Jet Plane Defenders Said Here to Stay By Warren Franklin Uniled Press Correspondent Moses Lake, Wash., June 22 U.PJ The jet plane defenders of the Pacific northwest are here to stay. But the sleek, menacing fighters do not stay very long in one place. 117 So. Central Ph.2-6241 Medford Time for Wards to clean and store your furs Don't delay!

STORAGE $C95 J up $J50 These 20th century marvels of air rower are feature actors in the air force's "operation whip- stock," a Ughtemng-tast train ing exercise played high in the sky. I flew with one of the young fi enter nilots vesterdav in a twri-spnt. Ipt transitional fieht- er, the T-33. Although the T-33'? performance does not compare with our present iirst-iine ngni ers. the F-R6's. it is more thna enough to convince one only familiar with the "old-fashion ed," conventional engine inter ceptor that a new air age has arrived. Zoomed Toward Sun When a mock enemy bom ber was picked up on the air command's radar screen, 1st Lt. Alexander L. Cochran and I strapped ourselves in a warmed up fighter and charged down the 10,000-foot concrete run way for the interception. We roomed toward the sun to search for our quarry which was loafing along somewhere at 400 miles an hour. Interceptions are made any where within a 200-mile radius of this sun-baked air field in a matter of minutes. With Jets and modern B-50 bombers streaking toward rendevous points at combined speeds of more than 1,200 miles an hour, seconds are important. The air force emphasized that operation whipstock is an ex ercise to train pilots, ground personnel and radar units in split-second cooperation and co ordination. This, the air force said, is necessary to repel a pos sible enemy striking force. Score Favors Defenders Unofficially, the battle score has been overwhelmingly in fa vor of the Jet defenders. Flying with Lt. Cochran also was an elementary lesson In Pacific .northwest geography. Above the 30,000-foot level our flying time from here to Spo kane 120 miles was less than IS minutes. Below, spread out in high re lief, were Grand Coulee dam. Dry Falls, Lake Chelan and the winding Columbia river. Jets have been operating from both the Moses Lake base, re cently renamed Larsen Air Force base, and Paine field near Everett. Wash.

ONLY 79 "Specialists In Homewores" COMPANY ACfTl In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Moscow: "A cheering, applauding su preme Soviet (parliament) voted unanimously last night to con tinue Premier Joseph Stalin s government in office." INTERESTING? Of course it's interesting. But it's not unusual. It would have been HIGHLY UNUSUAL if the members of the Russian supreme Soviet had voted to throw Uncle Joe out on his ear, for in that event they would have been voting to THROW THEMSELVES OUT ON THEIR EARS. Politicians seldom do things like that. THE members of the supreme Soviet (whose iohs as Rus sian jobs go, are very, very, very cushy) then went on to en dorse a couple of resolutions adopted recently at a "World's Peace Partisans congress" held in Stockholm. The resolutions demand: 1. Prohibition of atomic weap ons. 2. Branding as war criminals officials of the first government to use atomic weapons. After that they dusted off their hands and went on record field and the 325th all-weather unit from McChord air force base near Tacoma have been split for the combined opera tion. Divided into wing sections of four, the modern fighters will scramble beyond sight of north west residents for the remainder of this week. They offer encouraging regut tal to recent statements that this section of the United States is "expendable." to express a conviction that the Soviet government will con tinue to pursue its constant pol icy of PEACE AND FRIEND SHIP among the nations within the United Nations, and else where will DEFEND INTERNA TIONAL PEACE AND SECUR ITY." During the discussion, speak ers attacked U. S. and British policies as "imperialist and ag gressive." America and Britain, these speakers said, are using atomic energy FOR WAR. Rus sia, they added, has mastered atomic energy FOR PEACEFUL, CREATIVE USES ONLY. BUSHWAH? Of course it's bushwah. All propaganda is bushwah. BUT you must have noticed that while Russia is prepar ing for war with every ounce of energy she possesses she is talk ing peace out of the other side of her mouth. While we prepare for hot war, all our diplomats are talking about THE COLD WAR WE ARE FIGHTING. I"ID you ever hear of Pavlov's U experiments in conditional reflexes? It's a long story and it sounds like a dry subject, but this is the long and the short of it: Pavlov discovered that by ringing a cer tain bell at a certain time he could eventually make a dog's saliva and digestive juices flow EXACTLY AS ' IF HE HAD PLACED FOOD BEFORE THE DOG. The dog, in time, came to as sociate the sound of the bell with the idea of food, which the dog WANTED very much. CO WHAT? Here's what: I think the Russians are adopt- Charts showing train arrivals, departures and connections are now displayed on international and other through trains of the German Federal Railways. Pas sengers can sec at a glance when Ing Pavlov's Idea to their propi-Thursday, June 32, 1950 gandi. They are ringing the peace bell. At every opportunity they accuse us of scheming for aggressive war. They are hoping that in time they will condition people's re flexes so that when they hear the Russians talk they will THINK OF PEACE and when they hear us talk they will THINK OF WAR. Since everybody wants peace (exactly at Pavlov's guinea-pig dogs wanted food) that will tend to turn the sympathies of mil lions upon millions of people toward Russia rather than toward us. I'M AFRAID we're playing Rus sia's game. We talk constantly of the "cold war" we're fighting. We tell of the staggering weap ons we're creating (bombs that will track down their target as a dog tracks down a rabbit, for example). I think we ought to talk more about peace and less about war. We have to go on preparing for war, of course, But let's not talk so much about it. So far as war preparations are concerned, let's just saw wood and say nothing. When he coined the phrase: "Speak softly and carry a big stick," Theodore Roosevelt said something.
