Army Building Air Fleet
of 2,200 Planes To Help
Infantry in Combat Zones
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The
Army is building a 2,200-plane
air fleet of its own to help foot
soldiers in combat zones.
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army
chief of staff said yesterday about
half the aircraft would be cargo
type helicopters and the other
half light, fixed-wing planes with
an empty weight of not over 5,000
pounds.
In. disclosing a “memorandum
of understanding” with the Air
Force outlining the Army air act
ivities, Collins said Air Force
functions are not being dupli
cated.
“There is no such thing, as an
Army 'Air Corps’,” he said.
“These planes and men will be
an integral part of- the infantry.”
Present television signals, .lirp
ited by the curvature of the earth,
usually are limited to1 about 60
miles. *» *'■
Kaiser - Frazer Denies
Inefficient Manufacture
Of Planes for Air Force
WASHINGTON, (A*)—The Kai
ser-Frazer Corporation denies ac
cusations by Sen. Bridges (R-NH)
that its aircraft operation at Wil
low Run, Mich., was inefficient
and that the Air Force was paying
too much for Kaiser-built planes.
In an open letter to Bridges,
! President Edgar F. Kaiser of the
i corporation said Friday the co’m
; pany “is ready and willing to
I submit any and all facts with
regard to our production perfor
mance on the defense program.”
Bridges had suggested a Senate
I investigation into' what he said
was an Air Force contract to pay
K-F $1,200,000 to build each of
1,959 cargo planes like those he
said another firm had built for
$260,000 each.
Kaiser accused Bridges of mak
ing a “comparison of costs that
are not in any respect compar
able.” Kaiser said he believes it
“imperative” that the “correct
facts” be presented before Con
gress.

U.S. Pays for Book
Written by Commie
For West Germans
BONN, Germany, (/P) — Cha
grined U.S. officials in Germany
admitted Friday night they paid
200,000 marks ($47,000) toward
a new history textbook and dis
tributed 1,100 copies before they
discovered its author was a Com
munist who included Red propa
ganda in his book.
The Red - slanted pages were
discovered by a German govern
ment employe who read the book
and then wired American author
ities: “What’s going on here?”
That started the U.S. high com
missioner’s office checking.
It found, officials admitted, that
Historian Arno Peters, a 36-year
old German - born ex - journalist,
was a Communist Party member
and had “injected Communism
into every field of world history.”
The commission impounded 9,200
copies received from the printers.
These included 1,100 copies which
already had gone out to Ameri
can - sponsored public reading
rooms throughout West Germany.
Peters, who contracted with the
U.S. officials to write the book,
also had run off a large printing
of his own for private sale.
The Rhineland-Palatinate state
ministry of culture Friday night
cautioned all schools in the state
against circulating the* history.
