Air Secretary Says
America Has Best
Air Force In World
BINGHAMTON, N.Y., (^—Har
old E. Talbott, summarizing his
first year as secretary of the Air
Force, says America has the best
air force in the world “and it’s
getting better every day.”
Talbott declared Wednesday
the nation’s greatest defense was
its strategic air command—its
heavy bombers. That bombard
ment strength, he said, has “placed
our enemies in a position where
they don’t dare fight us.”
Addressing a dinner in honor
of Inventor Edward A. Link and
in celebration of the 25th anni
versary of the Link-developed
flight simulators and others air
training equipment, Talbott dis
closed that the B-52 eight-jet
heavy bomber—destined to be
come the key strategic air weapon
—can fly more than 6,000 miles
without refueling.
He said there no longer were
security reasons for withholding
this information on the range of
the giant Boeing bomber now in
production at Seattle.
Talbott also hinted at the tre
mendous power of the B-52, which
has remained a closely guarded
secret.

ATMORE, Ala., Iff!—-Nine des

search by a posse with shoot-to
kill instructions.
Heavily-armed lawmen, led by
bloodhounds, concentrated on an
area five miles south of the pri
son and were reported close be
hind the fleeing criminals.
All the desperadoes are long
termers who had been placed in
a special security cell block.
NOTE OF APPRECIATION
Considerable interest has been
manifested in the March of Dimes
Campaign, both among the school
children and the adults.
Characteristic of this year’s
drive was the ready response of
the schoolchildren with their well
filled cards of dimes, due to their
cognizance of the polio situation
and the interest shown by each
teacher in promoting the drive in
her classroom.
Many of the Nome adults showed
their recognition of the gravity
of the polio situation through their
willing contributions.
A total of $759.77 has been con
tributed, with the schoolchildren
donating $196.80 and the balance
of collections amounting to$562.97.
The City of Nome takes this
occasion to thank all participants
for making the 1954 March of
Dimes Campaign the most success
ful of any year. The City of Nome
also thanks Dr. Langsam and his
staff for administering the gamma
globulin and working without
pause to inoculate our children
for their immediate protection.
