SAC Chief Tells Congress Russia May
Have Greater Air Striking Power Now
WASHINGTON, UPi—Gen. Curtis
LeMay’s assertion the Russians in
a few years may have greater
air-atomic striking power than
the United States prompted Sen.
Jackson (D-Wash) to call for “sev
eral billions” more in Air Force
funds.
Jackson is a member of a Sen
ate Armed Services subcommittee
which Monday hear LeMay, chief
of the Strategic Air Command,
testify the Soviets already have
more long range jet bombers than
SAC has, and are producing still
more.
This, LeMay told the senators,
means the Russians “will have
greater striking power than we
will have in the 1958-1960 period
“under our presqnt plans and
programs.”
As of now, the general said,
this country can win “any war
the Soviets may start.” But, he
cautioned, “we are not capable of
winning it without this country
receiving very serious damage.”
LeMay said Russia has developed
“a long range capability that it
did not have five years ago.”
Jackson said in an interview he
believes “it would take several
billions to provide the complete
package that Gen. LeMay testi
fied is necessary.”
“I don’t know of a more com
petent expert in the field of strat
egic air power,” Jackson said of
LeMay.
“No one can speak with equal
authority. And he says we need
more B52s, bases, jet tankers and
skilled professional airmen to
keep Russia deterred.
The new defense budget of
about 35 billion dollars at first
called for about I6V2 billions for
the Air Force. Later this was
boosted by about 400 millions,
with most of the additional re
quest earmarked for increased
and accelerated output of B52
all-jet intercontinental bombers.

Constitution
Consultant Killed
In Plane Crash
VALDEZ, (j'P1 — Dr. Kimbrough
Owen of Louisiana State Univer
sity, one of three persons killed
in a weekend plane crash in
Michigan, was a consultant to the
Alaska Statehood constitutional
convention.
Sen. William Egan, chairman
of the convention, paid tribute to
him, after learning of his death,
as an advisor who won “the re
spect and devotion of all the dele
gates” to the Alaska convention.
Youthful Dr. Owen served
mainly as advisor to the style
and drafting committee during
the closing days of the convention.
Ironically, several persons who
had served with Dr. Owen at the
Alaska convention were awaiting
his arrival at Michigan State Uni
versity when the plane crashed
and burned 12 miles away. One
of them, Egan said, was terri
torial Rep., Thomas Stewart of
Juneau. The men were to attend
the National Conference on Met
ropolitan Area Problems.
