Newsman
Of B-52 N
Editors: Russell Nielsen is
the first newsman to accom
pany a crew on a flight in
a B52 nuclear bomber, the.
Strategic Air Command's
main weapon of retaliation
in case of attack.
Describes Flight
uclear Bomber
BY RUSSELL NIELSEN
Spokane (UPI) It takes a
good plane and a good crew
to deliver a nuclear bomb to
a target halfway around the
world and Maj. Rodney Bar
to has both.
Should enemy planes or
missiles wing toward this
country, Barto's crew would
have its sleek, eight-jet bomb
er in the air within 15 minutes
to retaliate.
This requires practice and
that was the purpose of this
flight. Every phase of a flight
to the enemy's homeland must
be practiced until the crew
men can perform their various
duties mechanically.
Today's mission involved
serial refueling, navigation
and bombing.
Lt. Col. George Cameron,
commander of the 326th Bomb
Squadron at Fairchild Air
Force Base here, was at the
controls as the B52 shrieked
down the runway and then
began a fast climb to rendez
vous with a KC135 tanker at
37,000 feet.
Refueling Practice
' Cameron slowly slipped the
lomber through the down
thrust of the tanker's engines
until it was just below and
behind the 135. The extended
refueling boom made its con
nection just behind the cock
pit, and Cameron worked to
keep the plane level. The
tanker's tail hovered just
above the bomber's cockpit.
Barto, the aircraft com
mander and a pilot of various
types of bombers since World
"War II, took the next refuel
un. Once, after the connec
tion was made, the B52 be
gan to swing sharply from
ide to side because of the
tanker's downthrust.
Barto chuckled. into the in
,rcom to S.Sgt. James Hill,
"Stay with me, gunner."
The gunner is positioned in
the remote tail turret. His
only connection with the crew
is by intercom and he has a
rough ride during refuel oper
ations. 4
For two, hours, Cameron
and Barto practiced these
high-speed hookups which re
quire great flying skill, but
lastly increase the bomber's
range. Then we headed east
on a navigational exercise to
Minot, N.D.
The bomber loafed along at
about 450 miles per hour, and
at 39,000 feet the ride was
smoother than if we had been
in the finest car on the finest
highway.
Over Salt Lake
At Minot, we climbed to
41,000 and headed southwest
to Salt Lake City. The brown
of the Montana plains gave
way to the white-topped green
of the Wyoming mountains,
and soon the Great Salt Lake
appeared as a huge steel-blue
blob.
Here we veered northwest
ior a bombing run on Boise,
Idaho. Capt. William 'Jent,
tha navigator, and Capt.
James Weiss, the radarman,
Huddled over their table
downstairs and cross-checked
the information gathered by
iheir instruments. The mater
ial was fed into a ballistics
control panel.
Weiss took command of the
plane during the final mo
ments, took it in on radar, and
made a simulated bomb drop
which if real, would have
sent the unsuspecting city ris
ing in a column of dust.
Several more bomb runs
nd then we headed home to
Spokane.

Blue Monday Name
Arouses Suspicions
Augusta,. Ga. (UPI Mer
chant Sam" Bruce was more
than faintly suspicious when
he read the name on the
check. Then he read the sign
er's address and really began
to worry.
He called the bank on
which the check was drawn.
The signer
Yes the check was all right,
bank oficials assured Bruce.
The signer's name was really
Blue Monday and he really
lived on Dead Man's Alley in
Langley, S.C.
Reulher Plans
Negotiations
On Wednesday
Detroit (UPI) United
Auto Workers President Walt
er P. Reuther will enter nego
tiations at General Motors
Wednesday or Thursday in a
final-hour attempt to jolt the
company from its "take it or
leave it" contract renewal of
fer. i
UAW Vice President Leon
and Woodcock revealed Re
uther will enter the talks be
fore the contract expires
Thursday midnight. Woodcock
said whether Reuther shows
up at the General Motors
Building Wednesday or Thurs
day "depends on devlop
ments, presumably on wheth
er GM starts to budge on the
union' minimum demands.
The UAW this morning ask
ed for immediate lifting of
news blackouts on negotia
tions on GM, Ford and Chry
sler. General Motors and Ford
declined to erase bargaining
secrecy immediately and held
the union to the 24-hour no
tice agreement. The blackouts
will be lifted at GM at 9:57
a.m. and at Ford at 10:10 a.m.
Woocdock strongly indi
cated the union will charge
the company is barganing in
bad faith and perhaps will
call for outside mediation.
Woodcock said there will be
no new union proposal.

TOWNSEND ROMANCE RUMORS Princess Margaret
passes a line of nurses during her visit to Moorfield Eye
Hospital in London for giving of annual prizes. The same
day, an official Palace announcement denied rumors that
the Princess' romance with Peter Townsend, with whom
she has had three dates in the last week, was on again.
Showdown Starts On
Alaska Statehood
Washington (UPI) Show
down voting on efforts to kill
the Alaska statehood bill
started in the House today
with President Eisenhower re
ported to have thrown his ac
tive support behind the meas
ure. Statehood boosters express
ed cautious confidence they
would have the margin need
ed to pass the bill and send
it to the Senate. Debate on
the measure ended late Mon
day. ,
"Officials in the White
House" were reported to have
been contacting congressmen
by telephone to urge them to
vote for the bill.
The President met today
with congressional Republi
can ' leaders for the usual
weekly conference. Probable
topic for conversation was the
White House announcement
of Monday that the President
had "no present intentions"
of recommending any tax re
ductions this year other than
its previously - proposed tax
relief for small business.
It appeared, however, that
congress appeared in a mood
to override the recommenda
tion and cut some federal ex
cise sales taxes.
The House Democratic lead
ership threw its support be
hind Eisenhower's plea to
continue present excise and
corporation taxes for another
year. But there were stirrings
of revolt among members of
the House ways and means
committee and even louder
rumblings in the Senate.
The Senate met to debate
the administration's unem
ployment compensation bill
with a final vote expected to
day or Wednesday. Liberal
Senate Democrats and Repub
licans promised to try to
broaden and liberalize the
House-passed measure.
The House subcommittee in
vestigating federal regulatory
agencies promised to produce
a series of letters today be
tween high administration of
ficials and the agencies about
pending cases.
Other congressional news:
Rackets: Testimony before
the Senate Rackets committee
indicated brotherly love is a
virtue some unions might find
it difficult to afford. Commit
tee Counsel Robert F. Ken
nedy said records of two New
York butcher union locals in
New York showed two broth
ers. Max and Louis Block, to
gether with their sister and
brother-in-law, have received
$241,506 in salaries and ex
penses from the union in the
past three'years.
Housing: A Senate housing
committee approved a hous
ing bill which would include
a $3,500,000,000 10-year ex
pansion in slum clearance
programs and a $400 million
increase in college housing
Droerams.
Railroads: The Senate com
merce committee approved a
broad program of aid to the
nation's hard - pressed r a i 1
roads, including repeal of ex
cise . taxes and ; guaranteed
loans.
Evaporation from the sur
face of the Great Lakes is said
to vary from about 20 to as
much as 30 inches a year.
