serious it is the Air Force said today is yet to be determined P'anwhile resumption of combat missions using the plane in Southeast Asia will be delayed However test flying will continue although on a somewhat limited basis THE FLAW was discovered at the General Dynamics-Convair plant in San Diego where structural ground tests were being made on a test air frame The Air Force said the failure occurred in the "carry-through fitting" This is a one-piece steel fitting about which both wings of the swing-wing plane pivot The structure cracked during fatigue tests last week "A FINAL conclusion as to the impact of this test if any on resumption of combat operations will have to await detailed analysi the Air Force said The possible seriousness of the failure as viewed by the Air Force is shown by this statement from Pentagon officials: "This fitting may require modification to meet the re 47411797 ti4Z Bell Gels Contracts Morney Sterling Sieves announced today he has are 'd to serve as Tarrant County chairman of the Humphrey-Musk le campaign Sieves served in the same capacity for the Democrats in 1964 when President Johnson carried the county by a heavy margin Sieves said the reason he decided to take time out from his law practice to lead the county campaign again for the Democratic nominees for president and vice president is that Tarrant County has a vital interest in the outcome of the election a a THERE ARE four major areas of concern he said One is the Trinity River development program another is continuation of the Fill program and the third is development of the regional airport with the assistance of federal funds Finally he added there is the matter of continued expansion of new business and privateenterpriseinthe county THE MR FORCE said: "The aircraft will continue to fly However in the meanwhile the Air Force has imposed temporary limitations on the night envelope of the Ft II to control the peak structural loads it may encounter in the air "These load factors are much more conservative than those used in the fatigue test but they are still consistent with the operational training needs of the aircraft at this time" An Air Force spokesman pointed out that in fatigue tests the plane's capacity to withstand strain and load is pushed to the limit It was during one of these tests that the flaw was uncovered IAN 97000square-foot building is

Ilumphrey-Muskie ticket is elected Sieves said Sen Don Kennard as he did in 1964 will play a major role in the campaign in Tarrant County 'We will be working closely with Congressman Jim Wright" said
