Military sources point out a Viet

in northeast Thailand would be
the final step in the formation of
a bridge of Communist positions

This bridge extends from north

Furs that stay home for the summer usually come to

moths they almost always come out second best. Smart
furs (that is, furs with smart owners) come to our

grow even more beautiful. And miiths simply haven't

M FIRST MONT TO HOKE
By RUTHERFORD POATS
TOKYO, April 28 >C.R>—Thirty-
five happy American soldiers,
freed from Communist imprison-
ment, took off from Honolulu, San
Francisco and home Tuesday in the
first flight of the Army's "Opera-
tion Freedom."
Eight of them were on stretch-
ers—but all were homeward bound
front the horrors of Communist
prison camps in which thousands
of their comrades had perished.
They took off at 3:56 p. m.
(12:55 a.m. Tuesday est from Tok-
yo International Airport under a
beating, hot, bright sun in an im-
mense G-97 transport plane, mili-
tary version of the Boering Stra-
tocrulser, on the 13-hour flight to
Honolulu.
Blonde Nurse is Escort
They wore new uniforms, with
Eisenhower jackets, and the in-
signia of their old outfits wen-
back on their sleeves.
To care for them on the flight
back across the Pacific, which
they first crossed to fight for a
free world, was a double crew of
medics and nurses—one of them a
luscious, wolf-whistle blonde. And
they were in a wolf-whistle mood.
They will be followed in succeed-
ing days by 114 of their comrades,
released with them under the
agreement with the Communists
for exchange of sick and wounded
Korean war prisoners.
Bands Play For Departure
Army bands blared in front of
the two hospitals in which tho (its
had gone through final processing
as they came out and piled into
ambulances for the ride through
the streets of Tokyo.
Relaxed at last, from the months
or years of strain and suffering
they had endured at Communist
hands, the soldiers had the vigor
and sprightliness of meif fresh
from the United States.
When the GIs got into their
plane, they found they were buck
in the Army. The big plane—a top-
plush one in civilian flights—was
of the "bucket seat" type with
flat canvas seats running length-
wise along each side of the inter-
Unless the pilot decides to make
m interim stop for refuelling, the
plane ought to be in Honolulu a-
oout 1:55 p. m. est, and their feet
vvill touch American soil for the
first time.
According to information here,
•hey probably will stay overnight
in Honolulu and take off for San
Francisco Wednesday morning.
At Travis Air Force Base, Fair-
field-Suisin, Calif., the GIs will
take other planes for home, fami-
lies and sweethearts.
Eleven Killed In
Boiler Explosion
GUATANAMO, Cuba, April
'U.P—A boiler room explosion
board the U. S. aircraft carrier
Bennington about 50 miles off-
shore from this naval base caused
the death of 11 members of the
crew.
The U. S. naval base authorities
here said four other persons ab-
oard the Bennington were injured
in th* explosion Monday while the
flat top was engaged in maneuvers
between Guantanamo and Puerto
Rico.
Naval authorities refused to iden-
tify the men who were killed in
the blast until next of kin have
been notified.
The navy said the ship was nav-
igating at a low rate of speed at
the time of the explosion. A board
of officers was appointed to inves-
tigate the accident.
There are more than 290 tobac-
co auction warehouses in North
Carolina, thv nation's leading to-
bacco producer.
Snow falls in June' in Austra-
lia. and Christmas can be so hot
that bathing beaches are crowded.

HOUSTON, April 28 (U.R1—TV
Texas Medical Association opened
its convention proper Tuesday aft-
r visiting doctors attended a ee-
rie* of specialized meetings which
blasted socialized medicine a
jomething attempted and proved
unsuccessful since before the time
of Christ.
Eighty or more pupers on medi-
cal subjects of every kind will be
presented during the three-day an-
nual convention of medical men.
It was Dr. Edward J. McCor-
mick, president of the Americat.

suid forms of socialized medicine
had been tried even before Christ's
oirth, and hadn't worked then and ,
wouldn't work now. "
Di. Truman Terrell of Fort

echoed those sentiments. He said «>
•social security benefits should be

MILEAGE MAKER "6 WINS SWEEPSTAKES!
Score a blazing victory for Ford's dollar-saving gas economy! Ford's high-
comprestrion Mfleage Maker "6" with Overdrive beat every car entered
in thk year's MobOgas Economy Run, regardless of size or weight, to
sweep the sweepstakes! Ford's winning average was 56.70 ton-miles per
gallon.* And Ford's high-compression 110-h.p. Strato-Star V-8 with
Overdrive was right up there in economy, too, with a record of 48.55
ton-miles per gallon!
The winning Ford was a regular production car, jxist like thousands
of other '63 Fords you see on the road today. This 1,206-mile trip from
Los Angeles to Sun Valley covered all types of driving conditions. The
route threaded through city traffic, where stop-and-go driving tests an
engine's fuel economy under the toughest conditions ... and out along
the highways of four western states.
The Ford Mfleage Maker "6" toon an tms m stride, maintaining
a speed above the required 44.25 m.p.h. minimum, to finiah 1st in the
sweepstakes! What better proof is there that Ford is the thriftiest car
of all? What better way to show why Ford is worth more when you
buy it;;. worth more when you sell it!
