Anderson says that be cause of design compromises the TFX fighter plane cannot be used on many of the Navy's attack air craft carriers, published testimony showed today. The chief of naval operations said in testimony released by Senate investigators that the pro posed two . service supersonic fighter as now designed is too big and too heavy to be used on any attack carriers of the modernized Essex class. "Use will be restricted on the three attack carriers of the Mid way class," Anderson testified. He said the plane designed by Gen era! Dynamics Corp. is 1.1. 500 pounds heavier than original Navy specifications, and 8.500 pounds heavier than revised Navy specifications. The top Navy military official made it clear that he preferred the losing design submitted by Boeing Co. He said there were a number of concessions made by the Navy to meet Defense Secr- tary Roliert S. McNamara's insis tence on one plane for two serv icesthe Navy and Air Force. The Senate investigation sub committee is looking into why Mc- Namara gave the multi-billion dol lar contract to General Dynamics, instead of following unanimous military recommendations favor ing the rival Boeing plane.

Geiger Air 3ase Closed SPOKANE (UPD - The Air Force has announced the virtual closure of Geiger Air Force Base, an Air Defense Command (ADC) base with a unit of F106 super sonic jets. The action means a loss of an estimated $l2-mil!ion a year to the Spokane area economy. The announcement said the 498th Fighter Interceptor Squad ron will be moved to McChord Air Force base near Tacoma in July. Affected will be some 1,150 military personnel and 199 civil ians. Of those, only 438 will make the move to McChord. . The 84th fighter group, the ad ministrutive organization, will be disbanded, releasing about 918 men for other Air Force assign ments. Col. Lester F. Johnson, com mander of the 84th, said McChord was chosen as the base at which to consolidate two fighter squad rons instead of Geiger because Tacoma was not considered a prime target area. Fairchild Air Force base here, a strategic Air Command (ield with B52 bombers, KC135 tankers and Atlas missiles, is tabled a prime target. Disclosure of Anderson's stand came as the TFX dispute ap peared to be headed for a show down between McNamara and his Senate critics. Sen. John L. McClellan, D- Ark., chairman of the subcom mittee investigating the TFX contract award, asked Comptrol- Icr General Joseph Campbell to make an independent study of the cost standards involved. The object was to find out once and for all whether Boeing or General Dynamics could build the controversial plane at least cost to the taxpayers. McNamara told McClellan he would be glad to cooperate with Campbell s watchdog General Ac counting Office. But he warned that the Air Force projected cost estimates were considered "so un reliable" that they could not form a foundation for a realistic deci sion. The report McClellan requested could mean a turning point in the dispule. Should it favor Boe ing, as the parade of military witnesses before the McClellan subcommittee has, it could mean a climactic confrontation between McNamara and his Senate foes Tax Credit Plan Tabled SALEM (UPD-The House Tax Committee Saturday tabled a pro xsal to permit up to a $10 income lax credit for political campaign contributions, then turned its at tention to proposed income tax in creases. All nine members of the com mittee many in shirtsleeves were on hand for the day . long work session. They were expected to continue working on income tax measures until lata afternoon.
