SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tutiday, Mar H. 1850 Air Force Program On Sneak Attacks Goes Into High Gear Washington, May 16 (U.R The air force defense program against sneak atomic attacks has moved into high gear after years of secret planning. Rut ia snnkMman said the de partment still needs a great deal of the latest radar and other equipment before the defense network will be able to police the contenental air space aue quately. To Detect Planet The program is intended to keep enemy planes from slip ping undetected across U. S. borders to drop A-bombs on vital targets. It calls for $161 million worth of radar and re lated equipment, but so far con gress has not appropriated the funds. Eventually all air space over the United States will be po liced. Right now the air force, is concentrating protection around atomic plants and over the northwestern and northeast ern states and Alaska. Under the present air "screen" program, all pilots flying over designated areas are required to file flight plans with the civil aeronautics administration. If the radar network locates an unidentified plane, speedy jet fighter planes are sent to inter cept and identify the craft. In adition, a civil air defense program provides for a corps of 150,01)0 trained aircraft observ ers operating lookout stations to supplement the air detection sta tions. Underway Two Yean The air force will not say how far along the program has pro gressed, but it admits the, sky policing has been underway for two years. The first installations were put into operation within a 100- miie raaius ox ine aiuniic eut-iKj plants at Oak Ridge, Tenn., Han ford, Wash., and Los Alamos, U. M. Northwestern states and Alaska also got a priority be cause they are on the shortest air route between the United States and Russia. An air force spokesman said radar detection units also are In use in northeastern and east ern coastal states. But he said this is "strictly an emergency operation with the equipment we had in World War II." "It isn't even close to what we need," he said. Air Screen Aiked The eastern air defense calls for an air screen from the Can adian border south to Norfolk, Va., and 200 miles out to sea. Canada Is cooperating on the program for protection above the border. The air force wil not say what is being done in the Great Lakes area, but it recently served no tice that it will intercept all un identified aircraft crossing the Canadian border in the Mich igan-Ohio defense area. It also disclosed that it will Duud lour secret installations in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, VACATION HEAVED! Almost at your finger lips yet another world of fun and beauty!

The crooner said he had made a plane reservation to fly to Paris Thursday, a week after his arrival on the Mediteranean coast where the Hollywood actrpss is making a movie. "We know now that because of allthi spu blicity it was a mis take for me ti come here," Sin atra said. "I cume to Spain only to see Ava, and now I'm going to Paris." His decision to beat a retreat came soon after both he and the actress, in separate interviews, had hinted that they would be thinking strongly about mar riage but for the fact that he has a wife, Nancy. Sinatra insisted that it was publicity and not Mario Cnhro, a Spanish bullfighter-actor with an avowed love for Miss Gnrd ner, that was chasing him out of Spain.
