Crumlin of Clinton, recipant of the Ful- bright Scholars Award for the Summer 1970, were meeting with U. S. Ambassador Kenneth B.

The August meeting were scheduled by the United States Education Foundation in India, in cooperation with HEW, for 24 secondary World History teachers from the U. S. who participated in a seminar in the History and Culture of India. The group met with Am bassador Keating at the U. S. Embassy. No photographs were permitted in the area were the assembly was held. The Am bassador addressed his re marks primarily to questions asked about US AID (U. S. for eign aid to India) and present trends in political affairs of the country. Commenting on USAID to India, the largest amount pre sently being given to any for eign country, the Ambassador said he believes the amount is highly justified. Other staff members of the Embassy gave more detailed accounts of how USAID is being used. Addressing the teachers and two other groups of professors from American Colleges and Universities in her home, the P.M. spoke in response to ques tions by the groups. She spoke bitterly about the land grab movement, stating “Land grab is unconstitutional and undemo- L A DIES’ STRETCH CAPRI PANTS $196 Reg. 2.94 Only— ■ BIG ROM.

Two Jeanies Are Enough For Lt. Col. Spillers LABOR DAY BAR-B-QUE READY 8:00 A. M. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 HAM. lb. $2.00 HASH, qt. $2.00 (COOKED BY CHARLES LOGAN) * REV. CRUMLIN cratic/ She pointed out that certain political parties are trying to outwit each other by adopting certain undesirable methods. Replying to a question, Mrs. Gandhi said that by and large India has friendly relations with the U. S. The U. S. loans given to India, she stated, have be come very (expensive because of the strings attached. India Is now asking tor re-scheduling of earlier loan agreements, she stated. “Under-employment and not un-employment”, said the P.M., “is the chief problem of India today. People have jobs but they are not satisfied with the jobs and wages.” In response to a suggestion that India’s non-alignment policy is one-sided, Mrs. Gandhi denied this fact. She said the country’s policy should be based on historical com- plusions and geographical situ ations. Combat fliers in Vietnam often give names to their planes. It is a time-honored Air Force tradition that many pilots follow. Lt. Col. Jack C. Spillers, of Clinton and the son of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Spillers of this city, naturally sought to sought to give his Republic Thunderchief, number 220, an appropriate name. He chose the slogan “I Dream of Jeanie," a popular television show and also the name of Spillers’wife. » And so, he flew his plane over North Vietnam with the “I Dream of Jeanie* slogan emblazoned on its side. There was also a turbained genie coming from an Aladdin’s lamp just below the cockpit. Spillers finished his 100 mis sions and left Thailand in 1967. He returned in 1969 to begin another tour of duty and Jeanie was waiting for him. However, the plane had l)een attached to another squadron, and Spillers was unable to get it. He was assigned to another plane, num ber 229, and he dubbed it “ Jeanie II.” He had great success with this plane, in that he has log ged the same number of take offs and landings, a very im portant feat for a pilot who wants to keep himself and his plane in tact. However, “Jeanie I* was not quite as fortunate. One day in April, the plane’s engine losts its pressure and started down. The pilot of the plane ejected and landed safely, but the plane plowed up a Thai farmer’s field before finally coming to rest. It was in several million pieces, and the only part of the plane left intact was the tail as sembly. On this part of the plane was the number, 220, still visible. Spillers was on leave at the time and was presented his old plane’s number. He took it and made a plaque, dedicat ed to his wife, whose name has flown over 200 missions in hostile territory. He presented it to his wife at the plane’s old home base in Thailand. Spillers said after the pre sentation, “That’s why when Jeanie got the chance to visit the base briefly, we wanted to present what was left of num ber 220 to her. There are only two “Jeanies” left. But that’s enough to see me through.” PIEDMONT TEC SETS PUCEMENT TEST ANY THURSDAY, 7:00 P. M. ANY SATURDAY, 9:00 A. M.
