Lt. Carol Ann Drazba, daughter of Mrs. Marcella Drazba, 703 Butler Dunmore, lost her life in a helicopter accident about 10 miles northeast of Saigon which, claimed the lives of six persons, including another Army nurse and the son of the Pulitzer prize winning White House correspondent of United Press International. The young nurse from more was described Saturday as a first-rate nurse by former instructors at Scranton State General Hospital School of Nursing and a former classmate at that institution. Ironically, because she was such good nurse, she was granted permission to take a vacation and began that vacation by hitching a ride on the ill-fated helicopter.

She had planned to tour the central coast of Viet Nam with a companion from the 3rd Field Hospital, Lt. Elizabeth Ann Jones, 22, Allendale, S.C. The vacation was the first the girls were given since they arrived in Viet Nam last Nov. 1. "Both of these girls were such fine nurses," said Major Edith Nuttall, chief of nurses at the hospital where they were stationed, indicating that they were awarded the time off from their regular duties because of the quality 1 of their work.

"They were just about everything one would hope professional nurses to be," Major Nuttall continued, "We're all very upset about this." The crash occurred shortly after the helicopter left Saigon's Tan Son Nhut Airport for Qui Nhon, along the central coast. Approximately 10 minutes after takeoff, the helicopter hit an electric power line, crashed and burned. Military authorities said the craft might have been hit by guerrilla ground fire and convened a special board to investigate the incident. The doomed chopper was piloted by Capt. Albert M.

Smith, 27, son of Mr. and Mrs. Merriman Smith, Washington, D.C. The elder Smith is UPI's nationally famous reporter. Also killed were Charles M.

Honour Norcross, commander of Capt. Smith's outfit, the 145th Aviation Battalion; Capt. Thomas W. Stasko, Aurora, an Army doctor; and two crewmen aboard the helicopter, SP-4 Christopher J. Lantz, East Cleveland, Ohio, and SP-4 Gary R.

Huachuca, before she volunteered for Viet Nam duty. She was accompanied all through her school days and Army career by another Dunmorean, Lt. Marianna Fisher, 22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Fisher, 1223 Clay Dunmore.

Although the unemployment rate was cut by almost 50 per cent from the January, 1963, figure of 13.9 per cent, according to the Industrial Score board, employment in the area increased by only 4,000 in the same period. The report also noted that Radio Corporation of America will build a $12 million plant in Scranton to manufacture TV receiving and picture tubes, with 1,200 persons to be employed at peak of production. The Business Survey, published by the Pennsylvania State University, stated December employment edged up to the best record since the 1957-58 recession. It noted that the addition of 100 factory jobs over the month was extra strong for that time of year and that the 400 jobs added to nonfactory industries were about normal for the month. Also noteworthy, the report said, was that nonmanufactur-ets, ing employment in the area had made better gains for most of the year after a twoyear-period of low-level stability which followed a long downward trend.

A spurt of industrial power sales put the index for this series higher than it has been at any since 1959, the report said, which indicates increased factory activity, borne out by longer average factory workweek. Durable goods makers, the report continued, were, especially active and the workweek for this industry sector at 43.5 hours topped the average for the state of 41.8 hours. Two local industrial groups accounted for most of the increase, the report. revealedelectrical machinery manufacturers, averaging more than 46 hours, and makers of fabricated metal products, 43.5 hours. Increases in all phases of business activity were noted in December, 1965, over the previous month, except the department store sales index, down four per per cent from the previous month, but up seven per cent from a year ago.

Some of the individuals, faced with substantial payments dating back to 1960, have explored payment in installments weekly or otherwise. case reported dealt with husband and wife, both working, with a total annual income of $16,000 but without payment of a single dollar in wage and profit taxes. Expectations are that the rush to pay delinquent wage and profit taxes-and to meet current obligations-will be expanded shortly when a joint steering committee of council and school board dispatch thousands of special forms to the "self employed" whose wage and profit taxes are not withheld. The forms will provide for each taxpayer estimating his or her 1966 income and paying the first quarterly installment based on the estimate.

They also will make provision for the "self-employed" to report on delinquent wage and profit taxes back to 1960 and to arrange for paying such obligations quarterly installments along with current taxes. No accurate figure was available as to, the number of instance will also hit federal and state workers not subject to wage and profit tax withholding -but it was reported "3,000 or estimate-report forms will be issued subsequent to meeting of the joint steering committee Monday at 4 p.m. Since doctors, lawyers and merchants, who can be considered in the upper income brackare mong those scheduled to get the forms, it will occasion little surprise if some individuals will be pressed for payment of $1,000 or more in delinquent wage and profit taxes. Once the estim at e-report forms are filed with the tax office it will be possible, using an IBM computer system, to issue quarterly bills and to keep a constant and immediately available check on the wage and profit tax status of every taxpayer, together but were separated when they arrived there, Mrs. Fisher told The Scran- tonian Saturday that the late Lt.

One of the late lieutenant's former classmates, Alice McCrone, R.N., 22, 319 Church Dunmore, recalled her memo ries about her. "There's a leader in every crowd," said Miss McCrone, "and Carol was one of them." "She was the type that, if there was something to be done, she'd want to do it she always took the initiative, She was very active on all kinds of committees. Her picture was all through our high school yearbook," Miss McCrone stated. Miss McCrone talked about Lt. Drazba and Lt.

Fisher at the same time because, she said, they were "always together." "You couldn't say enough about either of them," Miss McCrone emphasized, "They were very. intelligent and excellent nurses. Everyone looked up to them, They were on the top of far as marks and personalities." She described Lt. Drazba as "a hard and serious worker," and recalled a New Year's Eve party shortly after. they had passed their State Board examinations in 1964.

"I spent the entire night of the party with her (Lt. Drazba) and, although she was always a serious worker, she knew how to have a good time and how to enjoy herself."
