U.S. Will IW
Turbo jrl Gopfrrs
Against Guerrillas
SAIGON, Viet Nam </P — The
United States has an experimental
aee up its sleeve which will soon
be played in the war against the
Communists in South Viet Nam.
The United States has quietly
brought in a special combat unit of
HU! A turbojet helicopters to try
out in practice what could change,
in theory, the face of guerrilla
warfare.
The unit, the Utility Tactical
Transport Co., is the only one of
its kind in the U.S. Army. It has
sparked criticism from Air Force
elements who feel that they are
already doing the job that the tur
bojets haven been sent to do.
The TIU1A can pack more fire
power than any fighter plane that
flow in World War II, American
military sources say.
Their mission here is to explore
fullv the possibilities of helicopter
war The many helicopters now in
uso in Viet Nam and in other cold
war areas are more like flying
buses than war machines. They
are also vulnerable to guerrilla
ground fire.
The turbojet was built in 1956
for the U.S. Defense Department
a? an air ambulance by the Bell
Aircraft Co. Last year, American
sources said, it decided to try
nut the machine as an armaments
platform devoted exclusively to
combat.
Officers and crew of the 15
helicopter unit, which arrived last
week, are not available to meet
reporters. and the helicopters
themselves are under wraps.
Initially, the turbojets will fly
a ■ escorts with their big sister
helicopters whose job is to ferry
Vietnamese troops into combat.
The turbojets are already packing
formidable firepower — 16 rockets
each and two .30 caliber machine
guns.
Their 100 knot speed, climb
performance and maneuverability
will be used to zero in on guerrilla
snipers, blasting them from their
hiding places \Vhile other heli
copters have a chance to unload
their troops and get away.
CUBA HAS 13 MISSILE SITES
HAVER FORD, Pa. UP — Cuba
now has 13 known missile sites and
more than 5,000 Russian techni
cians, says Rep. Richard Schwei
ker, (R-Pa.>. He says existence of
the bases was verified in a recent
briefing session for congressmen
in Washington.
Schweiker told a group of Haver
ford College students Monday
night that 11 bases are surface-to
air installations which use missiles
similar to America’s Nike series.
The others are surface-to-ship in
stallations designed to protect har
bors, he said.

OB
Phm)o e(l Capita! Move
May Have Adverse Effect
On State Bonding Position
FAIRBANKS A’: Councilman
IV'; Cox told the City Council
Monday night that some bonding
companies he visited last week in
New York said that the move of
Alaska’s capital might have a very
adverse effect on the state’s fi
nancial status and bonding posi
tion.
Cox, municipal utilities manager
Robert Wade, and Don Chandler
were in New York last week to
witness the bid opening on a $3
million revenue bond sale and in
terviewed various bonding house
officials.
In a statement to the Council
Cox said in part:
“A number of representatives of
financial houses asked if we
thought the capital would be
moved. To this, naturally, all we
could give was a personal opinion.
Trey, however, informed us that
in their opinion it would have a
very adverse effect on our financial
status and bonding position.”
He continued, “my reason for
mention of the possible state capi
tal move is not my desire to have
the capital at any particular loca
tion but to show my concern as
to the effect it will have not only
on the state but all its munici
palities in dealing with investment
houses, and the effective interest
race we may expect to receive.”

ANCHORAGE <•?'■ The presi
dent of radio station KHAR, Willis
Harpo! said Tuesday that he has
wired Congressman Ralph Rivers
and Lowell Thomas .Tr. that he
w:ll make time available on Heart
Radio on Oct. 29 at any hour
agreeable to the two candidates.
Noting that television time sat
isfactory to Thomas was not avail
able on that date, Harpt1! said in
a wire to both candidates: "In
keeping with what we view to be
our public affairs responsibility
we invite you to debate with your
opponent over Alaska’s leading
radio station, KHAR. W< will make
this time available at re:-- how
agreeable to both of you :d no
cost.”
Harpcl’s offer of the f «■ air
time was made following !K can
cellation of the Jaycee-'p wed
debate between Thomas 1 o 1
Riv< rs, because of the unavail
ability of early evening television
time. The debate had been sched
uled for 11 p.m. on Oct. 29.
Accordin • to Thomas’ spokes
man f a the debate negotiations,
Eben Le'vis. the Jaycee committee
wasn’t able to obtain early even
ing time on televiamn and it. was
Thomas’ feeling that “the desired
effect of the debate could not be
achieved at such a late hour.”
Earlier Rivers’ cam. aim man
ager. Joe Josephson. called upon
Thomas to reconsider the deci
sion. He said that Rivers has
scheduled his itinerary in the ex
pectation of the debate. In the
message to Thomas, Josephson alsr
said: "Since fllin< for office, you
I have failed and refused to di ■ u —
the issues of the campaign cxcop'
j in the vaguest terms. We ha
' locked forward to this debate a:
an opportunity to phi you dowr
on your viewpoint — if you hav<
one — on the public matters.”
Josephson said: “Alaskans have
a right to know who you are. what
| you stand for, and what forces
support you.”
Joscphson’s wire c: n n t i n ti e d,
“since you have no public record,
and have talked chiefly about your
opposition to President Kennedy’s
leadership in foreign policy, we
would be eager to to hear from
you about the problems facing
Alaska in your own interest. I
would point out that some Alas
kans may receive the impression
that you are unwilling to meet Mr.
Rivers face to face, and are con
tent to have done your cam
paigning while he has been in
Washington attending to the na
tion’s vital business.”
