USSR Air Reserves
Outnumbers U.S.
WASHINGTON, UP) — Russia
has about a million air force re
servists it could call upon in case
of a war. The United States has
300,000.
This was reported Thursday by
the U. S. Air Force in the “Air
Reservist,” official Air Force
monthly magazine. The Air Force
said the article is the first known
attempt at rounding up Russia’s
air force reserve’s strength and
program.
The article left many holes in
the complete picture because, the
AF said, it was impossible to
get all the information needed.
But, it does indicate what the
U.S. might be up against in case
of a war with Russia.
The million-man reserve organ
ization would supplement the reg
ular Russian air force in case of
war. How many aircraft these re
serves would put in the sky the
AF couldn’t say.
The Russians said in March,
1951, they had 18,000 combat
planes with a big enough regular
air force to fly them. The total
manpower of the Reds regular
air force is not publicly known.
The United States now has a
970,000-man air force with about
20,000 combat planes.

Stalin Says Wars
Between Capitalist
Nations Inevitable
MOSCOW, (£*)—Prime Minister
Stalin said Thursday a war be
tween capitalistic countries is
more probable than a war be
tween capitalistic and socialistic
<a.e., Communist) countries.
Stalin said wars between the
capitalistic nations of the world
are inevitable.
The Soviet leader made these
statements in a 50-page article
in the Communist Party magazine
“Bolshevik” on the eve of the
Communist Party congress, open
ing here next Sunday.
In expressing his views, Stalin
said he was correcting the mis
takes of other Communists who
believed there was little likeli
hood o'f conflicts between capital
istic countries because the United
States, as they stated it, had sub
jected them to satellite positions.
- The article by Stalin bore the
title “Economic Problems of So
cialism in the USSR.” The title
is in line with the party view that
the Soviet Union is in a socialist
state of development, aiming to
ward the ultimate goal of com
munism.
