In Wet Nam"
Gen. Wheeler told a reporter
1t takes about two years to
train a South Wet Namese pi-
lot.
The limited number Of Wet
Namese pilots are used to fly
single-engine, propeller driven
fighters such as the T-28,
which is a trainer in the United
States but a battle craft in
Wet Nam.
American Air Force pilots are
flying T-28s in combat, too, as
well as Spotter planes and RF-
1Ol Jet photo reconnaissance
craft.
The B-26, which dates to
World War II, is a twin-engine
bomber that is relatively simple
when compared with sophisti-
Gated jets. But the Wet Namese
pilots are not yet up to hand
ling the B-26. .
Meanwhile, the growing mill
tary operations against the Wet
Cong have brought increasing
need for B-26 strikes.
Ultimately, the Wet Namese
fliers are expected to take
over.

described as strafing and fire
bombing operations against the
Communists.
The planes bore Wet Namese
Air Force insignia, but we're
flown and navigated by United
States Air Force officers with
Wet Namese along as observ-
ers. Three United States flyers
were killed in the two incidents.
Asked how this meshed with
stated United States policy that
Americans will fire only If fired
upon, the Defense Department
said, there has been no switch
in roles or departure from
policy with respect to Sout h

The Pentagon recalled that
Mr.. Mcnamara on several oc-
casionS has said United States
forces are there to advise and
train the Wet Namese.
Gen. Earle G.. Wheeler, Army
Chief of Staff, put his finger
on a principal difficulty when
he returned recently from a
tour of the Wet Namese battle
zone.
South Wet Mans Air Force,
he said, is limited in pilots and
technicians. He added:

Associated Press Staff Writer

United States Air Force pi-
lots are flying combat missions
in South Wet Nam out of me-
cessity there aren't enough
qualified Wet Namese pilots.
The official United States
position is that American mill
tary men are there in an "ad-
visory and training capacity"
Some key officers in the serv-
Ices would like to acknowledge
publicly lat Americans also
are there in fighting roles.
But the State Department
and the Joint Chiefs of Staff
refuse to permit this, chiefly
for diplomatic reasons.
Defense Secretary Mcnamara

Income Tax Dofo
The Standard
Or Optional
Deduction

THIS LEGAL COL
UlMN is prepared by the
attorneys of Ohio under
the supervision of the
State Bar Association.
Every effort Is made to
haze each fact accurate
in the Interpretation of
the haW.
The standard or optional de-
duction is available to you II
you do not desire to itemize
your personal deductions au-
thorized by law such as real
estate taxes, charitable contri-
buttons and medical expenses.
These personal deductions are
deductions from a figure called
Adjusted Gross Income. Ad-
justed gross income is gross in
come less exclusions, such as
the sick pay exclusion, and de-
ductions for business expenses
and related items such a. ex-
penses incurred in connection
with property which you hold
for the production Of rents or
royalties.
The standard deduction is 10
per cent Of this adjusted gross
income figure up 70 . maximum
deduction Of 81, 900. It 10 . sub
stitute method allowed as a
measure Of presumed personal
deductions and is given to you
whether or not you keep rec
ords Of deductible expenses or
actually have these expenses.
The determination Of whether
or not you should use the
standard deduction should be
made by comparing the net tax
which you will pay under both
methods Of filing your return
The final method used should
be based upon q consideration
Of the relative cost Of filing
under either m e t h o d, the
amount Of personal deductions
you have incurred and your
ability to sustain the burden of |
proving the accuracy Of your
temized deductions.
A general rule Of thumb
would indicate that you will pay
ess tax by itemizing your de-
luctions where you own your
,wn home and pay substantial
'eal estate taxes and mortgage
interest. However, there can
definitely be other situations
where the termination method
will benefit you taxwise. Later
Irticles will discuss various
ypes Of personal deductions
allowable to you in computing
'our taxable income.

Do timely work now
saws ASC chairman

Farmers were reminded to.
day that now is a good time
to plan or carry out certain
Agricultural Conservation
Program practices that can
be done prior to the planting
season.
According to Lynn Jordan,
Chairman of the Holmes Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and
Conservation County Commit
tee, the spring season : when
farm leasing arrangements
are being made for the COM
ingi year, and lbefbfe the
heavy blowing season starts
is the time OF year when far
mers, including tenant-opera-
tors, can begin much of the
conservation work they plan
for their land.
The chairman points out
that cOst-Share assistance is
available under the 1868 Ag-
riculturaI Conservation Pro-
gram to help farmers with
conservation projects on their
farms, and farm operators
are encouraged to visit the
Asses county office to discuss
their plans and determine
whether needed program as
SiStance is available.
In Holmes County, he ex-
plains, a substantial amount
of Establishment of vegeta-
tive cover, Improvement of
vegetative cover, Application
of lime and Construct stock
ponds is done in the spring,
and these ate among the
most important practices
which can be approved for
ACP aid. Other conservation
work which could be carried
out : or at least started : in
the spring includes Construct
drainage bitches, Timber

truct diversion terraces.

