TUESDAY, JANUARY 5 PAGE EIGHT IIERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Air Force Wings Now Comprised 01 Fast Jet Bombers Br ELTON C. FAT AP MillUry Affain Reporter WASHINGTON Ml The Air Force, racing against the growth of Russian air power, now has at least half its fleet of strategic me dium bombers composed of swift, high-altitude jet craft. And by the end of this year the World War n design, conventional-engined B29 and BSO bombers may be gone from the medium wings, replaced by the tom bomb-toting Boeing B47 Jets. These developments apparently figures In the recent decision to rely less on manpower and more on air power to maintain the U. S. military position In the Far East. In 1963, deliveries of all types of military planes from the aircraft Industry totaled about 1.200. Accellerated deliveries coupled Government Seeks Lost $20 Bills WASHINGTON HI Employes combed the government's Bureau of Engraving and Printing today In the one in ft million hope of finding 8,000 crisp new ready-to-spend $20 bills. Admittedly, it was a forlorn hope. The odds were overwhelm ing that whoever stuffed plain white paper into two money pack ages over the new year's weekend had made off with the $160,000 which should have been In those packets. By now the loot, which would be far and away the biggest haul ever made in the plant where your Sis and $5s and upwards are print ed, may be buried somewhere or may be headed for a black mar ket overseas. It's possible some of the miss ing money may seep into circu lation. Here's how you can tell if one of the bills comes your way: Each of them is ft $20 Federal Reserve Bank of New York note. It bears , picture of Andrew Jack son. It belongs to the series 1950-A, and the serial number falls Into one of these groups: B90236001A to B9O24OO00A. B90252001A to B9025000A. Chief U. E. Baughman of the U.S. Secret Service made public those serial numbers last night even before his agents began ques tioning the engraving bureau em ployes who may have had access to the rooms where the money was packaged and supposedly started on its way to ft huge bur glar proof vault. Yesterday morning when the plant reopened after the New Year's weekend two money pack ages in the vault turned out to be suspiciously light In weight. Alarms sounded, and the paper Vrapped packages, sealed with of ficial labels bearing the proper ser lal numbers, were found to con tain nothing more than money -sized white paper. Henry J. Holtzclaw, associated director of the bureau, said It cer tainly looked as If somebody presumably an employe had walked off with the $16,000, quite likely disguising It as a Christmas present. DIVORCE HOLLWYOOD Un Actress Jane Wyman announced yesterday that she and composer Frederick M. Karger, her third husband, have failed to effect a permanent re conciliation. They separated ft few weeks ago, got together again and now the actress has instructed her attorney to file a complaint in div orce court alleging mental cruelty. INSPECTION SAN FRANCISCO (ill Gen.

A win? of that type normally contains 45 planes. The rapid Increase in the Soviet Union's operating air fleet of jet and rocket-powered interceptors has made more urgent the con version of the U. S. strategic fleet from the slow (400 miles an hour) jet planes. For long-range heavy bombard ment the air force at present has about lour wm;s (30 planes each) dding four Jet engines to the six piiton engines which give the bomber its ultra-long distance. , Delivery of the first production items of the Boeing B52 heavy, all-jet bomber is expected to start next fall. That plane, while lack ing the range of the piston-engincd B36, flies faster than even the me dium B47. To compensate for the high fuel consumption of the jet, engines, the B52 is being equipped for mid-air refueling from tanker planes, thus extending its range substantially. Presumably it was with these factors in mind that President Ei senhower spoke last week of "our of Convair B36 bombers. These 'growing national air power," which huge planes can carry 40 tons of bombs of any kind, including hy drogen weapons, at moderate ranges and operate over a radius of more than 5.000 miles with les ser loads. Their speed has been stepped up to above 435 miles by he said possesses greater mobility and striking power than ever be fore. In that same statement an nouncing the planned withdrawal of two Army divisions from Korea he warned (hat. if the Asiatic Com Korea, in all probability H would not be possible to confine hostilities to Korea. ( That strongly implied warning, enemy interception. that American nir power would be loosed upon the homeland of the Chinese Reds in event of truce vio lation was in marked contrast to policies expressed when the Korean War was at its height. TPp Air Force officials then ad vised both the Defense Department and Congress that it would be un wise to attempt bombing Manchu ria. The reasons given were two: that in such an operation Soviet- bombers. " I development oi hluiiuc 2 Tne use of jet bomteld Tn" TcoLl Z reduce the percentage of losses 10 thi; our armed services."

If fewer planes were sent out on a mission, fewer would be lost. 4. Whether a target Is "profit able' is relative. It depends on the availability of bombs. Two U. S. bombers, and that there was years ago atomic bombs were still a lack of profitable targets for the critically few. Today production of 3.

This basic design soon to become famous throughout the world quickly established a new stand ard of performance for low-priced cars. And note, with its 22 years' experi ence in building over 13,000,000 V-8's, it is only logical that Ford is first in its field to introduce a brand new type of V-8 the Y-block V-8 . . . together with the most modern Six in the industry the new and advanced 1-block Six. Both now 195-1 Ford engines have overhead valves for most efficient high compression operation on today's fuels. Valves are free-breathing to give you the most GO . . . free-turning to scat tightly and maintain high compression. Both engines have a deep-cast block with skirt that extends well below the crankshaft for greater strength and rigidity . . . smoother, quieter performance and extra-long engine life.
