TViQ fimim va xcciieu wm o 1 h'nnrl Hill Air Force Base fared much better than was originally expected in the last Reduction in Force, Personnel officials announced today. Colonel Jerome W. Jackson, Director of Personnel, pointed out that, through attrition and placement, only 80 employees were actually separated as a result of the Department of Defense order to reduce civilian personnel pay- roll expenditures. When the reduction was first announced in August, it was thought that approximately0 300 of the approximately Ogden Air Materiel Area employees would be affected. "Now, upon auditing the action to see just how many were RIF'd that is, how many were separated it amounted to only 80," Colonel Jackson said. "This is indicative of what good management, combined with normal attrition, can do," officials stated. It is interesting to note that during the Reduction in Force operation, approximately 1400 diverse personnel actions were handled. This indicates the ofdegree to which personnelfairficials acted in complete ness and consideration of each individual case. . 71,. vC n nuw :4. into ils j... more to come before final iirsi col " . 1 ONLY 80 WORKERS GET RIF'D Speaker tonight Orivis . .

Security Note: The article sets forth the official posi(Editor's following tion of the United States Air Force on the vital question of MANNED AIRPOWER vs. MISSILES.) How long will the USAF have manned aircraft? e "Won't the missiles make strategic bombers obsolete?" "Isn't it a fact that in the end, these missiles mean that you won't need the 2 and aircraft of that kind?" "Don't you say that you in the Air Force do not concede what the missiles can do, because if you did then you would in effect be saying that we don't need the Air Force, and that the Army or Navy could han. dle the missile program?". The above remarks are typical of the very way that some people think about the impact of missiles upon aerial warfare and the composition of air forces. That the confusion persists is demonstrated by the continuing forays of opinion predicting the imminent obsolescence of manned aircraft as delivery systems for the airbourne weapons of a future war. The fact is that the USAF has actively sought the age of missiles. For more than ten years it has planned, programmed, developed, and bought missiles. Far from hindering or detracting from bringing missiles into its inventory of active weapons, the USAF, on the contrary, has pressed for the perfection of these new weapon systems.
