Small Planes Can Carry Large
A-Bombs, Air Force Man States
St. Louis, Mo. (J.R) An Air
Force leader said Saturday night
small fighter planet now can
deliver atomic bombs "m u c h
more destructive" than those
which big bombers dropped on
Japan during World War II.
He said such planes could be
"decisive" in preventing or
quickly ending so-called little
wars.
New Concept
Gen. Thomas D. White, air
vice chief of staff, unveiled in
prepared speech to the Reserve
Officers convention a new Air
Force concept for using tactical
aircraft "equipped with either
atomic or non-atomic weapons
to cope with nibbling Com
munist aggression "at any trou
ble spot on earth."
His statements offered one
answer to question some con
gresional Democrats have been
asking how is this country go
ing to fight "fringe wars" like
Korea with the Eisenhower Ad
ministration's "New Look" de
fense force which emphasizes
air power and atomic weapons
and sharply reduced army
ground force strength?
Use Like Bullets

Foster Dulles to the effect that
this country no longer 'regards
atomic bombs as weapons to be
used only in case of all-out world
war. Mr. Eisenhower said at a
news conference that if new
tactical atomic weapons could
be delivered accurately against
strictly military targets, he saw
no reason why they should not
be used as routinely as bullets.
White said the development of
nuclear weapons and in-flight re
fueling has diminished the for-

Rigid Navy Order
Bans Displays of
Guided Missiles
Washington (U.R) A new
rigid Navy order bans any pub
lic display of guided missiles and
other new weapons "until furth

The order means that no Navy
missiles will be exhibited on
Armed Forces day on May 21
although the other two services
are going ahead with plans for
displaying at least two types of
guided weapons .
The Air Force will show its
Matador pilotless bomber here,

Hopalong Cassidy Hero of
4-Year-Old Davy Crockett
By JOHN COLTON
' United Press Correspondent
Houston CU.R) Now don't
holler this around the hills, but:
The great-great-great grandson
of the original Davy Crockett is
a Hopalong Cassidy man himself.
He is Davy Crockett IV, age
four, a devotee of the six-gun
not the long firle. He wears the
standard Hopalong black hat, not
the coonskin. And to top it off,
there is no TV set at his house".
His dad. Davy Crockett III, is
the great grandson of the young-
plays "presumably" will be seen
this year.
Heads Off Plans
The Navy said its order was
issued to head off plans of field
commands to display missiles.
The order was issued over the
name of Navy Secretary Charles
S. Thomas. It will ban Navy dis
plays of the Regulus guided mis
sile, which has a similar role to
the Matador's and is carried in
submarines, and the Terrier,
which has a similar job to the
Nikes.
Navy spokesmen said that the
order was issued to prevent any
mishaps in carrying out Defense
Secretary Charles E. Wilson's
tight new rules on release of mil
itary data. The Navy has been
in trouble recently for stories
on the atomic submarine Nautil
us and vertical takeoff airplanes.

They Don't, Have TV
He allowed his family had
heard the "Ballad of Davy Crock
ett" a "couple of times." His wife
elaborated a bit.
"We don't have a television set
and it's just as well for the boy,"
she said. "All that to-do about
his name might turn his head."
Prof. J. L. Highsaw, a Mem
phis high school principal who
can reel off the life story of the
backwoodsman, doubts that line
about Davy killing a "baar"
when he was only three.
True Slory Mostly -
Not unless his father held the
rifle to his shoulder for him,"
Highsay said. "But he really did
kill 105 bears in one year."
Highsaw says the ballad is true
in the main.
"Davy indeed Was born on a
mountaintop in Tennessee, near
Greenville, on Aug. 11, 1786," he
said.
"He was an Indian fighter, did
kill bears as a youngster, go to
Congress, die in the Battle of the
Alamo. In the main, its abso
lutely perfect. And it's a good
thing for people to sing."

New Radioactive Element Found by AEC
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Dis
covery of a new and "intensely
radioactive" element which does
not exist in natural form on
earth was reported Saturday by
University of California scien
tists working under contract
with the Atomic Energy Commis
sion. The scientists, said they dis
covered the synthetic form of
matter. Element 101, when they
bombarded another synthetic
element, 99, with 41,000.000
electron volt alpha particles in
the university's 60-inch cyclo
tron at Crocker, Calif.
The discovery was made by a
team of five scientists two
months ago. They named it Men
delevium after a 19tn century
Russian chemist who developed
the eriodic system used to classi
fy elements.

Element 101 is the heaviest
atom known, but the scientists
said it has no practical place in
atomic energy for either bombs
or power.
"However, like the other syn
thetic elements . . . it will help
broaden man's understanding of
matter, especially the principles
involved in problems relating to
atomic energy," they said.
