Strategic Air Base Is Like An Island Os War

Editor’s note: This is a dispatch by a veteran United Press correspondent who recently visited the Strategic Air Command’s securitytight western 852 nest near Merced, Calif. By GLENN STACKHOUSE United Press Staff Correspondent CASTLE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UP)—This Strategic Air Command base, where waferwinged 852 s squat, mean and deadly, on the flight apron, is like an island of war in the middle of California’s peaceful San Joaquin Valley. It has the same Intangible aura of urgency, of living with peril, that one felt at Kimpo Airfield in Korea where the Sabrejets went out to meet the Communist MIG15s, or at Taoloban Airstrip on Leyte where ace Dick Bong and his wingmates rose daily to challenge the Japanese Zeros. SAC’s main West Coast 852 nest is a double-duty installation. Here veteran SAC pilots and crews train other veterans in the transition to the monstrous, eight-jet Strato fortresses, while at the same time standing ready to take

off at virtually an hour’s notice to meet the enemy’s first hostile move with massive retaliation. The warlike atmosphere strikes the visitor the moment he touches down on Castle's 11,800-foot runway and sees the row upon row of 852 s with their shark-fin tails jutting nearly five stories into the air. Saved From Corregidor They are the planes of the 93rd Bombardment Wing, commanded by Brig. Gen. William E. Eubank Jr., 44-year-old native of Welch, W.Va., who fought as an infantryman on Bataan Peninsula and who was later evacuated from Corregidor by submarine as one of the key men needed to rebuild the Air Force in the South Pacific for the long fight back. When he speaks of the 852 he refers to it as “the weapon” rather than the airplane. It’s the SAC terminology that wraps up the whole package—plane, crew and bomb—in one word. “The 852 is truly the ’long rifle’ of our defense force in being today,” Eubank said. That incongruous feeling of being on an island of war in the midst of peace emanates from the men of SAC themselves. They are professionals—sober and mature men who are a far cry from the hellraising, harum-scarum kids who flew the Spads of World War I and the Mustangs of World War IL Maj. Cambridge Typical Typical of these men and their attitude toward their job is Maj. George Cambridge, 35, of Chehalis, Wash., an Air Force career veteran of two wars, who pilots one of Castle’s “weapons.” Married and the father of two children, Cambridge takes a quiet pride in the men with whom he serves. What do the 852 pilots think of their mission? Do they think they are the “expendables” of World War III? Do they think, in their hearts, that they are holding a oneway ticket on their mission to Moscow in the event of war? “Those are hard questions to answer,” Cambridge said. He paused for several seconds to ponder. “We feel the aircraft and the crews have the capability of delivering the bomb and returning. I guess it’s like any other wartime mission. Every man has to feel that HIS crew will make it. We definitely don’t feel we are being sold short, if that’s what you mean.” Pork Buy Program Starts Next Week Stabilize Market Prices For Hogs WASHINGTON (UP)The Agriculture Department announced today it will begin a pork purchase program next week to stabilize the market price of live hogs. The pork purchase program, coming on top of a lard buying program announced Oct. 2, win make 100 million dollars in federal funds available for stabilizing hog prices during the current heavy marketing period. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. x>euson said he also had been informed that the Army is planning to step up its procurement of pork and pork products during the next 60 days. Pork products to be purchased are lunch meat processed from shoulders, hams, or loins; canned pork and gravy, from loins and hams, and canned hams.
