attacks
United Press International
FORT WORTH — Bombers
and tankers from two Texas air
bases scrambled Sunday on a
practice response to nuclear at
tack, a base spokesman said.
The worldwide Strategic Air
Command exercise Gallant
Shield 84 drew B-52 bombers
and KC-135 tankers from the
7th Bomb Wing at Carswell Air
Force Base at Fort Worth, and
from the 96th Bomb Wing at
Abilene.
Carswell spokesman Maj.
Bob Lake said the exercise
started April 3, and included
the scramble to aircraft from
Texas bases at dawn Sunday in
a “simultaneous exercise posi
tive control launch.”
Lake said the exercise simu
lated a warning of nuclear at
tack on the United States, with
crews practicing the carefully
controlled moves toward a
counterstrike.
“The bomber and tanker
force can be launched within
minutes to ensure survival,”
Lake said.
He said the launch was timed
with the Federal Aviation Ad
ministration to ensure the
eight-engine bombers would
not interfere with commercial
aviation.
At the same time, private pi
lots were warned to watch for
huge, camouflaged high speed
aircraft, Lake said.

“In every polling place, the
judges and clerks were just ag
hast,” she said. “I ran back and
forth all day getting more sup
plies.”
The proposition failed by a
vote of 1,564 to 1,006.
Cablevision spokesmen last
week said only about 400 cus
tomers in the town of about
16,000 subscribed to the Play
boy Channel.
“The vote is pretty clear-cut,”
Krause said. “I don’t think it is
so much that they don’t want
the ordinance, but they don’t
want the censorship.”
She said it was the biggest
turnout in recent memory.
