Americans Pushing
Var’s Hardest Hits
By Associated Press
American B-52’s continue
their heaviest raids of the war
against North Vietnam. Bad
weather curtailed fighter-
bomber missions over the north
again, but the lower-flying
planes were active in South
Vietnam. And the U.S. Com-
mand announces the loss of a
Navy A-Seven “Corsair.” It’s
the ninth American plane lost in
the past five days. The pilot was
rescued after ejecting into the
sea.
He had tried to make a
hazardous night landing on the
carrier “Saratoga” but
misjudged the apprach and
smashed into the deck. He
managed to get the jet airborne
again but was forced to eject
before he could reach the air
base at Da Nang.
On the ground, fighting is
reported near Quang Tri City, in
the Central Highlands and near
the Cambodian Border nor-
thwest of Saigon.
Some 10,000 people turned out
in Tay Ninh City today for the
funeral of a former Coa Dai
Military leader. The Cao Dai is
the largest religious sect in
South Vietnam, oustide Bud-
dhism and Roman Catholicism.
Retired general was killed last
Wednesday when a bomb ex-
ploded outside his home on the
Cao Dai Temple grounds in Tay
Ninh. The Saigon government
nlames the Viet Cong for the
assassination.
Jack Lynch
Of Ireland in
London Today
WHAT NOW for John Connally, who headed Demo-
crats-for-Nixon, is a question in Washington with Presi-
dent Nixon picking and choosing for his new admin-
istration.
LONDON — The Prime
Minister of the Irish Republic,
Jack Lynch, is in London today
for another meeting with
British Prime Minister Edward
Heath. Previous meetings
between the two leaders have
ended in frigid disagreement
over the northern Ireland
situation. But this time the
portents are more hopeful. The
British issued a policy
statement recently that said
any settlement in the north
must take account of what it
called “The Irish dimension,”
or the views of the Dublin
government. Lynch, for his
part, has been taking a tougher
stand against IRA guerrillas
operating across the border.
He repeated this stand in a
speech last night to the Oxford
Union, the debating society of
England’s oldest university.
The studetnt debaters, in-
cidentally, gave Lynch a vote of
357 to 111 in favor of Irish unity.
FRONT ROW ARE THE COVENANT PLAYERS, a feature of the well-attended deeply spiritual and dram-
atic All-Church Thanksgiving Community Service given at Baylor Baptist Church. They are, from left: Wil-
liam E. Vance, Mavis Janss and Patrick Henderson. On the second row are, from left: Rev. Harold Burns,
First Baptist Church pastor; Dr. Paul Stripling, Baylor Baptist pastor; Rev. John Dowd, First United Meth-
dist Church pastor, and Rev. Pete Smith, St. Thomas Episcopal rector, who appeared on the program. Two
ministers, sponsoring Pastors' Association President Richard T. Moody, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church,
and Rev. David Mikeska, assistant pastor, St. John Catholic Church, had to leave before picture-time.
Tex. Violence
Rises to 24
The latest Associated Press
tabulation lists 24 persons as
having been killed since the
Thanksgiving holiday death
count began at 6 p.m. Wed-
nesday night. Of that total, 15
deaths came on the state’s high-
ways. A travelers warning has
been issued in Southwest Texas
because of icy roadways.
Hwy. Patrolmen Speak
On Optimist Program
However, Lynch criticized
Britain’s intention to hld a
plebiscite next year on
reunification in Northern
Ireland. He says it will only
widen the rift between the
majority protestants and
minority Catholics.
