A THE BATAVIA DAILY N E W S * Friday, March. 12, 1965 OF VIET Comments as More Air Strikes Blast North Area SAIGON,. ’ South Viet Nam (AP) — Gen. Harold K. Johnson wound up a one-week visit to this war-torn nation today and said- he believes that, with con tinued American help, South Viet Nam can defeat its Viet Cong foes. “Freedom is on the line here,” the U.S. Army chief of staff told newsmen, “I hope very much, I believe very much, that we can make free dom prevail through the joint efforts of the countries interest ed in preserving freedom, espe cially the Republic of Viet Nam and the United States,” More Secret Strikes U.S. arid South Vietnamese warplanes staged more secret strikes from tile Da Nang air- base as Johnson and his staff headed back to Washington from the mission which he said was to “look, listen and learn/' There was no disclosure of the airmen's targets. Various sources close to the Johnson mission have reported that items under study included commitment of U.S. combat units, increased bombing of North Viet Nam and even the selection of possible targets for nuclear bombing. Possible Prelude t Some military observers have viewed the recent operation Sil ver Lance in California as a possible prelude to a large-scale movement of U.S. combat troops into Viet Nam. In its opening phase, Silver Lance resembled the landing of 3,500 U.S. Marines early this week for guard duty, at the Da Nang base, 380 miles northwest of Sai gon. In its final phase the ma neuver involved the landing of the equivalent of a full division. Another subject reported to have received attention was the possibility of imposing military censorship or some variant of this on news correspondents serving in Viet Nam. Bombers Away A dozen U.S. Air jorce jet fighter-bombers took off before noon from the base 365 miles northeast of Saigon. They re turned in the afternoon with their bombs and rockets gone. /Four U.S. B57 Canberra bombers took off and returned short time later. A military spokesman in Saigon, without naming Da Nang, said four B57 jets had made strikes today on Viet Cong concentrations in Phu Yen Province* about 180 miles south of Da Nang. <*>- lot it identified as Lockhart. Photographed from the waist up, he was wearing a flying suit with a unit emblem and wings. Another photo which the agency said was the wreckage of a plane shot down during the M a rch 2 strike showed a sec tion of a plane’s wing with the letters USAF. The agency said the pilot sur rendered after he was spotted by North Vietnamese. Members of Lockhart’s squad ron at Da Nang Air Base and Navy and Air Force units had flown repeated missions over Communist territory and off shore, searching for the pilot Five other airmen downed dur ing the joint strikes on ^«ang Khe and -Xom Bang were res cued. Lockhart, 27, lived with his parents in Point Pleasant, W Va. until he entered the Air Force Academy. His’ parents now live in Springfield, Ohio, and his wife lives in Alexandria, La. The United States also lost a Marine helicopter Thursday which was supporting an opera tion against Communist battal ions in the central highlands. The four crewmen were injured, Rights Continued! from Page 1 Chaplain Will Speak For Legion The Rev. Bernard F. Finne gan, Catholic chaplain at the Veterans Hospital, will be the speaker during the American Legion Birthday Dinner-Dance at the Legion Home Saturday night. The event begins at 7 p. m.

