United Press International LITTLE ROCK — The Air Force commander in charge when a Titan II missile blew up in September was abruptly relieved of command for reasons that may be linked to Air Force accident reports due out this month, officials said Thursday. Col. John Moser, who became commander of the 308th Strategic Missile Wing at the Little Rock Air Force Base just last June, was re placed without ceremony Wednes day by Col. Ronald Bishop, who was transferred overnight from Vanden- berg Air Force Base at Lompoc, Calif. Air Force spokesmen said their policy was not to explain personnel changes, and Moser would not com ment. “That’s a command prerogative on assignments, and I’m not at liberty to say anything,” Moser said Thursday. A new assignment for him is in the works, he said. But one former Air Force officer in on ^fusic Box is at HAPPY COTTAGE GIFT SHOPPE (over 260 SelecUons) 809 E. 29th Meet me at the Christmas Fair.

BEFORE SHOWTIME Washington, who asked not to be identified, said SAC sacks any com mander when something under his control goes awry. “They wait until the smoke clears and clear out the guy in charge,” he said. “When people take these jobs, they know the rules of the game.” Air Force officials would not con firm such a policy. But at Rock, Kan., in 1978, the maintenance comman der of McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita was similarly reassigned af ter two men were killed by toxic fumes from leaking missile fuel. Two Air Force reports on the Sept. 19 explosion at Damascus, Ark., are to be released this month, officials said. The first is a technical safety report and the other is a 1,600- page compilation of facts and testi mony. When the leaking missile at Damascus exploded — killing one airman and injuring 21 — local and state officials loudly denounced the Air Force’s tight-lipped policy of re fusing to release information. They said the Air Force had not told them about the danger of an explosion and would not explain the hazards of the missile’s toxic ffimes or the condition of the nuclear warhead, tossed 200 yards across the missile site in the blast. They also blamed the Air Force for a confused evacuation that fright ened many residents. Reps. Ed Bethune, R-Ark., and Bill Alexander, D-Ark., began an in vestigation into the incident, but spokesmen for both denied any prior knowledge of Moser’s dismissal. Aides to Sens. Dale Bumpers and David Pryor, both D-Ark., also ex pressed surprise and said they had not influenced the decision. The report by Alexander and Bethune will be delayed until after the Air Force’s accident report is completed, an aide to Alexander said. The congressmen will have to wait until the next congressional ses sion to present their report to the House Appropriations Committee as planned. Lecture today on sleep and psychology The function of REM (rapid eye movement) dreaming will be the subject of a psychology lecture Friday. David B. Cohen of the University ofTexas at Austin will speak at 4 p.m. in 302 Rudder. REM sleep occurs four to five times a night for approximately 20 minutes each time. These periods are named for the intermittent bursts of rapid eye movements which accompany them. It is during REM periods that vividly detailed, unrealistic, and hal lucinatory dreams occur. REM sleep is characterized by higher respiration levels, and in creased blood pressure and heart rate. Sun Theatres 333 University 846-! The only movie in town Double-Feature Every Week 846-9808 By RICHARD OLIVER Battalion Staff When the Good Lord put vocal chords into Armand Morales, Dave Wills, Russ Taffand Jim Murray, He threw away the mo*ld. Those four make up The Impe rials, perhaps the most popular con temporary gospel group in the world. For over 15 years, the group has performed in almost every coun try in the world and has made 29 albums. Thursday night at the Bryan Civic Auditorium, The Imperials and God gave a crowd of approximately 4,000 a treat by combining a lot of talent, versatility and some old-fashioned foot-stompin’. As good as the group is, they refuse to credit anyone but the Deity for their talent. Methodist, Baptist, black and white, all stood while the group ran through old favorites such as "Good Old Gospel Ship” and "Give Them All to Jesus. ” Russ Taff is the lead singer of the group and its popular spokesman, and his raspy baritone vocals ranged through soft spirituals and high- powered rock and roll with equal skill. Backing him up is perhaps the finest high and low duo in gospel music, Murray and Morales. The pair have been members of the group since its infancy, Morales being one of the founding members 15 years ago, with Murray joining one year later. Throughout the years, the band has progressed through various members and styles. In the ’60s, The Imperials headlined for such perfor mers as Pat Boone and Bob Hope and last year became the first Christ ian group to perform on the Grammy Awards. In the early ’70s, The Imperials began a gradual change from tradi tional gospel to the often-criticized more contemporary [ The Imperials have deary PARIS — the changes, and as Ani : jaist, sat in' leader of the group, sail )U ld find j 1 here just to praise the Lori |oulders, t That has been their dmis in an adjc and judging from thecrowl® gists, sock that force is definitely ratclu ,r the first In the late ’70s, in the« dity. the most popular upswing -The Unite group, two members, ip to focus gpener, t 1 pattern Review i*"”" 11 ' Hanon Se ||k, told h Jning to t Andrus and Terry BlacUaMhing cor form their own group, dll Most of tl Wills came in The result has been two awards and a new and old alike.
