Mar. 3 (U.R) Air force strategists think it will be only a short time before Rus sia is able to start a strong atomic attack on any section of the united States. This opinion was presented by Air Secretary W. Stuart Syming ton and other air force leaders In secret testimony before a house appropriations subcommit tee on the fiscal 1951 budget. Records of the hearings, which were held last month, were made miblic yesterday. Gen. Muir S. Fairchild, vice chief of staff and acting chief at the time of the hearings, said "It will soon be a Russian capa bility to launch an atomic at tack' in significant strength." Ona-Way Missions Svmington said Russian planes would have to fly one-way mis sions to attack some parts of the nation. But he said this wouldn't be "suicidal." Other sections of the United States, he said, could be bombed on two-way missions from Soviet territorv. He did not elaborate, but presumably he referred to the Pacific northwest which is thought to be within reach of Siberian-based Russian copies of the B-29 superfort.
