S. weapon, capable of carrying the atomic bomb to any area of the world. This is the second heavy Jet bomber which haa reached the field-test stage in production and it will begin taxi testa in another week or two. Publicity about these two all-jet heavy bombera should not mislead the -American public. The Air Force has just one YB-0 and only two V-62's -the other all-jet bomber.' Because these war planes are giants of com-, plexity, a period , of yeans not months i required to put them into mass -production. Thus, after one or both of these heavies have been ap proved for fuU production, it will be several years before they are rolling off assembly lines in any number. These two planes are expected, nevertheless, t to give the United States the most modern heavy bomb er fleet in the world, eventually, and supposedly represent the latest devel opment, and the most advanced pro duction, in the heavy all-jet bomb er line. ' ' NEWS BLACKOUT "When news is suppressed, all the newspapers lost is a story. But the people lose touch with and control of their government." These are the words of James S. iPjtpe, executive edi tor jvf tihA TjuiimHll VjmiAo JfAmvnal and the Louisville Times, and chair man of the American Society of Newspaper Editors' committee . on - freedom. Many government officials,' includ ing those on the local state, and nat ional level, have effected a censor ship through the use of dosed meet ings; buried records, and "no com ments." , i , . Undemocratic procedures of this type are a threat to freedom in Ameri ca. . And news blackouts will con tinue until they are challenged by public indignation. ' AN ELECTRIC WRIST WATCH Within a year, it is expected that one United States watch manufactur er will have on the market a man's wrist watch run, by a small electric motor powered by a tiny battery only half an inch long. . The watch has no tick, no main- spring, , and no winding mechanism and is expected to keep almost per fect time. Incidentally, it takes only 1100,000 of a waftt to run "the watch. The battery will run the watch for over a. year and can "be replaced at a cost at about 5 aentaU. CUT IN TEE DEFENSE APPROPRIATION , . - The House Appropriations Coramit tee cut four billion dollars from a proposed 150,000,000,000 defense ap propriation before sending the bill to lth House flnnr. iWiWnVMumlifit.lw Curl Vinson, who is Chairman of the House Armed Services, Committee, accepted the House Appropriations Committee cut, but said any further cut would endanger the security of the country. Vinson said reductions made by the ADDroDriationa stoud took the "fat" out nt hudrf. - ramiAnta Thft folk nf trimming $4,000,000,000 off the huge aerense appropriation request was a complicated task which has engaged the time of the Appropriations Com mittee rim& the first of the year. That Committee gave each House member an eighltyipage booklet of "Explanatory Notes," which dealt with almost every item in the bill, af ter it had voted the $4,000,000,000 re duction. 'While final ConflTeaairaml action on the defense appropriation! bill has not been. taken in Congress it is nevertheless encouraging when' the Chairman of the Armed Services . 1ftmM:W... 1 At. A . .. i wumukiOT Hu we Appropriations Committee agree on an economy the size of the $4,000,000,000 effort re cently .made.- ,. ' y. If similar sentiment is found on the Senate side, where action fa not expected for some time, the Ameri can taxpayer is likely to be spared some of the sacrifices once thought to be necessary. . AN INTERESTING ' PROPOSAL Senator John L. McClellan, Demo crat of Arkansas, recently proposed that a Congressional watchdog com mittee be set up to .check on budget recommendations' and requests. The veteran Senator claims that the pro posed - eighteen-member committee would save $100 for every dollar it would spend. He points out that the Appropri ations Committee of the Senate now has only sixteen staff members to handle an $85,000,000,000 budget, and that they are, not able to Inquire into proposed expenditures as received and worked out by the Executive Branch's Budget Bureau. .," While there is some opposition to Senator Mcdellan's proposal one of the opponents being Senator Kenneth iMcKellar, of Tennessee, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, the suggestion seems to be aimed in the right direction toward Govern ment economy. When one realizes that these two appoopationa commit tees in Cor.yrcrs have only small staffs and that tieir abiXty to cheek into the budget requests: and con clusions is very limited at best, the merits of Senator Mcdellan's pro posal seem considerable. The pro posal would accomplish one .of ' the goals of the 1946 Reorganization Act," which remains unaccomplished today. KEFAUVER AND VICTORIES Senator Paul Douglas, of Illinois, recently made an interesting, com ment concerning the chances of the current crop of Presidential aspirants. Seemingly speaking to Democrats, the Illinois Senator said, "The people are beginning to speak in unmistakable terms and the politicians and the king makers would do well to listen." -Mr. Douglas's statement has arous ed some speculation as to exactly what the words he uttered mean. His statement was made soon after Sena tor Estes Kefauver defeated Senator Robert Kerr in the Nebraska primary. Kefauver's victory in that ' primary gave him an unbroken string of vic tories in the primaries which he has entered this year. Senator? Douglas' words, whether they are good or bad advice, seem, to comprise a warning to Democratic politicians, who sometimes ignore candidates' popular appeal. Unques tionably, Senator Kefauver has shown great popular appeal in all sections of the country and whether or not he fa the best candidate for the Dem ocratic Party, this fact cannot be en tirely ignored. FLYING CARS Two flying automobiles recently flew from Connecticut to New York, the drivers shedding the wings within four minutes and driving into New York's busiest streets. As the two contraptions drove down the streets of New York, many by-standers gasp ed in amazement. The vehicle cruises in the air at about 110 to 125 miles an hour and can climb to 12,000 feet It produces about 165 horsepower in flight but only 45 horsepower on the ground. Nevertheless, it is useful and efficient as a ground or air transportation ve hicle. The development of jet engines makes possible the development of a practical and economical air-land trav el vehicle. The two latest "airphib ians" may herald an era of such craft, which is surely only a few years ahead, and which may revolutionize our private transportation industry.
