"It makes you leel a lot mure

Kingslcy Field base theater Wed
nesday night.
He was referring to a two-hour
chat by two senior members ol a
B-.KG bomber crew.
They were invited outline for
the public (he awesome punch
power of the Strategic Air Cum-
mand and the way-ollifc ol the
men who make SAC lick.
The Air F"orce sent Maj. H. S
Barmcttler, a radar navigator, and
Maj. James S. Alloid. a pilot.
The local Air Force Reserve unit
hosted them. Hcilh arc (rum Travis

The relaxed, con! idem pair left
no doubt they believe SAC's bomb
ers are ready.
They and other members of the
elite striking lorco are honed con
stantly to peak ballle clliciency.
They are ready instantaneously to
dash their ships olf the ground

and do it. Each has a specific.
highly secret wartime target.
Hit if.' We'd cremate it!"
said Karmclller. The B-32 carries
stinger more potent than all
Ihe bombs dropped during World
War 11, including Ihe Hiroshima
bomb.
And Ihe bombers would gel
through. Perhaps some would l.ill
inavbe most. Hut the Air Force.

and Ihe odds look good.
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

"We're expendable." Barmcttler
said, "and we know it."

to put on the squeeze like a pipe

that could, if the enemy's ballis
lic missiles are accurate enough,
knock out every base we main

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.

that has stood between us and
destruction since the enemy de

Higher Education Group
Begins Information Drive
. 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.

dustry is manufacture of textiles.

manufacture of jewelry and silver-
