round Fire, Not Migs,
Down Planes
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — (NEA) — Criticism of U, S.
fighter sircraft in Korea, making them out to be in
ferior to the Russian MlG’s, is reminiscent of the
werbal flak thrown out at the start of World War 11.
The criticism then was that the Jap Zero was far
superior to the American P-40.
While the comparisons now are of jets instead of
propeller-driven planes, some of the analogy still
holds.
Just as the Japs stripped down their Zeros of all
armor and heavy equipment to make the fastest
and most maneuverable fighter plane possible, so
the Russians have stripped down their MIG-15, the
latest model to appear in Korean skies,
It has not the range, the fire power, nor the elec
tronic fire control apparatus that are built into U.
S. jet fighters,
Also, American fighter pilots are better trained.
So in straight aerial combat, while the MlG's ap=
pear to have greater speed and maneuverability,
they don’t win a majority of the air-to-air duels.
‘Where the MlG’s are now believed to be particu=-
larly effective is in luring U. S. planes over Com-=
munist territory. When the MlG's race for cover
behind the Yalu, U, S. planes are exposed to Com=
munist ground fire on their return trip south of the
38th parallel. ;
Over 75 percent of the U. S. planes lost in Korea
have been knocked out by Communist ground fire,
This is in large part due to the fact that planes
supporting UN troops in Korea go in at lower levels
to bomb ground targets, strafe Communist tanks,
artillery and ground troops. s
For full conrparison, the enemy’s cost in destroyed
bridges, railroads and other air-to-ground targets
must be added to the cost of its relatively fewer
destroyed planes.
Few Communist planes have ventured over South
Korea to be shot at.
Frem June, 1950, to Janyary 31, 1952, Commun
ists have lost 355 aircraft of all types, plus 102
probably destroyed, and 393 damaged.
From June, 1950, to January 31, 1952, the U. 8.
Air Force has lost 142 jets and 239 propeller driven
planes to enemy ground fire. It has lost only 37 jets
and 15 propeller planes to enemy air action.

McCARTHY AND THE CRANBERRY MERCHANT
Philleo Nash, President Truman’s administrative
assistant in charge of racial and religious minority
gruop problems, inherited a big cranberry business
at Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, some years ago.
Before the war, he made a substantial sum of
money as one of the country’s leading cranberry
tycoons. He still has an interest in the business,
though it is now run by his sister, Jean, who is also
head of the Wisconsin cranberry growers' co-op.
Though this makes Philleo Nash quite a capital
ist, it did not stop Senator Joseph R. McCarthy
from accusing him of having been “in close contact
with the Communist underground in Washington.”
McCarthy also charged that Nash “, . . in the
early forties was attending Communist meetings and
had joined the Commmunist party.”
Anyway, when a reporter started to ask Nash
about his alleged commite connections, the ex
cranberry king replied, “Cranberries are red, aren't
they?”
Nash gave up active control of his cranberry
business and came to Washington at the start of the
war. He wanted to enlist, but couldn’t pass the
physical. ;
He had been educated as an anthropologist, had
taught this science of mankind at Canadian univer
sities, an donce made a valuable study of Indian
affairs in the U. S. northwest.
During the war he served in the Office of War
Information.
From there he weunt to the job of assistant to
David K. Niles, on President Roosevelt's White
House staff. When Niles left, Nash took over his
job of handling minority problems,
What may have irked McCarthy particularly was
that Nash's sister Jean had been one of the 12 lead
ing business people of Wisconsin Rapids who signed
a full page newspaper ad criticizing McCarthy after
his recent speech in that city.
Says Philleo Nash, “I'm no Alger Hiss and they've
got nothing on me. I'nr clean as can be.”

