SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April II
Six first lieutenants at Randolph

to fly and others have asked vol
Iuntary suspensions from flying.
The number of officers seeking
voluntary suspension was not
given. But Maj. Albert Hatcher,
public information officer for the
crew training force, said the num-
ber is being compiled.
Of the six officers who refused
to go aloft, one faces court martial
charges of "disorderly conduct. y
Maj. Hatcher said.
Maj. Hatcher said no reason
was given for refusal of the six to
fly. But the San Antonio Light

were killed when two collided in
the air north of San Antonio last
month.
Maj. Hatcher said the six off,
