Editorial UNDERSTANDING CONCERN A number of residents of the Town of Yates are expressing understandable concern over the prospect of having a nuclear power plant in their vicinity. This is occasioned because the State Atomic and Space Development Authority has de- signated an acreage along Lake Ontario near the Morrison Road as one of three sites along Lake Ontario as an acceptable place for the installation of a nuclear power plant. . 20, The State is recognizing the apprehension that is prevailing in Orleans in Niagara where the Ne Gas Corp has purchased exploring the possibility nuclear plant near Barker.

UCE BIOSSAT 9 MEDINA JOURNAL-REGISTER FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1972 Washington Window U.S. Pilots Regain Air - Mastery Over MIGs By WARREN L. NELSON WASHINGTON (UPI) -In recent weeks the United States has suddenly regained its total air mastery over Soviet-made MIGs -a mastery gained in the Korean War but which had slipped noticeably during the Vietnam War. | In the Korean conflict Ameri- can fighters tore through the Communist fighters, downing 795 MIGs while losing only 113 planes in dogfights, a 7-1 ratio. From 1365 to 1968, when the United States was bombing North Vietnam regularly, Hanoi periodically sent her MIGs to challenge the new generation of U.S. fighters. The United States continued to win out most of the time, bagging 110 MIGs to Hanoi's score of 48 U.S. planes. However, that left the U.S. margin of superiority at little better than 2-1. Now the picture has changed radically. After three relatively quiet years, Hanoi's air force in the past few months has reappeared in the skies to challenge the stepped-up U.S. bombing. In that time North Vietnam's MIGs have shot down only four F4 Phantoms and the Phantoms have bagged 24 MIGs, a 6-1 kill ratio. Air Force officials said the main reason the ratio has improved is that the MIGs are no longer able to pick and choose their targets at leisure. U.S. planes are once again striking at their airfields and ground control radar sites, forcing the MIGs to come up and fight or watch their air force be destroyed . on the ground. Officials said the MIGs in Vietnam are controlled by radarmen on the ground. The radar controllers watch their own MIGs as well as the U.S. Phantoms and can guide the MIGs when they choose through the haze. generated by North Vietnam's humidity and rice paddies and into the blind spot behind their American targets. \As long as they can operate like that they have _ an advantage,\ one Air Force officer said. \They know where we are; we never know where they are until they fire.\ To - counter - the _ built-in advantage for the MIGs, U.S. training has put increasing emphasis on team flying in which each pilot is responsible for watching another pilot's blind spot -that area directly behind from which all planes The Lighter Side By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)-Water to repair to the foot of the bed. beds, which enjoyed a certain vogue last year, are now being superseded by mud beds. Meanwhile, king-size, queen- size, emperor-size, maharajah- size and other - supersized mattresses have captured al- most a third of the innerspring market. ° ‘ What will be next in the way of pad fads?

Believe, me, baby cakes, the voluptuous - undulations of a water bed can't compare with the fizzy thrills that ensue from reposing on the bubbly. ~ And although I've never experienced the squishy bliss of a mud bed, I 'feel certain it likewise would pale before the effervescent rapture that is yours on a bed of champagne. An Untoward Adventure I switched to a champagne bed a few weeks ago after a rather untoward adventure with a water bed. Which I'll admit was mostly my fault. Being ever in the avant- garde, I sought to combine the chic of the water bed. with the spaciousness of the supersize mattress. But I guess I overdid it, for my sultan-sized, wall-to- wall water bed proved defective _ right from the start. , The main drawback is that a water bed that large develops a tidal current. One reclines ecstatically near the head of the bed and then, almost before one has time to peel a grape, the tide goes out. Forcing one _ With More Delegates to Come . . . Wallace at High-Water Mark _ By BRUCE BIOSSAT SEATTLE, Wash. (NEA) Not sympathy for a strickened man but the hard fact of his season-long performance compels attention right now for the remarkable 1972 political achievements of Gov. George Wallace of Alabama. His stunning double triumph in the Michigan and Mary: land primaries provides the climax of his surprising year. He has won, at this point, six of the 16 primaries thus far held. That gives Wallace twice as many primary victories as Sen. George McGovern, the present leader in committed convention delegates, and two more than Sen. Hubert Humphrey, considered McGovern's chief rival for the 1972 nomination. Moreover, Wallace's victories in Michigan and Mary- land were so thorough that he seemed to have picked up more than 110 delegates and to have boosted his overall totat to the range of 325-second only to McGovern. To go further, Wallace has finished second in three other primaries where there was multicandidate compe- - tition-Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Indiana. And he was . Humphrey's only rival in West Virginia. Even if he had not been shot down and thus evidently . eliminated as an active campaigner for the remainder of the nominating period, this moment would have been a \\break point\ for him. Except possibly for a minor write-in effort in California's June 6 primary, in none of the remaining seven tests was Wallace expected to make a bid. P _ But he was planning to press hard for more delegates in some southern and border states, and my country-wide canvassing of the outlook suggests he will have successes in this strategy even as he lies immobilized in his hos- pital bed. In addition to which, my water bed at high tide developed a nasty undertow. And if one has to convert one's canopy into a life guard station, it rather defeats the purpose of a water bed, wouldn't you say? . So that was when I hit upon the idea of draining off the water and filling the mattress with champagne. But a word of caution about that, too. Princess Complains Remember | the\ old Bedtime story about the princess who complained that her bed was lumpy after someone slipped a pea under about a dozen feather mattresses? Well, I am married to her sister. The very first time my wife reclined upon the champagne bed, she knew immediately that I had used a cheap domestic brand. , \It's a pretentious little wine and I admire its spunk,\ she said, \but I can't sleep on anything less than Dom Perig- non.\ \What vintage?\ I asked. 'Make it 1964,\ she said. So there's the rub.

He alsogis makirgg inroads in Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina, though it is not yet clear how much of his support in those places will translate into substantial numbers of delegates. How Wallace in his present condition can use his astonishing delegate strength in the Miami Beach con- vention in July is also unsettled. Probably he was going to play it by ear anyway. The one sure thing was that he would try, with all his evident political skills, to exert maximum inflqence and kee at the convention. attention riveted upon him The Democratic pérty may be a long time getting over the fact that Wallace won with 51 per cent gbf thg vote in Michigan, supposedly a progressive, issue-oriented state where men backed by big labor, as was Humphrey, can be expected to do well. . While Wallace deserves the bright light at this momefit, it should not be overlooked that Humphrey ran a dismal third in Michigan with just 16 per cent of the vote, and that his respectable second-place 27 per cent in Maryland gained him six of that state's 53 delegates. - On the other hand, McGovern's healthy second in Michigan, with a probale bag of 38 delegates, sets him up well for the next round of primaries in Oregon and crucial California (271 votes) and New York (278). His stock on the big beard is rising almost daily. ,_ In the long view it is still McGovern vs. Humphrey. But 'in the short range, May 16 was George Wallace day and, tragically hurt, he deserves the chance to savor the rich- ness of his victories.

Blips Fill Screens Another - reason - for - the greater kills, officials said, is that last week there were some massed air battles with large numbers of planes swirling about in the air. The ground -radarmen were unable to direct a battle when their screens were filled with blips. Thus Hanoi's airmen lost their big advantage. Adding to the woes of Hanoi's air force, U.S. planes recently destroyed the center at Bach Mai where the war room directing the air defense of North Vietnam was located. ' The - importance - of - the radarmen on the ground is believed to be one reason the MIGs have rarely ventured far from North Vietnamese air space to challenge U.S. aircraft elsewhere in Indochina.
