Air Power 152 Wings Are Now On Hand And Available WASHINGTON, (#—Secretary of Defense Wilson said that this country now has “152 wings on hand and available for national defense” when Navy and Marine aircraft and units are evaluated like Air Force wings. Using this same basis, Wilson said “the total defense program of President Eisenhower calls for establishment of 176 wings by July 1, 1956.” This was Wilson’s reply to one of scores of questions from Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-Me) who with other lawmakers ‘has been questioning the cutbacks in funds and goals for the Air Force. pressed the view that Soviet Russia has not started an all-out war be-| cause it knows all the might of| the United States and its allies would unite against such aggres- | sion. ane Despite the numerical superior- | ity of trained Rhssian army di- visions, Wilson said he is confident | that the free nations ‘would be} able to offer real resistance and} would ultimately win in the event of war.” Part of the questions by the only | woman senator were first asked at | public sessions of the Senate Ap- | propriations subcommittee more than two weeks ago. Mrs. Smith expressed dissatis- faction with some of Wilson’s re-| Plies and finally handed him the} written list, asking written an-| swers. | In his detailed replies released | Thursday Wilson commented that some questions were based on “er-| roneous assumptions’ and “argu-| mentative assumptions” or were | “dffy questions.” | He said other questions involved | top military secrets and that if) Sen. Smith insisted on answers, | they must be given “‘off the record | and in executive session.” | Father Held In Chaining | Of Young Son | ELGIN, fl. (®—A 41-year-old watch worker was held in ja Thurs. after police charged he had bound his 12-year-old son to a} porch chair with an iron chain.| Louis Molner Jr. was charged | with endangering the health and life of a child, He was arrested Tuesday on complaint of _ neigh-! bors. Police said they found Molner’ son Gary on a front porch chi with a 12-foot chain looped around his neck and padlocked to the! chair, They quoted Gary as saying that | he was chained while his parents j were at work because his father was dissatisfied’ with his perfor-| mance in a Little League baseball | game Sunday. Molner told police that when he) and his wife Sylvia came home} for lunch Tuesday they discovered the boy had been playing with matches. Gary was placed in a children’s home pending disposition of the charge against his father. Tornado Tracers | BALTIMORE (#—A nation-wide radar network to track tornadoes and reduce the loss of life and property from such catastrophes has been proposed by a weather expert. Capt. Howard P. Orville, former head of the Navy's Meteorological Division, estimated such a system could be built at 35 key weather stations, He suggested it would cost about five million dollars a year over a 10-year period.

