Sen. Taft Assured j Os Ailment Cure 1 , Several Months Os Treatment Needed WASHINGTON, UP — Friends 1 of Sen. Robert A. Taft said today they have been assured that a few . months of intensive treatment will . Cure the “serious” hip ailment that forced him -to curtail his senate duties. The Ohio senator, who will continue to with great authority in Republican councils despite his temporary retirement as senate GOP floor leader, planned to go to his office as usual today. Associates sgid he will slip ■ quietly out to Reed army hospital several‘times a w eek, perhaps beginning 1 today, to receive the X-ray therapy and cortisone treatments which physicians have prescribed for his condition. The exact medical diagnosis of Taft’s condition was not disclosed. senator himself, smiling and apparently unwqrriefi, described it l to reporters as an “impairment” of the left hip bone. It first began to trouble him in early April gnd has subsequently become painful enough to require the 63-year-old senator to hobble about on crutches. Seeking relief, Taft recently spent a week in a Cincinnati hospital and Tuesday night flew to New York for consultations with two specialists. He isaid the physicians told him only that he is suffering from a lesion —a broad term that can apply to> many tyfres of injured or diseased tissues — and that he did not press them for details. It was learned that his medical advisers urged him to go to bed and remain there during his treatments, but Taft refused to give up his senate duties entirely. The compromise decision, which he announced Wednesday, was to turn' over to Sen. William F. Knowiand CR-Calif.) the arduous day-to-day floor leadership of senate Republicans. Taft will continue to hold .the title of senate Republican leader, and his influence on the broad outlines of Republican policy, both in White House and senate councils, will remain as great as it has been in the past —assuming that , his health improves.

Wilson Replies To Queries On U.S. Air Force Strongly Defends Pres. Eisenhower Air Force Program WASHINGTON, UP — Defense secretary Charles E. Wilson said today congress and the nation would be disappointed! if they knew the “exact state” of the air force at the beginning of the Eisenhower administration. The secretary, replying to a lengthy questionnaire submitted several weeks ago by Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (IR-Me.), said he is sure the senate a impropriations committee will “understand” the new administration's modified air force program when the facts are j disclosed in executive session. The Eisenhower administration sliced 35(090,000.000 off former President Truman’s air force money requests and substituted for his 143-wing goal what it calls an “interim” goal of 120 wings by December, 1955. It hopes to build the Air force to 114 fully equipped wings in the fiscal year starting July 1. “For security reasons I can not tell you . . . the exact state in which we found the air force with respect to wings,” Wilson told Mrs. Smith. “But when you find out the f\icts, I am confident you will believe that we will be making real'progress when we get to 114 modern wings. “When we took over we found the air force to have a certain number of wings in varying states of readiness. T.he congress and the people would be disappointed if they really knew the facts after all the money that had 'been appropriated for the air force and the large sums that had been spent.” In previous testimony before an appropriations subcommittee, Wilson had described air force strength at the end of March as 103 “activated wings,” 10 of which did not have their combat aircraft. i The secretary stoutly defended the administration’s proposed goal. As to the old 143-wing target, he said: “It is impossible to say that you can cut back anything you haven’t achieved.” Wilson also told Mrs. Smith: 1. The 20-divion U. S. army, “with its improved weapons and equipment, (barfeed by the United States navy, the United States air force and the armed forces of our allies, would be able to offer real resistance and would ultimately win in the event of war” if -pitted against the 175 divisions of the Soviet Union.
2. North Atlantic defense plans recognize the need for air superiority in European air defense. Our own defense plans recognize that fact. 3. "The navy’s aircraft carriers are not expected to be a substitute —and I emphasize the word ‘substitute’ —tor strategic air power.” But some navy planes have an “extraordinarily long” range and can carry “certain types” of atomic bombs. CIVIL DEFENSE (Continued From Page One) Wilcox skid. “Without this uniformity in counties, we could plan until the cows come home.” For cities like Terre Haute and Richmond, officials urge acceptance of the 50-mile aid plan byi counties in neighboring status. Under the old-plan. Wilcox said, county civil defense directors were confused and "didn't know what they were doing.” Cretors saM there are directors in 84 of the 92 counties and “they resign if we push them.” particularly tn smaller counties. \ It is estimated Indiana needs 141,754 civil defense workers. There are 27,975. With a more workable plan, officials hope to attract more volunteers. The four-county plan they will adopt statewide designates six areas where tHose persons might be needed most. These “target areas” are the Lake county region, South Bend-Elkhart, Fort Wayne. Indianapolis, Evansville, and New Albany-Jeffersonville. 1 Chalmer Denny Seeks National Presidency (MJNIN’EAiPOOS, Minn.
