Washington Feb. 22. General Carl Spaatz, the former Air Force Chief of Staff, told Congress to- day that the United States should start at once to build а 250-group Air Force-more than twice the present goal.
The present Air Force goal

Churchill Protests
Against Royal Navy Taking A Back Seat
London, Feb. 22.
Mr Winston Churchill, the leader of the Conservative Opposition, protested in the House of Commons today over the choice of an American Admiral as the Supreme Com- mander of the Atlantic Pact sea forces.
The Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, was questioned for about 20 minútes after announcing that an American had been given the post. He did not disclose his identity but it is believed that the man chosen is Admiral William Fechteler, at present Commander of the United States Atlantic Fleet.
Mr Attlee stated that a formal announcement was expected to be made shortly.
Mr Churchill, who was First Lord of the Admiralty in World War I and World War II, immediately jumped up and amidst Conservative cheers, demanded 'Was there not a British admiral capable of discharging these functions?"
Mr Attice replied that no power in the Atlantic Pact Or- ganisation had an absolute right to dictate views en any appoint. ment,
As the Conservatives smiɲed at him with interruptions and questions, the Prime Minister General Spaali testified instill that the general opinion the Senate hearing on the was that this was
