Air Force Not Increasing
Intercontinental Fleet
Washington (U.R) The Air
Force reaffirmed Saturday it is
not increasing the size of its pro
posed intercontinental jet bomb
er fleet in the face of reports
that Russia is.
Authoritative sources expect
the United States will have
about 500 B52 jet bombers by
sometime in 1958.
Russia is reported to have ex
panded production of intercon
tinental jet bombers to enable
it possibly to have 600 to 800
by the same time.
The Air Force announced Fri
day it has placed a $248,000,000
order for about 30 B52 intercon
tinental bombers.
But officials said the order
does not mean' the Air Force
plans to expand the number of
B52's it already is planning to
build. They said the order only
represents an additional commit
ment of funds.
The B52'g cost about $8?000,
000 each.
The Air Force announced last
summer it was stepping up pro
duction of B52's. The announce
ment came after a congressional
furor over disclosure of unex
pected Russian advances in the
heavy jet bomber field.
Authoritative sources said the
number of B52's the Air Force
is planning to build will com
pletely replace the old B36 sup
erbombers. The Strategic Air Command's
Intercontinental striking force
now consists of 11 B36 wings.
The planes covered by the
new order will be built by the
Seattle Wash., and Wichita,
Kans., plants of Boeing Aircraft.
The B52 is a 600-mile-an-hour
bomber with a range of approx
imately 6.000 miles. It can be
refueled in flight from jet tank
er planes.

Recently Enacted
Ground Wafer Aci
Explained Here
" An explanation of the ground
water act of 1955 was given
yesterday by David C. Hendrix,
water master for this area."
The act, which applies to the
entire state, provides a means
for registration of all claims of
rights to appropriate ground
water by reason ' of appropria
tions actually made before Aug.
3, 1955; for adjudiciation of the
rights claimed to determine the
extent and priority of each right;
and for filing applications and
issuance of permits for new ap
propriations. It does not apply to appropria
tions of surface rights.
Provision of Law
Provisions of the law concern
ing registration of wells and per
mits do not apply to appropria
tions of ground water for stock
watering purposes, for lawns, or
non-commercial gardens not ex
ceeding one-half acre, nor for
single or group domestic pur
poses not exceeding 15,000 gal
lons per day.
They also do not apply to any
single industrial or commercial
purpose not exceeding 5,000 gal-
Jons daily.
Persons or public agencies
have until Aug. 3, 1958, to file
registration statements for any
right to appropriate ground wat
er by reason of actual and law
ful application of such water to
beneficial use prior to Aug. 3,
1955.
Forms are available for both
registration statements or per
mit applications at the water
masters office in the county
courthouse.
File For Permit
Any person or public agency
desiring to make a new appropri
ation of ground water after Aug.
3, 1955, must file for permit,
which is issued by the state en
gineer before construction of a
well or any other means of de
veloping and securing ground
water.
On licensing of well drillers,
Hendrix said each person who
contracts to construct or alter a
well must obtain a license from
the state engineer.
The word "well," he said, ap
plies to any artificial opening or
altered natural opening, by
which ground water is sought.