All Club Week
IS observed

young Citizens in Action
is the theme of National AZ
Club Week, March 2 : 8, &C
cording to c. /. Smith, state
4-H leader Of the, Cooperative
Extension Service.
Special emphasis will be
placed on letting the public
know some of The achieve
ments of club working during
the past year, he said.
For the second consecutive
year, Mississippi will be re.
presented in the group of six
top All members in the Unit.
ed States who make the an.
nual "4-H Report to the Ma.
tiOn' at Washington, d. c.
This years delegate is Miss
Faye Craig of Louisville, who
placed as state and national
winner in achievement last
fall at the National All Club
Congress. She joins five other
young people to make the re-
port in Washington, New
York and Los Angeles.
Some of the accomplish
ments of Mississippi's more
than los, 900 All members in
Guided SO members receiving
college scholarships totaling
$11,6U. Special training in;
judging went to 81 1000 mem
bers, and 5000 members re-
ceived training in demon
strating new ideas and skills
learned in All, Mr.. Smith
said.
Training in leadership and
citizenship is emphasized in
Al Clubs. Emphasis is on the
personal development of the
boy and girl in All today, he
pointed out. The project pro-
vides the opportunity for Ex-
tension agents and adult lea
ders to work with the young
people in their personal grow
tn and development.
Mississippi 4-H'ers will in
form the public of their ac-
complishmen through news
papers, radio and television.
They will present special
school programs, make talks
to civic and professional
clubs and arrange exhibits
in store windows and other
public places.
Much of the credit for the
outstandingly successful All
Club year in Mississippi is
due the volunteer All adult
leaders who are essential in
HI work, Mr.. Smith said.
County Extension agents dir
ect the All program in the
counties and their efforts are
greatly multiplied by these
adult leaders.
A breakdown on MISSISSIPPI
pi membership shows that
67,140 members come from
rural farm homes, 1851
from rural non.farm homes
and 17,161 from urban homes.

on that committee.
Detectives Of the OAR So
ciety are patriotic, historical
preservation of the heritages
handed down to us by those
ancestors who fought for our
freedom, and the Benjamin
G.. Humphreys Chapter stands
high in carrying out those
detectives, as evidenced by
the commentators and a.
wards given the Chapter.
Wednesday night was desig-
mated as Chapter Regents
night. The banquet honoring
Chapter Regents was held at.
600 p. M, and Mrs. Brooks,
Regent of the Benjamin G..
Humphreys Chapter, deliver
ed the invocation. The speak
err for the banquet was Mrs.
Ida Mora, twice displaced
by Communists taking her
country. First as a Hungarian
who fled to\America, met and
married a Cuban doctor and
went with him to Cuba, only
to be forced to flee for the
second time to the sanctuary
of America. Mrs. Mora vivid
ly told Of the atrocities in
her native Hungary, of which
she was an eye witness, and
then of the same thing hap
pening in Cuba, forcing her
to again flee to a free count
ry.
Mrs. Mora said the occa-
sion was unique for her, as
in speaking to a OAR Society,
she was speaking to a group
1000 patriotic, aware of
what Communism has done,
and aware of what commu-
niSm is doing to our Ameri-
ca. Mrs. Mora challenged
every American to be alert
to the subtle infiltratiOn Of
Communism in every walk of
life, to be aware and have
the knowledge to combat
Communism before it is too
late. Mrs. Mora challenged
every American to recognize
Communist trends, socialistic
leanings and to save our
country from the fate that
has befallen her native Hun
gary and her husbands ma
tive Cuba. The OAR has ac-
copied this challenge, and in
turn challenges every man
and woman to work with
us, said Mrs. Brooks.
Following the banquet was

ment of 20 of the Companys residential and commercial
revenues to the city of Lexington, which payments are esd-
mated at %$160OO0OO over the life of the franchise.
Granting the franchise will enable the Company to make
long range plans to assure the Lexington area an adequate

The judge entered and told us our rights.
We could plead guilty be fined -
and get the fact entered on our licenses.
We could plead not guilty : and have
a trial, later. We could plead guilty
with an explanation = and he d listen.
We were entitled to lawyer.
Then the hearings started. Nearly
every defendant tried to weasel out of
the charge. Their explanations" we're
usually transparent lies. Frequently, an
irate citizen turned to the audience and
loudly protested his innocence. Arrest
ing officers were. called liars to their
faces. Not a pretty sight Mr., Mrs.
and Miss America trying to beat charges
Occasioned by their own bad driving.
My turn came. I'd planned to plead
guilty. But I'm human, too. heard
myself say, "Cuilty - with possibly nit
eating circumstances.
The judge looked up from his paper
shutting. what 'circumstances'?''
'T'nl right here"
explained about the level sun in
my eyes and the impOssibility of looking
away from the road to read the speed
ometer. Lamely, | wound up, eff the
arresting officer were here, he'd acknowl-
edge those we're the conditions"
I'm right here" And, of course,
ne was. Arresting officers have to testify
against those they've charged - and on
their own time, without extra pay. He
was in sports clothes and | hadn't rec
ognized him till he spoke. I'D like to
say something, your honor"

Go ahead" I'm sure the judge
expected some extra-horrible account.
This is the most courteous man |
ever arrested, your honor" the cop
said. He is a superior driver, respon-
sible, polite, and what he says about the
driving conditions is true. If I'd known
how decent he would be - no back-talk
or threat to use influence I'D never
have tagged him down"
Having an officer testify in behalf of
the person arrested was, evidently, a
new experience for the judge. He stared
at the cop for moment - then at me
- and dismissed the whole thing.
Luck and PGGItOS
Somewhat stunned, thanked the
judge and the cop and went.
That evening | told some friends of
my singular ''day in court" All except
one were amused by my good luck"
That one said, ''What a pathetic
thing!"
The others were baffled by that.
Not |, though. For pathetic" was cor
rect. explained it:
''When Americans get tagged down
for traffic offense, they usually rage,
aIibi. threaten to use influence, deny
charges - and, generally, act as if the
arresting officer were bum, boob or
both. A cop gets to expect nothing but
rage and back-talk from the public. So,
often, he gets in the first round by being
cold, sarcastic, whatnot. My guy was
icy - till it entered his head he might
be arresting somebody who would be
