Aboard the vessel-the Core

engine T-28 training planes for
the use of Wet NameSe air
force. The arrival of the hell
copters. which will remain un-
der the control of the United

here, marks the first time
United States aircraft will be
used in direct support of Wet
NameSe ground forces.
Although military restric-
tions were imposed on the Cores
cargo and officials declined to
make any statement regarding
number and type, the ship was
understood to be carrying 40
H 21B Shawnee helicopters
and Is TBS. About 400 service
troops, members of the two
helicopter companies, also were
aboard.
The H-21B, a fairly large
two-rotor craft, can be used as
an aerial ambulance. a high
speed troop carrier, or even for
Strafing missions. 1t carries a
crew of two, and can accommo-
date either IA troops or II

Wet Namese and United

make official statements about
the new equipment, but since

KOS Shorts

NEW YORK, Oct. IA (AP).
Jorge Fernandez of Argen-
tina. blood squirting from a
fierce cut owe ribs right eye,
stopped Cecil Shorts of Cleve-
Ian din 2:43 of the sixth of
a scheduled 10-round bout in
Madison Square Garden to-
night.
Fernandez, who weighed ISL
to 1441a for Shorts, thus ran
his winning streak to six and
added ammunition to his cam
paign for a welterweight title
bout with Benny Paret.
1t wasn't easy for Fernan-
DEE. From the third round on
he was forced to brush spurt-
ing blood away from his eye
So he could see Shorts.
Shorts was substituting for
Bruno Visitin of Italy, who
was denied a passport because
of divorce proceedings at home.
Fernandez, third ranked in
the division. appeared capable
of stopping Shorts any time he
was ready in the first round
and, as a matter of fact, had
the Clevelander in trouble
then.
But instead of pressing his
advantage, he chose to wait,
and it almost was a fatal
error.
