Why the dead cows? They were
used to counteract the odor of the

Lt. Col. Frank Clay, son of Gen.

The informant said Clay, senior

The four officers — two field
advisers and two helicopter pilots
—were struck by bullets and flying
metal and windshield fragments
when their helicopter was hit by
Communist fire. The aircraft ap
parently was landing close to the
target of a Vietnamese infantry at
tack when it was hit.
All four were flown to Saigon
for medical treatment, but only
one was kept in a dispensary for
further attention. He was suffer
ing from a heel wound.
The damaged helicopter was one
of 14 that landed Vietnamese forces
to take part in an attack in the
Mekong River Delta area south of
Saigon.
Vietnamese military authorities
said 55 guerrillas were killed and
18 captured in the battle.

House Approved $3.67 Billion
For 1962 Space Program
WASHINGTON 1The House
voted today a record budget for
space exploration and heard a pre
diction that the burgeoning cost
of the program eventually may in
clude the life of an astronaut.
It sent to the Senate a bill to
authorize the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration to spend
$3.67 billion during the fiscal year
starting July 1.
This is almost three times the
agency’s budget for the present
year and is subject to actual fin
ancing in a separate appropriation
bill. '
There was no vocal opposition
to the measure after members of
the House Space Committee head
ed by Rep. George P. Miller, D
Calif., said continued heavy spend
ing was necessary to keep the
United States in front in the space
race.
It was Miller who said that part
of the cost of the program prob
ably would be loss of life for some
of the men engaged in it.

NEW HANDBOOK FOR
GIRL SCOUTS OF BRITAIN
LONDON UP) — A handbook on
love-making has been issued for
the Girl Scouts of Britain, liken
ing the perils of sex to the haz
ards of driving a car.
Adopting the parlance of a
driving instructor, the book warns
girls against thinking they can
“indulge in high-powered sex play
and then jam on the brakes at
the last moment.”
Chapters come under such head
ings as “Perils of the Road” and
“Under the Bonnet (British ex
pression for hood).”
The 32-page book was written
by Mrs. Nancy Warner, mother
of six and former teacher at the
exclusive Roedean School for girls.
It was published for the Girl
Guides Assn.
Girl Guides, as the Girl Scouts
are known here, number about
250,000 in Britain. An official of
their association said:
“Our book was too out of date
for the modern miss.”
All the world’s stock of mined
gold could be put into a room 30
feet high and 30 feet square.
