But Thomas took the sentence

After the curtain goes down on

‘‘On with the dance, let joy be un

No sleep till mom. when youth

To chase the glowing hours with

Rube Cremer explain how he

Charlie Pennycook and "Cham

WASHINGTON, (£’> _ The lar
flying B-36 bombers are undergo
| ing some changes, suggested by
i two years of cold weather testing,
: to enable them to operate from
frigid bases in the Arctic.
From such fields, the reach oi
the 10,000-mile range intercontin-1
ental bomber could be extended
deep down into the Eurasian land
mass. In this vastness Russia is;
reported to have tucked away j
atomic and other war goods man
ufacturing plants.
Taken in conjunction with an
other previously disclosed plan,
this would give the United States
air force a double-barreled wea- j
pon for warfare over the top of
the world.
An air force official, testifying!
;as< summer before a Congres- j
jsional committee, mentioned that |
“a typical polar operation might
involve aircraft taking off from
United States air bases, the stag
ing or topping off of i^ese aircraft
at r forward base in northern
Canada, Greenland, or even the
Polar Ice Cap.”
Obviously involved in this plan
ning is the use of the aerial re-j
fin-ling system, by which medium
bombers of the B-29 and B-501
j type are given extended range
through a fill-up of their fuel sys-,
tern from “tanker” planes meet-'
ing them at rendezvous points.
Thus, targets in Eurasia would
be within reach of either the B-36
or the B-29 and B-50 types.
Replying to a reporter’s ques
tions about operation of B-36s in
■he Arctic, the air force said this
today:
1. The big bomber has “per
formed satisfactorily under ex
treme weather conditions” both
j in the experimental climatic han
gar *at Eglin Air Base,* Fla., and
under cold weather conditions in
Alaska, where B-36’s have been
.sent for the last two months.
2. As was anticipated with a

Yang Sen were named deputy di
rectors.
Two guerrilla forces to operate
under southwest headquarters
were established. The commander
of the first force is General Wang
Tsang-Shu. The commander of the
second is Gen. Tang Shih-Tseng.
This would indicate nationalist
operations on the mainland will
be resolved into organized guer
rilla warfare. Such a step virtual
ly is a nationalist admission they
have lost the China mainland.
It does not, however, mean they
have lost completely the great war
against the Reds which has been
going on since 1927.
The Nationalists evidently hope
they will be able to consolidate
their remaining forces and con
quer the communists in the same
way the Reds beat them.
Premier Yen Shi-Chan flew im
mediately to Taipeh, which thus
becomes China’s fifth capital this
year.
Associated Press has compiled
a list of the dates Nationalist Chi
na’s five post war capitals were
established and fell:
Nanking: became the capital in
May, 1946, abandoned on Feb. 3,
1949.
Canton: established Feb. 5. 1949,
abandoned Oct. 13, 1949.
Shungking: capital established
Oct. 14, fell Nov. 29, 1949.
