Community.
Dear Miss Leake;
I have just returned from a
ten day trip which included
Honolulu, Clark Air Base,
Saigon, Bien Hoa, and To-
kyo. This was my first trip
into Bien Hoa and it proved
to be very exciting. Upon
approach, we flew over a
small island which is under
control of the Viet Cong. At
that time, we witnessed our
U. S. aircraft dropping bo-
mbs. We could also see
fighting taking place In the
surrounding areas. In many
respects, Bien Hoa is a ve-
ry dangerous place to land.
However, It is a U. S. air-
strip and there are no Viet-
namese allowed near or on
our ship. Considering this,
all of our crew fell that It
is much safer than the Lan
Son Nhut airport in Saigon.
Once again, I watched the
faces of our young men in
uniform as we were making
the final approach for land-
ing. Thé expressions are
ing at one of a variety ui
technical school- throughout
the country.

enough to tear your heart
out. There is surprise, fe-
ar, and wonder in their eyes.
I feel that we are taking them
for slaughter—our boys of
America are certainly a bra-
ve sort. We never say good
bye—it Is always "See you
in a year I" I often wonder
how many will we see in
twelve months 7
1 leave again on the sec-
ond for Honolulu, Clark, O-
klnawa, and Tokyo. It will
only be an eight day trip.
One reason that 1 am wri-
ting is to tell you of the
strange event in Tokyo. We
do wear a strange uniform
and most people know that
Branlff is a Texas airline.
While I was sitting in the
lobby of the Tokyo Hilton
on 29 January waiting for
transportation to Yokota,Air
Base, I started talking to a
gentleman. He wanted to
know why Braniff was flying
so far West. I explained a-
bout our military contract
and then he mentioned that
he was meeting a young cou-
ple from East Texas for din-
ner. As a passing thought,
1 asked the name of the cou-
ple. You can imagine my
surprise when the man said
Jim Swink and his wife, Ma-
ry. I ran over to the desk
to write him a note—and then
discovered that our transpor-
tation would be delayed for
an hour. When they arrived,
I visited with them for an hour
talking of Rusk. He and Tru-
man Hugghlns were very good
friends through their high sc-
hool years. He also deliv-
ered both of Charlotte Hen-
drick's children. It was like
"old homewaek" in Tolyo—
of all places. He was on a
six day leave (R &R) from
Viet Nam and Mary took a
flight over to be with him.
He has only seven months to
complete before coming back
to the States. We nver know
what to expect on one of
these trips. This Is a small
world.
I enjoyed your Christmas
letter so much. It was won-
derful of you to take the time
to write to me.
On the past trip, we saved
some fresh milk from Hon-
olulu. When the airplane
landed at Lan Son Nhut, we
asked how long It would lie,
on the ground. Since there
were two free hours, we ask-
ed to be taken to the hos-
pital. Each girl had a sack
of milk containing ten quarts
of milk. As you know, there
is only canned or «combin-
ed milk west of Honolulu.
Our thanks were the wonder-
ful smiles of the wounded men
in the beds. We visited with
them for an hour and were
urged to return soon. The
nurses were so pleased that
we took the time and effort
to cheer our men In uniforms
and the milk was the best
gift that anyone could bring.
Everyone in the wards had
a small glass - 1 felt like
Santa. All of them seen to
ask the same question about
the burning of draft cards.
They cannot believe that A-
mericans would really dothls.
What a wonderful group of
men we have fighting for our.
country. It certainly makes
me proud. Everytlme 1 take
one of these trips I say a
silent prayer of thanks for
our republic. Thank God —
I am an American.
Much Love,
nioma

Now, from American Motors,
the car that wasn't there.
This may well be the most important news to come
out of Detroit this year.
A major gap has developed in today's automobile
market—a gap that no American-built car is filling.
Because thisgapexists, over 1,000,000car buyers
a year have not been able to get the car they wanted:
a car for the American motorist at a list price com-
petitive to foreign imports.
Today, American Motors' new management and
nearly 2,500 American Motors/Rambler Dealers
are filling that gap.
As of today, we are limiting future changes in our
Rambler Afnerican line to essential changes that will
further enhance the safety and reliability of thesecars.
This will save us millions of dollars-and we and our
dealers are passing the savings along to you now
This means that the Rambler American 220 twft
door sedan that yesterday listed at $2,073 now lists
at $ 1,839? It means that today, your American
Motors/Rambler Dealer has put new price stickers
on all nine Rambler American models.
For years, Rambler American has been the best
value in an American automobile. Today, priced
competitive to imported cars, it is the best auto-
mobile value in the world.
This week on television, we promised you excit-
ing news from American Motors.
This is only the beginning.
