Highway Needed
At an early date the property holding voters of Hockley Coun-
ty will be asked to decide whether a four-lane highway will be
built to Levelland from Reese Air Force Base and also to de-
ckle whether the lateral paved roads be repaired or rebuilt.
This decision is one of vital importance.
The truth of the matter is, the four lane road should have
been built some years ago—its need was there, hut no one seem-
ingly thought enough of the matter to bring it up.
It was not until Attorney Alvin Allison broached the matter to
toe Levelland Area Chamber of Commerce that it was given any
serious thought at all.
The Chamber of Commerce then appointed Alvin Allison as
chairman of toe Good Roads Committee, and he immediately
' went to work on toe project, contacting Joe Harrison and Os-
car Crow in Lubbock, asking them to consider toe widening of
toe highway. An immediate survey was made, and then Mr.
Allison contacted the Hockley County Commissioners Court
who asked for a designation of toe four lane highway. At toe
same time he called friends of his in Austin who are members
of toe Highway Commission, and toe money was alloted for the
building of toe highway.
However, that is just the start of the project—toe county has
to be out a certain amount of money for right-of-way, approxi-
mately $500,000. But toe state will spend $4 million dollars
building the highway, which is about $8 to $1.
Now, since toe designation has been made and the money
earmarked for this highway, it is now up to the voters of Hock-
ley County to do their part by voting toe bond issue. At toe same
time another issue will be presented to the people asking for
a 25 cent levie on the hundred dollars valuation for the re-
building of lateral roads in toe county.
There are some 150 miles of these roads, and if you don’t
think they need rebuilding try to drive over them sometime—
some of them are so rough they would break toe axel on a farm
wagon. If these roads are not attended to soon there will be no
pavement left. An engineer has estimated that it will take $5000
a mile to build these roads, if toe county does all toe dirt work,
which it is stated they plan to do.
Here is something to think about. There is one fact to remem-
ber, Hockley Cowty has no bonded indebtedness, and its rec-
ord is such that bonds can be sold at low interest rates.
There is another fact to consider, at toe present time the
county would have toe aid of the oil interests in paying off toe
bonds, which will lighten toe load on toe individual tax payer.
This is something for you to chew on and think about-let’s
keep Hockley Coixity toe most progressive county in toe state
by voting for toe road bonds when they come up for consider-
ation.

/4 Special Repent
Lethal New Weapons
By ROBERT TUCKMAN
SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(AP) — The target was toe Yen
Bai military complex 80 miles
northwest erf Hanoi.
From airbase* in Thailand,
UJ5. jet bombers swept across
North Viet Nam to the Red Riv-
er V alley.
They smothered Yen Bai with
thousands of lethal “bomblets”.
The noise was terrifying.
The Yen Bai raid was one of
the moat successful of the war.
U.S. officers claimed it wiped
out 25 antiaircraft sites and toe
crews manning them. It left
Yen Bai In flames.
The weapon largely responsi-
ble was toe CBl' or cluster
bomb unit.
It is one of a large catalogue
of new or improved weapons
providing American and allied
forces with an awesome amount
of firepower.
Matching this weapons arsen-
al are guerrilla-fighting tactics
which, like toe weapons, have
been devised for or adapted to
the jungles and paddies of South
Viet Nam. The Viet Cong soldier
still retains his main counter
"weapon" of elusiveness. He
burrows into the ground in tun-
nels or holes, or "melts Into ths
countryside’
a peasant, or
fades across the borders of
neighboring Cambodia and
Laos.
Except for the Yen Bai raid
late last spring, the cluster
bomb unit has been used largely
against Viet Cong guerrillas In
South Viet Nam.
Primarily an antipersonnel
weapon, the CBU is a canister
containing some 800 bomblets
with orange noses and silvery
tail fins.
They are blown from the can-
ister by compressed air, show-
er down to earth in bursts of
light and overpowering noise.
The effect has been likened to
hurling 800 extra-powerful hand
grenadss at the enemy.
In recent months napalm has
been added to toe bomblets and
toe pellets hit their target with
both fire and steel.
