When President Eisenhower two years ago first proposed "open skies" over Europe and the U.S. so that each great power could keep aerial watch against surprise attack from the other, Pravda denounced the idea as "spying," and Premier Bulganin tried to laugh it down as daft. Since then, the ratio of missile threat has turned against Moscow. The U.S., with NATO and other partners bordering close, can sight in with shorter-range missiles on the Soviet Union while the U.S. still lies beyond the reach of any but intercontinental missiles. Last week, in their first major move...
...results of the London Conference cannot be meaningful, however, unless the free world can negotiate similar agreements with Mao Tse-Tung. Without aerial inspection plans for Red China, the United States cannot be free of the fear of surprise attack. Even though Secretary Dulles does not officially recognize the existence of Mao's government, he is certainly aware that the Chinese mainland constitutes an excellent location for missile and airbase sites. Even if Stassen could obtain open skies agreements from the Soviet Union and all its Eastern European satellites, his job would not be complete...
...regard paid to Arthur Radford further symbolizes a new military appreciation in this new military age for the quiet man in the big picture who sits and thinks and thereby saves lives and deters wars. Once Arthur Radford was one of the hottest pilots in the Navy, leading an aerial stunt team called the High. Hatters, even standing in as stuntman for Clark Gable in the epic Hell Divers.

They had little effect on Castro's hit-and-run platoons. A fortnight ago the strongman was forced to give up the waiting game and mount a major offensive. Commandeering civilian planes, he airlifted 1,100 men to ominous with no-nonsense orders to go in and get Castro's men. Meanwhile, terrorists in other parts of the country are being dealt with ruthlessly-when they are found. In Havana last week, two unexplained bodies turned...
...budget calls for a $4.6 billion expenditure to buy 1,515 new aircraft-some 1,000 fewer than originally intended, and the lowest number since 1954. Of the total, more than 50% will go for the eight-jet Boeing B-52 bomber and its smaller aerial nursemaid, Boeing's KC-135 jet tanker. All told, the Air Force will order 480 B-52s and KC-135s (cost: $6,000,000 and $4,500,000 apiece respectively), leaving only $2.1 billion for all other planes...
