Of course, an airplane weighing 210 Ions makes a fine target (or missiles or fighter planes espe cially since it moves comparatively slowly. II is a sitting duck at 10 miles high. Until the enemy tries to hit II. As soon as Ihe plane is picked off by radar, her crew (ires back with electronics cnunler measure devices that jam the enemy's ra dar capability. Deadly Oame Like playing chess, we and our enemies have sparred through the years. We've developed radar to pierce their jamming devices and they've retaliated. We develop bet ter ECM and they counter with theirs. Electronically controlled anti aircraft missiles can be thrown off course with ECM. Fighler planes arc blind without radar which can be jammed, loo. The planes close loo quickly for eflectiveness when Ihey face each other, so, for insurance, the B-.i carries four remotely controlled 50 caliber guns in the tail, where a fighter attack is likely. There is even a delense, but not a very good one, against heat-seeking missiles like our own Sidewinder. i bomber can drop something hot iroin Ihe plane to befuddle the missile. Hut more sophisli caled models aren't fooled. The heat-seeking device is coupled with an electrical thinking machine That weapon and all olhers are useless, however, against a low level attack. Even radar is not very effective. But that method has its drawbacks. Jets gulp fuel voraciously al low altitude. They use a third of their reserve just getting olf the ground and to altitude. They swiz zle about 7, Mo pounds of it dur ing runup, taxi and takeoff. That can be solved by flying tankers poised strategically to re fuel bombers. Crews Expendable Another, hut less important haz ard, Ihe crows are first to admit 'Barmcttler and Allord did i the ship is liable to he vaporized along with Ihe target "We're expendable." Barmcttler said, "and we know it." The bombers would gel through H-."2 bases ring the enemy, ready to put on the squeeze like a pipe threader. Some arc always in the air and sale Irom a sneak missile attack. that could, if the enemy's ballis lic missiles are accurate enough, knock out every base we main lain. SAC's commander-in-chief, (Jen. Thomas II. P o w e r, has a plan to keep 20 per cent of his bomb ers airborne constantly. He may succeed i( (he Air F'orce gets the money. On the ground, SAC is making itsrK harder to hit. Missile and bomber bases are being dispersed as fast as the Air Force can manage. A year ago Travis AFH had three H-.i2 wings. Now it has one. The others have been assigned to new bases. Missile bases are going up here and abroad quickly. But SAC men are not at all sure that Ihe enemy's missiles are capable of the job. They admit that ours arc not perlect. Even if they were, they don't want to put all their blue chips on missiles. The Air Force wants diverse capability, despite much recent pressure to "mis- silizc" and to ground manned planes.

By NORM CAKDOZA The Slate Department of High er Education launched an offensive this week aimed at informing vot ers of a big issue that will be on the November ballot. The department gathered num bers of the press ahout it at Ore gon .Technical Institute Thursday to recruit support for its program It wants power to raise up to 40 million dollars for new housing and student recreational facilities during Ihe next 10 years through nonus. Ine measure wont use a cent of lax money. The department's best estimat ors predict a mushrooming crop of college students during that pe riod. The prediction, they say, is as good as certainty. For the youngsters are already on their way . . . "statistics with shoes on," department chancellor Rex Pulnam calls them. They are the third graders, for instance, now jamming the slate's elementary schools who will enter college in 1970. Oregon is and has been among Ihe top six slates in population growi h. A larger and larger per centage of youngsters are going to college these days. So. the state has to gel ready to house (hem. Many students will be living at home, in sororities or fraternities or in other private quarters. But Ihe majority of them are going to live and eat in school-owned dorm ilories. These will be paid for from ren tals and other income from students. Rut a state law prohibits the de partment to bond itself beyond about three fourths of one per cent of its assessed valuation. What the department wants to do is increase that limitation to three quarters of one per cent, ap proximately, of the real properly value, which would about double its bonding limit. The bonds will not be sold at once. Kathe:', they will be released as Ihe need arises, as facilities are expanded segment by segment. The department may not need its full new bonding capacity. The department does not want Ihe public to confuse its measure with another that will come on the ballot. The state itself wants pow er to increase its bonding limit to get revenue for new state build ings of all kinds. Since OTI. which will become a member unit of the higher educa tion department next July, has to build its new campus from a scratch, a good share of the mon ey raised by bond issue lif the measure passes) probably will be spent here. Previously, the institute ha.; been a member unit of Ihe de partment of lower education, a state agency completely divorced Irom the higher education depart ment. Only self-liquidating buildings will be affected by the new bond ing program. That is, those build ings such as cafelerias, dormito ries, student unions, health coll iers and athletic stadiums which are paid for over a period of time, not immediately. Classrooms and other academic facilities are paid for when Ihey are built , Irom tax monies. Rhode Island's largest single in dustry is manufacture of textiles.
