(UP)-- Muster aboard the cruiser Pittsburgh today appeared to verify that all of some 70 sailors survived when a liberty launch sank in Hampton Roads. Two vessels picked up 63 sailors, after the near tragedy yesterday, it was reported. Others of the estimated 65 men from the Pittsburgh and tile launch's crew of five wore believed rescued by other craft.

Six sailors were treated at the naval base dispensary here, one for a broken nose and the rest for exposure. None was believed to be in danger. The launch was hauling the sailors back to their ship, from a fveekend liberty. When it reached the side of the cruiser; a Navy spokesman said, it was ordered to return to the fleet landing due to heavy seas which made it impossible for the sailors to board the Pittsburgh at its Chesapeake Bay anchorage. The launch sank some 500 yards from a Navy pier.

Aircraft Catalogue Reports Soviet Has Potent Bombers LONDON (UP)--A semi-official aircraft catalogue reported today that. Rivuaia has developed long range fxunbers capable of carrying atomic bombs to most American cities and rocket driven fighters designed to strike down counter attacking U.S. planes. The latest edition of "Jane's All the World's Aircraft" said aJso that the Russians now have a night fighter version of the MJG15 jet which is "rather faster" than the early models consistently bested by U.S. Sabre jets over Korea.

The new Jane's reported for the first time Russia's development of light jet bombers of the type recently reported over Red "Korea. No information on the combat performance of these planes is available. Estimated Production The aircraft publication estimated Soviet production of planes of all types at about 20,000 a year. Jane's estimates stimulated considerable conversation at the Atlantic pact meeting in Paris, but military experts (here accepted them calmly. They pointed out that Jane's figures on the performance of the lew Russian bomber show it to be far inferior to the U.S.

B47 or 352 bombers. As for rocket fighters, they said. Germany pioneered them without grea't success during the last war. U.S. Still Ahead Allied military men said Western authorities had the information published today long before appeared in Jane's, and already have adjusted their planning ac- cordingly.

They citej Adm. Arthur W. Radford's declaration yesterday that the United States will maintain overwhelming atomic air supremacy as a sample of the revisions of Western strategy inspired by the growing Russian threat. Jane's said Russia is now producing a bomber called the TUG- 75. powered by four turboprop engines, combining the pull of propellers with the thrust of jets, giving it a range of 7850 miles and a top speed of 415 MPH.

(According to these figures, the TUG75 is smaller and slower than the U.S. B36, and has nearly 2500 miles less range than the giant American bomber, which is rated for 10,000 'Reds Accused of Enslaving POWs SEOUL, Korea OB The Com- muilibls have iuiced mule than 5000 South Korean war prisoners into slave labor although they want to return home, two escaped prisoners charged today. The war prisoners have rioted several times, demanding that they be returned to South Korea but the Reds ignored their the fugitives said. The slave laborers, who should have been repatriated at the end of the, war, are being used to build coastal fortresses and to repair bombed out railroads in North Korea.

The Gold Spike officially "completed" the first transcontinental railroad in 1869.

But except for the right of way (and even some of that has changed) there's precious little left of the old Central Pacific, our parent Company. Enough new track to span America Last year, for instance, we laid 1,732,859 new railroad ties and put down almost 64,000 tons of new rail--not to add new mileage, but just to maintain the mileage we had. In the men years since the war, we've put down enough new track to span the continent from New York to San Francisco. Last year the maintenance of our 13,300 miles of lines cost us over $92,000,000. A new diesel unit every two days But maintenance is only part of the job.

Since the war, $646,000,000 has been invested in new equipment and other improvements for Southern Pacific. One result: a dieselization program that has given S. P. an average of about one new diesel unit every tivo days since World War If ended. These vast maintenance and improvement programs are part of S.

continuing efforts to provide the Golden Empire (see map) with the finest freight and passenger service in America. PAUIIC CUUMNV, U. J. fitstdtnl, SAN HUN.
