Mass Output Of B-52's
The Air Force has ordered mass produc-
tion ot the boeing n-52 jet bomuer, wmch is
con&iuerea the standard heavy bomber of
the /ur force oi me tuiure. me n-ot is an
eigm-jet, hign-speeo hea\y bomoer which lias
been in development tor some years.
At the same time, the Air t orce announced
that anotner production center ipr the B-62’s
would be estaoiished a* Wichita, Kansas, thus
giving the counity two b-o2 production
plants. This is thought advisaole in view oi
the possioiiity oi a sudden aerial attack,
whicn might wipe out one plant more easily
than two.
It is expected that the B-52 will be the stan-
dard bomoer in at least seven heavy bomber
wings included in the 142-wing total Air
Force program. The standard heavy bomber
at the moment, the B-26, a combination jet
and conventional propeller-driven aircraft,
is expected to be converted to a tanker air-
craft as the B-52's replace the older heavv
bombers.
Thus the large number of 3-3G's in use at
present will not become useless. On the con-
trary, the advent of the aerial tanker system
in the Air Force makes them ideal for this
type of mission. »
The Air Force has also announced that it
had placed the F-100 Super-Sabre in “im-
mediate accelerated production.” The Super-
Sabre, a North American Aviation improve-
ment over the F-o6, which performed so suc-
cessfully in Korea, has already exceeded 760
miles an hour in initial tests and is expected
to be the finest fighter plane in the world.
The B-52 is a giant bomber, with a tail rising
almost five stories into the air and a wing-
span of 185 feet. Other details, remain secret.
The Air Force announcement indicates a
stepping-up in the aerial rearmament pro-
gram and Air Force spokesmen admit that
recen* Russian announcements on the hydro-
gen bomb are partially responsible for this
accelerated pace of production. The Adminis-
tration is apparently taking the Russian an-
nouncements seriously and. in the present
state of world tension, that is the only sens-

The New Hoover Study
A new commission, taking up where the
old Hoover Commission left off, has gone to
work to study ways to reorganize the Execu-
tive Branch of the Federal Government. The
purpose of the study and prospective reorgan-
ization is to eliminate obsolete Federal activ-
ities and those which can be carried on as
well, or better, by state governments.
The new commission is headed by former
President Herbert Hoover and includes such
men as James Farley, Herbert Brownell. Jr.,
four members of Congress, and others. The
commission has both new members and new
authority.
The old Hoover Commission spent many
years studying the operation of the Federal
Government and finally recommended more
Ki"
x i
than 200 changes. Over 100 of the changes
have since become law and it is estimated
that Government operating costs have been
trimmed as the result by as much as $2,000,-
000,000 a year.
The new Commission’s studies will prob- j
ably cover a period of years also, and there-
fore no immediate results can be expected.
However, the study'is welcomed and it is

1 just rejecived a little book
from, and by, my friend Dick
Hyman. It’s called "Nonsense,
U.S.A.” and is published by the
E. P. Dutton Company of New
York.
Theiv isn't a line of sense in
the book—Dick's hobby is to pick
up foolish Americana—and that is
probably what makes it enjoyable.
There is altogether too much so-
called sense in this world today.
You won't be able' to use the
book for anything unless, per-
haps, 'you are looking for an
epitaph for a friend or a wife.
There is one here from a
churchyard in Colorado: ‘‘He call-
ed Bill Smith a liar." And here is
one from a Maryland cemetery:
“Here lies an atheist. All dressed
up and no place to go.” And this
one from Pennsylvania. It is from
the grave of a dentist: “Stranger
' approach this spot with fp-uvity.
John Brown is filling his last
•avity."
By the way, the jacket of the
><X>k guarantees that 99 44/1UU
per pent of all it* contents is true.
You may take your choice.
Just one more epitaph, this one
'rom Middlebury, Vt.: “I put my
wife beneath t.Iis stone. For her
repose and for my own.”
White House Press Membei
Receives Mission Donkey
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. (U.R>—
It seemed like a peaceful Sunday
until a man telephoned at 8 o clock
in the morning and said he had
a donkey for me down at t ic tail-
road station.
The "donkey" was a tiny M-xi-
fcan burro named Pedro, presented
to me by the hospitable people of
Mission. Tex., when the White
House press corps was there re-
cently covering the border visit
of President Eisenhower.
The Mission .Chamber of Com-
merce shipped the brown little
beast here, along with another,
named Jos-, intended for Mrs. Ki;
enhowei s press secretary, James
C. Hugerty.
Renounces Claim
Hugcrty Quickly renounced any
claim to Jose, feeling that a burro
bears too close a resemblance to
the symbol of the Democratic par-
ty.
I had no way of transporting
Pedro except in the family station
wagon, a type of conveyance to
which burros obviously arc unac
customcd.
The only way Pedro could get
in our station wagon was to be
lifted bodily. 1 managed by lifting
his front end la^Nrst, then shou
ered his rear extremities- in wij
the rest of his body.

Pedro stuck Ids face out cf ti
ear and a bus careened toward
the driver it.u-i.ig in pop-em
amazement. When wc stopped fi
a traffic light, the bus drive,
yelled, "wiiaddaya. got that muli
hi llie buck of youc car lor?"

“Because he doesn't like ridii
on top," I yelled back.
We finally got Pedro home,
Again 1 wrestled him out of t

BOTHELL, Wash. — Sharon Pakinas, 7-year-old
Bothell schoolgirl who has been studying radio along
with her father, Nick, a correspondence student of
a school in New York City, has passed the Federal
Communications commission examination for the
Novice Class license in Seattle at the same time as

Kind Neighbors
Probably Lonely
DEAR R. B.: In all probability
your two most attentive neighbors
•are lonely—being divorced and in
their sixties, and living alone, 1
take it. In an effort to mitigate
their loneliness, they are shower-
ing kindness upon you.
They find sulf-forgctful pleasure
in preparing different dishes for
your table, and derive additional
dividends of happiness, in visiting
back and forth, as then gifts are
tfivon, and thanks received, I sup-
pose.
As your mother was a great
friend of theirs, naturally they
miss' her company. And having
served her tirelessly towards the
end, they are specially in need
of another interest to take her
place in their scheme-of-useful-
ness, as they try to adjust to her
absence. So they've settled on you
as fill-in, no doubt with lurking
appreciation of the fact that you
are an attractive bachelor, hence
a grace—note in their largely
feminine world, I'daresay.
Interchange
Helps Both
It would be generous of you,
and probably mutually beneficial
on the psychological level, if you
would accept their attentions in
friendly spirit, and repay their
courtesies in kind, occasionally. In
invite attention from neighbors
familiar with the pangs of lone-
liness, hence sensitive to the prob
lem in others. My advice is ti
be thankful for kindness met, ir.
a time when you specially nee-,
