Connally Calls
‘SafetySunday’
Governor John Connally pro
claimed Sunday, February 25,
“Safety Sunday” in Texas and
called on the state’s drivers to
consider their moral obligations
to safeguard the lives of all other
users of the streets and high
ways.
In his proclamation, the Gov
ernor said: “It is essential that
every Texas driver realize that
safety for himself, his loved ones
and his friends, as well as other
drivers and passengers is a mat
ter of moral responsibility, and
that useless infliction of human
injury is an abuse of God’s most
precious gift—life itself.”
The Governor called attention
to the fact that some 3,350 per
sons were killed and an estimated
200,000 injured on Texas streets
and highways last year “despite
an intensive and continuing cam
paign by both official State agen
cies and citizen-support groups.”
DMS AGGIES HONORED
Army and Air Forte ROTC seniors who will graduate at
Texas A&M next May were honored Wednesday by local
chapters of the Reserve Officers Association. Student
ROA memberships were presented to Distinguished Mili
tary Students by Brig. Gen. Joe Hanover, 420th Engineer
Brigade commander, and Col. James R. Bradley, 837th
Military Intelligence Detachmen commander. Cadet Lt.
James K. Clements of Fort Worth receives one of the 124
presentations from General Hanover.
“But Dr. Ferraday!
The atomic weight of einsteinium is 254!”
He did it again. If Dr. Ferraday dropped his guard, George
would catch it. George used his head. He came to class
prepared. He was anxious—impatient.
Koppers is after impatient young graduates like George.
We’re growing so fast we have more job openings than
we can fill, and we need young graduates to help us fill
them—permanently. Answer this ad if you answer this
description: impatient, anxious to get ahead, at home with
fresh ideas. We want chemists, chemical engineers, me
chanical engineers, metallurgists, metallurgical engi
neers, electrical engineers, civil engineers, business
majors, liberal arts majors and MBA’s.
Afraid you might get into something you won’t like?
It's not likely at Koppers. We do all sorts of things with
plastics, wood, metal and chemicals. Koppers supplies
more than 270 products and services to some 40 indus
tries. Interview us.
Make an appointment at your Placement Office. And
write for our booklet, “Koppers and the Impatient Grad
uate.” It tells what Koppers does and why Koppers needs
impatient young people to help us do it. Write R. G.
Dingman, Koppers Company, Inc., Koppers Building,
Pittsburgh, Pa. 15219. Koppers has always been an equal
opportunity employer.
Try your impatience. Interview...

Engineering Majors To Take
One-Day 6 Jobs 9 In ‘Pro-Am'
Thirty-three Texas A&M engi
neering- majors will work side by
side with Houston area profes
sional engineers Monday.
A “Pro-AM” arranged by the
A&M student branch, Society of
Automotive Engineers and SAE
Gulf Coast Section will place the
Aggies on one-day jobs.”
Student engineers will work in
design, testing, research, manu
facturing, service and sales with
oil, iron works and farm equip
ment firms and the National
Aeronautics and Astronautics
Manned Spacecraft Center, an
nounced Robert H. Fletcher, A&M
mechanical engineering professor.
THE PRO-AM coordinator is
faculty advisor of A&M’s SAE
branch and vice chairman of stu
dent activities, Gulf Coast section.
“The boys will find out what
their work will be like when they
graduate. Industries will have
student contact that is not us
ually available,” Fletcher pointed
out. “Some of the boys will be
working with firms that may hire
them after graduation.”
After an eight-hour work day
with “pro” supervisors, the 33
Aggies will have a social hour
with the Houston Engineering
and Scientific Society. A monthly
dinner and program on automo-
SAIGON (A 1 ) — More than 40
persons were killed Tuesday when
high-flying B52 Stratofortresses
mistakenly dropped 50 tons of
bombs outside a target zone only
10.5 miles north of Saigon, the
U. S. Air Force announced Thurs
day.
The spokesman said 42 to 44
persons died and from 57 to 59
were injured in the raid that
was the closest to Saigon in the
war. It was the first such error
attributed to the B52s that us
ually execute their high-altitude
saturation raids in less populous
areas.
THE AIR FORCE did not in
dicate who the killed and injured
were. Other reports said women
and children were among them
and it was presumed the casual
ties included civilians.
The target was a suspected con
centration of Communist troops
alongside the Saigon River. Clear
ance for the raid had come from
the Vietnamese commander of the
Saigon military district and the
deputy senior American adviser
for the 3rd Corps area.
The Air Force said five of the
tive applications to oilfield serv
ice operations with the Gulf
Coast SAE section will follow.
PARTICIPATING will be sen

lenberg; Auston B. Cron, Alamo;

Miles, Hinckley, Ohio. In addi
tion, Herman Lara, senior indus
trial engineering major from Bo-
eight-engine jet bombers conduct
ed the afternoon raid and about
half of their 750-pound bombs
fell outside the target area but
“well within the one kilometer
safety zone designated each time
a target is approved.” A kilom
eter is about three-fifths of a
mile.
IN ADDITION to the one kil
ometer safety zone, Air Force
sources said each B52 target must
be surrounded by a three kilom
eter area cleared of all friendly
forces.
The target restrictions appar
ently were not observed in the
strike. The district town of Lai
Thieu was within three kilom
eters of the southern edge of the
target area and several govern
ment posts were within the one
kilometer safety zone.
The Air Force spokesman said
the entire target area had been
declared free of friendly forces
and civilians before the bombing.
The target area was adjacent to
what the Air Force described as
a “rapid access route to Tan Son
Nhut airfield and Saigon, on
which there had been heavy
fighting in the past two days.” I
gota, Colombia, and junior elec,
trical engineering major K. W,
Robinson of Dallas will partici
pate.
Israeli-Jordanian
FightingContinues
Far Into Night
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Israeli and Jordanian forces
battled into the night Thursday
along the Jordan River cease-fire
line in the fiercest fighting since
the Middle East war ended in
June. The battle extended from
the southern end of the Sea of
Galilee 60 miles south to Jericho,
“Both sides are using every
thing they have,” said one Israeli
military source.
Artillery and tank guns ex
changed fire and Israeli jets
roared in to bomb, strafe and
fire rockets at Jordanian posi
tions along a 16-mile sector in
the Beisan Valley near the Sea
of Galilee. Israeli army spokes
men said Jericho was being
shelled by long-range Jordanian
guns.
The Israelis said their planes
attacked for three hours, striking
at dug-in Jordanian artillery on
the sandy bank of the Jordan
River.
For the first time in the recent
series of clashes, the battle con
tinued after nightfall. Israeli
planes dropped flares over Jor
danian positions.
