B-52 Incident,
Criminal Negligence

| The March oath VOICE was most

The radio constantly assures us that
America sleeps better because the MAJ

tional Guard trainee shoots down an
eight million dollar B52 with eight men
aboard. Last reports tell us that three
men who bailed out have been taken
to hospital and the other five missing.
This is called regrettable accident.
1t is no such thing. 1T is criminal negli-
gence of the big brass leading to man.

to reason why, but to follow orders
and die if the orders are stupid.
OF course there is an alibi. There is
always an excuse for the powerful

trainees must train under exact COM
bat conditions, say the great brass
bosses. In the name of God what diff
ference could it make to the training

deadly Sidewinder missile to seek out
the engines of the target bomber were
left at home where it belongs unless

Range Telephone Coop, Forsyth,
serves the adjacent area but there
is no commercial telephone service
in Lame Deer. Approval of the bill
will permit the private company to
serve the entire area.
This legislation is general and may
apply in other areas. Assistant Sec
rotary of Interior John Carver Jr.
wrote Mansfield that cat the present
time, the (Indian) Bureau has per-
haps six or eight systems that are
similar to the circumstances surround
ing Lame Deer. AS co-operatives and
utility companies move closer to res
ervations, others will develop and
the Bureau should have the authority
to act when these commercial COM
panies are in a position to provide,
a utility service to the general public
around an Indian reservation and
disposition of the system is in the
interest of the government.

The disappointing Milwaukee
Braves may be on the move,
but they're chasing first-place
Cincinnati on a treadmill in
that National League pennant
race.
With righthander Bob Buhl
winning his second in a row
and pitching his first shutout
of the season in a 80 victory
at st. Louis last night, the
Braves bounced back to 500
for the first time since Memo
rial Day. It was their seventh
success in nine games and
moved them within one game
of fourth-place Pittsburgh, but
they're still 91a lengths back
of Cincinnati.
Fact is, the Braves are the
only club in the MI that hasn't
lost ground to the Reds over
the past 10 days. Since June
18. Milwaukee has picked up
two games on Los Angeles, 3la
on San Francisco and three
on Pittsburgh. the 2-3-4 clubs
behind Cincinnati.
Reds Rally to Win
The Reds retained a three
game lead with a comeback,
1913 decision over the Cubs
for their 18th victory in 13
games. Los Angeles beat Pitts
burgh, 9-5, and San Francisco
hammered Philadelphia, 1875.
Buhl (5-5) shut out the
Cardinals on six hits. He
walked one and struck out five
while out-dueling Curt Sim
mons (2-T, who allowed seven
hits. A single by Frank Thomas
and a double by Roy Mcmillan
gave Milwaukee a second in
ming run and Ed Mathews iced
it with bis 18th homer, a two
run shot, in the sixth.

singles. The other was a dou-
