Viet Nam Memorial Rites
For Capt. Rogers, Crew
Refugio.—A CBS News Spe-
cial of the Helicopter War in
Viet Nam, originally scheduled
to be shown nationally on Tues-
day, April 11, was rescheduled
for Tuesday, April 4. The Spe-
cial, which shows the aftermath
of the crash in which Captain
Guinn J. Rogers and three crew
members were killed, and the
memorial services for the crew
in Viet Nam, was shown by a
Houston television station.
Captain Rogers, formerly of
Refugio, was killed in action
South of Saigon January 23,
1967. He was the commander of
the Razorback platoon of the
120th Aviation Co. which con-
sisted of five or six “fire” heli-
copters.
Capt. Rogersr parents, Mr. and
Mrs. D. F. Rogers, live at 1404
Madison, Idabel, Oklahoma. His
brother, Larry Rogers, lives in
Refugio, while an uncle and
aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Kirk-
land, live in Woodsboro.
Morley Saffer, CBS Newsman,
was in charge of the film and
was with the “Razorback” pla-
toon three days prior to the
crash in which Capt. Rogers and
three crew members were kill-
ed. Other members of the
crew were: Warrant Officer
Julian Fincher, Jr., 22, Fairborn,
Ohio; Corp. Peter Maciel, Jr.,
20, Ft. Collins, Colorado; and
Spec. Four Michael Vitacco, 19,
New York, N.Y.
Following is a news story
which appeared in the Baltimore
Sun, January 22, 1967:
Several prisoners were taken
yesterday and today by armed
helicopters of the “Razorback”
platoon of the 120th Aviation Co.,
when crewmen leaped into chest-
deep water in rice paddies for
dramatic hand-to-hand battles
with the Viet Cong.
The first prisioner was cap-
tured yesterday when an armed
helicopter crew spotted five
V C moving through the tall
elephant grass and opened fire
with machine guns and rockets,
killing four. They swept in to
fire again and the survivor rais-
ed his hands, so the chopper
hovered over and the crew grab-
bed him. The choppers captur-
ed two more Viet Cong this af-
ternoon after knocking them
down with their landing skids
and then staging fist fights in
the rice paddies.
This dramatic part of the op-
eration occurred when Capt.
Guinn J. Rogers, 32, of Idabel,
Oklahoma, spotted three VC in
a paddy. Capt. Rogers made a
firing pass and the enemy duck-
ed under water.
When the Viet Cong emerged
for lack of air, Rogers moved in
and bashed one with his heli-
copter’s skids. His crewman
jumped into the chest-deep wa-
ter and wrestled one VC aboard
the craft where they subdued
him.
A second VC arose firing a
machine gun at Rogers’ ship
while trying to support a wound-
ed companion.
The cover chopper, flown by
Second Lt. Brent C. York, 26,
of Orem, Utah, and Warrent Of-
ficer Emory L. Herrick, 22, of
Hillcrest Heights, Md., roared in
and smashed him with its skids.
The wounded man slid off into
the water and drowned while
crewmen battled the survivor
aboard. They held a pistol to his
head to subdue him. The chop-
pers then flew their prisoners
to the command post.
This story is typical of what
our young soldiers are doing in
Viet Nam. Most of us at home
don’t realize the sacrifice that
our soldiers in Viet Nam are
making and the courage and
dedication that each possess.
•On 'December 6, 1966, Capt.
Rogers’ chopper was credited
with killing 34 VC and thwarting
the Viet Cong night attack on
the Ton Son Nhut Air Base at
Saigon. For this action and oth-
er missions he had been award-
ed the Army Accommodations
Medal, and recommended for
two Distinguished Flying Cros-
ses, Two Bronze Stars, and the
highest award our country gives,
the Medal of Honor.
Larry Rogers reports a spokes-
man for one of the Corpus
Christi TV stations said there
is a possibility the film might
be shown at a later date.
March Traffic Fatalities

'Corpus Christi.—Rural traffic
wrecks during March took four-

AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY f.
Breast Cancers Usually
Are Discovered by Women
Ninety-five per cent of breast
cancers are discovered by the
women themselves.
This is a sizable number
when you consider that an esti-
mated 64,000 women in the Unit-
ed States will develop breast
cancer in 1967.
Unfortunately, many of these
women will make the discovery
too late for effective treatment.
Studies have shown tha when
breast cancer is localized, be-
fore spreading from its place of
origin, the number of women
alive, without evidence of the
disease, five years after treat-
ment is 82 per cent.
If the cancer has spread be-
yond its place of origin before
treatment is begun, the survival
rate is a tragically low 47 per
cent.
The answer to the disparity
between the 47 per cent and the
82 per cent is the personal vigil-
ance of all women.
This fact and the high inciden-
ce of the disease prompted the
American Cancer Society, in set-
ting five-year achievement goals
in 1965, to give breast cancer
control a high priority. The So-
ciety hopes that by 1970 at least
50 per cent of all women can be
persuaded to practice breast
self-examination on a monthly
basis. This would drastically re-
duce breast cancer deaths which
amount to almost 27,000 in 1966,
making cancer of this site the
leading cause of cancer death
among women.
The American Cancer Society,
which has placed great empha-
sis since 1950 on persuading
women to practice breast self-
examination, fixed the goal of
50 per cent as one that could
be achieved, even though it is
only half of what. the ideal
would be.
A careful examination of the
breasts each month may reveal
a lump or lumps not normally
there. Such lumps could mean
cancer and should be called to
the attention of a physician with-
out delay.
Presence of such lumps
should not cause undue alarm.
The chances are that the physi-
cian will find that they are not
cancer but are due to some
other cause. In fact, most
lumps will be found to be be-
nign. But if it is cancer, the

chances of effective treatment
are greatly increased if it is
detected early.
This much is known about
breast cancer: probably starting
with a single cell, it begins to
grow in an unregulated manner.
As wild cells multiply, they
form a tumor which can even-
tually be felt. If the cancer is
permitted to grow, it pushes
aside normal tissue to invade
surrounding tissue and to trav-
el through the lymphatic and
blood systems to other parts of
the body, to grow and multiply.
Unless cancers are removed or
destroyed, they will eventually
cause death. Vigilance and ac-
tion, not ignorance and fear and
inaction, are the best weapons
against this death threat.
