a a a a a a a 6 SUNDAY, MAY 9, 1976. DAILY NEWS, BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY National defense must remain strong: Leslie By JIM HIGHLAND Daily News Special Writer Brig. Gen. James M. Leslie said here Friday he sees no decline in the need for a strong aational defense establishment or the need for young men and women to serve that establishment during the next 40 years.

Leslie, commander of the second ROTC region at Ft. Knox, made these and other comments during Western Kentucky University's ROTC commissioning exercises. He presented formal cer- GOP 59 By The Associated Press Republicans in five states met in district and state conventions Saturday to 59 national convention delegates. Democrats in Wyoming were also electing national convention delegates. The state meetings came as Republican challenger Ronald Reagan strove to expand his delegate lead over President Ford.

On the basis of his 96-0 delegate sweep over Ford in last Saturday's Texas primary election and primary victories this past- week in Indiana, Georgia and Alabama, Reagan had 366 national convention delegates to Ford's 292. In addition, 329 uncommitted GOP delegates had been selected. OKLAHOMA: Republicans convened at six district conventions to select 18 of their 36 national convention delegates. Three delegates were to be chosen at each district convention. Delegates selected at the earlier precinct and county conventions voted at the district meetings.

Informal polls showed Reagan had a commanding lead over Ford among those delegates. Betty Brake, Reagan's state campaign co said she was confident Reagan supporters would win all 18 of the delegates to be elected Saturday and would also take the final 18 to be selected at the GOP state convention on May 15. Ford's state director, Ron Two are injured in separate weekend crashes Two persons have been injured in separate traffic accidents this weekend. State police said one of the men, Morton Gaddie, 48, of Bowling Green, was admitted to City-County Hospital Saturday morning where he was listed in guarded condition. Gaddie was the driver of a pickup truck which went out of control on U.S.

231 less than three miles north of Bowling Green and struck two trees, officers said. The crash occurred at 1:30 a.m. Saturday. A three-car accident shortly after noon Friday at Scottsville and Smallhouse roads sent another man to the hospital. Johnnie Speakman of 2917 Smallhouse Road was treated at City-County Hospital for minor injuries suffered in the crash and was released.

Speakman's car was involved in the collision with other vehicles driven by Stephen Dotson, 31, of 1709 Smallhouse Road and Alan 26, of Colony Apartments, tificates of commission as second lieutenants to 15 ROTC cadets who completed their military training as part of the WKU academic program. Leslie talked about the responsibilities of a young military officer and told a story a division commander during about a major general a who was World War Il's "Battle of the The division had been ordered to relieve another division, Leslie said, and the commanding general was worried about a German assault. He told electing delegates Horton, said he thought Ford had a chance to pick up some delegates, but he conceded Reagan was very strong among Oklahoma Republicans. WYOMING: Fifteen delegates to the Republican National Convention, including 11. who said they favor Reagan, faced confirmation votes Saturday at the GOP state convention.

The state GOP convention in Cheyenne was also to select two additional delegates to fill out the state's 17-person national convention delegation. Reagan's state coordinator, Dick Jones, said even he was surprised by the magnitude of Reagan support during the deliberations of the nominating committee that selected the delegates being voted on Saturday. Wyoming Democrats, meanwhile, were meeting to select 16 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in July in New York City. Wyoming has 10 votes at the Democratic convention. Four of the Democratic delegates will have one full vote while the other 12 each will carry onehalf vote to the national convention.

Further action on the Democratic front was to come Sunday when Maine's state Democratic convention was to elect 20 national convention delegates. Going into the weekend activity, former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter held 555 national convention delegates and a commanding lead in the Democratic presidential contest. His nearest rival was Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington, who had 199 delegates but has terminated his active campaign.

Hearing Loss is not a Sign of Old Age his aide he would like to meet the officers who would be commanding the troops in the field. The aide assembled 16 lieutenants, and when the commanding general walked into the room, he looked at the young lieutenants and asked his aide to go outside with him for a moment. "What.

are these men doing here?" the general asked. The aide replied that the general instructed him to get the men who would be in charge of the troops, and the aide thought these were the men general wanted to talk to." At the point, the general walked back inside and gave a "pep talk" that he initially planned for much higher ranking officers, Leslie said. Leslie used the story to illustrate the importance of junior officers at various levels of the military organization. He noted that the 20,000 troops in the division were divided into platoons, each of which was commanded by a young lieutenant. Their actions "make or break a division," Leslie said.

He quoted another general who defined a professional officer as a man of "unimpeachable integrity" who accomplishes the task with the resources provided and a minimum of casualties. In addition, Leslie said, there were four other characteristics of a good military officer including intelligence, imagination, ingenuity, and initiative. "You can't be good at your job unless you increase knowledge he said. Finding new ways and challen ging that which doesn't make sense also are important. Leslie said there is always a "way to get the job done," and said younger officers must accept the responsibility of putting the completion of work ahead of their recreational activities.

He said the awarding of commissions marked the second lieutenants as leaders, but at the same time, he pointed out that the true leader is only a "man revealed in a crisis." Keep in mind that no military person "can rise so high that he is responsible to no other" Leslie added. SAVE 10-HP Tractor Sears 10-HP lawn tractor with 36-in. mower. 3 speeds forward, reverse.

Jefferson school board could face million deficit LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) The Jefferson County Board of Education, financially hardpressed to pay for the additional expenses of court ordered busing for desegregation, could face a $10 million to $12 million budget deficit next year. Supt. Ernest C. Grayson based his estimate of the potential deficit on continued costs of busing, inflation, raises guaranteed to teachers and adminis- trators, and continuation of existing programs.

Grayson said that the county board must decide if it will raise taxes to collect the additional money needed to balance the budget, or cut back on programs and teachers. It would appear at first glance that raising taxes would be the answer, but that's not necessarily the case. The board can raise an estimated $5 million a year through a utilities tax; about $11 million by adding a surtax to the existing occupational tax; or about $8 million through a 10 cent hike in the property tax, Grayson said. The financial problems came to the fore last week when U.S. District Judge James F.

Gordon, informed by the board that costs were soaring, said that he expected the school system raise the money necessary.
