Officers Tell Need for Range
HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. November 23. 1968
Mr, and Mrs. Ralph Slater of
Portland have recently purch
ased the former home of Mr.
and Mrs. Ivan Brown. Slater Is
i retired construction worker.
The couple, who have visited in
Eastern Oregon many times ov
er the past years, find the cli
mate and the community to
their llkine and have decided
to make their home in Heppner.
The couple is Johnnie Hill's
uncle and aunt.

Also a South China Sea vet

In trainlii)! pilots, conditions
h: Vietnam are simulated as
ttn make practice runs to
Koardman. On a tvplcal filch!,
they may bo dow n the coast and
veer out to sea al hls.'h alti
tudes lust us l.t Pate did at
Vietnam. Then they cut back
inland on a devious route,
channinti course frequently.
They avoid overflying major
cities and typically fly 1000 to
15H0 fisi-t above the terrain.

practice bombs, which contain
onlv a small explosive cartridge
to elect smoke for the purpose
of smittiiit! strikes, the pilot ex
ecutes n steep angle brink,
climbs to altitude and proceeds
buck to Whidbey.
Commander Warwick pointed
out that it is onlv 1!H) nautical
miles to Bonrdman but 310 to
Wauontlre. Thus, a round trip
to the Morrow county range Is
380 miles as compared to G80
for the Wagontire trip. The dif
ference is a considerable factor
not onlv because of the added
expense for gasoline but also
because the A6A Is capable of
only about 2 'a hours flying
time per mission, and other
complications.
If Waeontire were used. It
would require double the num
ber of sortie In training. Com
mander Warwick said. At least
f.ve more AtiA Intruders would
lie needed at $3 million caih
to provide the same training,
five more flight Instructors
would be required, 110 more
maintenance men would Ih
needed. All things considered,
the change would require ap
proximately tin additional $S1
million In first year cost from
the taxpayers, he declared.

Lexington, Oregon
Mon rock, five miles off th
Washington coast and 83 miles
from Whidbey is also used f'r
practice runs, but it has many
disadvantages. It does not sim
ulate conditions in Vietnam.
Small fishing boats are some
times observed near the island
on the runs, making It neccs
sary to abort the mission in
consideration of the safety of
the fishermen. There also is no
way of providing for spoiling
strikes because towers cannot
be Installed.
As soon ns pilots have com
pleted training at Whidbey. us
ing the Boardman range, they
are sent to duty in Vietnam
Thus, this training Is vital for
them, it was pointed out
Commander Patterson, who,
like the others, used a protect
or to illustrate his points, show
ed how many different routes
are used in approaching Board
man, all but one on visual conditions.
He told how stress is laid to
maximum avoidance of populat
ed areas and to minimum an
noyance to the civilian popula
tion. In a question period. Admir
al Trum pointed out that the
Boardman facility now has one
officer and 35 men stationed
there with a payroll of about
$190,000 per year.
Orville Cutsforth, recognizing
the possible conflict of interests
on use of the land for the fa
cility as against the possibility
of converting it to agriculture,
askpd if there would be a pos
sibility that range lands now
leased for grazing might be con
verted for crop production on a
rental basis if no permanent im
provements were installed.
Admiral Trum said that this
possibility had never been con
sidered but that it could be In
vestigated. Commander Patterson, asked
if the Hanford area did not pre
sent an alternative possibility
for a bombing range, pointed
out that this is an ideal site
and closer to Whidbey but can
not be used because of the re
quirements of the Atomic Ener
gy Commission. Principal ob
jection is that of the planes
flying over the commission's
atomic installations.
County Judge Paul Jones ex
pressed appreciation to the
navy officers for coming and
clearing up misunderstandings
that may have existed, and it
seemed to be the consensus .that
members had a better appreci
ation for the necessity of the
range after hearing the presen
tation. President West Sherman said
that the Chamber could consid
er the matter at a later meet
ing in the hope of more clear
ly defining the organization's
position on the range. The
Chamber has been misquoted
as favoring the range be moved,
but it has taken no such stand.
Arrangements for the pro
gram were made through Her
man Winter who introduced Ad
miral Trum at the meeting.

We could add hobby

trucks are great for rock
hounding. Collecting an
tiques. Etcetera.
The point is: They're as
versatile as anything on the
road. Or off. Especially,
four-wheel drive versions.
They go anywhere.

Wherever you go, you go
in style. Sleek front end fea
tures a new aluminum grille.
In back, there's a new 812-ft
box on some models. Great
for big campers.
Great under the hood,
too. Six or V8. Standard on
V8 models is a big 307
cubic-incher.
Under the rugged chassis,
coil springs take care of
bumps. Inside, thick foam
seats take care of you.
There's a lot more. And
more you can order. Like:
power steering and air con
