Air Force plane explosion kills at least 6 of 21 United Press International WALKERSVILLE, Md. — An lir Force transport plane with 21 iersons aboard apparently ex- iloded over Western Maryland Wednesday, scattering wreckage iverfarm lands and killing at least six persons, state police said. Police at the scene told repor ters at least 12 were dead, but lice at state headquarters con- irmed only six.

Air Force officials at the Pentagon identified the plane as a C-135, a military version of the Boeing 707 jetliner. They said it had departed from Wright-Paterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, and radio and radar contact was lost with the plane at 10:45 a.m. EDT. Capt. David Schmidt of Wright-Paterson said, “We do not know the status on casualties. There were 21 on the aircraft. ” have itf L HEALTH ^ NEWS O0l$ lots tKiceo you* ou to , £1^ Nervous? By Dr. Stewart D. Stephenson, D.C. Are you irritable, jittery, cry easily, find it hard to make decisions, depressed? Sometimes wish you could get away from it all? Many times, interference to the nervous system disturbs it’s function and we suffer from the above symp toms. Chiropractic reduces nerve pressure if caught in time. It allows the nerves to be restored towards normalcy and you can enjoy life again. If the cause of the condition is not corrected it may always progress and become worse. Don’t Ignore the danger signals: *Recurring headaches and ner vousness ’“Lower back and leg pains ’“Neck shoulder or arm pain If not corrected, those can lead to more serious complications. ’“Difficulty in breathing “Painful joints & restless nights “Numbness in hands, legs or feet Dr. Stewart D. Stephenson, d.c CHIROPRACTIC ARTS CENTER 1800 Wilde Oak Circle, Bryan (In Town & Country Center on E. 29th) 779-1555 United Press International SHREVEPORT — The super intendent of Caddo Parish schools said Wednesday an integration agreement reached with the Jus tice Department will not be felt by students and parents until 1982. “This fall there will be no man datory changes,” Harriet Turner said. “None of the mandated assignments are to take place this fall. All that is to be worked out by 1982.” The integration plan and con sent decree were signed late Tues day by both parties and lacked only the signature of U.S. District Judge Tom Stagg, who returns to day from a judicial conference in Biloxi, Miss. The agreement headed off court date for next Monday with Stagg to settle the desegregation controversy. Officials said the compromise ended a 16-year battle between the school board and the Justice Department. “I think it is a plan the commun ity as a whole can live with,” said Turner. “It is not a great deal of pairing and busing. The Justice Depart ment closed four schools (three elementary schools and one junior high, all in predominantly black neighborhoods). We see in East Baton Rouge Parish where they’ve closed 16 schools. That’s a fair cry from four.” Turner said the most important victory won by the board was keeping smaller children in schools near their homes. “This is what the people are concerned with, with their neigh borhood schools for their little fel lows,” she said. “The board has been able to get the Justice De partment to agree to this. Schools officials estimated the cost of integrating the system at $15.7 million — little more than $1.1 million for the coming school year and $14.6 million in 1982- 1983. Board members said they did not know where they would get the funds but the Justice Depart ment promised to help round up federal funding. State funding will depend on the current session of the Legislature, they said. The original Caddo desegrega tion suit was filed in 1965, leading to a 1973 agreement between the school board and the Justice De partment over teachers and staff. It ordered hiring blacks and whites on an equal basis, but that requirement was overturned by Tuesday’s pact. In 1977 U.S. District Judge Nauman Scott, a central figure in the Rapides Parish desegregation case, declared the system inte grated. But in 1978 the Justice Department intervened, asking the judge to revise his ruling and sparking the latest series of talks. College Students Can Qualify for $3,000 Bonus The Federal Aviation Adminis tration at Martinsburg Airfield said controllers last had contact at 28,000 feet. The plane went down in a rural area north of the city of Frederick and 45 miles west of Baltimore ab out 10:50 a.m., state police said. Donald Trimmer, chief fire dis patcher in Frederick, said the air craft apparently crashed at least 200 yards from the nearest house. “It didn’t set the fields on fire,” he said. “It’s raining and there’s a good heavy mist.” i*kii ■ DON'T FORGET MOTHER'S DAY & GRADUATION!

COME BY AND SEE! east Z9ih St. UlEicehouse Lryvon, Ur** JJZO] J13 *46 '6JJi (DALLAS, TX) - College students through out the southwest can now qualify for an immediate payment of $3,000 plus a monthly salary of approxi mately $850 per month while still in school. Students are eligible for this exceptional payment program after interviews and selection for the Navy’s nuclear engineering pro gram. The Navy's regional co ordinator in Dallas for this program, Lt. E.E. Collins, said the $3,000 bonus is a new incentive recently made available to “attract bright college students to this high technology train ing program. “It is an extraordinary opportunity for students to be paid this amount of money while still in school and at the same time, to have an unparalleled man agement position in nuclear engineering waiting for them upon graduation,” Collins said. After graduation, the regional coordinator ex plained that students will receive a commission as an officer in the Navy and then undergo one year of intensive theoretical and practical training in nu clear engineering. At the completion of this training, another bonus of $3,000 is paid. The engineer is then assigned an operational management position in volving direct operation of reactor plants. After four years, further bonuses are available up to $28,000, in addition to an annual salary of about $29,000 at present salary scales. Collins said any junior college student can apply for an interview who is majoring in physics, chem istry or engineering with a 3.3 GPA. In addition, any current senior or graduate student with one year of calculus and physics can apply. Applicants must be 27 years old when the degree they are currently pursuing is granted.
