One World War II bomber was taken out of molhhalk afiop sitting on jacks (or 15 years out there and proved to be in ex cellent flying condition. Questions are some times raised as to why the B47s can't find a peacetime use. As in the case of the B36s, they appear lo lack the kind of workhorse economy demanded for civilian purposes. Though it can load ten tons of bombs, a B47 has a crew of only three men and at most can ac commodate four one in the viawiway, lis operating costs, figured a minimum when they have been loaned at cost to motion nicture u " an nollr ...in.il (jiuuaury noesn t cover men more man the fuel and oil.

Fleet Cut The Air Force has alreariv an. nounced that its fl.v.1 nf inn B47s in Europe will be cut to 80 by July l, with the rest ex pected to be brought home sometime in 1965. The onlv non - U.

Meanwhile, it thnv rh Australians can have un in mi B47s to operate as an interim torce. The TFX is scheduler! Jn ho roughly 2'i times faster than tne B47.

(UPI) Teen-Age Inter ests Move Into White House With New Leader By IIICLEN THOMAS Unilrd Press International WASHINGTON (UPD-Life. in the White House now has a teen-age tinge. The new era took over when President and Mrs. Johnson moved into the executive man sion with their two daughters, Lynda Bird, 19, and Lucy Baincs, 16, and the two little Kennedy charmers, Caroline, 6, and John Jr., 3, who had cap tivated the nation, moved out. Althouch thev are Texans all the way, both the Johnson girls were born in Washington and have lived in the glare of offi cial lite. Both have poise and uninhib ited natural friendliness. Both are pretty, and both have their father's gregarious nature and their mother's gentleness. Lives Are Chanced Their lives were changed rad- typical teen-age accoulerments. Taking (lie place of the five Kennedy dogs in the White House menagerie were Lucy's beagle puppies, "Him" and "Her." Furthermore, Lucy, who travels with a crowd of young teenagers, has given the White House switchboard a long list of the names of her friends. Lynda Bird is engaged to En sign Bernard Rosenbach, 23, of Comfort, Tex. There arc reports that Lynda Bird will be a White House bride. But her parents want her to finish college first. Lynda loves to ride, swim, dance and bowl. But she also is a great reader. She is vivacious and equally at home with grown-ups and tcenacers. Lucy is more the domestic" type and less devoted to school work than her sister.

Secret Service agents moved in emme- diately to protect Lynda Bird a sophomore at the university of Texas in Austin, and Lucy Baincs, a junior at the National Cathedral School for Girls here. Agents are with them con stantly now. In the first several days after their father became President the girls were besieged by pho tographers. Lynda called her mother in Washington to com plain jokingly that she was "running out of good clothes" to wear for the picture taking. Lucy told her mother she had to get to school 10 minutes ear ly to no her posing. But none of the sudden new popularity has changed the girls.
