Continued From Page One on Atomic Warfare and Air Forces
Gen Carl Spaatz warned the Senate group that atomic warfare heightens the need for a strong air force in being.

Rep Sparkman pressed for a one year continuation but suggested a December 31 cutoff. Most members favor tying any extension to a service pay raise.
