Present Program For More Medics In Hoosier State
INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A state-wide coordinated program for educating more doctors and keeping them in Indiana was unfurled Tuesday before a legislative study committee by Dr. Elvis J. Stahr. president of Indiana University, and IU medical school offidsla The plan calls for first-year medical school students to be taken in “any Hoosier university or college with strong basic science departments which Is organised, staffed and equipped to provide It" This would include the universities which have been battling IU to gain a new second medical schooL Second and third years of training would bo taken at the IU Medical Center. This is the locale of Indiana’s only present medical schooL Evansville, ltuw«ia and the South Bond areas all have sought a ascend medical school for their earn-
nunittcSe
The provision for the senior year in medical school calls for a drastic change in present procedures which Stahr, IU Medical Center Provost Kenneth E. Penrod and Dean Glenn W. Irwin, Jr, said would reverse the present trend In which many Indianaredncated doctors take off for other states. Highlights of that postton of the new plan laid before the Subcommittee to Study Medical Education were: —One-half to all of the senior year would be taken In hospitals In various sections of the state under the tutelage of practicing physicians and surgeons and the general supervision of the IU medical faculty. —AH the participating campuses and hospitals across the state would bo linked by a network Involving television, radio, telephone and computers. —The program would provide broader teaching and learning experiences for graduate Interns and residents in cooperating hospitals. —It would mean a continuing
educational opportunity for practicing physicians throughout Indians. “Ws believe this state-wide yntWoi education program will produce more doctors sooner, will create more and better training for interns and residents In Indiana,” Stahr told the lawmakers. "It will add more significantly to the number of physicians in Indiana and will more substantially increase the amount and quality of medical care in our state at substantially less cost to the state than any other plan that has been propoeed or that we can
conceive."

A tornado watch was posted for extreme southeast Arkansas, portions of central and north Mississippi, west and mid-Tennessee and extreme northwest Alabama.

Another tornado touched down at Swan Lake, Ark., and 20 miles east a Pine Bluff policeman reported another funnel cloud but neither apparently did little, if any damage. No one was seriously hurt in the wind storm. Tfte storm system brought thunderstorms to a broad band of the South. Large hail and locally heavy rains were reported from the mid-Mississip-pi Valley to the mid-Atlantic Coast.
Almost three inches of rain fen at Pine Bluff, Ark., in six hours Tuesday night while Cape Girardeau, Mo* Paducah and Bowling Green, Ky* reported more than an inch.

Coal Miners Trickle Back To Work
PITTSBURGH UPI — About a third of the soft coal industry’s 58,000 striking miners trickled back to work Tuesday in response to an appeal from their union president. But roving bands of maverick pickets shut down other pits and threatened to delay settlement of the contract dispute. As United Mine Workers (UMW) officials and repre-
sentatives of the Bituminous Coal Operators Association (BCOA) moved to resume contract talks in Washington, the return-to-work movement ordered by UMW chieftain W. A. Boyle was reported slow and sporadic. It ran into pockets of resistance in Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, eastern Ohio and Illinois.
The walkout erupted at midnight Sunday when miners decided to step up the pressure on negotiators for the UMW and the BCOA, whose members employ 40,000 men. By early Monday miners were on strike in parts of the nine states — Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, Utah, Colorado, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois (Continued on Page 2)

Thomas C. Mann, under secretary of state for economic affairs, has been chosen to deliver the commencement address at DePauw University Sunday, May 29. The selection of the U. S. Government official was announced today by DePauw President Dr. William E. Kerstetter. Mann, a 53-year-old Texan, was named to his present post —'that of dealing with foreign economic problems—in March of last year. He succeeded Averell Harriman. Generally considered the numiber three man in the Department of State behind Dean Rusk and George Ball, Mann has been in the Foreign Service for 24 years, dealing much of the time with Latin American affairs. President Kennedy sent Mann to Mexico in 1961 as ambassador. President Johnson recalled him in 1964 to become head of the Alliance for Progress and Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. Mann, who practiced law in Texas from 1934-52, has also served as ambassador to El Salvador and completed foreign service appointments in Uruguay, Venezuela, Greece and in Guatemala, the latter assignment immediately after the overthrow of pro-Communist president Jacobo Arbenz. In 1957, after two years in El Salvador, Mann was named by President Eisenhower to serve as Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs. Children Mourn Pet Dog's Death LAFAYETTE UPI—The following appeared in the Letters to the Editor column of the Lafayette Journal A Courier Monday: "My dog was killed an hour ago. His name was Tippy. He was run over by a car. I loved him. We have a dinnerbell. If we rang it, he would come. He was a Shetland sheepdog. Why can’t people be careful? There is a 20 miles per hour zone sign by our house. When they hit him, they didn’t stop. They just let him lay in the street. He had his city tag, and his name tag saying who he belonged to, and his rabies tag from the veterinarian. He never bit anyone. Please be careful. When I am big I won’t do that.’’ Randy Lee Gerhart, age 8% Shellie Ann Gerhart, age 6
SAIGON UPI — Communist guerrillas staged a sneak artillery attack on the largest U. 8. air base in Viet Nam today killing 8 persons, wounding 128 and causing millions in damages to a fleet of warplanes. Seven of the deed and 109 of the wounded were Americans. An estimated 30 Viet Cong crept to the edge of the sprawling Tan Son Nhut airbase and fired recoilless rifles and mortars for 15 minutes at its storage facilities, 13,000 sleeping warriors and rows of airplanes. Thousands of persons in Saigon watched from rooftops as flares, tracers and flaming aviation fuel lit the night sky. Ths guerrillas damaged 33 airplanes before armed helicopters of a U. S. reaction force drove them away. U. S. and South Vietnamese troops who pursued the fleeing guerrillas reported ■ • Y « r a 1 hours later they caught up with them about three miles southwest of Saigon and killed two in a brief fire fight. But the others got away. The airport, which serves both military and civilian traffic for Saigon, is only thres miles from the city center. With takeoffs and landings once every 30 seconds, it is considered the world’s busiest. Most of the casualties were from the 90th Replacement Depot—a transient center where virtually all U. S. servicemen arriving or leaving Viet Nam pass through. About 300 were reported sleeping in the replacement depot’s tent city when the pre-dawn attack was launched. Gen. William C. Westmoreland, commander of U. S. forces in Viet Nam, toured the littered flight line just hours after ths attack. The base remained on “red alert" throughout the day and Vietnamese civilians working there were turned back. “It is impractical to conceive of an airtight defense against attacks of this nature,” Westmoreland told newsmen. “But we learn lessons every time there is an attack like this and we put this knowledge to work. No Ceremony PARIS UPI — The French government has refused for the first time for 20 years to permit a ceremony in Paris this year in memory of American soldiers killed in the city’s liberation in 1944. Miss Marcelle Thomas, organizer of the annual ceremony, said today she received a "brusque” letter from Defense Minister Pierre Messmer informing her the ceremony could not be held this year at the Invalides, shrine of France’s military heroes and tomb of Napoleon.
