Air Force film won’t feature Bo
United Press Internationa]
FORT WORTH, Texas —
Plans to use a portion of the Bo
Derek movie “10” in an Air
Force training film introducing
the KC-10 tanker were scrapped
because of possible violation of
Air Force equality policies, offi
cials said Wednesday.
The Strategic Air Com
mand’s Aerospace Audiovisual,
Service, located at Carswell Air
Force Base, wanted to show De
rek, clad in her swimsuit and
famous beaded braids, loping
sensually up a beach toward the.
ing i
age of the KC-10,tne Air Force’s
newest refueling tanker plane.
The shots were to be inters-
persed with videotape of a smil
ing airman in fatigues, instead
of 'Dudley Moore, running to
ward her.

But Col. James Elmer, com
mander of the Air Forcewide
AAVS, said in a telephone inter
view from Norton Air Force
Base in California that showing
Derek, or any swimsuit-clad
woman in such a situation,
might have been considered sex
ist under Air Force policies and
would have been nixed even
tually.
He said the decision probably
hastened by widespread
ilans to use
ne film as
another in a series of razzledaz-
zle training film techniques that
have included use of such char
acters as Darth Vader.
“It was the kind of thing that
would have been caught in the
review process,” Elmer said. “It
had not been through the review
levels. The next people up
would have said it was a beauti
ful idea and tremendously crea
tive, but this part (policy) over
rides it.”

DALLAS — Attacking Presi
dent Reagan’s pro-nuclear poli
cies, a prominent Roman Catho
lic bishop said true Catholics
would be committing a sin think
ing it is all right kill millions of
people to protect their way of
life.
Bishop L.T. Matthiesen of
the Catholic Diocese of Amarillo
urged Catholics Wednesday
night to pressure the federal
government to abandon the
production and use of nuclear
weapons.
“I’m sorry,” Matthiesen said.
“You can’t sit back any more and
say T don’t make the decisions . I
don’t have any power (to affect)
the community that makes the
decisions about our world.’ Yes,
I do.”
Citing Reagan administration
decisions to develop the neutron
bomb, the MX missile system
and the B-l bomber, the bishop
said the time had come when
Catholics could no longer sup
port the status quo and remain
true to their religion.
“The primary sin we are com
mitting is thinking that we can
kill millions of people to protect
our way of life,” he said. “To
believe that we are in som
endowed to pass judgen
our enemies is a new fon
ht-M-sV."
I he bishop also said.
call of the church in the
century is clear. Put up
weapons. The world canwl
with these horrible instnu]
of death.”
Matthiesen spoke at i
