Korean Conflict
Too Small For B-36
(By Elton C. Fay)
WASHINGTON, (/P>—The U. S.’
ultra long-range bomber force,
the weapon designed for instan
taneous retaliation should Amer
ica be attacked, is sitting out this
Korean war. It appears destined
to stay out of action unless more
than Korea is involved.
Airmen said today there is no
indication that the B-36 inter-con
tinental bombers will be needed
or that any of the giant planes
would appear in the war zone un
less it is decided to test a few un
der combat conditions.
The point they make is that in
the Korean theater there are
virtually no strategic bombing tar
gets, except for an oil refinery
or two and some rail centers.
Proponents of the B-36 say it
isn’t intended for making short
strikes at ranges of only a few
hundred miles. They feel it is re
served primarily for operation
from home bases against targets
deep in some distant enemy home
land.
Truman to Address
Nation Wednesday
WASHINGTON, (£>)—President
Truman will send a message on
the Korean war to Congress Wed
nesday and report to the nation
on it that night by radio.
The White House said neither
the message nor the report to the
people has been completed yet.
But the message to the lawmak
ers will carry recommendations
for legislative action* to back up
our efforts to throw the Red in
vaders out of Korea.
The message will be sent to the
lawmakers at 11 a.m. (E. S. T.)
Wednesday. The radio report over
four major networks and televi
sion, will be at 9:30 p.m. (E. S. T.)
As for the message to Congress,
Presidential secretary Charles G.
Ross told reporters:
“It will be quite a comprehen
sive one, giving background of
the situation, explaining all steps
that have been taken by this gov
ernment and containing legisla
tive recommendations.”
Earlier Democratic leaders had
met with Mr. Truman and dis

None would say what Mr. Tru

food rationing would not be made

Government officials have pre

for controls over steel, curbs on
consumer credit, and possibly a
tax increase.
