Africa Prepares For Royal Tour By STANLEY HAWKINS SALISBURY (Reuters) --South- ern Rhodesia is busy preparing to the last detail for the 16-day visit of Queen Mother Elizabeth and Princess Margaret to the colony in the first half of July. The tour, starting and ending with Comet jet airliner flights be- tween London and Salithury, crowns an historic year for South- ern Rhodesia which in April voted to join Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland in a Central African Federation and now is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Cecil Rhodes. The royal visit, designed pri- marily to open the Rhodes Centen- ary Exhibition at Bulawayo, is the climax" to six months of festival throughout the Rhodesias com- memorating Rhodes.

Today the United States. has stockpiled atomic bombs far more destructive than the bombs that exploded over Hiroshima and Nag- asaki. President Eisenhower said re- [cently security cannot be» pegged to any. given number of planes. As an example he noted that three aircraft with "modern weapons," the atomic bomb, '"'can practically duplicate the destructive power of all the 2,700 planes we unleashed in the great breakout from the Normandy beachhead." This being true, why shouldn't the United States Air Force trim down the size of its planned force in relations. to the increased de- structive power of the atom bomb, rather than insist on an immediate Numbers Argues decision to build up to 143 wings? There is strong Air Force needs. number of planes needed cannot be related to the power of the atomic bomb in this fashion. In open revolt, the air force is urging congress to accept its 143-wing goal rather than wait for the Eisenhower administration to re- view the entire defence field. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, United States Air Force chief of staff, told senators: "Any relationship between the amount of payload that you can carry on a bomber today does not give you anything at all in relation to the number of planes you need." the same number of planes to get atom bombs on a target as it needs to deliver the old-type bombs on a jtarget. He explained this is so be- cause the bomber formations have interlocking fire to protect each other and ensure delivery of the bombs. . However, there are some who are skeptical of the Vandenberg argument. And part of this skeptic- ism can be traced to past air force estimates of needs in manpower and planes. The air force first advocated a goal of 155 Wings in August, 1951, and estimated it would have to have 22,790 planes to equip them. Two months later, it figured the number of planes to equip 143 wings would total 22,700. Thus 'THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, June 25, 1953 29 planning, only 00 planes were eliminated.
