THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1948 PAGE FOURTEEN US Air Force Experiments With B29s Washington, Nov. 22--(AP)--The United States Air Force is trying to stretch the global reach of both the present workhorses of its bomber force, the B-29 Superfor- tress, and the giant new B-36. This was disclosed in two develop- ents today: mes oY iat fleets of flying "tankers" are planned for six of the groups of strategic bombers oper- ated by the Air Force. These con- verted B-29s will be used to refuel the Superfortress bombers along their route to a target, thus ex- tending their range. 2. Tests of a B-36 with new en- gines of more power and presum- ably greater fuel economy to prov- ide more speed and range. The Air Force has high hopes for the aerial refueling system. Air Secretary W. Stuart.Symington told a Congressional committee last spring that with such a system B-29s could bomb any part of Rus- sia from bases in Alaska or La- brador. Techniques and equipment dev- eloped in Air Force experiements for more than a year are believed to hav evolved a system whereby a Superfortress could be filled with virtually a full load of gasoline in 15 minutes while flying along the course ta a distant target. It was learned taht current plans contemplate equipping six groups of being B-29s for aerial refueling. In doing this, the size of the groups will be expanded not only by ad- ding the tanker B-29s but by put- ting more combat bombers in each group. The Air Force is described as proposing to keep the composition of a B-29 group at three squadrons, but each squadron would have 15 instead of 10 bombers. The total number of bombers and tankers in a group would be 65 instead of the current 30 bombers only. Experts Discuss Russian Wheat Winnipeg, Nov. 22--(CP)--Cana- dian exper re intased today that Russia's cla of experiments with a branched wheat ¢apable of pro- ducing five times as much as stan- dard varieties sounded like "extra- vagant talk." Dr. P. J. Olson of the plant sci- ence department at the University of Manitoba said he doubted "very much, pudging from past experi- ence, that they have been able to grow a wheat of the branched var- jety that would yield five times as much as our standard varieties." The "mere fact" that it is a branched variety "doesn't necessar- ily mean that you can multifly, the contents as compared to that of "single-headed wheat," Dr. Olson said. He added that this was not the first time that claims had been made of the discovery of branched wheat with further value than other brands. Code Amendment Adds To Costs Toronto, Nov. 22 -- (OP) -- A change in the Criminal Code which becomes effective next Oct. 1 was discussed at a week-end meeting of the executive board of the Crown Attorneys' Association of Ontario.
