Come WILCOX experience in glass sales to the southeastern division based in Atlanta Since joining ASG ten years ago he has been district manager at Baltimore southwestern division manager (Dallas) and most recently manager of the northeastern division Stenson has been in the ASG sales department for four years Previously he was vice president of Advance Distributing Co and sales representative for Goodrich Corp Wilcox was an architectural consultant with ASG before becoming a sales representative He holds a degree in architecture from the University of Michigan The management shifts will take place over a period of months to insure a smooth efficient transition Oil Damps spared US bombs Closest previous raids were against antiaircraft missile sites 15 miles south of Hanoi and 8 miles northeast of Haiphong Other raids destroyed a highway and railroad bridge 15 miles northwest of Hanoi and damaged the Uong Bi power plant 12 miles northeast of Haiphong The strikes not only destroyed a major portion of North Viet Nams petroleum supply but once' again gave a dramatic demonstration of Americas ability to bomb virtually at will anywhere in the Communist nation A US spokesman said the raids represented no change in the US policy of avoiding large population centers to prevent killing civilians The strike is consistent with our continuing policy of bombing only military targets in North Viet Nam he said Navy planes from the 7th Fleet carriers Constellation and Ranger initiated the attacks streaking over the center of Haiphong at 12:50 pm (12:50 am EDT today) in a furious eight-minute raid US Air Force F105 Thun-derchiefs followed exactly 25 minutes later bitting a similar petroleum facility three miles from the heart of Hanoi and just across the Red River from its center A major realignment of American Saint Gobains division sales managers has been announced by James Williams vice president-sales The moves are a result of the impending retirement of Pugh sales head of the southeastern division (Atlanta) who will leave in September after 36 years service with ASG John Kurtz now sales manager-northeastern division (New York) will move to the southeastern division assuming Pughs former duties Thomas Stenson will be promoted from sales representative in Detroit to sales manager-northeastern division Raymond Wilcox formerly located in the Cleveland area will become sales representative in Detroit Mr Kurtz brings many years Bombers Hit Continued From Page 1 rescue aircraft failed to find him Hanoi said seven American planes were shot down four over Hanoi and three over Haiphong It said several pilots were captured The official Soviet Tass news agency also reported from Hanoi that seven American planes were shot down in an hour-long attack on Dalama a suburb of Hanoi It reported giant columns of black and white smoke over the city and fires Todays events are proof of the further criminal escalation of the air war against North Viet Nam Tass said Reports of the raid brought urgent messages from London to the British embassy in Washington to ascertain full details London dispatches reported It was indicated the raids would touch off a major political storm in Britain where the Labor government supports US policy in Viet Nam This has crippled their efforts for some time military spokesman said The bombing attacks sent smoke spiraling up almost seven miles high in mushroom clouds that spread out for 50 square miles at their tops and cast dark shadows on the two cities that formerly had been run out on the track he said in explaining there were no plans to make changes in the restraining fence People are sending their pre-school children to zoos in taxicabs nowadays Times have changed since you and I were kids and our
