Crash of Superbomber
Is Expensive Blow to
Defense Department
By CHARLES CORDDRY
United Press Aviation Writer
Washington (U.R) When a
B-36 Superbomber and its crew
of professionals crash, the De
fense Department loses in de
structive capacity something like
hundreds of bombers of World
War II type.
Chances are it also loses a
team which had been put
through rigorous training for
months or even years to smack
a specific target in the event of
war.
Gloom Spreads '
These are reasons that gloom
spreads through the Pentagon
like wildfire even when there is
a report that a B-3S, somewhere
is in trouble. If the Superbomber
crashes, as one did at Spokane
Tuesday, the cost of replacing it
is conservatively stated as $3,
500,000 aside from the lives
lost.
' The B-36 is the biggest and
one of the most complicated
combat airplanes in the world.
Its 230-foot wingspan makes a
nice contrast with the 120 feet
which comprised the entire dis
tance of the Wright Brothers'
first flight.
Can Fly 10.000 Miles
Lt. Gen. Curtis E. Lemay,
strategic air commander, who
controls the Superbombers and
keerjs their crews at neak rjrofic-
iency, would have them on their
way within hours after a war
started. They can fly 10,000 miles
without landing or refueling and
can hit a top speed of 435 miles
an hour over a target at close
to 50,000 feet, where fighter
interception is a tough proposi
tion. The best jet fighter test
pilots will vouch for that.
The B-36's Job is atomic bomb
ing. To do it, they are equipped
with a bombing system combin
ing optics, mechanics and elec
tronics and costing $250,000 a
copy. The Kremlin would shud
der if it knew what LeMay
knows about the bombing acu
racy of B-36 crews; just as those
crews shudder whenever LeMay
finds them not quite up to his
rigid standards.
LeMay operates the Super
bombers under command of the
joint chiefs of staff. Many of his
staff officers and aircraft com
manders are veterans of his
World War II 20th Air Force, a
B-29 Superfort outfit in the Pa
cific. He has sought to make
bomber, piloting an attractive
Air Force career and many of
his B-36 commanders have had
five years experience flying
other bombers before stepping
into a Superbomber.
They command self-contained
air-going battleships, bristling
with 16 20-mm. cannon for de
fense and bomb-bays that will
hold enough atomic explosives
to do the work of hundreds of
conventional bombers of eight
years and more ago.
The new Kingdom of Libya is
Africa's fourth and largest inde

foreign crown or colonial em

High Court Upholds
Oregon Bar Exams
Salem U.R) The Oregon Su
preme, Court took cognizance
Wednesday of charges that have
been made upon occasion that
Oregon's bar examinations are
not fair, especially to those who
have studied law in out-of-state
schools.
After studying the exams de
vised by the board of bar exam
iners, the high court said, in an
opinion written by Chief Jus
tice James T. Brand:
"Our conclusion upon the
whole matter is that the exami
nations given in Oregon consti
tute in general as fair a test as is
given in any state, and that the
recommendations already made
by the present board, which
have been approved by the
court, indicate that the quality
of the examinations given as a
test of worthiness to practice
law in Oregon, will not only be
maintained, but will be improv
ed in the future. .

Truman has nominated veteran
diplomat Robert D. Murphy to

County Officials
Will Meet April 26
The fourth district of the As
sociation of Oregon Counties will
hold a meeting in Grants Pass
on April 26, according to Coun
ty Commissioner Robert Lytle,
Valley View, who is president
for the district.
The meeting will be concerned
with "resolutions adopted at the
last convention which will be
reviewed and discussed, and rep
resentatives of the highway com
mission and bureau of public
works will be present to discuss
road matters," according to F. L.
Phipps, The Dalles, execuKve
secretary of the association.
All members of the county
court are planning to attend, and
also the county engineer, Lytle
added.
The fourth district is compos
ed of Jackson, Josephine, Doug
las, Coos and Curry counties.
The state is divided into six
districts.
Secretary of Labor
Upholds Presidential
Steel Mills Seizure
The two strongest earth snocks
recorded since the use of seismo
graphs for measuring them be
came general about 50 years ago
were the Assam-Tibet earth
quake of August 15, 1950, and
the Colombia temblor of 1906.
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Gov
ernment seizure of the steel in
dustry was the only way Presi
dent Truman could keep mills
operating "in the Interests of
this nation's freedom," in trie
opinion of Secretary of Labor
Maurice J. Tobin. '
In a speech before the 27th
Pacific Coast Management Con
ference, Tobin predicted " a long
and prosperous future in this
country" for private enterprise,
providing it "recognizes its ob
ligations to the free society in
which it exists."
Society Will Insist
But he said, "if private enter
prise fails to perform the func
tions our society requires of it,
the society will insist that they
be performed by some other in
stitution." He also condemned "a few
unions in this country" which
"do not share the allegiance of
the main body of American la
bor in our system of private en
terprise. "It is really a mistake to refer
to these organizations as un
ions," he said. "They are fronts
for the Communist party ... in
the labor movement they are
outlaws . . .
"It is important to recognize,
however, that . . . they are the
exception and not the rule in the
American labor movement."
Returning to the government
seizure of steel, he said "nobody
is happy that the steel dispute
has to be settled this way. Bui
when our society Is in a crisis,
management as well as labor
must sacrifice its own interests
in the interest of serving that
society.
No Appeiita for Selsura
"Neither i the president nor
any body else In the administra
tion has any appetite for seiz
ure. But there was no other way
to keep the mills operating, as
they had to be kept operating in
the interests of this nation's
freedom."
Tobin criticized the "attack of
steel on the integrity of the pub
lic members of the Wage Stabili
zation board" as one of the "most
unfortunate acts of the whole
controversy." .
"The board members are pri
vate citizens," he said, "who
gave of their time at consider
able sacrifice to help their coun
try when it needed them. They
deserve something better than
the treatment they have receiv
ed for making an honest de
cision." ,
departmental estimates, which lt
is now studying.
After an agreement is reached
on budget figures, the court will
announce the dates of the pub
lic hearing.

and today there are five people
