ferred for BO minutes at the White
House yesterday.
"All recognized the Importance
or dependable operation of tne ca
nal as a major artery of world
traffic," said a White House state
ment.
The statement said Elsenhower
and Dulles, in discussing the sit
uation, made clear that the United
States will try at the London con
ference to help provide a peace
ful and equitable solution "with
the objective of safeguarding the
interests of those dependent on
the canal as well as recognizing
the legitimate interests of Egypt."
The statement described them
as "hopeful" but added that they
stressed "the continuing gravity
of the situation and the difficulty
in achieving a constructive solution."

UTICA. N.Y' m The General

velopment of an electronic navi
gator for aircraft.
