500 Bombers Can Hit U.S.

y y Unites Yress LONDON, Nov. 13—Rusgia's air force now has 500 bombers capable of dropping

atomic bombs on the United States, an authoritative military

publication said today. Brassey's Annual, a yearly re-

view of world mititary develop-! %

ments assembled by leading British experts, said that 12,000 compat aircraft are rolling from Russian production lines each. year. It said Russian combat air strength is about 19,000 aircraft, including a new jet fighter designed by Semyon A. Lavochkin. The plane, the annual said, has a performance equal to the MIG-15 now used almost daily in Korea. The 460-page analysis said Russia's best chance to win World War III would be to start it right now when the Soviet Union enjoys a tremendous advantage in modern weapons. Brassey's said Russia has 500 copies of the American B-29, in her strategic bombing force and a reserve of several hundred other four-engine planes. It said the TU-4 can reach targets in the U. 8. from Russia.

Truce Demand

By United Press PANMUNJOM, Korea, Nov. 13 —The United Nations rejected. today a virtual Communist demand for an immediate cease-fire in Korea. A United Nations communique said acceptance of the Red proposal at this point might delay if not forestall the release of thousands of Allied war prisoners in Communist hands. The United Nations will not agree to end the shooting until the disposition of war prisoners and enforcement of the truce have been assured, a United Nations spokesman said. The Communist . proposal cifically called for the cease-fire line to be based on the present battleline, with each side with~ drawing two kilometers (1 miles) to form a buffer zone, Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, United Nations spokesman, said

“This is the No. 1 theater,” Gen. Vandenberg said emphatically. “I don’t like to use the B-29 in Korea—I don't want to use any piston-driven job—but we need to get production rolling. As soon as American industry begins .to turn out more planes, we'll send them over here. “It will be only a trickle for some time and we won't really get under way for several months. . And that's assuming there won't be more strikes and acts of providence such as the Kansas City flood and water shortages in the East to. halt production.”

Gen. Vandenberg said he intended to replace the obsolescent F-80's soon. He said the all-jet B-47 is the B-29's “logical successor,” but added that “it takes more time to turn out bombers. We don't get an appropriation one day and take planes off the line the next.” | The Russians, he said, up for all-out production of the MIG’s new fighting in Korea immediately at the end of World War II.

Vandenberg said. “After all we are using conventional pistondriven bombers against jet fighters. We have had to devise new methods of attack and defense.! But we are going to lick this thing.” For the first time he revealed that B-29s—as a result of recent

losses—are being used almost ex-