Tickets will be on sale at the door. Six. Vietnamese Skyraiders left Da Nanag. On their return authorities said they had hit guerrilla targets inside the country. On Alert Status . In the past, strikes on targets in Communist North Viet Nam have been announced after the planes returned. Strikes against Communist supply routes in Laos are not announced. Reliable military sources in Saigon reported that Vietnam ese air force personnel stationed at Saigon, Bien Hoa and Da Nang, the country’s three major military airfields, had been placed on an alert status and confined to their bases today. It was speculated the move was a security measure to pre vent the leaking of information on any impending air strikes. Pilot's Body ^odnd M ilitary sources reported a ground party found the body of one of two American pilots missing since their B57 jet bomber crashed on an air strike against the Viet Cong in rugged terrain 275 miles northeast of Saigon. A search continued for the other pilot while aircraft provid ed protective cover from Com munist attack. There had been reports that the two pilots eject ed shortly before the plane crashed Thursday. The Canberra jet had just dropped a load of napalm- flaming jellied gasoline — from about 500 feet when it plunged to the ground. Second B57 Lest Other pilots on the strike in Binh Dinh Province reported encountering groundfire during their runs. The plane is believed to be the second B57 lost since the bomb ers arrived in Viet Nam duri/ig the’ Gulf of Tonkin crisis last August. North Viet Nam reported to day it had captured 1st Lt, Hay den J. Lockhart Jr., a U.S. Air Force pilot missing since his F100 jet fighter-bomber was shot down March 2 during the American air strike on North Viet Nam’s Qnang Khe naval base- C r a s h V i c t i m F u n e r a l H e l d A Requiem Mass for Marine Capt. John G. Byrne, Jr., 28, of WilliamsviUe, brother of Mrs. Harold P. Ironfield, Jr. of 57 Ellicott Ave., was celebrated af 9:30 this morning at St. Peter & Paul Church in WiUiamsville. The Mass foUowed prayers at the Beach-Tuyn Funeral Home in Wllliamsville. Six Marine served as bearers. Capt. Byrne was killed in a plane crash 3,000 yards off shore from Iwakuni Marine Base in Japan Feb. 27. Word of his promotion from lieutenant to captain was received by the family this week. Al Lingo, said he had no com' ment on the proposed action. Seek Order Plan LeRoy Collins, director of the federal Community Relations Service, spent about two hours with a Selma citizens group Thursday in ain effort to devise a p la n for souind r a c e relations. Demonstrations continued around the nation over the ra cial developments in Alabama There was no indication how long the reported agreement would remain In effect in Sel ma. Lewis said it provided for a march to the Courthouse and a 15*minute prayer vigil. But, he ,said he did not know “just how important this victory is. If they let us march today, but they don’t let us march to m o rrow , i t is no victory.” Word Spreads Quickly He said the compromise was reached between city officials and civil rig h ts leaders as a re sult of meetings all day Thurs day with Collins. Word of the march spread quickly through the Negro area near the church. State Police cars pulled out and only a token force of officers remained at the scene. A rope barricade was put up Wednesday night, to stop the marchers from going to the courthouse to protest alleged discrimination in Yoter registra tion. It was still up and about 50 Negroes maintained a prayer vigU there. Felled By Club Before word was received of the minister’s death, Baekr an nounced the arrest of a fourth man, Odel Hoggle, 30, a Selma auto mechanic and brother of William Stanley Hoggle, 36, who was arrested the day before. William Hoggle was arrested along with R. B. KeHey, 30, and Elmer Cook, 41. All four were charged with murder after it was learned the minister had died. Reeb and the Revs. Orloff M. Miller, 25, also of Boston, and Clark Olson, 32, of Berkeley, Calif., said they were clubbed by five or six white men. Miller and Olson said Reeb was hit on the head with a homemade club, Reeb’s death touched off reac- ions by the demonstrators who had remained in the street since Wednesday night. They wept, sang, prayedl, threatened to march into a police barricade, and finally settled down in a cold drizzling rain to sleep. Bak er told them of Reeb’s death and said the four men would be charged with murder. Prayer Vigil\ The demonstrators, who be gan their street confrontation with Selma police and Alabama state troopers as a “prayer vi gil” for Reeb said they also were staying in protest of voter registration problems. Before word of the agreement came, leaders of the demonstra- ion said they intended to stay at the site at leats three days, or until Saturday. The demon- G a s Leakage Causes Alarm GOUVERNEUR, N.Y. (A P )- Fire officials sealed off part of this St. Lawrence County vil lage Thursday night, because 2,500 gallons of gasoline had leaked from a storage tank. The fuel, officials said, had seeped into a creek that runs under Route 11. Gasoline also spread to a residential section. Roads, including Route 11, were closed as a safeguard against fire. Firemen flushed the creek Thursday night and then spread foam in the area. There were no evacuations, po lice said. College Project