Approves Lease Os Atterbury To State INDIANAPOLIS . (UPD—Negotiations between the state and the Army will determine the price of land which the state will lease at Camp Atterbury for establishment of a youth center to provide work and job training for unemployed young men. The Army announced Tuesday in Washington that it had approved the proposal that the state lease part of the big military reservation south of here for the center. The exact amount of land involved in the lease also is still to be determined. Governor Welsh originally asked the Army for 14.000 acres but part of that land is currently leased to private interests, mostly for grazing land. The Army’s announcement of approval said that enough land would be made available to start the program and that more could be turned over to the state as grazing land leases expired. The announcement also said that congressional’ action would be needed to authorize the state to extend its police power into the area it leases. Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., said he was prepared to introduce the necessary legislation. The program at the center, tied in with President Johnson’s anti-poverty program, is aimed at helping young men rejected for military service or who have dropped out of high -school. The men will be given job training and education and will spend part of their time working on conservation and recreation projects in the area. Training courses are currently being worked out by the Indiana Department of Public Instruction. Welsh originally had hoped to have the center in operation by June 1 with about 100 trainees but the target date is now midsummer because of delays in obtaining federal funds to help finance the project. —— —; • a False Fire Alarm Rash Brinas Probe TERRE HAUTE, Ind.

Lucas said that the two men died “because they were ordered to fly planes that might better have been consigned to the scrap heap.” The plane involved in both cases was the T2B, which has long been used in Viet Nam. The T2B, which first went into production in 1950, is regarded by* pilots in Washington as very well suited to Viet Nam because it is a rugged plane and can land and take off in a short distance.
