The story of American aviation has been one of
steady progress and achievement since the first un-
certain heavier-pian-air flight at Kitty Hawk, N C., In
1903. Yet, in viewing the recent functional failures of
the TFX jet fighter plane, one wonders if we are be-
ginning to regress.
Recently an F-111A, the Air Force version of the
TFX, crashed and exploded while landing at Nellis Air
Force Base in Nevada. It was not an Isolated incident
American pilots know It as but the most recent in a
series of TFX crashes which have taken a tragic toll in
lives and material resources.
Last May, an Air Force F-111A scheduled for service
in Vietnam crashed Into the southwestern desert. Later
three more of the Air Force models failed over Viet-
nam, killing several servicemen in each instance. Early!or levying on wages arc taken
in September a Navy F-111B crashed off the coast of - ?nlv as a las> rf'sort aftpr the
Southern California, taking the lives of two men. In
addition, every crash costs the government more than
$6 million.
The ill-fated TFX was advanced by former Defense j
Secretary Robert McNamara as a jet fighter tailored
to the requirements of both the Navy and the Air Force. I
By in effect combining two planes In one, McNamara!
argued that the country could realize Important savings
In defense funds.
The final product meets none of these requirements.
American taxpayers have spent millions on a plane with
which neither the Navy nor the Air Force is particu-
larly happy. The Navy, discovered among other things j
that the plane is too heavy to land on aircraft carriers,
has cancelled purchase of the F-111B. The Air Force
has temporarily grounded the F-111A while Investiga-
tors seek the cause of the most recent crash.

We welcome the formation of Americans for Effec-

of Prof. Fred E. Inbau of Northwestern University’s law
»chool. If It lives up to its prospectus, it should go far
to keep the administration of justice on an even keel.
Never has the crime problem been more acute in this
country, yet never has there been more confusion over
the rights of society as a whole. To many it seems that
the criminal is getting more of a break than his victim,
AELE proposes to see that the public Is as well rep-
resented as the individual when basic rights are at issue
Joing Prof. Inbau in this effort are O. W Wilson,
retiring police superintendent; Richard B Ogilvte. presi-
dent of the county board and former sheriff, and well-
known attorneys Harold A. Smith, Alan S Ganz and
James R. Thompson. Their aim is to build a national

it may be responsible for the
fact that the French stay thin
despite their creamed sauce*

may consist of carrot and

sometime* wonder how I ever
got to be ITS pounds, com-

chronic indigestion. She was a
great musician, but a terrible

want to go on a Severe dieting

that, my appetite i# suddenly

By HENRY CATHCART
Central Pres* Washington Correspondent
ASHI.VGTON — There Is again serious discussion among
political leaders at dunging tbs way the United States
Meet* its presidents It Is stimulated, of course, by the outcome
of this year's political conventions which, some contend, did not
adequately reflect the preferences of the public
But the discussion is not confined to the
process by which delegates are selected tor the
two major political conventions. It extends
aim to the Electoral College, and this arises
because of the third party presidential candi-
dacy of former Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
Those who are groping to change the elec*
Mon machinery forsee that a set of candidate*,
only partially reflecting public preferences,
could produce an Electoral Cottage deadlock
that would be reaolved by a vote In the Bourn
of Representative* which, In turn, would fur-
ther frustrate the expressed desires of the
voting public.
Out of this set at assumptions comes several
proposals to change the machinery. Foremost
among them is a national primary election.
This would give the electorate the opportunity
to vote for men to become presidential candidates, tnd then vote
again for their preference In the November presidential elections.
Another proposal is that the president be chosen by popular
ballot, and not on the basis of the number and size of the state*
he wins.
The first proposal is being advocated primarily by dissident
Democrats who were followers of Sea. Eugene McCarthy and
feel they were cheated la delegate allocations from some of the
non-primary election states The second proposal is being put
forward primarily by Republicans who are seeking ways of wa-
tering down the expected Wallace inroads in the voting which
probably will wort against GOP presidential nominee Richard
M. Nixon
Thus, the advocate* of election reform are, in pert at leas*,
