Air Force Worries Over Lack
OfInterest tinIts New Academy

Air Force, officials, concerned
by an apparent lack Of interest
In the new air academy, have
decided that the word has just
not gotten around about estab-
lishment Of the new institution.
So far, $40 have applied for
admission in the 1859 class, which
begins studies in temporary
quarters at Lowry Air Force
Base near Denver next July
pending completion of the acad-
emy's buildings at Colorado
Springs, Colo. There will be
800 cadets in the first class. and
the department had hoped to get
some 5000 applicants so as to
have greater selectivity. Dead
line for candidates for nomina-
tions is February 18.
One encouraging factor to Air
Force officials is that some $500
letters have been received in
quiring about the new school.
"But the applications are just
not coming through" an official
said today. "The only way we
can figure it is that-eyen
though a great deal Of publicity
has been released on the subject
the word has not sufficiently
spread around the country that
the new academy soon will be in
business.

doesn't believe increased services
have been commensurate with
the rise in taxes" He feels there

somewhere" and promises to
look into it, if elected.

will hang themselves. Mr.. Scull
agrees. particularly in the Demo-
Gratis assertion that more State
aid provides the solution to
county financial problems.
He adds. This is a fallacy be-
cause it will require that the
poorer counties in the State give
up what they have to take care
of U.S." Even so, he says, there
wouldn't be that much more of
the $50 million available State
wide to make a great difference.
Mr.. Buchanan also believes the
plea that more light industry in
the county would provide addi-
tional revenue is "far overrated. /"
He says every additional penny
will help, but warns, Don't look
for that to take away the load.

Their Views I

Both Mr.. Scull and Mr.. Bu-
chanan say it's extremely i'm
portant" to put more local
businessmen on the council.
According to them. the voters
choice is clearly drawn between
Republican common sense and
Democratic nonsense Mr..
Scull adds, I'VE believe the
honesty of our approach to the
county's problems will justify
the confidence to elect us to solve
these problems" Both he and
Mr.. Buchanan think they have
the qualifications to fill the jobs.
The two Republicans feel their
opponents. as well as other
Democrats, are lust shooting
hot air" in their blasts against
the present administration.
They're just making wild
statements with no foundations. :"
