Sorkhabi. (News-Journal Staff Photo) Iranian. Officers Take Training At Air Base By JEM NORLAND News-Journal Stuff Writer American freedom speech i an Air Force -Whose country can supply its needs, instead of "buying and "very helpful" attitude on the part of everyone with whom they've worked, have, made the greates Impressions on'the minds of two Iranian Air Force qficers now taking bn-the-job training at Clovis Air Force''Base. The two Iranians are G. R.

Sorkhabi and Major M. Raso- liaii, who are taking both form-. and oh-the-job 'training in under provisions of the Mutual Defense Assistance pact (MDAP). Under provisions of the train- Ing agreements worked out with the U. S.

Air Force, the officers, who fill supply officer positions their organizations when they return, were flown half way around the world to begin their formal training at Warren Air Force Base, Cheyenne, Wyo. The course at Cheyenne, a three- months officers' supply course, was completed last month. Then, en Oct. 23, the pair left Cheyenne for Clovis, to begin eight weeks of on-the-jpb training, with units of the 140th Fighter Bomber Wing here. Their training here, under the Bing's Wife, Dixie, Is Dead BEVERLY HILLS Lee Crosby, 40-year-old wife of crooner Bing Crosby, died Saturday after lengthy illness.

Mrs. Crosby, who had been In a coma wince Monday, succumbed in her Beverly Hills home with her family by her Hide. She became critically ill this week And doctors had said there wus no chance for survival. She died at approximately 10 a.m. Exact nature of her illness has not been disclosed by her physician.

Mrs. Crosby underwent a serious abdominal operation last July. Mrs. Crosby was received into the Roman Catholic Church last Monday, the day before she sank Into a corna. The Rt.

Rev. Msgr. Patrick Concannon said he baptized her and that she had since received church sacraments Including extreme unction, Mrs. Crosby rallied sufficiently after her operation for Binfc to make a movie location trip to France, She bad been in 111 health govern! years. When he returned by train from New York last Saturday, Dixie disregarded her doctor's orders, got cut of bed, and met him at the depot in Los Angeles.

As a result ihe had a relapse next day. A star of Broadway musical comedies and the screen in the late Mrs. Crosby was born Wilma Wyatt in Karriman, Nov. 4, 1911. direction and supervision of Lt Stanley A.

Morrow, will show them virtually every phase of fighter wing supply procedures during the eight weeks. At the end, there'll be two days of review and examination on what they've learnec while at Clovis. The 'supply course at Warren Air Force Base and the training at Clovis were partially brought about by a changeover tho Iranian Air Force, where by that military unit switched from the British system of sun- ply procedures to the American system. This was brought about through tho American militajry advisors in Iran. Both men officers in fighter brigades (similar to our fighter squadrons) of the' Iranian Air Force, and both are ''career" men in the military service.

Major Rasolian has been In the service 18 years, and Lt. Sork habi has 16 years of service be hind htm. Both are especially Impressed with the freedom of speech In the United States, nnd said that such freedom was the biggest difference they noted between their country and this natitfn. "In Iran, everything has to bo cleared by headquarters," they elaborated. "Here, you can say what you know nnd believe." Their recreation here is limited almost entirely to the air base resources.

After they finish their light hours of training each day, hey usually spend a few hours in he Officer's club, and later they attend a movie at the base thea- r. Many evenings are spent In tudy and review, and there are quite a few hours of devoted to practicing up on their English which they first learned in Iran with an Iranian English dictionary close at hand. 1 1 JO :30 A.M.

The villagers are rapidly filling their dusty square to enjoy and marvel at the bright metal box which stands near the village hftll door, More than two feet long and a foot and a half wide, the box Is the new community radld sot.

Connected to It are two large speaker horns mounted In a pair of locust trees. The radio Is an Important thine In the lives of the sun-r6ddenert wheat farmers and herdsmen who gather each night to hear It messages. It represents their sole opportunity to receive news and entertainment broadcasts untainted by the propaganda of Moscow. Even more Important, It nt laast provides them with weapon of their own in the Battle of the Voices with Svllengrad, a small town across the Ulver Evros In Communist Bulgaria. Before the radio receiver came gift frbm the American Kco- nomle Mission to Greece Or- menloil was subjected to a slant air-wave assnult by Red loudspeakers In Svllengrad, Now It has tho means to answer, sound for sound.

The villagers are pleased that the horns In the locust trees can send the new voids In volume strong enough to cross tho river. Tho frontier Is 500 meters distant, but the new receiver with Its gasoline-powered electric generator creates sound big enough to travel at least seven kilometers.

Whrn Greek lutltbl troops sought to prevent occupation of the Island by Bulgaria, the Communist loudspeakers at Svllongrad busily blared forth tholr version of tho Incident, Had tho trouble broken oxit onty few weeks before, the villagers of Ormenlon would-have hftrf ho to lefttn the Iru6 facts.
