A World War I Army fighter
pilot will step back over three
decades in his life Wednesday
when he arrives in Brownwood
to examine the wreckage of his
plane from a 1944 crash into
Lake Brownwood that changed

Ernest F. Boruski was a S-
year-old first lieutenant and a
flight instructor assigned to

mission about 10a.m. Saturday,

Two hours later, about noon,
as Boruski and his crew chief,
Cpl. Edward J. Peterson, also

sweep over Lake Brownwood,
an object above and in front of
the plane caught the pilot’s eye.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -
Striking Memphis firemen set
up picket lines today in front of
the all three of the city’s sani-
tation yards, halting nearly all
trash collection in this city of
800,000 people.
The new trouble came in the
third day of a strike by union
firefighters that has plunged the
city into a state of civil
emergency. c
Since the strike began the
city has been hit by hundreds of
fires, and Mayor Wyeth
Chandler said most of them
were set by striking fire-
fighters.
Four percent said the United
States should not be as strong,
and five percent were not sure.
Then the respondents were
asked whether the United States
is stronger in military terms
than the Soviet Union.
Only 17 percent rated this
country the more powerful mili-
tary force, with 37 percent rat-
ing Russia more powerful.
Thirty-five percent said the
countries are about equal and 11
percent were not sure.
