Staff Sgt. Joseph Subic Jr., 22, of Redford Township, Mich., said he wrote to the Denver Post because the hostages could not answer all the individual messages of support they had received. He asked the newspaper to publish his letter. “Please keep the cards and letters coming,’’ Subic wrote. “Your love, support and prayers mean a great deal to us. Please do not let us be forgotten as our POW’s were during the Vietnam era.” Subic’s letter was one of 150 American Indian activist John Thomas brought back from a 10-day meeting on international liberation in Iran, the Post said in a copyright story. The meeting was sponsored by militant Iranians. The biggest problem for the cap tives has been boredom, the mental strain of not knowing about their families, negotiations for their re lease and American efforts on their behalf, Subic said in his letter. Subic said many of the hostages have been interrogated, but he said none of the American diplomats were tortured. He also said the visit by U. S. clergymen at Christmas was a blessing. “To have our holy men from America come to share their Christmas with us was heart warming. Although we did not spend Christmas with our loved ones, it was truly an emotional mo ment,” he wrote. Subic also said the U.S. security force was able to withstand the in itial attack on the embassy for only three hours, but said U.S. soldiers have maintained the high standards of America since the takeover. “We are all proud to be Ameri cans,” he wrote, asking that people keep sending mail. “When we re ceive a card or a letter from our fel low Americans, it raises our morale to the highest level.” Subic’s letter, dated Jan. 5, was delivered to the Post Friday by American Indian Movement leader Russell Means, who received the letter from Thomas in New York.

Which means we’ve got to keep the supply coming con stantly. Donors are needed every day. “Sorry to say, there are never enough donors. “In fact, five people out of every 100 are doing the whole job. That’s right, five percent of the people give 100 percent of the blood that’s donated. “If you’re between 17 and 66, and generally healthy, you can help change all that.

The pylon aches the (engine to the wing. But airline officials said Friday an jkhaustive series of independent lists has shown a 10-inch crack in an [ngine pylon was caused by insuffi cient clearance for a ball bearing imhined with engine thrust stress of 11,000 pounds. American officials, who employed Rockwell International to make the tests, attributed the pylon crack to insufficient clearance of the pylon’s rear monoball bearing, a pivoting device that allows flexibility in jet engine movements during opera tions and heavy thrust loads. The fatal 10-inch crack was dupli cated by Rockwell in its tests. How ever, neither federal investigators nor American had been able to dup licate the split, an American spokesman said. Even when a bulk head was sawed 10 inches it did not fail under certain testing. Other DC-lOs owned by Ameri can and other commercial carriers had been flown safely with pylon cracks in the same location, but each crack found was only 6 inches long. American subsequently paid a $500,000 fine levied by the Federal Aviation Administration for the al legedly faulty maintenance. American officials said the Rockwell tests proved the faulty hall bearing causeoffre (>-iritfRl crack to grow to 10 inches during takeoffs, allowing the engine to tear away. The spokesman said American is preparing to modify extensively its fleet of 31 DC-10 jets beginning in December. Officials said the modification will go beyond what is required l>y the manufacturer, McDonnel-Douglas and the FAA.

If you’re a ; or a senior majoring in math, physics or engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about. It’s called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate - Collegiate Program (NUP0C-C for short) and if you qualify, you can earn as much as $725 a month right through your senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you’ll receive an additional year of advanced technical education. This would cost you thousands of $$$ in a civilian school, but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of training, you’ll receive a $3,000 cash bonus. It isn’t easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make it, you’ll have qualified for an elite engineering training job program. With unequaled hands-on responsibility, a $26,000 salary in four years, and gilt-edged qualifications for jobs in private industry should you decide to leave the Navy later. (But we don’t think you’ll want to.) If you interested or would like more information, contact the Navy Officer Information Team 22-24 January in the MSC or call us collect at (713) 224-1756. Be someone special in the Nuclear Navy.
