Stratojet Bomber Sets Jes Records Shatters Distance, Endurance Records WASHINGTON. (UP) — <A,B-17 Stratojet bomber has tnade a 12.000-mile nonstop flight in 24 hours to break “all distance and endurance records i for jet aircraft.” the air force announced, today. Details also were given on two other historic stratojet missions—the first jet flight, over the North. Pole and a 5-hour 38-minute west-to-east Atlantic crossing by two of the atom bombers. On its 12,000-mile flight, the B--47 was refueled three times from tanker planes and dropped a fiveton dummy bomb at the half-way mark “to simulate a long-range strategic mission.” The test hopwhich averaged 500 miles an hour, was carried out over the southern and western United States “last year.” It equalled half tjie distance around the world. z The force described these other “firsts’ for the six-jet medium bombers which are beginning to replace slow piston-engine B-29 Superforts of the strategic air command: 1. A B-47 made the “ first jet flight over the North Pole on a round trip from Eielson air force base. Alaska, more than a year ago. x t 2. Two B-47’s of the 306th medium bomber wing, MqcDill air force base, Tampa. Fla., spanned the ocean from Limestone, Me., to Fairford. England last month in 5 houYs 38 minutes. They averaged 555 mph on the 3.120 mile flight and were not refueled in flight.: \ y The air force announced that “several wings” of the strategic air command are now undergoing B-47 training. It said the Stratojet can carry atomic bombs “faster and. higher than any other strategic bomber in its class.” MANY OPPOSE (CoNtinned From Pure One) The disappointed GOP lawmakers drew Httle comfort from Mr. Eisenhower’s statement that he is willing to let a 10 percent cut in personal income taxes take effect Jan. 1, as scheduled under present law. The consensus was that Mr. Eis- ~ enhower’>i proposals for extension of the excess profits tax and postponement of scheduled drops in corporation and excise taxes will encounter mighty tough sledding in the house, where all members are up for reelection next year. Mr. Eisenhower spelled out his tax plans in a nationwide radio broadcast Tuesday night.

Seek Showdown On Red China In UN Senator Knowland Expresses Concern > WASHINGTON UP — Some Republican senators sought a showdown with the Eisenhower adinin(stration today on the question of Red China’s admission to the United Nations, demanding that this country get out if it is allowed in. Sen. William F. Knowland RCalif. said he is seriously concerned about the “growing pressure arid constant agitation" for admitting the Chinese Communiss to the international organization. He said “events in the immediate offing? will decide whether he presses for adoption of the resolui lion he introduced Tuesday calling upon the President to take the United States out of the U.N. if Red China is admitted. * Top spokesmen so far have not committed themselves. President Eisenhower told a news conference last week that he wouldn’t say at the moment that the admittance Os Communist China to the U.N. should follow a Korean armistice. Secretary of state John Foster Dulles told newsmen on May 9 that dothing in the Panmunjom talks touched upon the matter. Diplomatic officials have been cautious on the issue because they want to defer a'showdown, at least until a Korean armistice is obtained. Knowland. however) contended that the issue “must be faced in the not too far distant future,’ ’and cited “pressure” to oust the Nationalist delegation at U.N. in favor of the Reds, "before or immediately after a Korean cease fire.” ~ “I want due notice to be given and congress given a chance to express itself* because permitting [Red China to shoot'her way into U.N. would be a betrayal of the organization’s principles and of the j 135.000 American casualties in KoI rea,” he said. • .I ' < BRITISH SHIPS (Continued From Page One) subcommittee could proceed on the assumption that the trade “is a problem for America and not of a certain political party.” “McCarthy said if there has, been a change in MSA policy under the new director. Harold E. Stassen, the subcommittee should call previous administrators to “find out how they justified” American employment of vessels that also, w-ere carrying Red cargoes. McCarthy evidently was referring to Averell Harriman. William C.; Foster and Paul, G. Hoffman but did not name them. All were predecessors of Stassen in MSA. Kennedy said also that 162 western flag vessels have engaged in the Red China trade during the first three and one-half months of I this year. He produced a chart, based on office of naval intelligence figures, which showed a "steady increase” in western trade with Red China last year. POLICY ON AIR (Continued Front Page One) I fepse cannot be measured in tefms of so many planes or wings. With new weapons, he saifh three planes today can pack almost the same punch as t)ie 2,700 used*in the Normandy landings during World War 11. Democrats have ripped into the administration for shifting the air force goal from the 143 wings planned by President Truman for mid-1955 to 120 wings at- that time. They also criticized the 32.400.-' 000,000- cutback in the air force’s] actual spending authority for fis-' cal 1954 and a $5,090,000,000 slash in the Truman request for new air force appropriations. Mr. Eisenhower said, however, that as of June 30. more than $40,000,000,000 will be available for the air force and that with additional money earmarked for naval air power, almost “60 cents out of every dollar” for national defense will be devoted ,to "air power and air defense.” COLLEGE NEWS j (Continued From One) “the world would be better off if we could penetrate the Iton Curtain, let the people know the truth and let us, on this side of the curtain. •know' what is going On there. “Let us not have an, Iron Curtain in our own commuities. in our states, and in our federal government.” This serious talk followed a 30’minute discussion on ‘'Typos/’ typographical errors, the amusing mistakes made by newspapers and how they occur.
