United States Has Over $1 Billion
Invested in 219 B-36 Airplanes
Washington. 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-

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,

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."
