WASHINGTON l-P The United
States Is breaking bottlenecks in
Jet fighter and tank production but
estimates It will take a long time
to catch up on the schedules set
for big scale deliveries.
The defense chief expressed this
view in testifying before tlie Senate
closed door session Thursday.
Lovett's statement taken togeth
er with unofficial estimates of
American and- Russian-production,
pointed up President Truman's re
port to Congress on Wednesday
that the Soviet Union "is still pro
ducing more war planes than the
free nations.
The most recent unofficial esti
mate here is that Russia is pro
ducing about 15.000 planes a year.
Of these about 12.000 are first line
combat aircraft with about 70 per
cent. of them Jet fighters.
Against this is the recent esti
mate of Adml. Dewltt C. Ramsey,
(ret). President of Aircraft Indus
tries Association, that total pro
duction of American planes of all
tvpes may reach about i.auu per
month by late 1952. That would be
at the rate oi m.uuu a year aim
some industry men believe this
figure may be a little too nign.
The Industry blames the lag in
plane production first on what it
savs is tne attempt to impose a
multi-billion dollar armament pro
gram on a booming civilian economy.
Industry leaders say the primary
reason for lagging production has
been a ' shortage of engines and
component parts traced to scarci
ties of macmne toois ana anoy
metals needed in Jet engine manufacture.
The Army is producing an undis
closed number of light, medium
and heavy tanks.

Five Iron Curtains Guard the Soviet Union
By SIGRIO ARNK
Washington There are five Iron
Curtains not Just one surrounding
the whole Soviet Union.'
They run along the tremendous
Soviet border, from Norway on the
Northwest, around tho South past
Afghanistan and India, and up the
PRctflc coast all the way to the
Bering Straits.
News about the five curtains has
slipped out of the Soviet Union
piece-meal ever since Uie Russians
moved tens of thousands of Poles
out o( Eastern Poland curly in
World War II, .
Information comes from refugees
from the satellite nations in Eu
rope from Russians who have es
caped and turned against their nov
ernment. from secret papers found
during World Warr II, and lrom
published Russian law.
The story has been pieced to
gether in Washington by Russian
experts both in and out of the gov
ernment. Experts say that Moscow has set
up these curtains for two reasons:
to keep unwanted foreigners out of
Uie country, and to prevent Rus
sian citizens from escaping into the
free world.
They point out that under Com
munlst beliefs the world is really
at war, a war for men's minds:
that the Russians are up against
a more serious problem than keep
ing out troops and tanks. They
must also try to keep out Western
ideas. . .
Here are descriptions of the five
curtains;
1. At the actual border there Is
a strip of plowed ground 15 feel
wide. This is to catch tho foot
prints of anyone who may have
escaped during the night.
2. Next there is a border about
1.600 feet wide that Is threaded

Top Military
Men Study
'New Korea'
By C. YATES McDAMEL
WASHINGTON I Military
chiefs of the major Pacific pow
ers began talks here Friday on
what can be done In event an as
sault from Red China Is launched
against French Indochina. Such a
"new Korea" would threaten nil
of Southeast Asia.
The staff chiefs of Britain,
France and the United States, with
observers from Canada, Australia
and New Zealand, open their top
secret conference under a dark
shadow cast by reuorts that the
great leader of the fight against
communism in Southern Asia lies
dying in a Paris clinic.
Urgency was given to the high
strategy session by warnings from
French Gen. De Lattre de Tus
signy before he was stricken in
Indochina and flown home for
treatment.
He expressed fears, backed up
by facts and sobering evaluations,
that Red China was preparing a
major Intervention In the Commu
nist inspired and led rebellion In
Indochina.
Diplomatic officials in London
said Britain. France and the U.S.
are considering plans to set up a
unified military command In South
east Asia. This would enable a
pooling of available air, land and
sea forces. The command would
be tied in Indirectly with the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.

reported fur specific spots.
3. Next Is a strip about four
miles wide, which is Just a No-
Man's land. It contains barricades
and field mines. Former residents
have been deported. Border guards
patrol the area with dogs: and
aided by spotlights.

about the loyalty of Soviet citizens.
8. The fifth Iron Curtain is really
big. It consists of the areas Into
which NO foreigner may enter. It
was described In notes from the
Soviet government to all foreign
embassies In Moscow on Sept, 30,
1948.
This zone extends from the bor
der hundreds ot miles toward the
Interior. It includes largo sections
in the very center of the Soviet
Union. It includes one area, Kazak-
stiiu, which lies north of Iraq.
Afghanistan and India that is half
the size of the United States. West
ern experts think this zone hides
new Russian industrial areas new
military establishments, and fur
ther, areas in which there have
been sporadic revolts by the peo
ple against the Communist reglni.
Even Russian citizens may not
travel In the first four zones ex

Iron curtains. - For all Moscow's
taik about the brotherhood of the
"People's Democracies" the Rus
sians have carefully set up the live
Iron curtains between the Soviet
Union proper and their satellite na
tions in Mlridlo Europe Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Rumania, Hungary
and Bulgaria.
Even so the satellites have their
own ring of Iron curlulns on Ihrir
outer European borders. There Is
now evidence coining in that the
Russians are running their bur
rlcts down the middle of Germany i
and Austria even while they talk j
of peace treaties for the two na
tions. I
