CONGRESS
WASHINGTON—There will be a
lot of talk in Congress during the
next several week's about wings.
It will be in connection with the
size of the Air Force and the
amount of money to increase it
which Congress should appropriate
for the new fiscal year that be
| gins July 1.
* This'debate, as in the past, will
| tend to confuse many members of
Congress and taxpayers alike.
There already is argument as
to whether the goal of 143 wings
set by the Truman administra¬
tion for January, 1955, should be
for contour without constraint... choose

reduced to one of 120 wings for
June 30, 1956, as proposed by the
Eisenhower administrations
It might be added that the Air
Force’s size has increased from
87 wings in mid-1951 to 103 at
present.
All of which Igically raises the
question in the non-military mind
of what precisely is a wiug.
To begin with, a wing is the ma¬
jor Air Force combat unit. It is de¬
signed to operate independently
and to be self-supporting.
A wing, the Air Force says, is
composed of four groups—a com¬
bat group plus one group each
for medical care, maintenance of
lirciaft, and air base installations
and operations .
Combat groups contain varying
numbers of aircraft, with the num¬
ber depending on the type of op¬
eration oF mission.
A fighter group contains 75
aircraft. A heavy bomber group
contains 30 aircraft. Other types

Ceiling-high gliding doors bit arc the
homemaker’s answer to ter use of
closet space. They can be installed
easily in apartments, new or old
houses. Underneath the gay wall¬
paper in the doors shown are sturdy,
steady and strong panels of Masonite
Tempered Presdwood. Instead of this
decor, the homemaker may have them
painted, enameled, lacquered or var¬
nished. Gliding doors are the modern
treatment for closets and storage walls.
CRUTCHFIELDS & KINGS
HOLD FAMILY REUNION
A family reunion was held by
the Crutchfield and King families
at Ragan’s Park in Macon on Sun¬
day, May 24.
More than 100 relatives attended
the reunion.*
Those attending from Fort Val
'ey included Mr. and Mrs. Yate
Crutchfield and Tommie; Mr. an,
Mrs. John A. Crutchfield and Bud
dy; Mr. and Mrs. A. L. oJhnson
Mrs. Joe Johnson and Diane; Mr
and Mrs. W. M. Ray and Bobby,
Danny, and Jimmy; Miss Dorothy
Aultman; Mr. and Mrs. Dickie
Ray; Mr. and Mrs. Loon Crutch
field and Charles; and Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Smith and family.
Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Young, Jr.,
from Richmond, Virginia, are vis¬
iting their parents in Fort Valley,
Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Young, Sr.,
and Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Johnson,
Sr.
of combat groups contain numbers
of aircraft varying between those
two figures.
Under basic structure, to which
some exceptions are made, a com¬
bat group contains three squad¬
rons in peace time. Each squad¬
ron contains one-third of the air¬
craft in the group. In time of war
an extra squadron may be added
to certain types of combat groups.
While that is as closely as the
definition of a wing can be pinned
down for the layman, it still is, of
necessity, vague. That is pointed
out to illustrate the difficulty en
countered by most members of
Congress in trying to decide how
many wings there should be.
Thus the debate over 143 versus
1120 j deal wings is heat apt to than generate a good
more light, not to
| mention a considerable amount of
political oratory.
Those in Congress who oppose
the proposed reduction in the num¬
ber of wings contend that it would
reduce our air strength.
They ask how it can be that, as
the Administration claims, less ap- j
propriations for the Air For co can
mean a stronger Air Force.
At least one member of Congress
has demanded that Defense 8ec
rotary Wilson reign for, making
such a claim. A not nor member has
suggested that the cut was dictat¬
ed by the Budget Bureau without
due consideration for what it
would mean in loss of air strength.
Ihe thing to be remembered dur¬
ing this debate is that military
aircraft are not delivered the year
they are orderer. It take? two or
three years, or more, to design,
build and test them.
The Adminstration claims that
143 wings is only an unrealistic
“paper” goal that could not be
met by January, 1955. It says all
of the present wings are not fitted
out in full or adequate combat
strength. By expediting deliveries
of airrraft, Wilson says, the Air
Force can be built to 120 full
strength wings by mid-1955.
Because it feels the 143 wing
goal could not be met anyhow, the
Administration proposes that Con¬
gress permit the Air Force to
draw $5 billion less from the
Treasury during fiscal year 1954
than Mr. Truman recommended.
The Air Force already has $40
billion in Congressional Iy endorsed
checks wljich it can draw on the
Treasury whenever it needs the
money.
When it cashes those checks,
that is spending which affects the
budget which the Adminis
tration hopes to balance. The Ad¬
proposes that Air
force check cashing during fiscal
1954 be hid to $2.3 billio nless than
dr. Truman proposed.
Wilson says that could be done
>y effecting various savings with
>ut reducing actual air combat,
strength. The National Security
Council agrees.
An air-minded Congress, howev¬
may disagree.

Trailer Bed Extension
A ROUND the farm, hauling is a
constant problem. Sometimes
two-wheel auto trailer is the
size, but other times it’s too
The illustration shows a way of
the capacity of a trailer
by constructing a demountable box,
ft 6;
which simply fits on top of the
trailer bed.
Using scrap lumber, form two
rectangular frameworks the size of
the trailer box. Cover the sides
with Masonite quarter-inch Tem¬
pered Presdwood, a tough material
that will stand lots of abuse.
Now nail, as shown, four two
by-fours to the inner framework.
These will then fit into some iron
strapping that should be bolted
into the trailer. Then the trailer
on-a-trailer is complete. When not
needed, it is easily removed and
stored.
