Russians Without Any Defence Against B-36
Washington, March 13.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff had been handed a United States Air Force finding that Russia has no adequate defence against the B-36 super- bomber.
Furthermore, she may not have a defence for
several years.
The finding is based on testsjan nititure barrier which renks under combat conditions and it in Importance with the so-called underscored the Air Secretary's sonte speed barrier. Two things happen to 10dny's fighters at high description of the B-36 as

Mystery Fires In France
Parle, March 13,
A 45,000-velt transformer explodad today at Berutar, near Life, Northern France, causing France's second pow. er station fire in a week.
The flames spread rapidly to several 15,000-volt trans formare and firemen fought for hours to control the blaze, which caused damage cutimated at about £10,000. The area was without power today.
On Tucoday night, the out- buildings of France's largest hydro-electric plant at Gonia- alat, on the Rhone, were ex- tensively damaged by a fire of unknown origin.-Reuter.

A new Canadian plan to end the political deadlock in the Indonesian case is developing al-anong UN Security Council

The text of the proposed treaty will be made public on Friday. That may be the signal for a now outburst of Russian attacks. Diplomats in Washington say the Russlaus will leave no trick untried to try to defeat the Al- llance or splib off one or more nations.
