F105 fleet has been lost WASHINGTON (AP) The Vietnam war has cost the Air Force about half of its F105 Thunderchief fighter-bombers, Pentagon figures indicated today. About 400 of the Thunder- chiefs remain in service after more than two years of the air war against North Vietnam. The Air Force bought 818 of the planes before turning to the F4 Phantom in 1964. No more FlOSs are being built. The loss comes to about $1 billion worth of FlOSs, which have flown more than 75 per cent of the Air Force missions against targets in North Vietnam.

Sources said some of the 818 FlOSs have been lost through mishaps outside of Southeast Asia, but that the great bulk of them were destroyed in incidents associated with the war.

'Straight highway BATON ROUGE The Louisiana Department of Highways will begin a detailed survey of the proposed "straight run" highway of 12 miles linking Calcasieu and Cameron parishes from Big Lake to a point some five miles east of Cameron. Cameron State Rep.

Conway LeBleu, in a telephone interview with the Lake Charles American Press today, said that Arsene Stewart, director of the Department of Highways, and T. W. Parrish, department engineer, conferred with him today following a conference of officials and civic leaders with Gov. John J. McK i Wednesday afternoon.

"The crews will begin making the survey within two to four weeks," LeBleu said. Elated over the progress made on the proposed straight road linking the two parishes, Rep. LeBleu said that the survey grew out of the successful RUSSELL HOFFPAUIR FLOYD FONTENOT GRADUATES City Police patrolmen Russell Hoffpauir, 27, of 3124 Burton St. and Floyd Fonle- not, 25. of 910 10th are among officers completing the fifth session of the Louisiana Basic Training Academy at Bunkie Friday.

Dock Board gets $800,000 check The Port of Lake Charles received its largest single amount of financial aid from the federal government in its expansion program, when R. R. Morrison, regional director of the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce presented a check for $800,000 to the Dock Board at 1:30 p.m. today.

The check represents "matching funds" which comes as reimbursement for money already expended by the Dock Board in connection with the purchase of the 26-acre tract adjoining Cities Service Oil on which the $7 million bulk loading facility is to be erected. Presently the foundation work for a railroad serving the facility on the Calcasieu River channel and the service road to the plant, are under construc- ion, Howard Neely, port direc- said. D. Walter Jessen and Associates, of Lake Charles designed the plant which is said to be ca- Dable of loading all types of bulk cargo on ships. These cargoes include soy beans, bulk rice, raw petroleum coke, grain, wood chips, coal and similar commodities.

Neely said, "In the next seven months the facility will be able to receive coke," if the construction schedule keeps at its present pace. It will be some time after that before the huge conveyor machinery, which will carry bulk cargo to ships, will be completed and placed in service. Neely could not give the expected target date for completion of the overall facility. Accompanying Morrison for the presentation was W. W.

Greif, chief, Construction Management Branch, Public Works Division, EDA, of Austin, Tex. The presentation took place in the dock board conference room. Optimist club rifle team wins awards Awards were presented to the South Lake Charles Optimist Junior Rifle Club at a meeting this week in the Piccadilly Cafeteria.

Meeting with the governor, in addition to LeBleu, who has taken a lead in efforts to bring about a realization of the 10- year-old dream of Cameron Parish residents, were Sheriff Claude Eagleson, Police Juror Charles Riggs, Assistant Dist. Atty. Jerry Jones, E. J. Dronet, chairman of the Cameron Parish Development Association, all of Cameron Parish, and a delegation from Lake Charles and Calcasieu Parish.

Heading the Calcasieu delegation were Johnny Caldarera, Ward 3 juror, who represented the Police Jury; Mayor James E. Sudduth, Adolph Janca, manager of the Association of Commerce, and Calcasieu Parish State Rep. A. J. (Tubby) Lyons, Mike Hogan and Harry Hollins.

Gov. McKeithen pointed out that the lack of finances at the present time would forestall unmediate construction on the project. However, LeBleu said, "the governor felt that if the survey was completed and costs estimated, the Highway Department would be in a position to formulate plans and be ready to advertise for bids when money for the project would be available." The road is expected to run through the marshland from a point at Grand Lake, Unking with the present Gulf Highway, and pass along a ridge that would convert the area into a possible recreational site. In authorizing the survey, Le- Bleu said, the governor showed his wholehearted support of the road plan. The road project previously had been endorsed by the Cameron Parish Police, Jury, the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury and the Lake Charles City Council.

The City Council endorsed the project some nine years ago during the administration of Mayor Sidney Gray, FlHEMAN'fi FUNERAL Tiw cukti rlslaat Fire CbUf Leon P.
