Further, Russia is developing techniques of long-range air Vandenberg told the hous military appropriations subcommittee on July 12, right after his return from a European trip.

Details Withheld Portions of testimony were made public Wednesday by the subcommittee which has been holding hearings on the 1952 budget. But Chairman Maron (D-Tex.) declined, for to lease a detailed outline of Russian strength given by Secretary of the Air Force Linletter earlier in the hearings. The U.S. air force, under its 1952 budget, proposed to spend $4,957,000,000 to finish financing 3,052 planes now on order and to place orders for 5,604 new ones. It seeks to spend nearly as much spare parts.

Another witness before the subcommittee, Vice Adm. John H. Cassidy, testified that the navy wants $4,497,869 for the next big phase of its aviation buildup. Cassidy is head of the naval air force. Vandenberg bluntly told the subcommittee choice we face is plain enough; either we match him (Russia) in the air or we must reconcile ourselves to his spreading air dominance over the The subcommittee is considering the air force's 1952 budget request of four times the amount sought in the 1950 budget.

The ministry is in charge of both atomic and the procurement of military weapons. Asked whether any bombs have been completed, the spokesman j.said: I tell you if I did The London Daily Telegrapli reported a British test bomb will be exploded experimentally at the huge Woomera rockot range in the central Australian desert. ANNOUNCEMENT PROMISED The supply ministry declined to confirm this report.

The spokesman said if any such test is made, it will be announced to the house of commons ahead of time by Prime Minister Attlee. Asked whether the British bomb might be tested on an American range, the spokesman said present United States law forbids it. He noted, however, that changes in the atomic energy act have been recommended to permit closer British and American cooperation in atomic development. Australian officials also maintained secrecy about any atomic test explosions at Woomera. Reports from Sydney quoted Supply Minister Oliver Beale as saying "I know nothing about Beale is in charge of the Woomera range.

The question of making atomic bombs has long been hot potato in British politics. Winston Churchill repeatedly has urged the labor government to make its own bomba. The conservative leader has depictd the American stockpile of as the greatest deterrent to Russian aggression. Lord Portal, wartime chief of the royal air force, quit last month as controller of the atomic program. Lord Cherwell, wartime scientific adviser to Churchill, told the house of lords that Portal quit because atomic program had been slowed to pace by red tape.
