Another step to increase the nation's strategic capability, a proposal by Air Force Chief of Staff Lew Allen Jr., is to radically upgrade 155 of his F-111s. A major part of his plan: extending the fuselages of 66 of the FB-111 fighter-bombers 104 inches and installing the General Electric engines that were designed originally for the canceled B-l bomber.

But all the jovialty and talking does not shift their positions, and it shouldn't. Walter Sullivan piles up votes year after year in large part because his constituents don't want rent control at all.