Another weapon of feerMtne
firepower lathe "Dr agon Ship,"
sometimes called "Puff, the
Magic Dragon." Twin engine
C47 planes, the old reliable of
World War n, carry three
each with six rotating

ths door.
gtais, si
barrels.
Fired at the same time, toe
machine guns can spit out 18,000
rounds per minute.
The Dragon Ships also make
use of toe new “star light" tele-
scopic gunsight. This gathers
and amplifies dim light in night
operations. In a recent action, a
star light scope caught 200 ene-
my troops moving along toe Ho
Chi Minh trail and toe Dragon
Ship* nearly wiped them out.
Tactically, B52 bombers can
unload tons of explosives on
guerrilla concentrations or
base camps from such high alti-
tudes that toe Vied Cong never
hear or see them.
The eight-engine bombers
carry 500 -750 and 1,000-pound
bombs. They fly In above toe
weather at 40,000 feet and rain
explosives on a target by radar
control.
Also tactically , jet fighter-
bombers provide sir support for
ground operations that is un-
matched in any previous con-
flict.
American pilots average 400
to 500 sorties a day; South Viet-
namese pilots fly an additional
100 to 200 sorties.
Marriage Without Whimper
(For Cynthia Lowry)
EDITOR'S NOTE — It takes a
strong, secure, well-adjusted
fellow to marry a well-known
woman in show business. Allen
Ludden did just that and here
tells, without a whimper, what
it’s like to be — but only occa-
sionally — hailed as Mr. Betty
White. And Betty wasn't sure he
should write this column.
NEW YORK (AP) — Among
toe many notable things that
have happened to me since the
advent of a little television
game called Password has been
the fact that I am called so
many different things. You may
take that any way you wish, but
what I mean is that people call
me different names.
Because they see me on toe
tube in the afternoon, they asso-
ciate me with my electronic
neighbor I lnkletter and I'm
hailed as "Art”.So, I answer.
Because I emcee a game
show, they call me "Bud,” as in
Collyer.
Because I wear glasses and
belong to that venerable group
known as television hosts, I get
"Bill” for Bill Cullen, I guess.
But the one I enjoy the most
is "Hey, there’s toe guy who
married Betty WhiteI”It’s been
three years now since Betty and
1 married and I've become
something of an authority on
Betty White fans.
Let me make it clear at toe
outset that I have nothing but
toe heartiest respect for these
people! Obviously 1 respect
their taste. I married the girl!
Moet of them look upon me as a
Johnny - come - lately. They've
known her much longer than I
have.
There is a very large group
who remember Betty from toe
“Al Jarvis Days”. She was
doing a 5^-hour dally local
•how in Los Angeles. There
weren't many television sets to
begin with (I kid Betty about
being a star of the silent TV)
and it was a local show. Yet
these people turn up all over toe
country.
When we married we had 9,-
000 cards and at least 6,000 of
them mentioned Al Jarvis,
They usually went on to men-
tion "Life with Elizabeth,"too,
because off of her Al Jarvis
friends followed on to tost ser-
ies. They were joined by armies
of new and vigilantly faithful
followers.
A lot of them must have been
about 10 at the tone, but they
loved "Life wtto Elizabeth."
I’ve read some of the scripts
just lately, and the reason those
shows were so popular la that
they were very, very fomy.
Betty ia constantly amazed to
have teen-agers today come up
to her to tell her that har'a was
their favorite show whan they
were kids.
Then there are the hard-core
fans or, even better, friends,
who have known Betty through
"Lite with Elisabeth", "Dete
with the Angela", «td "TheBet-
ty White Show", which wee her
daytime NBC network show.
These are the people from all
over the country who know
about her love of animals, her
jokes, her favorite songs, her
wide streak of sentimentality,
her curiosity.
They fallow Betty’s every
move. They write regularly.
Their generosity is embarrass-
ing. But their affection is so
genuine and their intentions are
so right, one could only be
touched by their gestures.
1 think 1 can safely say that
moet of the hard-core fans are
glad that Betty and I married.
