Air Force 'Spies' Work Way Into Vital Bases as Test of Security Omaha, Neb. (U.R) The Air Force is sending "spies" and "sa boteurs" into vital bases of the Strategic Air Command to test the effectiveness of their secur ity barriers. Undercover agenfs worm through guarded gates with forged passes. They pose as milkmen or soda pop salesmen. Inside, they steal secrets or plant "bombs" to destroy equip ment. Col. Edward A. Crouchley, chief of internal security for the SAC, says special teams of agents have been carrying out these exercises since mid-1953. "They are quite, often success ful," he admits. The engine of a pickup truck conks out as it passes a flight line and the driver wanders off to get help. Later, the truck is found to contain simulated ex plosives which would have blown up millions of dollars worth of aircraff. A , visiting security officer asks a sergeant in a base com munications section to protect his briefcase full of classified documents by placing it in the Salem Woman Added To Housing Congress Washington OJ.R) A Salem, Ore., woman has been added to the list of housewives invited to the "Women's Congress on Housing" to be held here April 23, 24 and 25 by the Housing and Home Finance agency. She is Mason D. McQuiston. So far a total of 77 have been invited to come here at govern ment expense to give housing of ficials an idea of what home rriakers want in the American home of the future. vault until he is ready to resume his flight. Sergeant, vault, codes and the communications section are blown sky high or would be if the explosives in the brief case were real. Not all the penetrations are successful. Passes to two differ ent bases looked exactly the same except for the name of the Polio Foundation Not To Shut Down New 'York (U.R) Basil O'Connor ' has no intention of shutting down the National Foundation for Infantile Par alysis when polio is beaten. "Ten years ago a man asked the question and I told him we'll close up shop when the time comes," O'Connor said. "But that's now now. The public wouldn't stand for it. There are too many other things we can do." The dynamic foundation presi dent was in a nostalgic mood. Tomorrow marks the first anni versary of the nationwide Salk inoculation program which has brought his dream of conquer ing polio nearer reality than ever before. Tomorrow, too, is the anniver sary of the death of President Roosevelt, O'Connor's longtime friend and law partner ' who launched the foundation from the White House more than 18 years ago. . "I've been fighting polio for 31 years in and out of the found ation," O'Connor said. "But the last three years with the vaccine have been the most fascinating. "I think now that we can bring polio under control in four or five years. There is no question of it. We will have accomp lished our main mission." base, so an agent changed the base name on his pass to try to enter the other base. He is caught. One base used pink passes, the other gray. The agent was color .blind. The ranks of SAC security forces have been thinned by re duced appropriations and dis charges since the end of the Ko rean war. Guards have been withdrawn from the outer peri meter of bases to points nearer flight lines, weapon storage areas and fuel tank fields. But big sentry dogs are being used to beef up the security zon es, and penetration agents say the psychological effect of the snarling German Shepherds is terrific. The SAC crews, says Crouch ley, are the toughest element to protect. The friendliness and "big mouth" of the average U.S. serviceman is a threat difficult to overcome. Talkative Airmen Agents have learned the en tire plans for SAC missions sim ply by sitting in a tavern and listening to airmen gossip. Oth ers have posed as insurance salesmen in order to ask ques tions. The loose-lipped airmen get a stern dressing down for talking . i . . i . . , i ... . ... out of turn, and have been sub jected to restriction of privileges and in some cases demotion. As a result they soon get "gun-shy" of inquisitive strangers. Mechanical devices also are being used to tighten up the se curity of SAC bases. Chief among these is an electric fence now being tested at several sites. They signal any approach to the fence. Still in the blueprint stage is a device named the "black box." It can be placed beneath a parked aircraft and, like the electronic fence, will flash a sig nal at a guard post if anyone ap proaches the plane. i ' - Sturdy ahwiinuni j . -V- and blue package UJ use neWALCOAWRAP Aluminum Foil to "Wrap, Cook, Cover, Cap ...try it today OPm TONIGHT UNTIL 9:00 o E AS Y TERMS o FAST FREE DELIVERY &thli &$4WMi &Mmm 4l At s Wuncla 1 Vlon me new magic carpet ay ' ;Xl& ' Coffee, lipstick, ink can't harm the iridescent luster of.
