Fairficld-Suisan Air Base,
Cal.. June 21 ttJ.B Ten Giant
B-36 bombers and their crews
awaited orders today to take off
on what some observers believed
might be an epoch-making trans
Pacific flight.
The airplanes were gassed up
and ready to go on what the air
force officially described as an
"operational practice flight."
Pretty Good Guest
An air force spokesman said
the destination would not be
known even to the air crews un
til final orders are received from
the strategic air command in
Washington. But. he added, it
might be a "pretty good guess"
that the flight would include "a
Progress, Growth
Of SOC Revealed
In Two Reports
Ashland, June 21 Growth of
Southern Oregon college was
indicated in two separate news
items reported here yesterday.
Mrs. Mabel Winston, registrar,
said that enrollment figures for
the summer session here show a
first-day increase of 30 per cent
over last summer's. And Dr.
Elmo N. Stevenson, president,
reported that the state board of
higher education has approved
a million dollar expansion pro
gram for the college, involving
construction of six new build
ings. Monday's registration for
summer courses was 369, com
pared with 280 the same day
last year. Registration will con
tinue until next Monday. Some
500 students are expected be
fore registration closes, Mrs.
Winston said.
New Buildings Planned
In the construction program.
Dr. Stevenson said that a quarter-million
dollars are earmark
ed for a physical education plant
at Fuller field, including both
men's and women's gymnasium
facilities. A similar sum will go
for a central heating plant and
about $200,000 for a new men's
dormitory.
Also scheduled for construc
tion during the 1952-53 bienni
um are a S250.000 science build
ing, a $250,000 music-arts unit
and rehabilitation of Churchill
hall and Memorial court. Under
the plans the present gymnasi
um would be converted to a
student union building and
would include a little theater,
lounges and facilities for other
campus activities.
Bing Crosby Arrives
At Hollywood Home
Hollywood, June 21 !U.R)
Bing Crosby was back home to
day with his wife, Dixie, and
friends said he "didn't want to
answer any questions about
those rumors."
The singer arrived home yes
terday from a bachelor's so
journ in Europe. He got off a
train at a substation to avoid
newsmen.
While Crosby was in Paris
rumors popped up that he and
his wife of 20 years were sep
arating. Both he and Dixie de
nied the story.
She didn't meet him when
he arrived but was waiting for
him when he got home.
PLENTY OF SERGEANTS

odds are better than 50-50 that,
if you're arrested or given a
ticket in East St. Louis, it will

This gave rise to speculation
that the big bombers might at

staff and other high-ranking de

Long Hops Not Naw
Observers said the B-36s are
known to have traveled a similar
distance non-stop from Texas to
Alaska and return. Last year a
flight traveled from Texas to
Honolulu and returned without
being picked up by radar in the
islands.
The spokesman said it was not
known whether the airplanes
would fly singly or in a group.
The B-36s arrived here Mon
day after a seven-hour flight
from their home base in Cras
well, Tex., where they make hp
part of the 7th heavy bombard
ment wing. '
