An Air Force spokesman at Ladd Air Force Base, the plane's home iieic, termed tne a c c I a c n I anl "electronic miscalculation of dis tance." The rockets- came from one of four Scorpions practice fir ing on the rocket range 27 miles south of here. As far as can be determined, the Air Force spokesman said, radar equipment being used to guide the Scorpions to the target was not "true." When the rockets were fired, the spokesman said, the plane must have been closer to Fairbanks than 27 miles because the rockets being used did not have that much range. One of the rockets hit the Rich ardson Highway. Several of the other landed near small homes pn the southern outskirts of Fairbanks but caused no damage because of their non-explosive nature. Brig.

"It's not the money so much as the principle of the thing." said his father, an Iowa legislator. Gordon Danielson, county attor ney, said the law is that Dietz has to pay $34.50.

Pleads Guilty Dietz pleaded guilty to charges of rei kless wiving and operating a j j vehicle without a valid driver's! i license. Fines and court costs totaled $34.50. Danielson said Dietz was jailed when he could not pay and was given access to a telephone. Dietz called his wife in Daven port to tell her of his plight but indicated at the same time he was calling his Navy base for help. The next his family heard of him was another telephone call Sunday. He Still was in jail. The elder Dietz said he sup posed the fine long since had been paid and his son was back at the Navy base. Complaint Filed The father complained at least his son's jail time should count against the fine. A dollar a day is t h e traditional allowance. But Prosecutor Danielson said Kansas law does not allow this. Riley Dietz Sr. asked Iowa's Gov. Leo Hoegh and Rep. Fred Schwen gel (R-Ia) to investigate. Gov. Heogh's office said It was asking Gov. Fred Hall of Kansas for a report. - - Rep. Schwengel indicated he was taktng it up with the Navy. Don't Neglect Slipping FALSE TEETH Do flM tmtb drop. Hip or wobbio when you talk, Mt, lough or mm??

Navy's Talos Beats Nike, Senator Says WASHINGTON Iff-The Navy's Talos antiaircraft guided missile appears to be a "better weapon than the Army's Nike, according to Sea. Chavex (D-NM. Chavex Is chairman of a Senate appropriations subcommittee on defense funds. Monday, that group heard the staff chiefs of the Army, Navy and Air Force discus the relative merits of the Talos and the Nike. Afterward, Chavex told news men "it appears from the evidence adduced at the hearing that the Talos it a better weapon than the Nike." He said it has longer j range. He added that if pending tests indicate this to be true, the sub committee probably "will recom mend that only that weapon be produced in the future." The Nike has been emplaced around many of the nation's popu lation and industrial centers. It has become one focal point of in- ter service rivalry, with critics questioning its ability to knock down the latest and fastest jet aircraft. The Talos, developed by the Navy for use on light cruisers, also is being Installed around con tinental Air Force bases. Statesman, Salem, Ore., WcrJ, Juil 13, 06 (Sec.

Thomas to referee the dispute over uppers vs. buttons on saltan . pants.. -. f '- .'. Back in 1941 the service . of tlcially outlawed the "broad . tall front" garments with their tradi tional 11 buttons a style deriving from sea-going gear of the Ida century. . Bu. the order permitted the men to continue to wear the old style uniforms until they wore out. And It's remarkable how many of them apparently have survived all those eight years and are still in use by tradition-minded tars. So the Navy conducted a survey of opinion among its enlisted men. On that basis the Navy uniform board has recommended a return to the sid style front closure. That recommendation has been submitted to Thomas, whone de cision is expected shortly. "Brbe's" owner, a naturalized American from Vienna, Mrs. Gisa Letree, said he cost f 1,000 with out his walking clothes. Stop Pain of Piles! Stop It Today At Home -or money back!
