NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Sourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. ' — IRRESPONSIBLE BLUSTERING The U. S. Air Force has let it be publicly known that about 70 strategic targets in Russia have been earmarked by military planners as possible objectives for attack in the event of war. The Air Force re- ported to the Joint Chiefs of Staff that all would be within a 4,000-mile radius of air bases in Alaska and Labrador. Through interviews with reporters, the Air | Force expressed confidence that the B-36 could deliver atom bombs on all these targets and return, unimpeded by radar detection and jet interception. There can be no doubt that such information is released to frighten the Soviet rulers.

Anxiety would run high. Our govern- ment would take further steps to defend our country. And another lap would be finished in the arms race down the insane road to atomic war. There is no reason to believe that the Russians will react any differently. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Air Force chief of staff, says, “Our real problem is, ‘How would we d i fend ourselves against comparable to the B-36'2" Exactly. How? Until a better answer comes along, the wav is {1 avoid World War III. The U. S. is trying to do this by standing firmly agaii.? any further aggression the Soviet Union. But this is not enough.
