Admiral Says TFX Use
Limited On Carriers
WASHINGTON (L'PD- Admiral
George W. Anderson says that be
cause of design compromises the
TFX fighter plane cannot be used
on many of the Navy's attack air
craft carriers, published testimony
showed today.
The chief of naval operations
said in testimony released by
Senate investigators that the pro
posed two . service supersonic
fighter as now designed is too big
and too heavy to be used on any
attack carriers of the modernized
Essex class.
"Use will be restricted on the
three attack carriers of the Mid
way class," Anderson testified. He
said the plane designed by Gen
era! Dynamics Corp. is 1.1. 500
pounds heavier than original Navy
specifications, and 8.500 pounds
heavier than revised Navy specifications.
The top Navy military official
made it clear that he preferred
the losing design submitted by
Boeing Co. He said there were a
number of concessions made by
the Navy to meet Defense Secr-
tary Roliert S. McNamara's insis
tence on one plane for two serv
icesthe Navy and Air Force.
The Senate investigation sub
committee is looking into why Mc-
Namara gave the multi-billion dol
lar contract to General Dynamics,
instead of following unanimous
military recommendations favor
ing the rival Boeing plane.

Geiger Air
3ase Closed
SPOKANE (UPD - The Air
Force has announced the virtual
closure of Geiger Air Force Base,
an Air Defense Command (ADC)
base with a unit of F106 super
sonic jets.
The action means a loss of an
estimated $l2-mil!ion a year to the
Spokane area economy.
The announcement said the
498th Fighter Interceptor Squad
ron will be moved to McChord
Air Force base near Tacoma in
July. Affected will be some 1,150
military personnel and 199 civil
ians. Of those, only 438 will make
the move to McChord. .
The 84th fighter group, the ad
ministrutive organization, will be
disbanded, releasing about 918
men for other Air Force assign
ments. Col. Lester F. Johnson, com
mander of the 84th, said McChord
was chosen as the base at which
to consolidate two fighter squad
rons instead of Geiger because
Tacoma was not considered a
prime target area. Fairchild Air
Force base here, a strategic Air
Command (ield with B52 bombers,
KC135 tankers and Atlas missiles,
is tabled a prime target.
Disclosure of Anderson's stand
came as the TFX dispute ap
peared to be headed for a show
down between McNamara and his
Senate critics.
Sen. John L. McClellan, D-
Ark., chairman of the subcom
mittee investigating the TFX
contract award, asked Comptrol-
Icr General Joseph Campbell to
make an independent study of the
cost standards involved.
The object was to find out once
and for all whether Boeing or
General Dynamics could build the
controversial plane at least cost
to the taxpayers.
McNamara told McClellan he
would be glad to cooperate with
Campbell s watchdog General Ac
counting Office. But he warned
that the Air Force projected cost
estimates were considered "so un
reliable" that they could not form
a foundation for a realistic deci
sion.
The report McClellan requested
could mean a turning point in
the dispule. Should it favor Boe
ing, as the parade of military
witnesses before the McClellan
subcommittee has, it could mean
a climactic confrontation between
McNamara and his Senate foes

had won a full merit scholarship.
His mother had been trying to
find him since a day or two after
he left Miami March 23 in despair
with S5 in his pocket.
He first had planned to work'i
as a stock clerk in a Lubbock
auto supply store through the

NASSAU, Bahamas (UPD-Ninc
anti-Castro Cubans were arrested
by police on Andros Island today
and the arms they were carry
ing were confiscated.
The men were spotted Friday
night by Lt. Col. John Pine Cof
fin of the Joint Services Head
quarters in Nassau, who flew in a
seaplane to Andros, one of the
largest islands in the Bahamas.
John w alked into a Lubbock em
ployment office Friday looking for
a job. A clerk recognized him
from a newspaper photograph.
He was overjoyed when told he
had won a scholarship. John and
his mother finally got together ov
er the telephone and she sent him
money. He said he leaves for
home today.
John said he "had "iust been
bumming around" since he left
home. He was carrying his cloth
ing' in a papersack.
The university had been his last
hope before he left home. He had
gone to see school officials there
about working his way through
school, but they turned him down.
He saved $5 earned from deliv
ering newspapers and working at
a gasoline station. He then left
home to look for work.
Reno police made a painstaking
search of a bloodstained apart
ment Saturday night in search of
clues to the person who killed and
butchered a former British Olym
pic skier.
Victim of the slaying was 24-year-old
Sonja McCaskie, a na
tive of Elgin, Scotland, and a
mother of two. 'Her dismembered
body was found late Friday night
in her once pleasant apartment
which contained her many skiing
tups and trophies.
Police Chief Elmer Briscoe de
scribed it as "the most brutal
murder I've ever investigated."
Veteran police officers gagged at
the sight as they entered the
apartment.
The nude body of Miss McCas
kie was found in a cedar chest
in the bedroom, three kitchen
knives stuck in the turso. Beneath
the body was her head, wrapped
in white undergarments and a
lace table cloth.
The victim's heart was found
on the floor near the unlocked
front door. One foot 'was rolled
up in a blanket in ths middle of
the living room.
Believed Tortured
Chief Briscoe said he believes
Miss McCaskie had been tortured
before she was killed. But there
appeared to be little sign of a
struggle. Neighbors told officers
they heard no screams or any
disturbance.
Police said Miss McCaskie was
last seen late Thursday. A baby
sitter who was caring (or her
year-old son became worried be
cause she failed to come for the
child, touching off the search.
Miss McCaskie worked as a sec
retary at a meat company in
employer said she did not report
for work Friday and her home
telephone did not answer.
Briscoe said Miss McCaskie had
been once married to a Jelf
Schmidt, who is believed to have
custody of the older of her two
children. He was being sought.
Last month. Miss McCaskie
filed a paternity suit against Uni
versity of Nevada professor David
C. Conrad, naming him as the
father of her one-year-old son,
Kim. Conrad was questioned ear
ly Saturday and released.
Chief Briscoe and District At
torney William Raggio questioned
a number of other persons but
did not release their names.
Quiet Life
Miss McCaskie's neighbors said
she lived a quiet life and genera
ally stayed at home nights, knil
ting, reading and taking care of
her baby.
Whereabouts of the second child
she was reported to have was not
immediately learned.
Miss McCaskie was attending
Sierra Collge at Auburn, Calif., in
1960 when she asked to ski on
the British team at the nearby
Squaw Valley, Calif., Olympics.
She finished out of the running
i in the events in which she took
part. ,
This last winter, she had tauijht
skiing at the Reno Ski Bowl in
nearby Slide Mountain during the
weekends.
Police said Miss McCaskie
drove to her apartment about
4:30 p.m. Thursday. Her small
British-made sports car had not
been moved since then.
