U S Now Has 6 500 Planes In Far East
General Patridge, new Far East Air Force commander, said Communist forces may total 6,500 planes in the region, with U S planes around 2,400. He noted 24 hour alert status and hinted at future U S aid to Japan, while avoiding specifics on policy shifts or hot pursuit tactics. Patridge took command March 26 after serving as FEAF deputy chief of staff for operations. He did not specify interception or territorial limits, and suggested Japan would receive American planes under mutual security terms. Social details on some Pacific air actions were provided alongside a Bay Meadows horse event entry list for a Matron Handicap.
