B-29 May Be Across Border
Tokyo—(U.P).The Air Force said today the B-29 Superfort which disappeared Tuesday in northern Japan near Russia "may have glided across the international boundary" and crashed.
The Superfort was approached by a fast-flying plane from Russian territory before its image disappeared on radar instruments tracking the paths of both aircraft.
"The times of their observations check in general with the time of the B-29's disappearance on the radar screen," the Air Force said.
Establishment of a bipartisan foreign policy was urged by Dr. Francis Wilcox, chief of staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, who spoke at a political science convocation Thursday in Strong auditorium.
Bipartisan Foreign Policy Urged.
Dr. Wilcox asserted that the machinery for carrying out American foreign policies should be re-examined since the State department has been growing pains." have two reasons for the existence of the situation;
1. The tremendous world leadership that the United States has developed since World War II.
2. Increased complexity and
amount of problems that confront the United States.
Dr. Wilcox also said that the Constitution is hampering effective foreign policy since it is "an invitation to United States disunity." He said that the checks and balances system has brought about a split between the State department and Congress which has created conflict in the cause of power. Dr. Wilcox said the United States cannot have a "rusty, outmoded" Constitution if it is to provide world leadership.
A bipartisan foreign policy has always existed so far as ends are concerned, Dr. Wilcox pointed out "Means have brought about the
differences," he said. He said that a bipartisan policy has operated on a limited scale since World War II, as shown in agreements on the North Atlantic Treaty organization, the United Nations, and the mutual security program. He said lack of these agreements would have caused the United States to "founder" in providing world leadership. Dr. Wilcox asserted that "never have I seen a case where a bipartisan foreign policy has failed."
Dr. Wilcox praised the Point Four program by stating that it is inexpensive, creates a good name for the United States, and gives technical assistance to backward areas.
