Program Rotated
Among Other Units
He said that during the last fis
cals year, an average of 270 of
them were involved per month, and
to assure maximum possible par
ticipation, operational responsibili
ty for the program and its conduct
has been rotated among other units
(eight in addition to the original
17) wherever and whenever tacti
cal considerations haye permitted.
It is the AC&W outfits that man
the radar sites. Thus, on that vital
island bastion of our Pacific de
fenses, the Air Guard's own radar
contr*ollers are finding targets and
supplying directional “steers” for
its own pilots.

Foot Loose
CHICAGO — Women’s feet
are^etting bigger, says a s h o e
fitting expert.
Louis Liebson, stylist for a firm
which opened its 300th store In a
neighborhood shopping center, said
in the past 15 years women's
average size has jumped from a
6B to a 7B.
He says the increase in a wom
an’s foot size is due to that fact
that lately women have preferred
a proper fit rather than a snug one.
Truth Preacher
Isabella Hardenburgh, great
American Negro leader, used the
name of Sojourner Truth because
she thought of herself as a travel
er preaching truth to all she met.
Unmapped Lake

bought 54 acres of land on the

to find it on the map.
When the map surveys were
made, the lake was dry and shore
line property owners had extended
their boundaries out to the center
of the swamp that remained. The
lake since has returned and the
property owners retreated to the
shoreline. .

TOSS BOMBING — An F-lOO Super Sabre releases a bomb as it soars upwaM over a target at Eglin
AFB, Fla. The plane will be long gone when the bomb completes its climb then streaks downward on
the target some distance away. It is an effective way to drop an atomic bomb, giving the fighter a
chance to be out of the blast area before the bomb hits. ' (Official Air Force Photo)

America’s peacetime history. ' |
The Guard maintains active-]
duty detachments to augment the
Air Defense Command in certain
strategically vital areas. Seventeen
ANG squadrons were-involved
when it was begun experimentally
in August of 1954, -but it since has
been expanded to include 20 fight
er outfits plus the 109th Tactical!
Contjol & Warning Squadron on
far-off Hawaii. .'
From its inception through Oc
tober 31 last year, participating
aircrews have been “scrambled”
19,761 times, have flown 47,880
hours under ADC control and have
made '•44,470 intercetions!
Many are “Dry Runs'"
Maj. Gen. Winston P. Wilson,
chief of the Guard Bureau’s AF
Division, is quick to point out that
many of these interceptions have
been “dry runs” which were made
for training on known aircraft, How
ever, a substantial percentage of
them have been made against sus
picious “friendlies” which wer*
violating the regulation procedures
required of all aircraft penetrating
our Air Defense Identification
Zones.
AH unidentified aircraft. In this
day of super speeds and super
weapons,, must be presume^ hoc.-
tile until their intentions si's defi
nitely established. Under the cir
cumstances, it is obvious that the
Air Guard has relieved the regu
lar AF of “at least that much” of
its responsibilities and his spared
more of its units for the long “night
watch.” »
“We’re very proud of this tacti
cal contribuUon,” Gen. Wilson said,
“but we’re even more pleased with
still another result of the program.
“It provides extremely realistic
training for our fighter crews in
the performance of their assigned
primary mission, air defense, and
it has had a tremendous and ob
vious impact upon ths state of our
unit proficiency.”
Gen. Wilson explaind ttiat par
ticipating pilots — five at a tli/ie
in each detachment — and radar-
observers in those air - alert units
equipped with two - seated inter
ceptors — are not permitted to ex
ceed 59 consecutive days oh ac
tive duty.
‘"This time limit was established
to avoid involvement with veter
ans’ benefit laws, but it has proved
a blessing.
“Because of it, we have had to
rotate our pilots. Within the 20
squadrons now engaged in th^pro-
gram, we have achieved almost
100 per cent air crew participation.
These organizations have thus at-
.tained a combat capability which
has exceeded our most optimistic
expectations.”
The general went on to explain
that “equally obvious, upon some
reflection, is a by-product benefit
we dei'ive from the program. It
provides training for ADC's radar
operators and is- a grimly realistio
rehearsal for the Air Guard of Its
assigned M-day function, and more
