Give them each a frosty drink And it's cooler than you think. --Murray Beli The Tucson weather is commencing to run a little drier, but it will be several days y.et, according to Weatherman King before it becomes noticeable to mere mortals. And, as the humidity comes down, the mercury is going up --way up over 100 degrees, 'so don't get out the blankets yet. Tucson's high-low reading at the weather bureau yesterday was 98-80.

'Unforgiveahle Sin' State Judge Hits At D-M Officials HOLBROOK--(IP)--Davis-Monthan air force base officials were accused today by an Arizona judge of an "unfor- giveable sin" in blind flying policy he blamed for the collision of two B-50 bombers last Friday. Eight were killed in the tragic collision over the Arizona desert. Navajo County Superior Judge Don T.

Udall called for "drastic action" in the form of manslaugh- charges against the Davis-Mon- base official he said "dis- foreseeable consequences others in this case and ailing through omission to warn he pilots in the air that' blind lying-was taking place in the immediate vicinity." ONE OF THE bombers involved the crash was reported flying 'lind. Udall's son, Lt. Franklin D.

Since that time, Udall has made' an extensive study of air policy on blind flying and made recommendations to officials to correct dangers he felt existed. Udall sent telegrams containing the charges to Sen.

LevereU Saltonstall chairman of the senate armed services committee, and Air Force Department Secretary Harold E. Talbott. "Negative policies with respect to blind flying and lack of coordination between officers and planes aloft have again taken the lives of eight airmen," he said, "I URGJK and. recommend that manslaughter charges under No. 119 article of war be instituted against the officer guilty" in the crash.

He said the air base had apparently "failed to alert the men who were killed of the danger then existing. He said it was an "unfor- giveable sin for base commanders allow two bombers to collide in mid-air when one is flying blind and drastic action should be taken against the guilty parties in this case." War's End Could Come Next Week PANMUNJOM Teams of allied and Communist officers --including for the first time the men who would oversee a cease- fire--worked in nine secret sessions today on the final details of a Korean armistice. Two staff officer sessions were set for 10 a.m. Tuesday (6 Tucson time). The Reds, meanwhile, put the finishing touches on a large hut to be used for signing the historic document which would end the three years of fighting.

THERE WAS NO official indication just when the armistice would be signed, but some observers said it could be within a week. Fighting would end 12 hours after the signing. A month-long deadlock in' the negotiations was broken with a Communist announcement yesterday that the Reds were ready to prepare for the signing-. Three U. S.

members of the military armistice 'commission flew here unexpectedly for the first time and met for 1 hour, 50 minutes with Communist members of the commission. The commission, composed of top officers from the. opposing armies, would control the buffer between the two forces. Tho Red and ajlied commission members discussed yangemcnts which they une Reds). will consider and probably come back with their said NajVy Capt.

B. M. Coleman, McLean, one of the U. S. nembers.

Another meeting was planned, but no time was given. THE SPEEDED of sessions--running from 10 a.m. to p.m. (4:05 a.m. today--Tucson' time) heightened optimism for an early signing.

Total time spent by five dif- a ferent teams, including interpreters and liaison officers, was seven hours, 42 minutes. The main truce delegations presumably are awaiting a call from the lower level staff officers to set a date for the-signing. Both sides quickened the pace toward a truce signing in the wake of the sudden Communist announcement yesterday that they were ready to go ahead with final preparations in return for allied assurance that South Korc-a would abide by a cease-fire.
