LeMay Predicts Soviet Attack Readiness in 1959
Washington general Curti LeMay, head of the U S Strategic Air Command, testified that by 1958 Russia could match U S bomber totals and might strike with a knockout blow in 1959 if surprise and errors favored them. He warned of need for more technicians, bases, jet tankers, and long range bombers. Senator Malone urged 2 000 B 52 type jets, 5 000 to 10 000 fighters, atomic submarines, radar networks, and missile bases to deter others and allow troop withdrawal from overseas.

Rogan Orders Cut 1 Fire Insurance Across Wisconsin
Wisconsin state officials ordered 297 fire insurance firms to raise reductions beyond the 4.62 per cent average proposed last fall by the Fire Insurance Rating Bureau. Governor Rogan said experts advised a 17 per cent cut and set a July 10 deadline for new rate schedules or appeals to the courts. The move followed former Commissioner Van De Zande resigning after ill health and dying four days later. Rogan had suspended his rate schedule due to concerns it would raise customer costs by about $928,000 annually due to classification variances.
