Fernandez died in Viet Nam on Feb. 18 when he flung him-self on an exploding grenade to protect his comrades from the blast. He has been nominated for the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. It was a dreary, chilly day as casket artived in Santa Fe National Cemetery in a funeral from Fernandez' home town, Los Lunas.

But the sun broke through as the Rev. Francis Schuler conducted the graveside services. Nearly 1,500 persons were waiting at the cemetery when the entourage arrived. Another 500 persons followed the hearse and limousine catrying family for the 80-mile trip from Los Lunas. ary's total enlistment approaches the 50,245 who siened with the military last September proceding big draft call increases forecast by President Johnson.

What the Pentagon calls "continued favorable enlistment trend" has alreadv permitted a slash in the March draft call, originally set at 900 inductees. This will make the March call lowest since last August's 16,500. But the department took pains to say the cutback does not reflect any change in plans to raise manpower by 113,000 to 093.000 before July 1. Preliminary figures put overall January enlistments at 300 with Army enlistments totaling 18,500 highest monthly total in more than 10 years and 118 per cent above January 1965.

Government, business join forces to send massive quantity of food to hungry nations WASHINGTON (AP)-American government and business are joining hands to move the Jargest quantity of food ever 'supplied to hungry people in an equivalent period of time in the world's history. For wheat alone it will take the equivalent of 300,000 average-size freight cars to move one year's supply of this food from warehouses and elevators to shipside for transportation oceans and seas. This would make freight about 2,055 miles in length or about two thirds of the distance between New York City and San Francisco. And this for only one of many commodities in the program.

Larger amounts are expected be shipped in subsequent "years under an expanded for-Freedom program recently laid before Congress by President Johnson. The enormous task of bling, loading and transporting the food provided under the aid programs is being carried out with a maximum amount of order and a minimum of confusion- thanks to cooperative efforts of government agencies, grain dealers and exporters, transportation agencies, ship brokers, ship owners and representatives of countries receiving the food. The Agriculture Department is in overall charge of the movement food shipped under aid programs. When agreement is reached to provide food aid, the department issues purchase authorizations to the countries receiving the aid.

These authorizations empower the recipient country, operating through its own purchasing agency located in this country, to go into the market to buy foods specified in the authorization. With its knowledge. of the quantities of food available in this country and where it is located, the department sets forth in the authorizations the types and classes of foods that may be bought, the time period in which it may be bought, the ports from which must be State School Administrators (Continued from Page One) taxpayers on real property those who may vote on levies and bond issues. -Any extension of the 16-yearold school attendance law. -Fragmented federal aid programs which tend to take away from the state and local community.

Apollo success (Continued from Page One) before and I never want to see it happen again," says Mueller. Given the go-ahead, the Saturn 1B performed flawlessly.

It pushed the Apollo ship to a peak altitude and provided the initial push to drive it back toward earth. Two bursts of a spacecraft motor helped increase the re entry speed to more than 18,000 miles an hour.

Mueller said the only deviation in the flight was: a slightly lower than performance by the spacecraft motor, but that it was acceptable. The motor will be used to steer astronauts to; the" moon and back. Guidance, control and other. systems operated smoothly as the vehicle made Is plunge.
