He added that the boys wore the black berets of the IRA. Two royal artillery troopers were blown up in Londonderry by three guerrillas of the IRA who hurled a suitcase of gelignite over the 12-foot wall of sandbags around an army observation post. Their deaths brought the toll of two years of violence to 137. Thirty soldiers have been killed so far this year, 22 of them since Aug. 9 when guerrilla suspects were rounded up and interned without trial. The wave of vio lence triggered by internment also claimed the lives of 50 civilians and three policemen. In other outbreaks of violence in Belfast, British troops fought a pitched battle with mourners around the coffin of a guerrilla leader and the IRA launched what appeared to be a new tactic of bomb-and-gun attacks on the homes of individual policemen.

Pentagon closes escape hatch for draft eligible 19-year-olds WASHINGTON The Pent agon acted Wednesday to close the National Guard and Reserves as an escape hatch for draft-eli gible 19-year-olds by directing that they be given the lowest en listment priority. Dr. Theodore C. Marrs, deputy assistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs, said a 19-year- old signed up on a Guard or Re serve waiting list “is not home free.” Qualified men 20 years and older, women and youths 17 and 18 will be enlisted without regard to the waiting lists, Marrs told a news conference. Those now on the list and those vulnerable to the draft will, in effect, be bump ed down, he added. The policy explained by Marrs was spelled out in a new direc tive signed by Deputy Secretary of Defense David M. Packard. Marrs said the intent is to make BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES One day 6^ per word 4c per word each additional day Minimum charge classified D is pin -76f lay $1.00 per column inch each insertion lesle nd, le oil Ofilll Ita parlits (am in ill literalJ >r cM igingKiJ iencel c port sk iscowrf you tel ands light in in rextl y hi ' I III It# OFFICIAL NOTICE Official notices must arrive in the Office of Student Publications before deadline of 1 p.m. of the day proceeding publication.

At one point, the backlog of men wanting to sign up for the Guard numbered more than 100,- 000. But now, with the United States withdrawing from the war and draft calls dropping off, the Guard’s waiting list has shrunk to about 15,000 names. Marrs said also the new policy would help in recruiting blacks and other minority-group mem bers. The Guard recently started a heavy recruiting campaign to off set the loss of draft-motivated volunteers. Following Pentagon criticism of its failure to enlist more Negroes, the Guard an nounced last month the goal of doubling the number of Negro guardsmen within the next 12 months. In the past, Marrs said, the long waiting list, filled mostly with young whites, made it un necessary to go out and actively recruit. A&M grads receive honors Decorations and honors have been awarded A&M graduates serving in the U.S. Air Force. Commendation Medals went to Lt. Col. J. A. Steele, 1954 grad uate of Troup, at Duluth, Minn., where he is air advisor to an Air National Guard unit; Maj. Jerry R. Stuth, 1956 grad of Green ville with the space and missile systems organization at Norton AFB, Calif., and Capt. Edwin D. Mitchell II, 1967 grad of Dayton at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska in the Alaskan Air Command. Second Lt. Clarence J. King was selected outstanding junior officer of his unit at Andrews AFB, Md. The 1970 graduate is a communications electronics of ficer. Airman Leonard A. Janza of Norton received the American Spirit Honor Medal for best dem onstrated leadership in basic training at Lackland AFB. The 1970 A&M grad will train as an accounting and finance specialist at Sheppard AFB. FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED Boeing tests booster aircraft at A&M for shuttle system Extensive testing of the Boe ing Co.’s booster aircraft for the space shuttle system was com pleted Wednesday at A&M’s wind tunnel. The Boeing booster tests were the first in a continuing series for NASA, with approximately four aircraft companies competing for the booster contract, noted Harry Whitmore, assistant director of the Texas Engineering Experi ment Station. A&M is designing, building and testing a flexible model of the proposed shuttle craft which will ride piggy-back on the booster aircraft, Whitmore said. Boeing’s booster design is about as long as a football field with 12 rocket engines capable of five million pounds of thrust at take off. The model tested here is one- twentieth original size. Dr. Spencer R. Baen, Space Technology Division director, co ordinated the wind tunnel tests with NASA and Boeing during the past two weeks. Dr. Baen said the tests included similated power-on use of the air breathing rocket engines. High pressure air was forced through eight of the engines to measure thrust and determine the effects of the engines on aerodynamic forces. He reported A&M has one of a limited number of low-speed wind tunnels used in this type of test ing. Numerous photographs of flow visualization at various an gles of attack were taken during the test period, he added. The Boeing booster is about the size of the new Boeing 747 jet liner and the space shuttle on top is the size of a Beeing 707. Esti- Bailey awarded Bauer Memorial Chem Scholarship David N. Bailey of Killeen has been named the 1971-72 recipient of the Dr. George C. Bauer Me morial Scholarship in chemistry at A&M. Bailey is the fourth recipient of the award inaugurated in Sep tember, 1968, by Mrs. George C. Bauer, wife of the late A&M chemistry professor. A junior who works parttime as a chemistry research assist ant, Bailey has a 3.24 grade point ratio of a possible 4.0 “in a high ly demanding field,” noted Dr. A. E. Martell. The Chemistry De partment head announced the re cipient selected by a departmental awards committee. .Junior and senior chemistry majors are eligible for the schol arship, set up on a permanently endowed scholarship fund arrang ed through corporate stocks and cash contributions by Mrs. Bauer, who resides in College Station. Current value is $7,900, of which over $7,100 has gone into the en dowed fund and $750 to scholar ships. Dr. Bauer taught analytical chemistry at A&M until his un timely death in 1938. He was a 1920 University of Kentucky graduate who earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at Iowa State Uni versity. A Killeen High School grad uate, Bailey transferred to A&M after the freshman year of study at Central Texas College in Kil leen. mated weight of the booster and shuttle is 4.5 million pounds. Development of a space shuttle system is an integral part of NASA’s plans for orbiting lab oratories to conduct earth-orient ed studies, Whitmore explained. He said the major problem is constructing a reusable system which will withstand re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere and still fly like an airplane.
