Last Two CAY "Cooney Birds'' Are Retired

ANCHORAGE R - The last two CAT transport planes assign ed to Elmendorf Air Force Base have left Alaska - ending an era of use of the craft by the military here.
 The transports affectionately known as Gooney Birds - left Elmendorf Tuesday bound for Davis Monthan AFB in Arizona and final retirement.
 For more than 20 years the de pendable Gooneys were the back bone of airlift operations around the world.
 There was gloom along the flight line here as the planes made their takeoffs The Air Force reported their departure with 'heavy hearts and deep feelings of nos talgia."
 One veteran airman commented: i've never been on a base with out them before - I just don't know what we'll do now that they're gone"
 The CAY has a longer active record of flying than any other aircraft currently in the Air Force inventory.
 It had it's first flight as the civilian DC-3 in February 1882, and was adopted by the Air Force , sometime prior to Pearl Harbor and given it's military designation ! of CAY "Skytrain."
 The Alaskan theater of opera tions first saw the Gooneys in late 1922, when the craft were pressed into service as command aircraft and later used to haul supplies and evacuate wounded from the Aleu- tian campaigns.
 GooneyS were the first aircraft to land at both the North and South Poles, and it was an Alaskan Air Command CAY that was the first to land at an ice island, in 1852, to establish the first of a i number of geophysical projects.

Archaeological
Field School

The University of Arizona's
Archaeological Field School for
1868 will be conducted from June
81 to August 16 in the western
half of the Fort Apache Indian
Reservation by the University of
Arizona's Department of Anthro-
pology and Arizona State Museum.
The field school to offer
courses of fieldtraining in archae-
illogical methods and research in
conjunction with new program
of excavation, will headquarter at
Grasshopper near Cibecue south
west of Show Low, Arizona. The
new site was made possible through
arrangements with the White
Mountain Apache Indian Tribe, said
DR.. Raymond H. Thompson. VA
associate rofe ssor of anthro-
pology and director of the field
school.
Thompson terms the mount ain
Gus region of the new Site "a rich
archaeological zone of considerable
importance in understanding the
interrelationships of the basic
Southwestern cultures. The
region els little known from an
archaeological point of view," he
said, "but previous U of A and
other work at Canyon Greek. .Tonto
Basin, Kinishba, Fore stdale, Pine
dale, Show Low. and Point of Pines
provides comparative base for
the research"
The field school, limited TO 20
students for the 1868 sessions,
Thompson said, "will offer par
ticipants practical experience in
field techniques of archaeology
Including excavation, observation
and recording, care of specimens.
laboratory analysis, and interpre-
tation." Courses offering eight
units of credit are scheduled for
both undergra aduate and graduate
levels.
Thompson said field school staff

members will include University

and Erne stene L. Green as lab

been conducted since the Forest

even bother to vote. This
genuine abstention is generally
ascribed to apathy and con-
fusion over just what was at
stake in the elections.
But officials stress that this
genuine abstention cannot be
identified with the "revolu-
tionary absentention" Of cast
ing blank ballots demanded by
the Peronists. The genuine
abStainers can be considered
as "neutrals" not necessarily
either for or against the
Peronists.
The other dramatic result Of
the election is the death blow
it seems to deal to the political
career of Mr.. Frondizi. Up un-
til the last minute, he was
trying to organize a National
Popular Front with the Per-
onists acceptable to the gov
eminent.
When that front was not
permitted, Mr.. Frondizi Or
dered his followers to join the
PeronisCs in abStairing. Mr..
Alende, a leader in Mr.. From
dizi's UCRI party refused to
heed this call. His showing
in the election results seems
to indicate that a majority of
the UCRI followed his lead
and not Mr.. Frondizi's.

British newspaper correspon-

poison gas against remote

the royalist cause.
Richard Beeston Of the Lon=

that seven died in the northern

lingering death.
President Nasser. can now
claim the distinction of being
the first person to employ
chemical warfare since Mus

Ethiopian tribesmen during the
30s," said Mr.. BeeSton in an
account of a three-day trek by
donkey and on foot to al
Kawma from Saudi Arabia.
Mr.. Beeston charged that
Egyptian aircraft deployed in
the Yemeni civil war dropped
a gas bomb on AL Kawma early
last month.
II approached the village late
at night. From than 100 yards
away, I could hear the cough

went on ceaselessly.
I'm the morning, villagers

ton" in the balloting last week,
they called for a general "a

Friday by the Peronist-con-
trolled General Confederation
of Labor. Its membership is
2.5 million.
In the face of the election
results, it remains to be seen
how the strike will go-if il
goes. It is believed here that
one of the reasons for the poor
Peronist showing is popular
rejection of the "regativism'
and Macchiavellian handling
of the movement by Peronist
lieutenants and their exiled
loss in Madrid.

worst affected villagers ! saw
Mohammed Nassr, IL, who had
a perpetual cough and deep
open wounds on his body, the
size of a half crown (about the
size Of a so cent piece) from
gas blisters.
The British newsman said he
was shown the remains of what
villagers claimed had been the
gas bomb.
"It was obviously a com
plicated piece Of machinery
probably beyond the engineer
ing capabilities of the Egypt.
ians. Since the Russian bloC
supplies all military equipment
for Egypt. it is likely that the
bomb was manufactured In
Russia or Czechoslovakia," Mr.
Beeston deduced.
The correspondent said medi-
cal supplies had been sent to
the villagers from the royalist
headquarters of the Imam
(king) Mohammed Al-Badr-
but they consisted of little more
than iodine and aspirin.
There is little doubt that
there have been at least three
or four other poison gas attacks
during the past month";" Mr.
Beeston reported. 'In my jour-
ney to AL Kawma, Egyptian
Ilyushin bombers were con-
stantly over, bombing and
strafing the din 6
villages.
Egyptian authorities have
denied to Western diplomats
that they are using poison gas,

PerOnists Lose Gamble
Last month Peru peacefully

The issue in the Argentine

whether enough Of the elector-