Let’s b it. How did it happen?” “I don’t know.” “You mean you were so drunk you don’t remember?” * sir.” y “What do you mean?” Mandell shifted his weight on the chair. “I mean I don’t know how it happened. I went into the dathroom to take a shower and there she was.” Joe Mercer of the Blade backed out of the bathroom. “You can still pick ‘em, Barney. I'll give you credit for that much.” Carlton looked at Lieutenant Rose. “What did you tell me he said her name was?” “He claims he doesn’t know her name.” | “My_Sainted Aunt,” Carlton . “What's her name, Barney?” “TI don’t know.” As fat a man as Inspector Carl- ton was thin, with a_ deceptive Buddha-like smile, Lieutenant Rose looked up from the personal trivia he had found in a green ei purse under a camel’s hair coat. “Her name is Marvin, first | name Cherry. She was a part- | time model. And she lived at the Tansfield Arms Hotel.” .,The assistant coroner came out of the bathroom, “How about the time of death?”, Carlton asked him. “Offhand, four or five hours ago.” The coroner’s man put on a hat and coat. “She's your ady. “Where did you meet her, Barney?” Inspector Carlton asked. “In Johnny's Bar,” admitted Mandell. . “I thought you were married to Gale Ebbling.” “T am.” “Then how come you picked up this girl?” Mandell started to explain. He couldn’t. How can you explain hurt? How can you explain how you feel when, after you've been away from her for two years, your wife promises to be waiting in a certain hotel—and isn’t? “Well?” Carlton asked. Mandell got to his feet. “For God’s sake, get this over. Take me down and lock me up. So I killed her. I don’t remember it. I don’t remember having anything to do with her.” No one laughed. No one even smiled. Inspector Carlton dropped his coattails, “How long have you been drinking, Barney?” “Since the bars opened this morning.” “Why?” “Because my wife wasn’t here to meet me like she promised she — be.” ae “Just got out of the sanitarium, didn’t you, Barney?” “Yes, sir. This morning.” Inspector Carlton looked at Graziano. “You see him come in with the girl, Jim?” Graziano said, “No. Mandell was alone every time I saw him.” Lieutenant Rose pushed Barney back in the chair, “Sit down. Relax, son. It will be some time before we start for the Bureau.” Inspector Carlton’ said, “Now let’s get back to another angle, Barney. This man you say was waiting when you came into your room this evening. Can you de- scribe him?” “No, I can’t. It was dark.” HAL BOYLE SAYS NEW YORK # — Every tourist leaves America smiling, but eight out of 10 come home scowling— because of the ogre waiting for them.at the end of the trip. This ogre is the customs inspec- tor, and it is his sad task to paw through your luggage to be sure you aren’t smuggling in the Brit- ish ‘crown jewels without paying duty on them, The customs inspector is a nice fellow with an odious responsibil- ity, and he often takes a lot of abuse. He knows he will never be named “Man of The Year,” and that in a popularity poll he would rank even lower than a dentist or traffic cop, It pains him. that so many travelers resent him. “You know,” one told me, “I sometimes dream of how wonder- ful it would be if all tourists were nudists, It would make our job so much pleasanter all around.” If you are one of the hundreds ly will have to deal with customs officials. Here are a few tested tips: 1, If you are entering a foreign country, such as England, where the language barrier is practically unsurmountable, just stand silently before the customs inspector. No matter what he says, shake your head. When he gets tired of looking at you, he will let you into the country. 2. On your return to the United States, don’t say, “Why should it take me longer to get into Ameri- ca than it did Christopher Colum- bus? After all, he was a foreigner- and I was born here.” The average | customs inspector hears this re- mark five times a day. And the five people who say it’are the last | ones he clears, 3. Wear as guilty a look as pos- sible. The customs men know from | @ experience it is the traveler fh an innocent face who is most likely to try to cheat Uncle Sam. 4. Don't buy anything abroad, then you won't have anything to declare, The chances are, anyway that no matter what you buy your wife will tell you she can get the} same thing at the local department | store for 10 per cent less—and in the right size. | 5. If you do purchase some ar-j ticles, itemize them fully oa your} customs sheet at their proper value | and put them all in a single bag. and don’t wrap them in soiled laus- | It is thoughtful travelers like | who make veteran customs) mn break down and cry with} gratitude.

Above all, never say to @ tired customs inspector, “You must have an exciting job—you meet-such in- teresting laundry.” He may never let you back into the country. Re-examination Of Drivers Possible TALLAHASSEE #— Gov. Dan McCarty signed into law Thurs. a legislative act giving the Florida Highway Patrol authority to re- quire re-examination of drivers whose competence it has reason to question. The new law, which becomes ~ {effective July 1, also gives the patrol the right to re-examine drivers involved in accidents, Licenses of those who fail to qualify on re-examination may be suspended or revoked. The governor also signed into law bills making it unlawful to resist a highway patrol officer and not to answer a summons from the patrol. He also gave his approval to bills specifically exempting the patrol—which has its own pension plan—from the state retirement system “and empowering the Cab- inet to invest patrol pension funds The governor also signed an act ossword « Puzzle ACROSS 5 Swert potato 8 Anclent Roman hair stener ta 12.

The average man can't get clipped for six hundred dollars and not bother to report it. I know I'd raise the roof. Now, about this similarity in perfume. Before I got here, you told Lieu- tenant Rose that the dead girl used the same perfume as your wife.” “Yes, sir. She did.” at was what attracted you to her in the first place?” andell corrected him. “No. She was attracted to me.” “So you came up to the room, got into a drunken quarrel about something, and before you thought, ‘ou popped her so hard you broke er neck.” Mandell began to sweat again. “I don’t remember.” Inspector Carlton lost his tem- per. “Stop lying to me. Did you or didn’t you kill her?” “I don't know. I don’t think I did. No matter how drunk or or @ man is, he’d remember a thing like that.” : Lieutenant Rose and Inspector Carlton conferred. Then Rose sat on the bed and laid a fatherly hand on Mandell’s knee. “What were you going to do “ her, reste ee was going to hide the body. “Why diane you?” “I realized ‘that was crazy thinking.” “And you aren't crazy?” Graziano said hotly, “Cut it out, Rose.
