Plan to Increase Air Force Over Four Years
A Defense Department plan outlines a four year program to expand the air force focusing on fighter planes for home defense. A Pentagon spokesman said there will be no cut in the current 48 air groups and there may be a slight year by year increase. The plan aims to bring groups toward Congress’s 58, with President Truman's veto pausing funds. The disclosure also rejects reports of reduced aircraft purchases and asserts at least two billion dollars yearly for new planes.

Meeting of Vets Calls for Defense of G I Insurance Premiums
All eastern Iowa World War II veterans who purchased insurance before their 1940 federal induction are urged to attend a National Guard veterans meeting at the Roosevelt hotel at 2 p.m. Plans will be drafted to resist the Veterans Administration deduction from upcoming G I life insurance dividends for premiums paid by the government under the 1940 relief act. The organizers say thousands of veterans, many National Guard members, believed the government would pay the premiums. Now they face debt to Uncle Sam as policyholders rather than creditors.
