AIR FORCE HEAD
SAYS REDS HAVE
MOST PLANES
Gen. Twining States
Russia Has Thousands
More Than Does U.S.
AMARILLO. May 15 (UP)—Gen
Nathan F. Twining *aid Friday
that Russia has “by far the big-
gest air force in the world.”
The Air Force chief of ataff as-
serted that the Soviets have “thou-
sands more combat planes than
the United States Air Force, Navy,
Marines and Army combined.”
In a speech prepared for deliv-
! ery at Armed Forces Day cere-
monies Saturday, Twining said
Russia’s recently unveiled heavy
, jet bomber was designed to reach
targets in the United States.
He said the new Red bomber I
similar to America’s ultra-modem|
B-52 Stratofort. was displayed in
a flight over Moscow on May Day
in an obvious effort "to Impress
and to frighten us” at a time of
international crisis.
Drawing a grim picture of Rus-
sian air power progress, Twining
said the task of keeping ahead In
quality of planes ‘'become* more
! difficult every day” and will re-
quire "more concentration than
! ever before.”
The United States still has a
"considerable lead” in long-range
bombers and the weapons they can
i deliver. Twining said in his pre-
i pared text. He said -he U. S. Air
Force "can wield a fire power su-
perior to that of all the fighting
men of history combined.”
As examples of Russian effort to
overtake the United States in air
power quality, Twining cited the
new heavy jet bomber and a new
medium jet "comparable in sire
and design to our own B-47.” Both
flew over Moscow in the May Day
air parade.
"Their medium bomber* could
reach any important target in Eu-
rope or Asia or North Africa,”
Twining said. "They would need
the new heavy bomber only
reach important target* in the
United State*.”
In overall numbers, he aaid, the
Russian air force "far exceeds”
the U. S. Air Force and has thous-
and* more combat planes than all
U.S. military service*. That state-
ment recalled a recent claim in
the House by Rep. Errett P. Scirv-
ner R-Kan. that the United State*
out-numbers Russia in the air by
three-to-two. The House Mili-
tary Appropriation* subcommittee
chairman apparently wa» speaking
of all types of planes used by mili
tary services.

U.S. FINISHES
H-BOMB TESTS
IN PACIFIC
Awesome Operation
Reported as
''Successful”
WASHINGTON, May 13—(UP)—
The United States concluded Its
awesome H-bomb testa in the Pa-
cific with the verdict that they
were “successfuly” and "contrib-
uted materially to the security of
the United States am. the free
world.”
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced the completion of the
controversial experiments in a
terse statement Thursday night
that gave no hint of the power or
the number of city - destroying
bombs exploded at the vast Bikini—
Eniwetok proviing ground.
But it seemed clear that the tests
have been cut far short of what
was planned originally. The gov
ernment has officially reported
only three March 1, March 26, and
April 6.

suggested this week when the crew