fanciful fear of “spies” and “espionage” is growing

Plan To Stock Machine Tools
Solves Some Defense Problems
The stockpiling of vital strategic materials as a
defense precaution is an accepted part of this
country’s program of preparedness. Now govern=-
ment officials are working on a new plan that seems
to have at least equal merit: the building of a re
serve of tools presses, special furnaces and other
heavy industrial equipment,
Under the plan, a five-member commission with
about $3 billion to spend over a four-year period
would shop around to accumulate this stockpile of
critical machine tools. The equipment purchased
would be stored in warehouses — not installed in
plants. It would be protected against rust and other
deterioration.
According to the Wall Street Journal, which first
disclosed the plan, matters would not end there.
The buying commission would constantly review its
inventory, weeding out obsolete tools and buying
new ones more adapted to the latest weapons.
There are two big argunrents for the program,
The most important is that a tool stockpile, added
to already existing or projected industrial facilities,
would give the United States about 80 percent of
the equipment it would need to fight an all-out
war,
: Should war come, only 20 percent of the nation’s
equipment needs would have to be supplied by
last-minute ordering, These would be mostly the
tools that are subject to lots of changes to fit speci
fications of particular weapons.
Thus industry could concentrate on these emer
gency jobs rather than on turning out large num
bers of the standard tools which are inevitably re
quired in great volume when war production hits
full scale, The bottlenecks which plague a nation
converting to war would be reduced to a minimum.
There's a very close relation between availability
of mrachine tools and top production, of course. And
it takes a good while to reach production peaks
after the tools are in hand.
In World War 11, the nation’s war ouput reached
its highest level one year affer the peak in machine
tool output. This time the machine tool makers ex
pect to hit the top this summer. Actual production
isn't figured to attain the maximum wuntil at least
nine months later. .
With assurances that full production could be
rapidly attained, the defense establishment would
not need to keep so large a number of tanks,
planes and guns on hand in case of war. They
would not have to figure on a long lag before new
war equipment would be available.
This has a double value. It nreans we would not
be saddled with so “much equipment that might
prove obsolete by the time actual combat begins,
And it means that a safe minimum defense could
be had at much lower cost to the taxpayer. For
tools and other facilities would not be as expensive
as a big backlog of tanks, planes and guns. When
war came, he would get brand-new equipment—
fast.
The second argument for the plan is that it
would go far toward solving the basic problenr of
the machine tool industry. As now operated, it is a
feast or famine proposition. It booms in times of
military preparedness, and languishes in normal
peacetime,
If the industry is to be “healthy,” and its health
would seem to be crucial ot the future of any nation
dependent for safety on today’s costly and complex
weapons, then it must have more stability. And the
steady accumulation of a tool stockpile is a sensi
ble means of providing that steadiness.
The admitted risk of loss through obsolescence of
tools in the stockpile appears relatively minor when
set against the huge advantages in safety and eson
omy which the program promises. The plan merits
the fullest study by Congress and all others inter
ested In giving America security without causing
lasting ‘harm to its economi: foundations.
.
Insuring Record
An annual report of the Federal Security Admin
istration lists a figure of more than thirteen billion
dollars as the estinrated cost of illness in 1950, in
cluding both medical care and loss of income. The
figure suggests a rough idea of the size of the task
of attempting to cover this cost by a system of com
pulsory health insurance, as the administration
wants. It can be guessed, on the basis of the British
experience with government-financed medical care,
that the actual cost figure under such a system
might be higher. Medical care, like many other
things, tends to be more expansive and costly under
government direction than wunder private enter
prise. -
The thought of adding such an expenditure to
the present total annual outlay for government ac
tivities is probably mrore dealy to the compulsory
insurance p roposal that the argument of principle
that it would socialize medicine. Yet it is depressing
to know that there are numbers of people who do
not have as much medical attention as they should
because they cannot or will not pay for it, and that
their lack of proper care probably adds to the med
ical problems of the rest of the population through
the spread of contagious diseases. The medical as
sociations still have much wogk to do on this prob
lem.—Cuere (Texas) Record,
Our nation had its greatest influence for good and
also its greatest security during the last century
