U^C ^'^oats Through the Air. . ”
Taken at l/1000th of a second, the above photo is spectacular be
cause every bit of the boat, motor and propeller are clear of the
water. We don’t recommend you try this on your day off, but scenes
like this are not uncommon at outboard boat races throughout the
country. The outboard shown above is an ordinary Mercury “fishin’
motor.” Enthusiasm for racing has grown tremendously as the
thrills and action of boats churning the water at 60 mph has pro
duced some sensational splashes.
Senate Provides $31 Billions To Help
Keep America Ahead Of Russia In
Long-Range Aerial Striking Power
WASHINGTON, UPC-Sen. Byrd^
<D - Va) and Symington <D - Mo)
said Tuesday a $31,382,000,000
defense money bill will help keep
America ahead of Russia in long
range aerial striking power.
The Senate passed the bill 80-0
Monday and sent it back to the
House where a somewhat differ
ent version was approved some
time ago.
Symington and other advocates
of a stronger Air 'Force emerged
with a substantial victory, al
though it did not come about in
the form of actual legislation.
Symington said an Air Force
letter put into the record by Sen.
Chavez (D-NM) and recommend
ing “quantity production’’ of F101
and F104 supersonic jet fighters
fulfilled his demand for a speed
up in that field. Chavez told his '
colleagues more than three billion •
_1_
dollars already was available for
this purpose.
Symington—a former Air Sec
retary in the Truman administra
tion—told the Senate that Russia
has “thousands more” jet fighters
and light bombers than the United
States.
Byrd said in an interview that,
while this might be true, he had
learned as a member of the
Armed Services Committee that
this country has possibly three
times as many long-range craft
as the Russians have, capable of
delivering nuclear bombs.
Despite Symington’s contention
that the Russians may be out
stripping this country in missiles
development, Byrd said he be
lieves the United States certainly
is on a basis of equality” in that
field.

Army Minister
Lucero Restores
Order in Argentine
BUENOS AIRES, Ufl—’W i t h
President Juan Peron keeping to
the background, Army minister
Maj. Gen. Franklin Lucero con
tinued Tuesday to direct the cam
paign to restore full peace to this
nation left tense by revolt.
The balding, square-jawed sup
reme commander, holding the top
role in the post - revolutionary
period, said again in a communi
que that the situation is “steadily
normalizing without any incon
venience.”
(Argentine refugees in Monte
video, Uruguay, believe negotia
tions are now underway in
Buenos Aires to set up a three
man junta—including Peron—to
rule the nation. The other two
members reportedly would be
Lucero and Rear Admiral Alberto
Teisaig, the vice president.)
The first American casualty of
last week’s brief but bloody fight
ing in the capital was reported
Monday night. He was Graham E.
Tune, a Detroit industrial engi
neer employed by the Kaiser
Motor Corp.’s new Argentine sub
sidiary, Company officials found
and identified his body in a city
morgue. They said a bomb appar
ently had dropped near him.
Despite Lucero’s protestations
of returning normalcy, his com
munique for the second successive
day warned the public against
rumors of continuing conflict. As
he had before, Lucero termed
these “completely false.” but ad-,
mitted that they had “increased
considerably.”
The communique reported that
18 planes used by the rebels in
bombing government sites had
been flown back from Uruguay,
where the insurgent pilots fled
for refuge. Fourteen junior of
ficers returned with the planes,
declaring that they had not taken
any voluntary part in that re
bellion.
