The idea is that the B-36 would carry the small speedy fighter to within two or three hundred miles of @ prospective target, release it and head back home. The fighter would drop an atomic bomb and overtake the bomber, being hauled aboard, and the B-36 would return and land without ever having been within several hundred miles of the target. The great advantage this gives the U. S. Air Force is one of having a speedy and small target for defense forces attempting to halt the U. S. aerial attack. The ma- jor criticism of the B-86 to date has been that it is too slow and, therefore, makes an excellent target for enemy aircraft guns or jet fighter interceptors. Now that it can carry a fighter in its fuselage, launch it as much as five hundred miles from the target, never coming below forty or fifty thousand feet, it becomes a more useful weapon. ‘It is also thought that the fighter, the F-84, will be exceedingly difficult to intercept, since it travels at speeds approaching those of sound, and is able to fly at’ altitudes up to 50,000 feet. Since the United States has spent many billions in building its present fleet of B-86 heavy bombers, this new adaption is a highly significant one. The B-86 bomber has a top speed of about 450 miles an hour, using four jet engines and six reverse propeller engines. It is ' obvious that a fleet of B-86’s could also make use of their new capabilities to transport a similar number of fighters to any area in the world, where it could launch them to act as a protective screen for other craft, and recover them after the fighters had accomplished their mission, Do you know anything about the planets and astron- omy in general, and will you ever know anything about! the universe around you?

Tom Whitney, AP correspondent who lived in ‘Moscow nine years, says the Rus- sian upper class is growing rather than . This is the last of a series of articles by Whitney. LONDON W—A jewelry store on Moscow’s Petrovka street recently displayed an emerald of several carats, priced at 35,000 rubles. That is about as much as .an average Russian would earn in 4% years, It is officially $8,750. The store displayed the jewel be- cause it knew there were potential customers. Soviet propaganda contends viet society is ‘‘classiess.” Anyone ‘who has seen Soviet citizens riding around Moscow in big, black or Zim limousines will realize this jis not so. Small Pobeda automobiles are priced at 16,000 rubles ($4,000) each. The demand is such tha’ a long line of prospective pur- chasers assembles each morning at Moscow’s one auto store, This means certain Russians can lay down in cash as much as the aver-| age workers earns in two years (there is no installment buying). The evidence that some Russians live a lot better than others is all about in Moscow.

But the new), upper class tends to recruit its ranks from among children of fam- ilies already upper class. Natural- ly, well-to-do Soviet citizens can provide better for their childrens’ edueation than ordinary Russian) families. Of course, it is not only educa- ‘tion that counts. Teachers and most| doctors live worse even than many workers. They form an intellectual proletariat. It is logical to suppose ‘that among this element of Soviet! society in particuiar there is much discontent. CE ie stn Chapter 2 c-. could not last indefinitely. Slowly Walt began to give way under the terrific hammering, grudgingly inching back, forced to fight defensively. Suddenly he broke away and seized a pitchfork which leaned against the wall. Ben ‘ied the seized the pitch- tk above the tines and with a jaick wrench tore it from Walt’s hands, He swung it lustily and iency all about and sometimes sur- prising technical accomplishment. May Day and other holidays bring out massed flights of Soviet, jet fighters which according to all accounts are among the world’s best. How can the Russians make, maintain and fly these aircraft in’ a country in which I could not even get my gas water heater properly adjusted? I watched a Russian road-build- ing operation for three summers. The road was only a few miles long, yet it never got finished. And the waste of materials and fuel in that operation was unbelievable.

Before jone has purchased groceries for the day in the gastronome, one may have been in 15 different lines. This inefficiency goes on every hours in the capital of the second, greatest industrial power on the earth, There is no pat or simple an- swer to the question of how ef ficient the Russians are, of how good they are on the technical side. The Russians do everything pos- sible to confuse the subject. Their inefficiencies and deficiencies they try to conceal behind a flood of propaganda on the virtues of the. Communist way of life. Nevertheless, it is clear enough ‘that the Russian workers taken in the mass are not efficient workers. This applies to Russian industrial} workers as well as to others. It! will be a long time before they, catch up with their Western counterparts, Russians have a natural mechan- ical aptitude which comes out with] training and experience, At any! rate that is my personal impres- sion. They are not slow to und stand modern machinery and tech- niques. ‘ But they lack the mechanical ex-| perience which comes from grow-| ing up in a technically advanced society. There undoubtedly. are many workers in the best plants whose efficiency and skill are in much} the same league as the West. It fis in the mass that they have such! a long way to go. | 1 think there can be little doubt | that the Soviet Union has good! scientists. Every account that I have heard credits ine better Rus- sian engineers with good theoreti- cal mastery of their subjects, Fur- thermore the Russians watch most carefully all foreign scientific and technical developments, While keeping close track of all develop- ments in the West, the Russialns are abe to conceal many of their jown discoveries and inventions. This gives the Russians some advantages but not so much as appears on the surface because of! their inefficiency in applying the- oretical knowledge. Most industrial plants must be considered ineffic- ient; some must be subsidized by the state in order to keep’ going. Agriculture also requires greater amounts of labor, :» proportion to (output, than it does in modern Western countries, The railroad system is about a Te Jeff just couldn’t resist that, al- though it is unlikely that he needed the inducement to per- suade him. “I'll want to scout) around a bit first, to learn what I can from all sources before I take over.” She sprang to her feet. “You'll | do it then?
