Brown said he believed stale Eisenhower forces can name 10 of Indiana’s 32. State campaign headquarters have been opened In downtown hotel. and work has begun on appointing chairmen for each of the state's 14 districts. Brown said most of EisephoweFs supporters still are operating He added, theyhl remain there until after primary elections.

Brown predicted if Eisenhower returns to the U, S. by June his btate boosters will muster enough delegates to the convention to shatter Sen. Taft’s support in the midwest. E ' “If they (the Taft forces) don’t get all of Indiana’s 32 delegates, it will be a defeat jfor them/’ he said. “After all, got the state committee two p. S.

Reds Building Up | Korean Air Power Increase Strength Despite Heavy Toll Washington, Feb./. 23.—(UP)— The'Coihmuntsfd are building ud their air power in North Korea despite the toll taken by United Nations •planes, informed sources said today.: It was estimated that the Chinese Reds now have about 1,700 planes—including 900 jets—in Manchuria and North Korea. t This would indicate that Russia is supplying the Chinese air fdree with about 100 planes a month, in addition to the number needed to replace Mig-15 jets shot down' by the U.S. air force. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, air fdree chief of staff, estimated last November that .the Red air force in Korea totalled 1,400 planes, half of which were Mig jet fighters. The present. Red air strength is believed to be greater than that of the United Nations, both in jet apd propeller-type planes. I j It also was reported that Russia is making progress in developing a new, high-speed bomber capable of making round-trips to , American targets. According to first details reaching here, the new Russian bomber, design type 31. is expected to have a speed of 470 miles-an-hour and a 6,500 mile range. It is presumed to be powered by a turboprop engine, which harnesses the power of a jet engine to a propeller. It is estimated that the Russian air force will have 10 to 20 of the new type bombers by the end of the year. v • Incident Barring Chinese Is Closed No Future Comment In San Francisco South San Francisco, Calif., Feb. 23—(UP)—Residents of the mid-dle-class neighborhood whose democratic vote to bar a young Chinese family from their .midst brought world-wide repercussions «aid today the whole incident is closed.
