Guam (U.R) Down here the
B 36's take off uphill. The na
tives never shout "Go home
Yank." And there's an air force
without any planes.
This U. S. island possesion is
the big offensive base of the
Strategic Air Command in the
Far East.
It's a happy tropical island,
ieven if SAC's bombers take off
l every day for grim training ex
ercises and there are rumors oi
local A-bomb stockpiles.
Hundreds of B-29 Superforts
swarmed into the air daily from
Guam 10 years ago to attack
Japan. Today, one wing of inter
continental bombers based here
can deliver an atomic blow
thousands of times more des
tructive than all the B-29's could
deal together.
B-36's of SAC's Third Air
Division, based at Anderson Air
Force Base, take off from run-

ways that slope upward from a
low point at the center. Con
tinental Asia with its potential
bomb targets is 1500 to 2000
miles away.
New Air Force
A new tactical air force, the
Seventh, is being formed here.
It, is two months old and still
has no combat planes, but some
are expected soon.
The 30.000 natives of Guam
are American citizens. They
make too much money working
for the U. S. Air Force and Navy
to bother picking up cocoanuts
that fall off the trees. Bets up
to S2500 on one cockfight are
not unusual.
- Although a small island,
Guam has thousands of acres
lying idle in woods and grass
while ships haul in food for the
U. S. forces and the Quama
nians. Three-fourths of the is
land's 15,000-man labor force
also is imported-from the Phili
ppines. Air Force officials say the
power of .atomic weapons and
the ' high mobility of modern
planes allows the Air Force to
base only a small number of
combat aircraft here and at
other Far East bases. . '
-.The U.S. Air Forces on Guam,
in Korea, . on Okinawa and in
the Philippines, might appear
to be thinly spread. But there
are many bases, ready for action
but unoccupied, which rely on
quick reinforcement from U. S.
reserves in case of emergency.
- A half-dozen operation ' or
quickly repairable bases are
available on Guam and other
Marianas Islands. They form
what the Air Force likes to call
a "complex" of bases.
Guam is just at the limit of
range for TU-4 bombers that
could fly out of Russia or Com
munist China. If a few got
through on a surprise atomic
raid, they could deal a severe
blow to U. S. retaliatory power
here.
But SAC's Brig. Gen. Nils O.
(Swede) Ohman doubts if Guam
will ever be bombed, unless
there is a general attack opening
World War III. "And before
this could happen," ; he says,
"you are likely to have a period
of tension to warn vou.'
Not long ago, at the time of
the Tachen Islands evacuation
and high tension in the Formosa
Strait, SAC's crews on Guam
were on 24-hour alert. With a
general warning, Ohman says,
"we could be fully operational
within 20 minutes."

The youth was arrested earlier

sheriff's deputies. He is accused
of breaking into the home of
Charles B. Broomfield, 1575
Grand ave., by cutting a hole in
a screen door.
In court, he waived counsel
and preliminary hearing and
was bound over to -circuit court.
