New York and go miles off
Trenton.
The tower, nicknamed "Old
Shaky" by it's occupants, dis
appeared from the radar
screens at 1888 pm. Eastern
standard time January Is.
That is accepted as the ap-
proximate time of the collapse.
There were no survivors and
only two bodies have been re-
covered.
Had Been Damaged
One Of the controversies
about the disaster is whether
the tower could have been
evacuated before it toppled into
the ocean. 1t had been dam
aged by a series of hurricanes
and was scheduled to be shut
down for repairs on Feb
ruary l.
In Boston, the Air Force said
Col. John o. Green, staff judge
advocate of the 9Th Air Divi-
sion, has been named as the
investigating officer for the
final investigations, expected to
take about one month.
At Otis Air Force Base, Maj.
Sheppard and Maj. Stark both
declined specific comment on
the charges. Maj. Sheppard
said he learned of them last
Wednesday.
The Otis Base legal officer,
Mai. William B. Kaliher, said
Evening star., 1961-03-21

he has agreed to represent
both the accused Otis officers
in the forthcoming proceedings.
Both officers certainly feel
they are innocent" he said. He
also refused to comment di-
rectly on the charges, since he
said, he has not yet studied the
official reports.
Relieved of Command
"Old Shaky" was a three
legged steel structure rising
1876 feet above the floor of the
Atlantic. It weighed almost
5000 tons and was completed
in october, 1857, at a cost of
$21 million.
The radar structures are
called Texas towers because
OF their resemblance to oil
drilling rigs.
A spokesman for the 26th
Air Division, Syracuse, N. Y,
said the 46-year-old Col. Banks
was relieved of his command
when the charges were filed.
He said this was routine pro-
cedure.
Col. Banks had been sta
toned at Stewart AFB for
about a year. Pentagon records
show he was born in Raleigh,
w. Va, but list no permanent
home address.
Maj. Sheppard's home ad-
dress is listed in Cambridge,

7OJudgeships
In House Bill
BY the Associated Press


The House Judiciary Com
mittee today approved a bill
which would create 10 new
Federal judgeships throughout
the country.
Of the new posts in the bill,
10 are in Circuit Courts of
Appeals and go are in District
Courts in some 80 States.
Chairman Celler Of New
York said he expects to get
House action on the bill right
after Easter"
A Senate bill, passed earlier
this year, would provide 70
new Federal judgeships. The
Federal Judicial Conference has
recommended creation of SO
new judicial posts, and the
Kennedy administration had
adopted this recommendation.
Thus, the House committee
bill would set up one more
judgeShip than recommended
by the Judicial Conference, but
three less than in the Senate
version.
Mr.. Celler told reporters he
hopes to hold the line on the
total when the House debates
the bill, but added he expects
pressure to add to the bill
rather than to reduce the
number.
AS compared with the Judi
cial Conference recommenda-
tions. the House would add one
Judge to the third circuit New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Delaware
and the Virgin islands,, one
rowing district judge in Ar
kansas and one more district
judge for North Carolina, and
provide two, rather than four,
new district judges in Cali
