Gen. J. Lawton Collins told Congress that bombers could pulverize Russia in a war, but U S troops would be needed to prevent swift Soviet conquest of Europe. Adm.

The Air Force indefinitely suspended its plan to recall about 80,000 voluntary reserve officers and enlisted men to active duty. The change was made possible by high voluntary enlistments and re enlistments, a surprise decision coming only a month after the recall program was announced.
The Air Force cancels all notices to about 18 000 enlisted men and will release those reported after processing. About 2 000 enlisted specialists in critical jobs are exempt. Voluntary reserve officers recalled to active duty will stay on but further calls are suspended. The action covers volunteer reserve airmen and officers involuntarily called to duty, not organized reserve personnel. Reservists may choose to remain if they meet requirements. The Air Force’s volunteer reserve roughly equals inactive reserve in other services. The Stockton and Darlington rail line in England was the world’s first public railway, opened September 27, 1825.
