Two officers from Wright- Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, presented the American and Soviet viewpoints on which country is ahead in military potential and technolo gical enterprise. From the base’s Foreign Technological Division, Lt. Keith Bubb and 2nd Lt. Chris Mathews, who played the part of comrade Capt. V.I. Tokarev of the Soviet Air Guards during the presentation, gave opposing views on the Soviets’ technology as a challenge to the United States. Bubb said the Soviets are spending more on the military, since it’s their top priority. For example, predictions are that in 1985, the Soviet Union will spend $230 billion compared to the United States’ $160 billion for research. Bubb then said the Soviets get their aero propulsion, com munication, composites, com puter technology, integrated circuits, manufacturing technol ogy, and semiconductors from the Western states. He also said Russia is starting to pass the Un ited States in all areas of scien tific technology. “Russia will do what only is necessary for protection,” Mathews (Tokarev) said. However, Bubb said the Rus sians are working toward domi nance in outer space. “Tokarev” said just the opposite, and the audience snickered at the state ment. “Tokarev” also said the Soviet Union seeks ly peace and secur ity. “We want to be always pre pared to protect ourselves,” he said. “We do not wish war, but to deal from a position of strength.” For the Russians, communism will not be secure until all other forms of govern ment are abolished. When Bubb explained his “comrade” was actually an American second lieutenant, the iole rd audience was shocked, had taken Russian oni school, but to the audii sounded convincing.Hesj couple of lines in Russiaui and then had a strong throughout the prograJ top it off, he wore thel military uniform.

Randolph Eugene Arledge, 29, who has a 12-year record of felony convictions, was con victed Tuesday of killing Carol Eugene Armstrong. Prosecutors said Arledge, driving a decommissioned sher iffs car, tricked Armstrong into stopping on the night of Aug. 30, 1981. He then forced her into his car, took her to a remote .mtfiiii county road and killed her. Prosecutor Jennifer Judin said Arledge was seen at the home of his sister with blood on his shirt, a bloody knife in his pocket and a human bite mark on his forehead. His sister, Cathy Williams, tes tified for the defense Arledge had been in a fight with his brother-in-law earlier in the evening, which they said ex plained the blood and bite mark. Williams at the time was shar ing a house with Vicki Jernigan, ex-wife of Joseph Paul Jernigan, 30, who is under death sentence for the murder of an elderly man less than two months be fore the Armstrong killing. Armstrong’s body was found on a dirt road six miles west of Corsicana. Though her jeans were found about 60 feet away, Judin said the state could not make a case for capital murder based on homicide in d | tion with rape. Judin said Arledge pn would not serve time' murder, since his Texas ence would run concur^ | the Tennessee term “In Tennessee, herf eligible for parole ur Texas, he would bedigitl: years.” Arledge was indictetl fellow inmates told aiitit Arledge had told themak slaying.
