May 1U.R) i The United States now has more than a billion and a quarter dol lars invested in B-36 "interconti nental" airplanes, it was dis closed today. The number of B-36's. includ ing those delivered and ones on order, is 219. The total cost of the B-36 pro gram, exactly as obtainable from the air force, is $1,289,306,574. That figures out to an average of $5,757,584 per airplane, exclu sive of $39,475,234 for the first two experimental models. More may be ordered in fiscal 1951, which begins next July 1. The estimated cost of each air plane covers the airframe, en gines and accessories, tooling, pro rata share of training equip ment cost, flight testing, spare parts for a year's operation and necessary ground handling equipment. The total figure includes 47 B-36's which, it is reliably re ported, were ordered in the pres- I Savn heart cooking thm j fiiO , . automatic Dutch Oven way. . --t-gSX ' " Exclusive Dual Performance 5 agft oven cooks superbly by usual j- -1 L 1 anetboda too.

Phoenix, Ore. Phone 2-5938 ent fiscal year. The air force has announced officially only dollar values for fiscal 1950, not num bers of specific types of air planes ordered. When Ad. Arthur W. Rad ford, Pacific fleet commander, called the B-36 a "billion dollar blunder" in congressional testi mony during last fall's unifica tion inquiry, then Air Force Sec retary W, Stuart Symington tes tified: "After the B-36 program is completed, however, including all expenditures, past, present and estimated future, tne total cost of the program will be con siderably less than one billion dollars." Air force spokesmen said to day Symington was right. He was talking about B-36 "bomb ers. His statement did not in elude reconnaissance planes. The reconnaissance planes are fitted out for photographic, map ping and radar jamming work and presumably would precede B-3B bombers over enemy terrl' tory in a war. The air force plans to have four B-36 bomber groups, re gardless of the total number of groups it is allowed of all types, and two B-36 reconnaissance groups. Plans call for 159 bomb ers, 30 per group and 39 spare planes. The two reconnaissance groups are scheduled to have 36 airplanes each. These figures in dicate that additional planes will nave to oe ordered. B-36's are to be the mainstay of the strategic air command, an arm of the air force but under joint chiefs of staff direction. Its mission in a war would be to carry out an immediate atomic bombing offensive. The B-36 has a lO.OOU-mile range. Here is the cost history of the B-36 program: Design competition in 1941, S435.623; two experimental mod els ordered in 1941. $39,475,234; first production order, 1944, 95 planes, S445.777.227; second or der. 1949, 39 planes, $172,949, 000; modification of 94 planes of first order, 1949, $147,848, 000; third order, 1949, 36 planes, $182,021,490; revised estimate of cost of program in 1949, indi cated additional need for $33, 000,000; fourth order, fiscal 1950, 47 planes, $267,800,000. Total, $1,289,306,574. The share of the prime con tractor, or manufacturer, Con solidated Vultee Aircraft Corp., is estimated at 40 to 45 per cent of the total. The remainder pays for engines, propellers, r-Speil3e"eBa Discover the extra richness and aroma of coffee that s actually fresher by davs! What a difference!

St. Mary's School Subscriptions at Two-Thirds Mark Subscriptions totaling $98,025 out of a total goal of $130,000, were reported at the first report meeting of the St. Mary's school fund drive committee last night. Solicitors will continue their work with wage-earning and in come-receiving parishioners dur ing the next few days, commit teemen said. L. A. McCormick, Sacred Heart parish fund cam paign chairman, said that the enthusiasm noted among com mittee workers "is clearly in dicative that the successful cul mination of our objective is just anead. Msatlng Tonight Key leaders of the parish will meet tonight to review pledges already received, and to lay plans for follow-up work. Solici tation began today of leading in dustrial, commercial and profes sional groups. Much of this solicitation will be completed before the next formal report meeting Thursday evening. Larry N. Schade, general chairman of the campaign, pointed out in a letter to parish ioners and other Medford resi dents that the school will be of benefit to the entire community. His statement, in part, follows: Citss Tax Savings "That private schools such as St. Mary s, which are privately built and privately maintained, do save all of us considerable money over a period of years in the form of taxation, is an undis puted fact. The present enroll ment in St Mary's, based upon costs of educating pupils in the public school system, reflects an actual saving in excess of $78, 000 annually to Medford taxpay ers. Thus, it will be -seen that we all do have an interest in the construction of this new school in a manner that is normally most important to all of us a savings to our pocketbook. "The figures indicated above, of course, dd not consider con struction costs, which would be in excess of what is indicated. Actually, a bond issue would seem necessary to provide the facilities for the present stu dents at St. Mary's school if, for any reason, the doors might be closed, for it is a known fact that our public schools do not nave sumcieni space luoay 10 receive such an additional enrollment."
