Russia Believed
Nearly Able To
Start Attack
Washington. 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.
India has purchased 375 trac
tors with funds from the $10
million International Bank loan
to reclaim 800,000 acres of
wasteland.
