WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON MAY 13, 1964 FIVE CENTS PER COPT NO. 1M U. S. Sending Bombers To South Viet Nam WASHINGTON (UPI) — The first planes in a newly modified fleet of U. S. bombers “are en route now and will arrive in South Viet Nam early next month,” the Pentagon disclosed today. The planes are two-seater Doug las A1E Skyraiders, propeller-dri ven aircraft. The fleet is expected to be bi ought speedily to a total of 75 planes, each with approximately three times the load-carrying ca pacity of the 72 U S. bomber types previously sent to South Viet Kami. The disclosure came from Air f orce Secretary Eugene M. Zuck ert in answer to charges that American pilots havg been dying ^ in obsolete planes ill South Viet . Nam. '' Concedes Some Failures Zuckert conceded two and possi bly more cases of structural fail ure in the earlier planes, but said losses had been primarily due to “the increased effectiveniess of Communist Viet Con anti-aircraft fire.” Kelley Didn't Make The Rule Harnett school Supt. Glenn T. Prof fit said today that the 8:00 to 4:00 schedule for teachers was ad opted by mutual consent at a meet ing of principals and members of his staff in August, 1961. Mr. Proffit said the rule grew out of general discussion with the principles on how the quality of education generally might be im proved in the schools. The action of the superintendent, assistant super intendent, principals, and supervi sory staff was later approved by the Board of Education. A news story in this newspaper last week stated that Beamon Kelley assistant county superintendent for instruction was the person who had MdJdeWd that school teacherjjgttist jTjfrMl nn the job until 4:OOHM|M. This (tnenlt: Was In error. Supt. Proffit, said today that Mr. Kelley did not initiate the sche dule that he was simply carrying out instructions from his superiors in seeing that the rule was enforced. The Hame't Classroom Teach ers’ Association recently requested that the board of Education modify the schedule to allow teachers to leave school a half hour earlier on Fridays and on those days when th«y were required to attend pro fessional meetings. This request was unanimously granted at the last meeting of the board of education. Mr. Proffit stated that the re quirements of the schedule have been flexible from the beginning, principals have full discretion In the matfer of excusing teachers early. They have been encouraged to exercise their authority so as not to work a hardship on any teacher. The Dailv Record regrets very much that Mr. Kellev was erron eously credited with being entirely resDonsible for this schedule and Is happy to make this correction. m ^ Ian CK ;ing « WINNERS — Two repr; Iwing .iij Pejsi’s^big $1,86 prMBfative1 ,™u.8 - __D.

Rockefeller and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon demonstrated vote - getting power In West Virginia and Ne braska primaries Tuesday but Sen. Barry Goldwater salted away an other cluster of convention votes from three states. Rockefeller, running unopposed in the West Virginia GOP primary, won nearly two-thirds of the vote — a showing bettar than had been expected. However, the results are not bind ing on the state’s 14 delegates. As matters stand, Goldwater, although not on the ballot, Is expected to net at least three and possibly more convention votes, with two for Rockefeller and nine still publicly uncommitted. The Rockefeller camp claimed a “moral victory” for the New Yorker and hoped his showing would per suade the non-committed West Vir ginia delegates to swing to his side in San Francisco. In Nebraska, Goldwater won an easy victory and his backers pre dieted Goldwater was assured of 15 of the state’s 16 convention votes. On the other hand, Nixon scored with a write-in vote of about 30 per cent and Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge had a write-in of about half that size. ft Savs Moore County Supporting Him Gilmore Reports Home Boost Volt Gilmore, candidate for State Senate from Southern Pines, today told The Dally Re cord that a pro-Gilmore gather ing of Democrats at the Moore County convention last Saturday gave his candidacy a strong for ward thrust. “It was a harmonious meeting.

I entered it, and now Moore County is going to support me.” HA ADVANCE NOTICE Gilmore had previously issued a statement talcing issue with the claim of W. P.

Jordan Brands Case Proposal As Insulting WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., asked the Senate today to broaden the Bobby Baker inquiry to cover the conduct of its members and the handling of campaign contribu tions. The Delaware senator, who insti gated the investigation into the business and financial affairs of the former Senate Democratic secretary, introduced an amend ment to his original resolution to specifically include senators in the probe. I Williams said he was prompted by a ruling given Tuesday bp spe cial counsel Lennox P. McLendon, who said the original resolution did not contain authority for the rules committee to investigate ac tivities of senators. Williams also amended the ori ginal resolution to keep the inves tigation alive until Sept. 1. It was scheduled to expire at the end of this month. Sen. Clifford P. Case, R-N.J., urged the rules committee Tues day to question each senator a bout any business dealings with Baker. Sen. B. Everett Jordan, D N.C., chairman of the committee, charged that Case had reached the "height of demagoguery” and said his proposal was an insult.
