DELAYED FUSE BOMB Over the radio came word from the Air Force that nine bombs with delayed fuses had been dropped into the area earlier in the day when it was in Viet Cong hands.

Civil rights groups face a monumental task in trying to get Wallace impeached as a majority of both state legislative houses must approve it. A resolution asking impeachment of the governor must be presented by a House member. Alabama House Speaker Albert Brewer said the resolution must contain charges that the governor has violated some portion of the Alabama Constitu tion and usually would charge incompetence. MAJORITY VOTE If a majority of House mem bers then passed the resolution, a trial would then be held by the Senate with the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court presiding. Then, after charges are heard, the governor would be impeached only if a majority of the Senate voted for it.

Everyone pressed his face In the dirt as the second Skyraider began its bombing dive. The plane did not release its bombs, aDDarentlv after having been alerted by the liaison plane. It was not known whether the Skyraiders were from the American or Vietnamese air force, or why the bombers picked out the government troops for their target. In th rear company, the gcreams of a wounded Vietnam' ese soldier were heard.

Viet xiamese soldiers usually do not cry out even when they have been badly wounded. Duker took over the radio and called the regimental command post to report the bombing.
