But she thinks she'll attend

"Oh, I Imagine I'll be there,"

By 1955, Vandenberg said, the
Russian air force will be almost
entriely jet-propelled and "will
begin to approach ours" In num
ber of atomic bombers.
Vandenberg said Russia has
20,000 combat planes, not count
ing ' several thousand" In re
serve and in its European and
Asiatic satellites.
He called Communist China "a
major air power" which has
more air bases than are planned
for the world-wide U. S. Air
Force. Red air power in the Far
East, he said, tops America's,
even though the United States
has about a third of its combat-
ready planes in that theater.

Seized by State
Seattle (U.R) . The Wash

this month seized several drug
products containing fluorides be
