Wyo. MOSCOW UP! Gen. Nathan Twining, S. Air Force chief of staff, has been given a look at a new Soviet bomber the Russians say can fly faster than sound. The TJ.

S. Air Force does not yet have such a supersonic bomber. The speed of sound' varies from 760 miles an hour at sea level to about-633 miles an hour at altitudes above 36,000 feet. The top TJ. S.

airman, a group of his aides and British, French and other foreign military men were shown the new plane during a conducted tour of the closely guarded Kubinka Base, about 40 miles from Moscow. Tuesday the, and British air officers toured another secret Soviet installation in the Moscow area the Zhukovski Air Engineering Academy. REPORTERS BARRED Little was known of this academy. Some sources said it was an aeronautics laboratory. Others said they believed it was merely an engineering school for air officers.

Reporters and photographers who tried to accompany the party were barred from the area. The same thing happened Monday, when the visitors went to Kubinka Air Base. Reporters who tried to trail the foreign visitors were halted 20 miles outside Moscow. Twining said later the new craft was a twin-engine, light attack bomber. He thought it probably was a bit smaller than Britain's B57 Canberra jet bomber, but British visitors said it looked a little bigger than the Canberra.

The foreign military men, who were invited here to see Russia's latest aviation achievements, were FROM CAPITOL TO ALCOVA: The Alcova School has the distinction of flying an American" flag that once flew over the Capitol in Washington, D.C., thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Donald G.

It was not in the annual Soviet air show Sunday for which Twining came to Russia. TOUR BASE IN JEEPS The visiting officers toured the base in Jeeps, making only one stop while viewing more than 100 planes.

The stop came when Twining was invited by Air Marshal Pvel Zhigarve, Soviet air force chief, and Marshal Sergei' Rudenko, So-vet air force chief of staff, to make a close inspection of the new TU104 jet transport. The TJ. S. officer was the only member of the party Invited to enter-- the plane. He said the transport appeared to have the general design and wings of a Badger jet bomber, but still was a new plane.

The TU104 was the plane which caused a furor when it visited Britain just prior to the visit there of Premier Bulganin and Communist Party Boss Nikita Khrus-chev. Twining said Soviet pilots demonstrated their skill for, the visitors, taking off in MIG17s in formations of five, then circling and showing their style of peeling off. "Their technique is good," said Twining, "just like ours. The TJ. S.

chief also saw a Fresco MIG17, a farmer MIG19, of somewhat different shape than the MIG17, and an all-weather Flashlight The names given the planes are code words used to designate the Soviet jet craft. "We asked a lot of questions and they were pretty good about answering them," Twining said. "They let us take our time, didn't hurry us at Some American officers had their cameras with them, but were not allowed to take them on the base.

The government said it was necessary to prevent "seditious disorders" plotted by Communists. ORDER CENSORSHIP Soon after the shooting the government ordered censorship "of news dispatches sent abroad. The students marched defiantly from a me-ting at the university. Officials had sent them a warn ing message that they would "swept from the streets" if they attempted to stage a protest. The procession turned into Sixth Avenue, the principal business street, and headed to the president's offices at the end of the thoroughfare.

"As soon as the firing started, the students ran to doorways and behind parked cars.

No date was given. cost plan, and he said he is hopeful of House passage. Overnight, there had been no word from the White House on the various plans, although it previously expressed strong disapproval of the major parts of the committee bill. That bill would provide non-service-connected pensions of $105 a month at age 65 for World War and Korean War veterans whose annual incomes are less than $1,400 if single or $2,700 if with dependents.

The rate would be 20 per cent higher for those with at least 30 days overseas service. It would also raise compensation for service-connected injury generally by 10 to IE per cent and increase payments to veterans' widows. WASHINGTON Of! Leaders in the pensions for veterans drive brought out a new, one-half cost proposal Tuesday as the House headed into an anything-can-happen battle over a bill that could annually cost billions of dollars. Rep. Edmondson (D-Okla) said the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) will back a $90-a-month pension instead of the $105 version originally approved by the House Veterans Committee.

This, plus other agreed-on cuts in the committee bill, would chop first year cost.v to little more than two-thirds of a billion dollars. Without this the administration estimates the first year's tab at li billions and a total of 148 billions by the year 2000. The last-minute switch In advance of House debate reflected leaders oDinions that even in an Casper and vicinity Partly cloudy Tuesday afternoon, evening and Wednesday; warmer Tuesday and Wednesday, would cost about 200 million dollars the first year. But what if anything would wind up passing the House remained a big question mark as congressmen tiptoed around on the politically hot subject. House Republicans caucused Monday and decided each member would be free to vote as he pleased.

GOP Leader Martin (Mass) told a newsman afterward there no party stasd on Teague's plan, announced over tbe weekend, because there had been no chance ta study it. NO PARTY STAND Some Democratic leaders other than Rayburn were reported favoring "laughing through" the full committee bill on the theory that the Senate or a late-session veto by President Kisenhower would kill it.

Bridges (R-NH) said Tuesday the House should "determine if important statements of campaign contributions have been destroyed." Bridges, chairman on the Senate GOP Policy Committee, made the suggestion after House clerk Ralph R.

Roberts said he assumed the documents in question had been "sold as scrap paper." The documents are a statement of campaign contributions filed by the treasurer, of the Republican National Committee for 1952 and others filed by the Democratic national treasurer for 1949-1952. The Justice Dept. said Monday the reports are needed in conec-tion with "investigations." One, being conducted by a federal grand jury in Louis, concerns alleged tax irregularities. The department said it not only had been unable to obtain the documents from Roberts or from Wayne C. Groer, the national archivist, but couldn't even learn if they still exist.

It said responses from both men had "been quite inconclusive." Roberts told reporters he gave the Justice Dept. access to all records that were available. But those for 1951 and 19S2, he said, were not available "because they are not in existence." He said he assumed they were sold as scrap papr as are other papers no longer kept in the "live" files of the House. The Corrupt Practices Act, he said, requires the keeping of records of campaign expenditures for only two years. Roberts said he had a "suspicion" the records already have been scanned by the Justice Dept.

"If they really wrant them it seems they could get them from the two national committees themselves, Roberts said.

This is 1.1 per cent above May last year and is the same that was reached in. October, 1953.
