Wednesday that unveiled a full
scale mockup of the C5A at
Lockheed-Georgia in one of the
company’s huge hangars. The
gigantic wooden bird was dis
played at a demonstration of
its airlift capabilities.
Tne assistant secretary said
large jet transport, when opera
tive, could respond from the
shores of America to any mili
tary challenge. The C5A will
make its maiden flight in June,
1968. Lockheed has a contract
to build 58 of them for the Air
Force.
“We’ve come a long way in
the development and procure
ment of weapons systems,”
Charles said. “But we’re on
schedule and I know we’ll stay
on schedule.”
Overseas Bases
Charles said with the C5A in
operation the necessity of the
U. S. maintaining expensive
overseas bases to defend this
country would be reduced.
Charles added that of all the
eye-popping statistics quoted on
the C5A, “none are more Im
portant than what it will do to
our airlift capacity.”
He noted that 10 C5A’s could
do the same job that hundreds
of C130’s did during the opera
tion of the Berlin Airlift in
1948. This, he said, represents
en enormous reduction in cost
and manpower.
The C5A, so huge that it
could contain an eight-lane
bowling alley, has been under
construction for two months. It
will be used not only for mili
tary but commercial use as
well.
Will Hold 900
When built for commercial
airlines In the early 1970’s, the
C5A will have a passenger ca
pacity of 900.
Primary use of the huge
transport, however, will be the
quick transporting of large
amounts of military supplies
and fighting men to combat
brush fire wars around the
globe. One of its biggest
is the ability to transport so
many men and supplies in one
plane.
The mockup stretched 245 feet
in length with the tail towering
65 feet high and the wings
spanning 223 feet. However, be
cause of space limitations the
wings were not in place. When
Charles pressed the button the
tail section was raised allowing
a long stream of Army vehicles
to unload.
The cruising speed of the C5A
will be 500 miles per hour and
It Is designed to carry as much
as 265,000 pounds.
INDIGESTION
NAPLES, Italy (UPI) —The
crew of the U.S. Navy
ammunition ship Great Sitking
Wednesday rescued the staff
and guests of a floating
restaurant off the Greek isle of
Rhodes when it started sinking,
a Navy spokesman said here.
The Navy said the Great
Sitking safely evacuated every
one from the Kon Tiki
Restaurant and pumped out a
tank which had developed a
leak. They said 14 hours later
the restaurant was floating
again.

Church May Excommunicate
Policeman For Clubbings
BARCELONA, (UPI) -The
Roman Catholic Church may
take steps to excommunicate
policemen who clubbed a dozen
Spanish priests during a protest
march Wednesday, church sour
ces indicated today.
More than 150 priests staged
a precedent-shattering march
to protest policy brutality at
recent student demonstrations
for greater academic freedom.
About a dozen priests were
injured, none seriously, when
police moved in to break up the
march.
A retaliatory move to excom
municate the police would
seriously worsen the strained
relations between the Vatican
and the Franco regime which
rules this predominantly Catho
lic country.
The march was the first
public demonstration by clergy
men in Spain’s modern history.
Catholic sources explained
that under church canon law
anyone who is guilty of
attacking a priest can be
excommunicated—cut off from
participation In the sacraments
of the church.
Church sources said that the
priests were considering calling
on Msgr. Ignor Gregorio
Modrego y Cassaus, the ar
chbishop of Barcelona, to ask
him to excommunicate their
alleged attackers.
The priests, clad in their
black robes, gathered at the
Barcelona Cathedral Wednes
day and began a march to
police headquarters only 200
yards away to deliver a note
urging the police to refrain
from violence when countering
student demonstrations.
The students have been
agitating for greater academic
freedom and a free student
union instead of the one
controlled by the government.
The sources said it would be
“premature” to assume the
policemen, most of whom
certainly would be Catholics,
would automatically be cut off
from the church since the
priests made their march as
private citizens rather than
clergy,
