Indian Attacks
Are Driven Back
dk RAWALPINDI, Pakistan
^CP) — Pakistan claimed Sat-
urday it had repulsed Indian
attacks on the northern front
and had destroyed six planes,
four of them bombers.
A spokesman said the fighting
around Sialkot, about 120 miles
southeast of Rawalpindi, was on
a reduced scale Friday but four
more Indian tanks were
knocked out and Pakistani
forces “made some tactical
gains.” „
He gave these accounts of
fighting on two other sectors of
the front around Lahore, Pakis-
tan’s second largest city 80
miles south of Sialkot:
In the Wagah-Attari sector,
about 10 miles east of Lahore,
the Indian army launched three
attacks Friday. Pakistani artil-
lery and antitank weapons
broke up the drive. Seven In-
dian tanks were destroyed and
JO
Pakistan’s new claims bring*
their total of Indian tanks it
says have been destroyed to 422.
In the Khem Karan sector in
Indian territory southeast of
Lahore, Pakistani forces were
“pressing the enemy.” Indian
soldiers tried counterattacks
twice Friday but withdrew un-
der heavy fire, suffering casual-
ties.
In the air war, the spokes-
gk man said Pakistani fighters and
r bombers raided deep into Indian
territory during the night, hit-
ting an air base at Ambala. This
^ is 120 miles northwest of New
w Delhi and the same distance
east of the Pakistan border.
“At least four Canberra
bombers and technical installa-
tions were destroyed or dam-
aged,” the spokesman said. “All
our aircraft returned safely.”
The spokesman said two In-
dian British-built Gnat jets were
knocked out of the sky Saturday
in the Kasur sector, about 30
miles southeast of Lahore.
Dead is 16-year-old Tracy
Youngren, a Fort Stockton stu-
dent. Rex Childers, 16, also of
Fort Stockton, was injured in
the accident.
According to Highway Patrol-
man Jody Fore of Monahans,
the accident occurred at the in-
tersection of Farm-to-Market
roads 1053 and 1233, commonly
known as the “Crane cutoff.”
The McAnallys were report-
edly on their way to Crane to
see the Kermit eighth grade foot-
ball team play the Crane eighth
graders.
Fore said the McAnally car
was traveling south when it was
in collision with a late-model
foreign auto headed east and
driven by the dead youth. Chil-
ders was a passenger in the
Youngren auto. Fore said a stop
sign controls north-south traf-
fic at the intersection.
The accident victims were
rushed to Ward Memorial Hos-
pital where Youngren was pro-
nounced dead on arrival. The
others were admitted but Mrs.
McAnally was transferred to
Medical Center Hospital in Odes-
sa. McAnally was moved to Wink-
ler County Memorial Hospital.
The son was treated and released.
Hospital officials in Odessa re-
ported Mrs. McAnally’s condition
was “improved” late Saturday.
She suffered head injuries. Mc-
Anally was reported in good con-
dition in Kermit. He sustained
head and back injuries,
Fulton, another Kermit,
youth, was a passenger in ttie
McAnally- car. He escaped in-
jury in the accident.
Highway Patrol Sergeant Leon
Roberts of Fort Stockton worked
the accident with Fore.

Sneath attended public schools
in Odessa and later Odessa Jun-
ior College where he was head
of the OC publications photo de-
partment. While there, he won
several photographic awards, in-
cluding ribbons in the annual
Southwest Intercollegiate Photo
Salon at Texas A&M University.
Before transferring to Tech,
he worked briefly as a photog-

In accepting the position of
managing editor, Sneath said, “It
is my desire to provide the resi-
dents of Kermit, Wink and Jal
with a first-class, prize-winning
daily newspaper. This, however,
cannot be done without the co-
operation of the readers.”
“I ask,” Sneath said, “that our
readers notify the paper of any
event or happening which they
feel is newsworthy. In this way,”
he continued, “The Daily Sun
and The Winkler County News
will better be able to provide
local news that is of vital con-
cern and interest to the people
of this area.”
Sneath said that for the past
few weeks the paper has been
working without a full staff. “This
has been taken care of,” he said,
“and now we are ready to provide
the best local coverage possible
for kermit, Wink and Jal.”
He added that with the advent
of football season several in-
quiries had reached the news-
paper concerning the where-
abouts of that fearless, daunt-
less forecaster — Amos Fuddle.
“Amos has been on vacation and
has just returned,” Sneath said.
“But, he is rested and appears
as befuddled as ever. I believe
he will be up to making a fore-
cast for next week’s game.”
