Okinawa Airmen Doubt Value
Of U. S. Bombing North of Yalu
By William Jorden
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
OKINAWA, May 17.—Should
the United Nations strike at Com
munist bases in Manchuria?
Many Air Force men at the big
bomoer base here—the men who
would do the job—are not con
vinced it’s a good idea.
They are not sure the benefits
of any such move would outweigh
the drawbacks.
Here is the way many said they
see the problem:
If United States bombers were
assigned to hit Red targets north
of the Yalu River border of Korea,
they could do serious damage to
the Communists’ war effort.
Many enemy air bases could be
put out of operation. Much of the
Communist supply network feed
ing Red field armies could be dis
rupted. Communist supply points
and production centers in Man
churia could be destroyed. Troop
movements far behind the front
could be harassed and slowed.
Air Force men agree such at
tacks would be of tremendous help
to the U. N. armies fighting on the
ground in Korea. It would cer
Itainly make the 8th Army’s job of
killing Communist soldiers a good
deal easier.
j If that were the whole story,
i Air Force men say. there would
be no doubt about the military
advantages of bombing Manchu
rian bases. But there is another
side to the purely military prob
lem of any venture north of the
Yalu by Allied air power.
No Fighter Escort.
The air experts say that if B-29s
flew to Red target areas very much
north of Antung, Manchuria, at
the mouth of the Yalu, they would
have to travel wtihout fighter es
cort. Without jets flying cover,
the Air Force would expect heavy
losses of superforts. Communist
pilots have shown conclusively
that Red MIG-15 jets can krtock
down the big bombers even with
friendly air cover in the sky.
Such losses of big bombers could
not quickly nor easily be replaced,
they say. The result would be a
sharp drop in Allied air power.
In their initial strikes, United
States planes could do serious
damage to the enemy's war effort.
It is at least doubtful whether the
Air Force could long maintain that
level of effectiveness—not if they
suffered the losses they say could
be expected.
At present, the Communists
are using their air effort over
North Korea in what looks like
an effective training program for
Iai v r\ i 1 a! r TTntf a^I Cl a t aa a<«
men who have met enemy jets
say they have noticed a big dif
ference from day to day, from
plane to plane, in the skill of
Communist fighters.
Serious Implications Seen.
The Air Force is quick to agree
that bombing Manchuria would
have serious implications. The
big question is: Would the Com
munists retaliate with their own
bombers on American installa
tions in Japan and Okinawa?
Would bombing Manchuria mean
the beginning of World War III?
The airmen say that is a ques
tion for higher authority. But
just on the military merits, many
think the present “ground rules”
that make Manchuria immune
from Allied air strikes may actu
ally operate in the Allies’ favor.
While the discussion goes on
the United States is building a
huge air base here that will bring
all East Asia within striking dis
tance of mighty B-36 bombers.
America's most potent strategic
air weapon.

gram is rapidly transforming Ka
dena air field into one of the
strongest outposts of American
power in the Orient. Air Force
officers disclosed that when com
plete Kadena can easily handle
the B-36.
To Discourage Any Move.
Okinawa's role is to discourage
any aggressive move by the Com
munists, or to help check such a
move if and when it comes.
Air Forces officers disclosed
that, in addition to the new
building program at Kadena air
base, about $42,000,000 is being
spent to expand the fighter base
at Naga.
Three other fields are being
maintained as standby strips. The
five air fields are known as the
Kadena complex.
Of major importance is the
fact that from Okinawa big
bombers can range over an area
including Eastern Siberia, Man
churia, all China and Southeast
Asia as far as India.
Maj. Gen. Ralph Stearley, com
imander of the United States 20th
Air Force based here, regards
uainawa as me Key 10 me pa
cific.”
Planes based on Japan's north
ern islands could cover Northeast
Asia, and those from the Philip
pines are within striking distance
of Southeast Asia — but only
bombers based on Okinawa could
hit both regions.
B-29 Superforts based here
have been striking at the Reds
in North Korea since the early
months of the Korean war.

Weber, Numbers Man,
Convicted of Lying to
Kefauver Committee
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 17.—Numbers;
racketeer Louis Weber was con
victed last night of lying to the
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee about his relations with
James J. Moran, pal of fofmer
Mayor William O’Dwyer.
Weber, 51-year-old native of
Puerto Rico, will be sentenced on
the perjury conviction in Federal
Court tomorrow.
He can get up to five years in
prison and a $2,000 fine — the
maximum imposed on Moran on
the same charge.
The two perjury trials were the
first prosecutions growing out of
the Senate Committee’s sensa
tional televised hearings here.
Differ on Visits.
The cases hinged on the number
of times Weber visited Moran at
his office when Moran was first
deputy fire commissioner from 1
1946 to 1950.
Moran swore to the committee
that there were no more than six
visits. Weber testified he didn't1
even know Moran. Government^
witnesses told of more than 100
visits.
Moran is appealing and free in
$25,000 bail. Weber, free in $20,000
bail, also plans to appeal.
Weber was all smiles when the
jury of ten men and two women
returned the verdict after deli
berating about five hours. He
thanked Judge Charles A. Dewey,
the jurors and court attendants
for a fair trial and courtesies.
“Nothing Bothers Me.”
“Nothing bothers me from sleep
ing nights,” he said as he left the :
court house.
Judge Dewey, who sentenced !
Moran last Friday, will impose
sentence on Weber.
Neither Moran nor Weber took
the stand and no defense wit
nesses were called. The first trial
took only four days, and the
second only three.

Robinson Kisses Mme. Auriol,
All in Interest of Cancer Study
By th« Associated Press
PARIS, May 17.—France's First
Lady, Mme. Vincent Auriol, got
four kisses on the cheeks from
Negro Middleweight Champion
Sugar Ray Robinson yesterday, all
in the interests of cancer re
search.
The bussing of the wife of
France's President was part of a
presentation by the Detroit fight
er of a $10,000 check for the
French cancer campaign from the
American Damon Runyon Cancer
Fund.
Robinson is delivering a series
of such donations from the Run
yon Fund in Europe. He also
will donate to the French cam
paign his share of the purse of his
fight next Monday night with
Kid Marcel, French welterweight
champion.
As half a hundred French no
tables gathered in a gilded salon
near the Arch of Triumph ap
plauded, Robinson made a brief
speech in French and handed over
the check.
After the president of the French
fund, Justin Godart, replied with
more French and a lot of praise
for Sugar Ray, the fighter told the
crowd: “Hey, now I get to kiss
Missus President!”
Mme. Auriol laughed and
blushed as he did just that. When
photographers asked for a repeat,
she and Robinson smilingly
obliged.
