B-36 Can Drop A-Bomb Any Place in World, Return.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (U, P.).— The army air forces lifted the curtain today on its new super-bomber, the giant B-36, which it said can “carry an atomic bomb to any inhabited region in the world and return home without refueling.” The plane, now in production at the Convair Co, Ft. Worth, Tex, plant, will replace the B-29 Superfortress as the army's top bomber. The B-36 is 163 feet long and 47 feet high. It has a wing span of 230 feet. Its maximum speed is 300 miles per hour, Its wing tanks hold 21,000 gallons of gasoline and 1200 gallons of oil, or more than the average motorist uses in 20 years. The plane can carry 10,000 pounds of bombs a distance of 10,000 miles. At reduced range, it can carry 72,000 pounds-—more than three times as many as the B-29 carries at a comparable distance. The pressurized cabin permits an altitude of 40,000 feet. The bomb bay is large enough to hold the contents of four freight cars. The plane carries a crew of 12, plus a four-man relief crew,

“Annual wages, increased securities against the hazards of life, shorter hours of work and increased opportunities for education and recreation—these, too, must come to pass for your customers and for ours if| we are to prosper.” He warned against business, complacency over the Republican landslide, and said “the reformation of business” would “have to precede the reformation of labor.” “The challenge of putting our own house in order will not be easy to accept because it will compel us to reverse attitudes which by now have become almost habitual with us,” he said. He sald that American business in the last 20 years, by and large, had “earned” fits reputation of being “opposed to everything that spells greater security, well-being or peace of mind for the little guy.” Sees Wage Increase “How?
