OKLAHOMA CITY, March 24.
(UP)—A veteran airlines pilot said
today it has become routine to fly
as much as 4,500 feet above normal
cruising altitude to escape cocoa-
colored dust storms swirling al-
most three miles above the South-
western plains.
Capt. Lay Dutcher, Braniff pilot,
said the clouds this year are worse
than at any time since the "dust
bowl” era of' the drouth-stricken
’80s.
Much of the country over which
Dutcher flies regularly on his
Denvrr-to-Oklahoraa City run has
not had a good rain since last
October, and the ’’high dusters”
form when turbulent March winds
claw at the powder-like topsoil.
Wind Erosion Evident
Extent of the wind erosion now
spreading over the vast wheat and
cattl» lands of four Southwestern
states was dramatically evident to
passengers aboard Dutcher’s big
DC-i last night. A 70-mile-per-hour
wind was blowing at the top of the
dust storm.
Dutcher pushed the non-pres-
surized ship up to 15,000 fret to
"get cn top” or the cloud. He said
yesterday’s storm was "medium
bad.”
“It was worse last week,” Dutch-
er so id, "and it has been bad all
this year, but not as bad as what
I saw in the 1930s.”
(In Fort Worth, the regional
U. S. Soil Conservation headquar-
ters said Texas and Oklahoma
areas sufering erosion damage have
more than doubled )n size in the
past two weeks.)
Because of the unusually high
altitude, the pilot advised passen-
gers 1o fasten seat belts and avoid
exercise. They found breathing a
little more difficult.
The ground below was almost
hidden by the pall of dust.

—One engine caught fire and an-
other quit, two survivors said to-
day of the B-50 Superfortress that
exploded yesterday “like a bomb in
the sky,” killing 12 crewmen.
Only the bombardier and co-
pilot parachuted to safety. And
they could give no clew to why
the huge plane suddenly blew up
beyond the engine fire and failure.
Wreckage was thrown over a
two-mile square area of the cactus-
studded desert.
The co-pilot, First Lt. W. T. Gen-
try, 26, Kokomo, Ind., said "I just,
had my chute on and dropped
through the hatch.”
Capt. J. N. Lee, 29, Gaestra,
Mich., the bombardier, said the
blast blew him out of the fuselage.
After a long fall, he managed to
open his chute.
Neither was hurt seriously.
Mrs. Fred L. Backketter wit-
nessed the crash from the ground.
She saw one of the plane’s eng-
ines begin to smoke end:
“Then boom!—it exploded like a
bomb.”
The plane was bn a routine train-
ing flight from Davit-Mountain

CAPITOL HILL
SURPRISED AT
IKE’S REMARK
WASHINGTON, March. 24 (UP)
—A remark by Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower had a lot of congress-
men worried today.
The Senate military appropria-
tions subcommittee voted unani-
mously to ask the wartime allied
commander in Europe to come here
and explain it.
The Columbia University presi-
dent said in a New York speech
last night that the United States
is dangerously weak militarily. He
said it has disarmed too much for
safety.
Capitol Hill found his remark
not only alarming but surprising.
The administration has asked
Congress to vote $13,911,127,300
for the armed forces in fiscal 1951.
The services had put in requests
adding up to more than $20,000,-
000,000. but the administration cut
them down.
Congressional surprise at Eisen-
hower’s remark stemmed from the
fact that he helped to draft the
budget as it went to the Hill. He
spent three months here last year
doing it. Defense Secretary Louis
Johnson had said “This is Eisen-
hower’s budget.”
In view of that, and in view of
the general’s testimony before a
House subcommittee supporting
the budget, congressmen wondered
if something had happened some-
where to change Eisenhower’s
mind.
Rep. George H. Mahon, D., Tex.,
chairman of the House group be-
fore which the general appeared
last month, thought that Eisen-
hower’s remarks had been “mis-
construed.”
He told the subcommittee, Mahon
reported, that the budget as sub-
mitted “is as far as we can go.”
And, he congressman added, he
offered “no suggestions for in-
creasing wrl

Defenses For Alaska
Alaskan Defense — The House

military construction bill totaling
$689,058,181. Of this, $100,000,000
would go toward strengthening de-
fenses in Alaska, the American
outpost which looks across a nar-
row strait toward the vast reaches
of Russia in Asia. The Air Force
had told the committee that its
present setup in Alaska could not
mount a counteroffensive “of any
appreciable size or duration.”
Communists—Attorney General
J. Howard McGrath and FBI Di-
rector J. Edgar Hoover will tell
Senate investigators on Monday
how they feel about disclosing con-
fidential government loyalty files
to Congress. They will testify pub-
licly before the Senate foreign re-
lations subcommittee which is in-
vestigating charges by Sen. Joseph
R. McCarthy, R., Wis., that the
State Department is infested by
Communists .McCarthy and other
Republicans have demanded that
the department turn loyalty files
over to the investigators. Mean-
while, a Republican, Sen. H. Alex-
ander Smith, N.J., defended one of
the persons accused by McCarthy.
McCarthy had accused Ambassa-
dor-at-Large Philip Jessup of an
"unusual affinity to Communist
causes.” But Smith said “There is
no possible question of his unim-
peachable integrity and complete
loyalty and devotion to his coun-
try."
