X15 Makes Forced Landing TONOPA, Nev. UPI — The experimental ship XI5, making a first flight with added external fuel tanks that could power it to a record 5,000 miles an hour, made an emergency landing Friday on Mud Lake south of here. A deputy sheriff at the scene said “everything seems to be ok.’* The veteran research craft was dropped from beneath the wring of a B52 bomber over this mid-Nevada city with Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Rushworth at the controls. Within seconds the X15 experienced difficulty and a witness said from the ground some 20 miles south of it could be seen that it “wrasn’t working right. The malfunction could be seen,” said Jerry Roberts, reporter for the Tonopah Times Bonanza. A spokesman for the National Space Agency said the powerful engine of the X15 was shut down by Rushworth only 32 seconds of powered flight and a successful landing was made at Mud Lake. The spokesman said Rushworth was not injured and there was no damage to the X15.

rights acv, in some respects stronger than the federal civil rights law of 1964, went into effect in Kentucky Friday. There was little fanfare. An employer with eight or more employees may no longer discriminate in hiring in the state. When the federal law first was passed, only employers of 100 or more persons were covered in the job discrimination section. The number dropped to 75 Friday, the same day Kentucky’s new bill became law. By 1968, the federal statute will decrease to 25 or more persons in its employee cover-

age.

However according to the Kentucky Human Rights Commission, only 60 per cent of the state’s employees would be covered under the federal law in its maximum effectiveness. Some 80 per cent are now covered under the Kentucky

law.

W hen Gov. Edward T. Breathitt signed the law in a dramatic ceremony last January at the foot of a statue of Abraham Lincoln at the state capitol, he said it “ was a moral commitment kept after a hundred years of hope deferred • . . a promissory note long overdue.”

LETTER

EDITOR

Letter To The Editor: Doctor Stephens, his wife and children are a tremendous asset to the community of Greencastle and Putnam County. His honest and conscientious application of medical principles to the practice of medicine is admirable and worthy of the highest respect. He is held in warm regard by his patients and all citizens and voters of Putnam County. My association with Doctor Stephens has been both rewarding and educationaL His belief of freedom of choice, and free-

Now that Doctor Stephens has found a place where hs will be happy and can be with his family more and his work will be much earier for him. I think he has a right to do as he

wants.

Now to the hospital. I think this is where the trouble lies As to one thing that happened. There was a little child brought to the hospital who had drunk ant poison. The scared mother rushed the child to the hospital as her doctor was on vacation. They refused her to admit the child without a doctor’s consent, she tried to explain to them that their family doctor wasn’t here. And until the lady with her told them that the child was dying and that they needed a doctor, they finally got one. Had this doctor been fifteen minutes later the baby would of been gone. Now another time when I was in the hospital which was in 1957, they brought me drinking water which had oil on the ice and as I was in a private room they wouldn’t change my water pitcher or glass from Sunday until Tuesday and I

ANNIVERSARY Birthday Floyd and Lloyd Vermillion, twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Baird Vermillion, 14 ysars old Sunday, July 3rd.

Iko's 50th GETTYSBURG UK — Hu Eisenhowers—Ike and Mamie— celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss Friday, surrounded by all those of their family who can make it to a private celebration. Although Ike’s office at Gettysburg declines to confirm it, the stritcly private festivities will be held at the home of their only son John, at Phoenixville, near Philadelphia. The day will be a unique one in American history because it will be the first time in 120 years that a President and exPresident or his wife have made It jointly to their 50th wedding anniversary. On July 26, 1847, John Quincy Adams and Mrs. Louisa Catherina Johnson Adams celebrated their half-

to plan a tribute. Former Pres. Harry S. Truman is serving as honorary chairman of the Eisenhower Golden Wedding Committee. The group suggested that the tribute take the form of gifts to Eisenhower College in Senaca Falls, N. Y., which is scheduled to open its doors to 300 students in the fall of 1967. The Eisennowers were married in Denver, July 1,1916. Ike now is 75 while Mamie is 69. Scheduled For Court Appearance ROCKVILLE, Ind. UPI — Glenn F. Johnson, 39, Chicago, was scheduled for a court appearance today on preliminary charges of assault and battery with intent to kill two Illinois men in a cafe along U. S. 41 about 12 miles north of here Thursday night. J. Aron Gwin, 26, Des Plaines, HI., was in critical condition and Rudolph H. Beird, 34, Rosemont, 111., in fair condition at Union Hospital in

dom of the individual without regard to race, creed, color or political belief is very commen-

dable.

I wish him a successful and happy lifetime in his new clinic association. It is unfortunate that this fellow physician moves from Greencastle at this time, and he will be sorely missed by his thousands of patients and by his thousands of house call recipients. May the motivating factors for his moving be corrected soon. May the fifty-five hundred Democratic voters for Doctor Stephens for Coroner in November of 1964 be congratulated on their choice and let’s hope this group of the populace and all others join together to ascertain, eradicate, and improve all the discriminatory factors that discouraged Doctor Stephens in the practice of medicine in Putnam County. Sincerely yours, Lawrence R. Jones M.D.

Dear Editor: Here is my two cents worth about our Doctor. I think we have seven wonderful doctors and this includes Doctor Jones. I was Doctor Stephen’s patient and have been ever since Doctor Tennis passed away. And I will say Doctor Stephens is a wonderful Doctor, as well as a person, but do all people stay in one place or with one job all the time. No.

called for the head nurse and she made them change it. Also when I was transferred to another hospital they told me if I had of stayed there another day I wouldn’t of needed to come to their hospital. Now I think instead of blaming the doctors all the time how about the hospital staff. Now here’s my two cents worth. How about someone else’s. E. D.

CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank my friends and relatives for the beautiful flowers, cards and letters which I received while in the hospital. Thanks to Reverend Nicoi, Robinson, Palmer and Hall for their visits and prayers. Also thanks to Dr. Dettloff, nurses and hospital staff for their kindness and care. Mrs. Raymond Flint
