S. airbase Saturday night. The big jet bombing planes will be assigned to the North Atlantic Treaty organization to strengthen West Europe's de fenses agamst the threat of So viet aggression. Fourteen of the planes arrived at the American base after a mass, cross-Atlantic flight from Langley field, Virginia. It was the first mass ocean crossing by the B-45s. Attached to Jet Wing The planes are attached to the 47th light jet bombardment wing, which will be attached to NATO. They arrived in England after stop-overs at Westover field, Mass., and Rcklavik, Ice land, enroute. An Air Force spokesman said other planes of the wing were scheduled to ar rive later. The wing will be based at Sculthorpe, under the Third Air Force command and will add a "Sunday punch" to mounting United States airpower in Eu rope. The B-45 Tornado jets will be able to carry larger bombs and carry them further than er said. "She won't let the price of spuds rise too high." ' Another said he hoped "our customers won't buy'iat the new high prices. At San Francisco potatoes were $8 per hundredweight, with some batches going for as .high as $7, was the most com- mon wholesale price for spuds Influx Seen Monday Buyers thought that the price would slip Monday when a great influx of potatoes hit the market. They pointed out that much of the crop is of the thin-skinned variety which will turn green quickly If not moved. Executive Secretary Charles H. Bromann of the Associated Food Dealers of Greater Chicago said terminal market experts were "very optimistic that prices will fall below the old ceiling levels as soon as the crop comes in." "The black market is broken as of today," Bromann said. "There's just no incentive for the crooks without ceilings and with supplies increasing."
