Army-Air Maneuver
LOMETA, Tex.. March 15 IIP—
Twenty-five hundred men of the
82nd Airhourne division made a
practice .iump for the biggest U.
S. Army-Air Force maneuver in
history Saturday and medical of-
ficers reported 25 suffered frac-
tures or probable fractures and 13
suffered sprains.
^ The worst injured was an uni-
dentified major who broke a shoul-
der and arm, but who, twisting in
pain, ordered a medical corpsman
to attend to an injured private first
class before treating him.
"I have made 99 jumps and this
one got me.” the maior groaned.

Maj. Gen. Charles D. W. Can-

said the injuries were not above
normal. Thirty thousand specta-

howitzer dropped in the fields
near Lometa.
The men dropped in three pass-
es of troop carrier planes, covered
by jets and F-47 propelior-driven
fighters. Canham delayed the
jump two hours until 15 to 20-mile-
an-hour winds had subsided to re-
duce the proportion of injuries.
The drop was practice for Oper-
^ ation Long Horn, which will begin
*• next Thursday and will determine
whether an infantry can be flown
from 1,100 miles away to beat
back an enemy invasion of the
continental U. S. The 82nd Air

High school band musicians from
14 bands in two regions joined in

Mr. Bynum gave talks and hints
and there were several individual
exhibition numbers. At noon the vis-

Sweetwater band, was in general
charge ot‘ the clinic and presented
his band in a concert during the
afternoon.

explained that there is a differ-

particular effort to open up wells.

Easing Red Pressure’
“The Korean war is seriously
straining the industrial capacity
of Rusisan heavy industry, easing
Communist pressure on other glo-
bal fronts. I believe that the larg-
est slice of the Soviet industrial
pie is being consumed by the Chi-
nese and North Korean armies in
Korea
“Realizing the drain on the So-
viet capacity for military produc-
tion. we must seriously weigh its
pffects on our overall global stra-
tegy."
Van Fleet said he believes that
Korean consumption of Russian
military equipment has been at a
higher rate than the loss of United
States materiel.
He made these points:
Can Destroy Red Armies
1. Resumption of full-scale war-
fare would mean considerable cost
in United Nations casualties, but
if the decision is made to destroy
the Communist armies, it can be
done.
2. The stalemate along the battle-
front does not mean that the Unit-
ed Nations have lost the military
war.

With the belated arrival of the
oil industry in Nolan County, de-
velopments this year are expected
to help many land owners and ex-
pand the local economy to some
extent.
Although drouth conditions have
temporarily cut in the vast agricul-
tural part of business in this sec-
tion, a glance backward at the
years since the end of the war
shows that Sweetwater has enjoyed
a widespread era of growth and de-
velopment.
There have been probably 2,500
added to the population but the
most noticable development has
been in higher standards of living,
better accommodations, greater
services and retail development:
It was no period of boom, just a
six years of a growth in all direc-
tions of a very steady nature.
Sweetwater added its second bank
in Ihe period. All banks in the area
are strong, setting new records. Ag-
riculture has tucked several good
year's under its belt preceding the
current drouth.
