WALKERSVILLE, Md. — An

lice at state headquarters con-
irmed only six.

Rescue teams and other author

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

There were 21 on the aircraft. ”

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

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.”

(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.
