Boeing To Build
8-Jet Stratoforts
In Wichita Also
SEATTLE, Sept. 28—Naming of
Boeing Airplane Company’s Wich
ita (Kansas) division as a second
source for production of the com
pany’s eight-jet B-52 Stratofort
ress heavy bomber was confirmed
today by Harold E. Talbott, sec
retary of the Air Force.
The big, 300,000-pound global
bombers already are in production
at the company’s Seattle plant,
where two prototypes also were
produced.
“Extensive tests with the B-52
have been so successful,” the air
secretary said, “it has been decid
ed that this aircraft is ready for
expanded production. To elimin
ate danger of a single source for
this important aircraft, it is essen
tial that the Wichita plant be
tooled and put into production as
soon as possible.”
Talbott estimated that the cost
of tooling for this acceleration of
deliveries of the Boeing B-52, and
the insurance of a second source
of supply, will cost “in the neigh
borhood of $250,000,000.
Most details of the big, eight-jet
bomber remain on the secret list.
The Department of Defense has
revealed the following specifica
tions of the new Stratofortress,
however: \
Wing span, 185 ft.; Length, 153
ft.; height, 48 ft.; gross weight,
more than 300,000 pounds; power,
eight Pratt & Whitney J-57 tur
bojets.
Migrating Small Birds
Killed In Collisions With
Tall Boston Building
BOSTON, (£) — Hundreds of
small birds migrating south of
Canada have been killed in col
lisions with Boston’s taller build
ings.
“Birds for the most part can
go much higher than any of the
buildings in Boston.” Robert L.
Grayce, staff lecturer of the
Massachusetts Audobon Society
said, “but they seemed to have
difficulty dodging the John Han
cock building.”
That structure, Boston’s tallest,
has claimed an average of 30 to
40 birds a week since they began
migrating.
The birds are mostly warblers
and thrushes.

“St. Louis Blues” “Sends”
Opera Star Helen Traubel
WASHINGTON, (ff) — Helen
Traubel says “St. Louis Blues”
sends her as much as the operatic
roles she won’t be singing with
the Met this year.
Or, more precisely, that she re
gards Wm. C. Handy’s best-known
tune as the artistic equal of Rich
ard Wagner’s Brunnhilde and
Isolde.
Miss Traubel is in Washington
for a two week’s engagement in
the Hotel Statler’s Embassy room.
Thursday she held a news con
ference which several times erupt-1
ed into noisy exchanges between
reporters and her husband-man
ager, Harry Bass.
The Metropolitan Opera’s gen
eral manager, Rudolph Bing,
wrote Miss Traubel last week ask
ing that she not sing in night
spots around New York during
the Met season. Miss Traubel re
turned, unsigned the contract
which Bing proferred.

Labor Racketeer Visited
In Sing Sing By Union
And Government Officials
ALBANY, N.Y., UP)— Political
and labor circles in New York and
New Jersey reverberated Saturday
to echoes of an official disclosure
that government and union offi
cials visited labor racketeer Jo
seph S. (Joey) Fay in prison.
The bombshell came Friday in
the form of a list of Fay’s visitors
at Sing Sing Prison released by
the New York State Department
of Correction. Among the more
than 80 names was that of Arthur
H. Wicks, acting lieutenant gov
ernor of New York.
The disclosure prompted a de
mand from Republican Governor
Thomas E. Dewey for a “complete
and satisfactory explanation.”
Wicks countered with a state
ment that his calls on Fay in Sing
Sing Prison were “a public service
... to avoid labor troubles” in his
state senatorial district. He said
“I personally resent any implica
tion of wrongdoing on my part.”
Fay, former vice president of
the AFL International Operating
Engineers Union, was convicted in
1945 of extortion and attempting
to extort $368,000 from the Dela
ware aqueduct project. The aque
duct is part of the New York City
water system.
