ALLEN STREET Truman Says U.S. Needs Air Buildup WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (W)—America's air power buildup must be pushed forward to keep the Communists from "plunging the world into war," President Truman said tonight. Commenting briefly on "startling technical advances" made in military aviation, the President said 'that only by such develop ment "can we build up the power which is necessary to keep ag gression and conquest in check." Truman's speech was prepared for the Wright Memorial Dinner of the Aero Club of Washington honoring Lt. Gen! James W. Doo little for his life long- services to aviation. He presented to Doo little the Wright Memorial Trophy in recognition of his contributions as a civilian to aviation Actions Must Be Approved Truman spoke of the difficult decisions confronting presidents on international air routes, and made what might have been a suggestion to President-elect Ei senhower to get ready to handle "hot potatoes." The president must approve ac tions of the Civil Aeronautics Board on certificates dealing with international air routes. "One of the results of this sys tem is that it gives the president a good many hot potatoes to handle," the President said. But, he added, "the president gets a lot of hot potatoes from every di rection, and a man who can't handle them has no business in the job." Military Advances Made Truman raid that from April 12, 1945, which is the day he took over as president upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, to Sept. 30, 1952, the route mileage of United States overseas carriers in creased from 75,000 to 240,000. and other operations figures have gone up in proportion. • But he said the most "startling technical advances" have been made in the military field. "We are throwing our energies into military aviation because we want to prevent war," Truman said. "We are developing new techniques and new weapons with the hope that they will never have to be used. "Our aim is peace: We must never forget that. But we cannot have peace by being weak, or by falling behind in the technical race." Neyhart Conducts Schoo! Amos E.
