EMBARRASSED WHEN A
BEAR STEALS PANTS

is no accounting for bears’ tastes

the trousers at the time but when
the garment was found it was torn
i to shreds.
Fishing had to be suspended
while the blanket-wrapped Kis
was driven to Superior where he
! obtained a replacement.

B-36 Program W ill
Cost Over Billion
—
WASHINGTON, OP) — The air |
force gave Congress an estimate
of $1,022,000,000 yesterday on the,
cost of the B-36 bomber program. |
The figure came out in testi
mony by Lt. Gen. Edwin W. Raw
lings in the House armed services
committee investigation of the
giant atomic bomb carrier.
Rawlings followed other high
ranking air force witnesses who
; chorused denials that political in
I fluence or corruption had any
i
j thing to do with orders for more
j B-36’s. The subject of cost has
j come up repeatedly in the inves
tigation, which was set off by
complaints of connections between
high armed forces officials and
the Consolidated-Vultee company,
makers of the huge plane.
Rawlings is comptroller, or fi
nance man, for the air force.
He referred to the air force de
cision early this year to boost the
total B-36 program to 170 planes.
“If and when new estimates are
certified, the total dollar cost of
the program will be approximate
ly $1,022,000-,000.” • ••
An early end to the inquiry was
! indicated with signs pointing tow
ard a clean bill of health for the
air force.
