S. reconnaissance bomber dis appeared Tuesday, and the Air Force said it was believed shot down over East Germany, appar ently near the central Berlin air corridor. A civilian pilot in the area re ported he had seen what looked like an attack dive by a jet fighter, probably a Soviet-made MIG17. The pilot said he had seen a flash as if the jet had fired rockets but was unable to see the target. The Air Force said the recon naissance bomber was unarmed. THERE WERE three men aboard the twin-jet Douglas RB66. The Air Force said the unarmed plane was on a routine training mission from Toul-Rosieres, France, and that the crew had been briefed to fly a practice mission over West Germany. The central Berlin corridor is one of the air lanes reserved for Allied planes flying over Com munist territotry between Berlin and West Germany. The Air Force said an unidenti fied aircraft had entered the air defense identification zone at 2:46 p.m. and had not responded to in structions to reverse course. The aircraft continued on into East Germany at 3:01 p.m., the Air Force added. ON JAN. 28, a U. S. T39 trainer vanished on a flight from Wies baden, and the Russians announced on the following day that their fighters had forced it down near Erfurt, 140 miles northeast of Wiesbaden. The T39 cx-ashed and bux*ned, killing the three occupants. Secre tary of State Dean Rusk called that incident “a shocking and senseless act.” The Russians re jected the protest and termed the flight of the T39 a “gross provoca tion” and “a clear intrusion.” An attempt to determine the fate of the RB66 through the East Ger man Defense Ministry brought in structions to inquire again Wednes day morning.

Che Battalion Volume 61 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1964 Number 14 93 Candidates Announce For Spring Elections With a rush of last minute applications, filing for class offices closed at 5 p. m. Tuesday. Wayne Smith, director of the Memorial Student Center bowling and games activities and official in charge of elections, announced at the close of filing that 93 people had filed for the various class offices. “There was so much going on,” Smith said, “the Military Ball and the game, that time probably ran away from these people. That’s why so many people filed at this late date.” At the time of the deadline Smith announced that all offices had been filed for. “Last year,” he said, “there was such a poor turnout that we had to extend the time for filing. Then about 85 people filed. This - ^ years response is as good, if not better than last year’s.” The Election Committee held a pre-election meeting on the policies to be followed in the coming election. There will be a mandatory meeting of all can didates at 5 p.m., Thursday in the Chemistry Lecture Room.

Selection Of Mate Big Factor In Life Some people pay less attention to choosing a marriage partner than choosing a vocation, courses to take or choice of wradrobe, Dr. Henry Bowman said Tuesday night. Bowman, speaking to approxi mately 175 visitors at the second of four YMCA marriage fonims, said, “I believe the biggest decision you will make in the future is who to marry.” He said there is much more heairtache in making a mar riage change than a vocational or other change in your future. The University of Texas sociolo gy professor said “marriage is as popular as it ever has been and the rate of marriages has been pretty constant through the years.” Bowman stated that if he was limited to telling a couple one thing, he would tell them to keep their perspective and distinguish between big and little. Bowman rated motivation, or going into max*riage knowing you can succeed, equal with or near perspective as important for cou ples to realize. The sociologists said traps in “petting,” or “gnibing” as some call it, are that it is cumlative and generates so much emotional that it is often judged as love and that it generates emotion and Singing Cadets Set For Concert Tour A&M University’s Singing Ca dets, the musical voice of Aggie- land, will be in Paris Friday to begin the annual concert tour. Other stops on the cadets’ agen da for March and April include Shreveport, Freeport, Brazosport, Uvalde, Victoria, San Antonio and Houston, announced Robert L. Boone, director of the 56-voice men’s chonxs. The cadets have been in the music business since 1906 with Boone as director since 1960. as emotion rises, down. judgment goes Bowman stated that he believed the authority over one another in marriage should be equal among the partners. He said the one who knows more about the sub ject should be given the authority to choose. The professor stated that the age for marrying has declined in the last 70 years. He said the average age for marrying is 22 for boys and 20 for girls. Forty percent of marriages are in the teens. A good percent will be parents before 20 years old. Bowman said the younger mar riages are more general contribu ting to the failure rate of mar riages.

Lodge Write-In Vote Stuns New Hampshire’s Primary CONCORD, N. H. (AP) — Henry Cabot Lodge, the Johnson admini stration’s man in Saigon, rolled to a smashing write-in victory Tues day night in New Hampshire’s Re publican presidential primary. The ambassador, 61, oldest man in current competition for either party’s presidential nomination, flattened three major competitors in a stunning sweep of the nation’s first test of Republican sentiment at the polls. Running behind him were two top-flight contestants for the GOP nomination, Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., and New York Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller, whose names were on machine and paper ballots. IN FOURTH place was Richard M. Nixon, the 1960 presidential nominee, a beneficiary, life Lodge, of a write-in campaign. Goldwater’s New Hamsphire di rector, Stewart Lamprey, conceded the Arizona senator had lost the primary to Lodge. President Johnson piled up a comfortable vote in a sideshow of Democratic voting to quiet fears of some of his friends he might prove less popular among voters writing their names in than Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy. In the Republican contest, the tally from 141 of the state’s 302 precincts was: Lodge 14,870 Goldwater 11,846 Rockefeller 10,117 Nixon 8,068 DESPITE lagging behind Lodge in the popular-vote total. Gold- water seemed on the way to col lecting a majority of the state’s 14-vote GOP convention delega tion. In returns from about one- third of the precincts, delegates favoring Goldwater led in 11 con tests, those supporting Lodge were ahead in three. Lodge, who spent the day on the field trip in South Viet Nam with Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, was expected to re view later the results of his amaz ing showing. HIS SON, George, told report ers in Concord he was certain his father would heed any call from the convention “gratefully, humbly and enthusiastically.” He would not guess if or when his father might return to the United States. In Saigon, Lodge has indicat ed that he would not do any cam paigning in the United States un less or until he receives the nomin ation. Goldwater indicated in a brief television appearance that he was disappointed with his New Hamp shire showing. But he said he is ready to “take one more step” and will be in California Friday to resume his campaigning for the nomination.

Students SCONA To Solicit Support Three teams of A&M University students will be in Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth during the Easter holidays to raise funds for the annual Student Conference on Na tional Affairs here. The Aggies hope to enlist enough financial support from business and industry to continue the con ference, which attracts college and university students from schools throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico: “The 1964 budget is $18,000,” Garry Tisdale of Tyler, chairman- elect of the student group, re ported. “We hope to raise half this amount in these three cities during the Easter recess.” Other Texas and Mexico cities will be visited after the spring semester ends in June, he added. All of the conference expenditures have been paid by business and industry since the program began in 1954. J. T. Rose of San Antonio is the finance committee chairman. Tisdale, a Tyler pre-law student, said previous donations have ranged from $50 to $2,000 by lead ing Texas businessmen, including some former A&M students. The students go to industry for the funds because “The industrial and business leaders see the need for SCONA,” Tisdale said. Each December the conference brings student leaders together for speeches and discussion on timely issues of United States and inter national policies. It makes no attempt to solve problems, Tisdale added, but seeks to grasp their complexity. Men from industry also help serve as roundtable discussion leaders and speakers. Speakers have included Presi dent Johnson, congressmen, am bassadors, other Washington offi cials and representatives of foreign countries. Tentative theme for 1964 will concern Latin America.
