Texas had a much easier

That Navy has won the last
four Army games comes under
the heading Of facts everybody
knows.
But what has become lost in
the impact Of this almost I'M
paralleled success is that the
Middies have dominated the
service classic ever since 1850.
Army has won only three of
the last Is games and managed
to hold the Middies to a III tie
in 1856.
Ranking just alongside that
tid-bit among the leSser-known
facts about this series is one
that says the greatest teams
ever assembled at the acade-
mics aren't the easiest win
ners.

there's a feeling around West

Senate investigators have
cleared the way for the climactic
appearance of the Pentagon's
civilian bosses in the Tx war
plane inquiry, with an array Of
testimony challenging one Of
the reasons given by Defense
Secretary Mcnamara for his
decision in the case.
Nine experts, including three
from the Boeing Aircraft Co.,
yesterday disputed Secretary
McNamara's contentious that
the company's proposed use Of
titanium in the warplane rep
resented an undue risk In a
program which is expected ulti-
mately to cost more than $6.5
billion.
They appeared before the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee in o closed session. Aft
erwards, Subcommittee Chair
man Mcclellan, Democrat Of
Arkansas, announced that the
civilian secretaries will be heard
in a series of hearings starting
Friday morning.
Mr.. Mcnamara, Air Force Sec
Rotary Zuckert and Navy Secre-
tary Korth overruled unanimous
military recommendations and
awarded the contract for the
plane, designed for use by both
the Air Force and the Navy,
to the General Dynamics Corp.
Of Fort Worth, Tex. The mill
tary favored a Boeing design
as promising a superior aircraft
at less cost.
KOrth to Open
Mr.. Korth, a Fort Worth
banker before joining the Pen
tagon secretariat, will be the
first witness in the concluding
phase Of the investigation
which began last February. The
subcommittee is inquiring into
whether political influence OF
faulty judgment entered into
the award.
Mr.. Korth will be followed BY
Secretary Zuckert and then Mr.
Mcnamara will give the final
defense for the Pentagon's de-
ciSion.
All three signed a memoran-
dunn for the record justifyine
the decision. The memorandum
was prepared by Mr.. Zuckert
and in 1t, and in various state.
mentS by Mr.. Mcnamara, Boz
ing's proposed use of titaniun
was criticized as involving risk
in the successful completion OF
the new aircraft program.
H. w. Witherington of the
Boeing company told the sub.
committee yesterday that other
airplanes had combined the use
of titanium and steel in the
same way his company proposed
to use the metal in the Tx
Tactical fighter experimental
He named the FLO as one ex.

Says Use Suggested
Robert E. Watson, another
Boeing official, testified that
Boeing's proposed use Of titan.
ium was within the strength

by the military and the Fedora

that Boeing obtained data from

bus, Ohio, a research organi-
zation, and Arnold Rustay of
a Worcester (Mass.) forging
company.
The industry witnesses said
they had no connection with
Boeing except as suppliers.
Mr.. Gerard said the use of
titanium as proposed by Boe-
ing created no problems as to
temperature or fatigue. The
fatigue situation, he added,
might possibly be improved by
the use of titanium.
What do you say with re-
spect to whether there is any
appreciable risk in the use of
titanium in this plane as has
been proposed by Boeing?"
asked Senator Mcclellan.
MY opinion is there is no
significant risk :" Mr..
Gerard replied.
Does it not have one advan-
tage. that it makes the plane
lighter" Senator Mcclellan
asked.
1T has a distinct advantage
that 1t makes the plane light
err" Mr.. Gerard said. "In fact,
I would question the use of any
other metal in this applica-
ltion.",

that the Defense Department
work statement inviting bids on
the Tx plane suggested the
possible use of titanium. The
schedule, he said, said the plane
should be produced from read
lily available raw materials, and
then added:
However, special considera-
ton shall be given to use of
titanium with a view to reduc-
ing weight Of the aircraft"
Senator Mcclellan asked the
witness: IF they were not go
ing to approve titanium, why
put that in the work state
ment?"
II do not know, SIR" Mr.,
Sorensen replied. q. this is a
new experience to me-"
The witness testified that
subsequently the Air Force laid
down qualifications on the use
of the metal. He added that
these were followed by Boeing
Use of titanium probably will
be specified in the supersonic
transport program, which Pres
ident Kennedy has ordered. the
subcommittee also was told.
Held of No Risk
Ward w. Minkler of the
Titanium Metals Corp. of Amer
lea testified that the use of
the metal as proposed by Boe-
ing in its design carried no
risk.

for Sheriff

Deputy Sheriff Andrew P.

candidacy for the office of

&c in the office as sheriff and

support of county voters.
His statement follows:
TO THE VOTERS OF HOL-
MES N
I respectfully announce my
candidacy for the office OF
Sheriff and Tax Collector,
subject to your action in the
Democratic Primaries this
summer.
You have been good to me.
for which / certainly thank
you. You permitted me to
serve as your Sheriff from
1856 to 1860. From 1860 to the
present time / have been SER
wing as Deputy Sheriff.
BY approving a Constitu-
tional Amendment which
would allow a Sheriff to sue
coed himself, the people OF
Mississippi have indicated
that they believe that eKper-
fence in the Sheriff's Office
is a valuable asset to them.
During the period of time that
/ have worked for you as a
law enforcement officer, /
have done my best to learn
the duties and the law per-
tanning to the Sheriff's Office,
and also to receive training
in the modern methods of
crime detection and law en-
forcement.
In this critical period OF
time through which our
Country Is passing, l have
done my best to see that pea
ce and quiet prevail over the
homes in Holmes County.
During the past seven years
crimes of violence have been
sharply reduced in your Coun-
ty. In addition, it seems a
fair stateme nt to say that the
liquor traffic is no longer a
real problem with us.
The Sheriff's Office belongs
to you, and 1t is on the basis
Of the experience, which you
have enabled me to receive
that / ask you to elect me to
this office for the four year
period beginning next JAN
uary. Should you elect me. I
pledge you my best in every
way.
