Senate Preparedness Committee Says
Gadgets & Top ■ Level Indecision
Responsible For Air Defense Slow-up
WASHINGTON, (A5) — Senate"
defense investigators said yester
day an excess of gadgets and top
level indecision have slowed down
military aircraft production and
prevented the development of ad
equate air defenses for the Uni
ted States.
The highly critical report was
the latest of a series from the
Senate Armed Services Prepared
ness Subcommittee headed by
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex).
In order to speed aircraft pro
• i
duction to meet a possible Rus
sian atomic attack, the report sug
gested appointment of a full-time
production czar by the president
and an overhauling of present
basic defense legislation.
Some of the same recommenda
tions were made last November
by the same defense watchdog
group but Chairman Johnson, in
a separate statement, indicated
they had not been carried out.
Johnson said the airpower
buildup has been slowed down by
a “capacity for indecision which
at times has reached amazing
levels.”
Although the Defense Depart
ment did name a production czar,
Johnson said, “He did not receive
the necessary authority and even
tually was reduced to the status
of a job holder passing time.”
Aides of Johnson said this was
Clay Bedford, industrial leader
who was named special assistant
to the Secretary of Defense.
The new report asked appoint
ment of “a full-time production
czar with powers to determine
priorities, to freeze designs to the
necessary extent, and to order
quantity production initiated, so
that our minimum air require
ments are met as quickly as pos
sible.”
The report also called for a
greater share of federal funds for
air power and less for ground and .
sea arms.
The report was sharply critical
of constant changes in models and
additions of gadgets and gim
micks to aircraft designs. It said
there was a need for design freez
es and mass production.
“A tendency toward ‘gimmick
erie’ has loaded some 6f our
planes with gadgets to a point
where their effectiveness has
been decreased.” the report said.
No such delays face Soviet Rus
sia, the report indicated, saying:
“When the Russians stop mak
ing tractors and start making
tanks they can ill afford to permit
such end items to become abso
lete.”
Some comments in the body of
the report appeared more wither
ing than the conclusion and re
commendations.
An example:
“As will be demonstrated, the
history of our air buildup is a
saga of bad programming, neg
lected warnings, lack of coordi
nation, abuse, misuse, and disuse
of power, bad advices to the ex
ecutive, and a general refusal on
the part of our governmental
agencies to pull together or work
together in a dedicated way to
strengthen our air arsenal.”

New Place Names
/
On Seward Penn.
Will Change Maps
(Anchorage Daily News)
By Bob D. Armond
The latest decisions on Alaska
place names by the U.S. Board
on Geographic Names will make
quite a number of changes on the
map, or maps, of Alaska.
The Second Division received
the most attention from the Board
on Geographical Names in its
newest decision list. Seventy of
the 107 names listed as having
been officially adopted are in the
Second Division. Most of the 70
are on Seward Peninsula and
mostly they are brand new to the
map.
For the most part, these new
names do not show any special
originality — American Creek,
Aurora Creek, Berry Creek, Black
Gulch, Bonanza Creek, Cotton
wood Creek, Eldorado Creek, Eu
reka Gulch, Goose Creek, etc.
There is, however, Sturgeon
• *
Ridge, with Caviar Creek not far
off. And, in the same general
area, is Muskellunge Creek.
There’s no explanation attached
to this decision, unfortunately,
since there isn’t a Musky within
a couple o‘f thousand miles of
this creek, so far as I can learn.
A few of the new Second Divi
sion names are interesting enough
to cause speculation as to their
origins — Twincairn Cine, Skele
ton Butte, Noyes Creek, Noxa
paga River, Lost Jim Cone, Hoo
doo Hill, Hannum Creek and Car
ex Creek—and to cause some re
gret that the Board does not con
cern itself more with place name
origins.
