6. MAIL TRIBUNE, MfforJ, Or. Thursday, Oct. 29, 1959 Air Force Will Inactivate Bases Due to Missiles Washington - (DPD - The Air Force, in a new move empha sizing the trend toward mis iiles, announced Wednesday that it will shut down a Ver mont air base and inactive three jet fighter squadrons in Vermont, Ohio and New York. The Air Force said the ac tion reflected the "changing composition of the Air Force, Involving increasing numbers of missile units and decreas ing numbers of aircraft units." At the same time, the Air Force released $150 million for work at previously an nounced Intercontinental Bal listic Missile bases. California Included Included with $43 million for Titan ICBMs at Beale Air Force Base, Marysville, Calif. $31,900,000 for Atlas ICBMs at Lincoln, Neb., Air Force Base: $43,200,000 for Titan ICBMs at Mountain Home, Idaho, Air Force Base; and $31,900,000 for Atlas ICBMs at Schilling Air Force Base, Salina, Kan. The cutbacks followed disclosure in Dayton, Ohio Tuesday by Air Secretary James H- Douglas that the Air Force's authorized manpower strength Is being cut by 20,- 000 men. Not Up to Strength The Air Force is not up to Its authorized strength of 845,- 000, however, and will have to reduce by only 8,000 men to get down to its new level of 825,000 by next June 30. The manpowers cuts appar ently are being ordered now In anticipation of budget cuts for personnel next year. They reflect coming reductions in air defense jet squadrons as well as cutbacks in B47 Stra tegic Air Command squadrons. . The Air Force currently has 27 wings of fighter-interceptors with three squadrons to a wing. Today's move will reduce it by the equivalent of one interceptor wing.

Shortages Due In Fall, Winter New York (UPD Consumers i will feel the pinch of the na tion's longest and most costly steel strike this fall and win ter in the form of shortages of most cars, refrigerators and other durable goods, Iron Age magazine said Wednesday. These shortages are not likely to be critical, the trade weekly said, but the con sumer's range of choice will be limited. Many manufacturers of these products have already had to cut back or shut down production , completely, the magazine said. Regardless of the date of the strike's end, it added, further cutbacks for weeks are inevitable. Even auto plants with top priority for new steel do not expect to return to production before three to five weeks af ter the mills reopen, Irou Age said. Many appliance dealers are . out of 1959 models, and next year's models are slow com ing in, the trade publication said. This situation will grow progressively worse until the mills resume production. a-TW Halloween is fun time and we've ''scared up" a big selection of party foods this weekend at Safeway.
