Vandenberg Warns U.S. Must Match Soviet Air Power
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg told a House subcommittee the United States must match Russia in air strength or accept Soviet air dominance. He said the USSR already has an air force larger and stronger with long-range power, after returning from Europe. The testimony comes as the Air Force seeks 1952 funding near 20 billion dollars for aircraft, spare parts, and procurement, with the Navy planning a major aviation buildup as well.

Fechteler Named Allied North Atlantic Commander Eyeing Norway
Fechteler, born in San Rafael, California, emerged as the American admiral chosen to head Allied forces in the North Atlantic under the Atlantic Treaty framework. Britain’s leaders, including Winston Churchill, objected to a U.S. command and feared England was being sidelined. The decision sparked debate over whether another American would head the NATO force or if the U.S. would let the issue fade. Fechteler, son of Rear Admiral Augustus F. Fechteler, rose from naval academy graduate in 1916 to command roles in destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, leading the Pacific amphibious campaigns and later the Atlantic Fleet. He acknowledged the heavy responsibility and the challenge of filling Forrest Sherman’s shoes.
