Decision Near On
College
WASHINGTON (UPI) —1116
Selective Service System will
decide within the next 10 days
whether to begin drafting
college students to meet
manpower needs of the war in
Viet Nam.
The decision will be up to Lt.
Gen. Lewis B. ’Hershey, direc
tor of the system. If he decides
to tap the college manpower
pool, the poorest students will
get the first 1-A classifications
and some will be drafted by
next year.
Hershey told a news confer
ence Wednesday he will make
up his mind sometime “in the
next 10 days.”
If the blanket deferment
system for college students is
ended, Hershey said it would be
replaced by a class-standing
test used during the Korean
War.
Under this system, a college
student takes a test to see
where he stands in comparison
to the rest of his class. If he
scores well, he Is generally
considered safe from a draft
call. If he does poorly, he may
be called up. The testing
system also applies to graduate
students.
In the case or high school
students who want to go to
college, the system works
basically the same. The high
school student’s test can
determine whether he has the
ability to do college work.
During the Korean War,
class-standing tests usually
gave deferments to:
—Freshmen In the upper half
of the class.
—Sophomores in the uppe.
two-thirds.
—Juniors in the upper three
fourths.

Texas Attorney Commanding
Attention At Mossier Trial
By CHARLES E. TAYLOR
United Press International
MIAMI (UPI) —Glamorous
Candace Mossier draws the
stares, but a juror-wise Texas
attorney is commanding the
attention in the murder-for
passion trial of the blonde
widow and her handsome
nephew.
Big Percy Foreman is using
all the wisdom of 38 years of
practice in selecting a jury he
hopes will be sympathetic to
Candace and Melvin Lane
Powers, despite the lurid
testimony the state is expected
to introduce.
The trial of the alleged lovers
on charges of murdering multi
millionaire Jacques Mossier,
predicted It would be next week
before a jury is approved.
Foreman has carefuUy-and

MRS. CANDACE MOSS
L£R is on trial in Miami,
"
ii&r „ Sri „
husband.
—American airmen carrying
geiger counters today carried
out a top-secret search on the
southeastern Spanish coast,
apparently looking for a
nuclear device missing in the
collision of two U.S. Air Force
planes.
There was no official confir
mation that a Strategic Air
Command (SAC) B52 Stratofor
tress which crashed during
mid-air refueling operations
Monday was carrying atomic
bombs, but it was understood
on reliable authority that it
carried several and all but one
had been recovered.
U.S. officials here, In Madrid
and in Washington declined to
confirm or deny the report.
At the scene of the crash,
this correspondent saw Ameri
can airmen, carrying geiger
counters and wearing radiation
detection badges. I was told by
a guard that a nuclear device
was missing from the B52 and
that the area was contaminat
e$.
Local Criticism
Reports spread through this
little village 95 miles east of
Granada that three nuclear
devices had been recovered but
one was still missing. The local
population began criticizing the
for allowing Ameri
can nuclear bombers to fly over
Spanish territory.
The B52 rammed Into a huge
KC135 Jet tanker at an altitude
30,000 feet, killing three out
of seven fliers in the bomber
and all four crewmembers
aboard the tanker. Four of the
B52 crewmen balled out of the
plane as It plunged down and
were picked up by fishing boats
in the Mediterranean.
Although American bombers
with nuclear capability have
crashed in the past, this was
the first known crash of an
atomic plane in Europe.
Nuclear bombs usually are
detonated by explosive charges
contained within the bomb, or
other types of fusing arrange
ments similar to those in
conventional bombs. Under
normal conditions, a bomb
would not be armed until the
start of a bombing mission.
Radiation Unlikely
Officials in Washington have
testified on previous occasions
that in the event of a crash, it
would be highly unlikely for the
radioactive material In a bomb
to become exposed, As a
standard precaution, however,
strict procedures are instituted
whenever a mishap occurs. The
