in his car.

Pakistan JET
De|iveryS Set
By tn. Associated Pres.


The United States is plan
ming to begin delivering B-57
jet bombers to Pakistan late
this year, the Pentagon says.
The Defense Department
SAID last night that the light
bombers are being furnished
under terms of a military
agreement between the United
States and Pakistan.
The department didn't say
how many of the bombers will
be sent but added that they are
scheduled for delivery later this
year and in early 1860.
Other equipment being sent
to Paklstan includes what a
spokesman called a moderate
number of jet fighter bombers.
Gen. Ayub Khan, former
chief of staff of the Pakistan
armed forces who took control
of Pakistan's government in a
bloodlesS coup last October, ne
gotiated a military assistance
agreement with the United
States during a visit here last
summer.
At that time the United
States agreed to supply Pakis-
tan with an unspecified number
OF jet bombers which PakisLau
requested because of the num-
bers of British Canberra Jet
bombers which the Indian air
force had acquired.
When the agreement was
made with Pakistan it was un-
derstood the jet bomberS would
be delivered under the 1860
military assistance program
which begins on July l.
In signing a new military as
sistance program with Pakistan
in March. the United States
agreed to continue it's support
OF the Pakistan armed forces
as an anchor Of the Baghdad
Pact powers. The details of
this last agreement never have
been made public.

Officials Clear Colonel
Of Bumping6OH

TOKYO. April 3 (AP).-The
United States Air Force to-
day cleared a lieutenant colonel

his family could fly to Hawaii

ing board said the officer, 1t.

which caused the "administra-
tive error" that was blamed for
the humping.
Eight Vacant Seats
The Air Force did not say
specifically what had hap
pened but implied that SUBJ
ordinates handling the fight
became fiustered by the pres
ence of Col. Platt-their COM
handing off1cer-and dropped
the waiting GIs from the pas
sengef list.
AS it turned out, the investi-
gators said, there were eight
vacant seats on the plane all
the time; if the mixup hadn't
happened, the servicemen. the
colonel and his family all could
have gone.
The board said it had turned
its findings over to appropriate
commanders to determine
whether OF not disciplinary
action is required" This sug-
gested that the harried colonel
may yet be punished. mildly at
least, for having contributed to
the mixup.
