OMAHA, Neb. — One of the
first Air Force reconnaissance pi
lots to seek evidence of a Cuban
arms buildup said Wednesday that
U. S. airmen were briefed on what
to look for “and fortunately we
found it.”
Maj. Richard S. Heyser, 35,
i Apalachicola, Fla., said visual

equipment carried in their planes

The, Bryan-College Station
Chamber of Commerce has
launched a search for “homes away
from home” for Aggie freshmen.
Claude Edge, chairman of the
chamber’s A&M Development Com
mittee, has appointed Alton Bowen
to head the search for local fam
ilies who are walling to “adopt”
a student. His committee will dis
tribute literature about the pro
gram this week through local su
per markets and at meetings of the
service (|lubs.
Since (the program was begun
in 1961, fpoKe |h^n : 200 “jfish” hav^

He noted that President Earl
Rudder had said that resignations
from boys with a “home away
from home” had been considerably
less than the overall rate. “This
is tangible evidence of the pro
gram’s effectiveness,” he said.
Families interested in providing
a “home away from home” this
year can contact the Chamber of
Commerce, he said.
permitted other fliers to go in on
low-level missions later.
Heyser was one of 10 members
of the 4080th Strategic Wing,
Laughlin Air Force Base, Tex.,
who were decorated Wednesday for
bringing back evidence of the build
up of offensive weapons in Cuba.
MEANWHILE, IN Washington,
the Pentagon named 26 Navy, Air
Force and Marine pilots who are
receiving the same decoration, Dis
tinguished Flying Crosses, for
photographic missions over Cuba.
Adm. Robert L. Dennison, com-
mander-in-chief of the U. S. At
lantic command made presentations
Wednesday to 15 Air Force pi
lots of the 36th Tactical Reconnais
sance Wing at MacDill Air Force
Base, Fla. The wing is station at
Shaw AFB, S. C.
Dennison will present DFC’s to
six Navy and four Marine pilots
Thursday in ceremonies at Cecil
Field, Jacksonville, Fla. The Navy
pilots are attached to Light Photo
graphic Squadron 62 based at Ce
cil Field. The Marine pilots are
part of Marine Composite Recon
naissance Sqaudi’on 2 at Cherry
Point, S. C.
DEFENSE OFFICIALS previ
ously confirmed the 4080th is
equipped with super-high flying
U2s of the type Francis Gary Pow
ers was flying when shot down over
the Soviet Union.
Heyser would not say what type
of plane he was flying over Cuba,
but he said he was flying high
enough so that he wasn’t worried
about being shot down.
He saw Cuban planes on several
occasions, Heyser said. Asked if
they made any effort to intercept
him, the flier hesitated and then
said: “Not that I was aware of.”
The Air Force said the planes
used on the reconnaissance mis
sions were unarmed. Heyser said
missions by his unit are flown on
a predetermined track and often
— referring to the use of cameras
— “We don’t know what we’re
shooting—seldom in fact.”

With Christmas rapidly ap
proaching Postmaster Ernest
Gregg reminded all College Sta
tion residents Thursday that there
are a number of basic rules which
should be followed to insure that
greeting cards and Christmas
packages will arrive on time and
in undamaged condition.
“For fastest delivery of greet
ing cards, use first class postage
and mail early in the day,” stated
Gregg. “An article mailed in the
morning often arrives the next
day,” he said.
Gregg requested that senders
place their return address on their
greeting cards. ‘Your friend may
be waiting to learn your address,”
he went on to say.
Gregg listed the following rules
to be observed in wrapping and
mailing packages:
• Choose a sturdy carton. Don’t
use flimsy suit-boxes or shoe box
es.
• Be sure the parcel is well pad
ded. Use shredded paper, excel
sior or flexible corrugated fiber-
board for packing. Put at least
two inches of packing on all four
sides of the container and on top
and bottom.
• Write the name and address
of the person to whom the parcel
is being sent and the return ad
dress on a card and put it inside the
package.
• Use heavy wrapping paper to
wrap packages. Don’t use Christ
mas wrapping paper or thin paper
bags. No paper is needed on stur
dy fiberboard cartons.
• Address the parcel once and
only on one side. Write or print
legibly using complete names and
addresses. Include postal zones
where applicable.
• Packages containing glass,
china, electrical appliances, jew
elry, musical instruments and ra
dios should be marked fragile.
“Such warnings as “do not
crush” or “handle with care” do
little to protect a package if not
properly wrapped,” said Gregg.
“These warnings can not be seen
when the package is in a sack.”
