No statement set America hack on its heels more than the rpcent
testimony of Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff, bdCore

shoestring Air Force in view of its global responsibilities.
What was overlooked in General Vandenberg’s statement was hla
qualifying clause, "in view of its global responsibilities.”
This qualifier has since been re-emphasized and clarified. What
General Vandenberg wanted to make clear was that if the United
States was to be required to fight a Pacific war, a European war, a
Mediterranean or Middle-East war and also launch a devastating
strategic air attack on Russia, then its Air Force was a shoestring
operation.
tX>R the defense of the United States alone, the present 87-group Air
-*• Force might be sufficient. But if any outside work had to be done,
11 The°Air Force still sticks to the story that if Russia should attack
the United States, American Strategic bombers could retaliate with
such force as to devastate Russian cities and industrial potential.
This boast can be made, however, only on one big assumption. It Is
that Russia has no guided missiles which will be effective in shooting
down high level strategic bombers.
There is one other important factor which enters into this calcula-
tion It is simply that the B-36 bomber is rapidly becoming- obsolete.
It is obsolete in the sense that jet interceptor planes have been im-
proved to such a degree that they can overtake the slower B-36 and
destroy it. This is true of even the Russian MIG 15 jet, which General
Vandenberg declared has superior speed and climb to American and
British jets. ...
U S jets have greater fire power and better fire control. Also,
American pilots are better trained. That has given the UN Air Forces
superiority over Communist aircraft in Korea. But it is pointed out
that the UN advantage in numbers of aircraft in Korea has in recent
months been rapidly decreasing.
Answers to the problems raised by growing obsolescense of the B-36
and improvement in Russian.jet aircraft are the obvious demands for
better and necessarily more expensive aircraft, and more of them.
Better bombers are being built in the B-47, the B-52 and even a B-58
about which little has been said. The claim is made that withUztwo
years the U. S. Air Force will be able to double the foree**its

decrease was only • one-tenth of i
one per cent.
The decrease in June, when the ]
cost of living index stood at'
185.2 an increase of 85.2 points,
over the 1935-1939 average. 1
The June figure is 8.8 per cent
above the cost of living in June,;
1950.
It is interesting to note that
living costs have risen only eight-
tenths of one per cent since last!
February—the first month during
which price and wage controls j
were in effect. Even during its
initial stages, the price stabiliz-
tion program has been effective
in preventing runaway inflation.
Credit Controii Relaxed
One type of control, which has
proved to be inflationary rather
than the reverse, was relaxed.
During the debate on the Defense
Production Bill, the House ap-
proved an amendment, which I
offered, to allow a period of 21
months for time payments on cars.
There is no question that the
present 15-month limitation eon?
tained in Regulation W has de-
prived many wage-earners of
needed transportation. In addition
the restriction has increased in-
flationary pressures by forcing
persons to liquidate their cash
savings or to cash in Government
; bonds or postal savings to buy
automobiles and other consumer
durable goods. The conferees
agreed on 18 months for both
new and used cars with one-third
down payment on each. Credit on
other durables were also relaxed.