Units Perfecting Organization Organization of efforts to in form the public on the Commun ity College project were advan ced during a committee meeting at Jackson School Monday night. Former Supervisor Russell A. Woodworth of Stafford presided in the absence of Norman E. St. Clair, the chairman. Mrs. Alfred L. George, chair man of the residential effort, said leaders and workers have been established in all but two city districts. Completion is ex pected shortly and personal con tacts are to be made. S u g a r B e e t s Discussed B y G r o w e r s Over 140 area growers attend ed a meeting at West Henrietta Thursday concerning the grow ing of sugar beets in the West ern New York Area. Previous to this year, allot ments for the growing of the sugar beets have been restrict ed to an eight-county area in Central New York. This year it has been extended several other counties in Western New York, including Genesee Coun ty. Charles MUler, manager of the Empire Sugar Beet Co. of Au burn, and Thomas Scott, Cornell University sugar beet special ist, spoke and answered the questions of the growers. Two films on the methods of growing and harvesting and the relation ship between the grower and the processing firm were shown. The Empire Co. supervises the granting of the allotments to the individual growers. Peter Jackson, Genesee Coun ty Assistant extension agent, said the main question in the minds of the prospective grow ers seemed to be the cost of shipping the beets to the near est receiving station at Geneva. Approximate costs were report ed to be from $3 to $4 per ton, depending on the section of the county. The deadline for the signing of contracts with the Empire Co. has been extended to March 31, Mr, Jackson reported, Health Care The Speakers’ Bureau, under the chairmanship of Mrs. George S. Young, will meet Monday for a briefing session, at Jackson School at 8:15 p. m. Harold D. Frazee, Jr., an nounced that he has an appoint ment with Dr. Paul J.

The income tax recouping would be effected by reducing the basic personal exemption of retired persons who- chose to avail them s e lves of this p a r t of the plan. For those whose in come was so small that they paid no tax, this would have no effect. The higher the income the greater the recouping by the government.

Social Security specialists es timate that the additional in come tax brought in by such a reduction, balanced against the government’s share of the cost of the major medical insurance would amount to a net govern ment liability of about $400 mil lion. Proposed increases in the ex isting state-federal plan of health for the indigent and near- indigent were estimated to cost $200 million additional setting the total claim on the general Treasury at $600 million. County Continued From Page 1 elections as a solution. The lean ing thus far has been toward weighted voting, although this will require considerable study There is no problem in the city where reapportionment can be accomplished by the shifting of district lines. In the towns, however, it is a much more complicated matter since each town is a separate political sub division and each supervisor is his town’s chief fiscal officer in addition to being the town’s rep resentative on the Board of Su pervisors, the county’s govern ing unit. Populations in the various owns range from the approxi mately 1,500 in Bethany and Byron to the nearly 6,000 in the town of LeRoy. Each town has one supervisor. The city of Ba tavia, with six of the 19 super visors, has one third of the coun- y’s population. Steel, USW Conferring On Progress P ittsburgh ( a p ) - a company-union progress meet ing was called today for U. S. Steel Corp., a pace-setter among the “Big 11” companies now bargaining over a contract with the United Steelworkers Union. It was the first general ses sion involving U.S. Steel since company-by-company negotia tions resumed Tuesday after a two-month recess for the elec tion campaign for the union’s presidency. It came a day after the top union and industry bargainers met for the first time in what also was bUled as a progress Steelworkers President David J. McDonald said the meeting was “to plan procedural mat ters this week.” The indus try declined to comment. The U.S. Steel talks involve nearly 300 people who have spent the past two days in small groups thrashing out, plant-level complaints. Other companies also have been bargaining in smaU groups over local problems. The union, which is free to strike May 1, says there wffl be no settlement until the local is sues are out of the way. Hard bargaining on wages and fringe benefits isn’t expect ed to start until next week. Thursday’s top-level meeting brought together the union and industry chairmen of the 11 sep arate negotiating committees and the Joint Human Relations Committee. There was speculation that the industry sought the meeting to again ask for an extension of the May 1 deadline. McDonald would neither confirm nor deny it. The union has four times re fused to extend. The companies also are ad mittedly uneasy about bargain ing with a union whose leader ship is in doubt as the result of the union elertion. The official results of the Feb. 9 election are not expected util next month. McDonald is trail ing I. W. Abel, seeretary-treas- urer, in the race for president. O b i t u a r i e s Clarence R.
