Bernard Baruch Blames
The Administration For
Present Steel Crisis
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The cur
rent steel crisis could have been
avoided, Bernard Baruch said
Wednesday, if the administration
had used full mobilization powers
as soon as the Korean war started.
The elder statesman, addressing
the Industrial College of the
Armed Forces, said the govern
ment had the power to lay down
“a stabilization program which
treated all segments of the econ
omy alike, instead of giving spe
cial benefits to favored pressure
groups.”
Baruch said he blamed neither
the CIO United Steelworkers for
seeking higher wages to offset
living cost rises nor the steel com
panies for wanting to pass such a
pay boost along in the form of
increased prices.
“I do blame the government,”
he said, “for failing to lay down
a. standard of equity and justice
transcending the selfish concerns
of individual pressure groups and
protecting the common interests
of all.”

Details Released
On 2 New All-Jet
Heavy Bombers
By Vem Haughland
WASHINGTON, </P)— The Air
Force yesterday took the “classi
fied” label off its two new all-jet
heavy bombers, the YB-52 and
the YB-60.
It also: *
1. Disclosed dimensions which
show that the YB-60 is somewhat
the larger of the two.
2. Released pictures showing
hitherto unpublished details.
3. Announced that the YB-52
Strato-Fortress is going into pro
duction at the Boeing Aircraft
Co. plant in Seattle.
The letter “Y” before the B-52
and B-60 designates the planes as
developmental. They can be de
scribed as simply the B-52 and
B-60.
These are the dimensions of the
two global bombers:
Wing Span—The B-60, 206 feet;
B-52, 185. Because the wings are
swept back, the span is less than
the 230 feet of Convair B-36,
largest bomber now in operation.
Length—B-60, 171 feet; B-52,
153; B-36, 162.
Tail Height — B-60, 50 feet;
B-52, 48; B-36, 46%.
The B-36 has four jet engines,
six piston engines, a gross weight
of 358,000 pounds, a range of 10,
000 miles and a top speed of more
than 435 miles an hour. The B-60
may be considered faster than
this.
The B-52 uses an unusual
double-tandem landing gear com
posed of eight main wheels, with
small protection wheels retracting
into the wing tips.
Simeon Olivers To Return
To Alaska In June After
Two-Year Lecture Tour
*
Heading back to Alaska after a
two-year lecture tour in the States'
are Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Oliver
of Anchorage, who expect to be
“home” by mid-June.
They are traveling in their sta
tion wagon, which has taken them
63,742 miles to date, to appear be
fore 474,200 people in their 752
dates before colleges, high schools
and women’s clubs.
Oliver, outhor of “Son of the
Smoky Sea” and “Back to the
Smoky Sea,” taught school with
his wife at Atka when the Aleuts,
held prisoner in Japan, were re
patriated following World War II.
A large portion of the Olivers’
illustrated lecture is devoted *to
their experiences on Atka, but
include films and color slides of
the entire terrotory.
Pianist Oliver, an Aleut who
received his musical education in
Chicago, appeared in Anchorage’s
first “Arctic Summeretta,” in a
special performance of his “Aleut
Lullaby.”
