Na tional security demands prompt de velopment of the Columbia river basin. Secretary of the Army Oray said Monday. He told a house committee that how It s doue through creation of a Columbia valley administration or some other way Is for congress to decide. He said he did not believe that creation of a CVA was the only way the basin can be developed. But for himself, he added, he felt that the CVA was the best approach. Under any circumstances, he went on. -I urge that without delay and for the interest of national security this treat program to develop the Pacific Northwest go forward." Testifying before the public works committee, which Is considering bill to set up a CVA. Oray said the army long has been seriously con cerned with the need for full devel opment of the rtver basin, and added: ' -It is essential to national defense 4hat the hydroelectric potential of the Columbia river and Its tribu taries be fully realised and devel oped as soon aa practicable. The power of the Columbia a needed tor aluminum prodaetlon and for atomic production." He said the growing industries of -the Portland.

They point out that tanker planes can operate in the 200-300 mile an hour range and that the high speed Jets ran be throttled down to that .speed without losing control or ap proaching the stalling point. The aerial refueling system used bv the I'KAF now is based on the i British method of attaching a flex ible hose line from the tanker to the receiving bomber, then letting It flow by gravity. However, there have been recent reports that a new. faster and safer method of mid-air refueling has been perfected. i The trade publication Aviation i Week reports it has learned that ! Boeing Aircraft company, makers of ! the B-38S, B-50s and other combat- I ant and cargo military planes, has ; developed lu own refueling system. As described by Aviation Week. the method is this: A Boeing C-57 cargo plane Is equipped with tanks to carry between 6500 and 7000 gal lons of fuel. Prom the tall of the C-7 a hollow boom extends to carry the fuel. ! At the Up of the boom are airfoils ' similar to the controls surfaces of an airplane.
