ness is being conducted from
rented space in the Army Re
serve building, and from three
or four other locations scat
tered across the city.
Although the new administra
tion building will be four
stories, there are no immediate
plans to occupy the top floor
when it is completed. Use of
this floor will be decided at a
later date as the needs of the
city and county governments
change or increase.
Plans call for 135,000 square
feet of floor space. Public serv
ice and law enforcement offices
will be located on the ground
floor. The jail will be on the
second floor, rear. Courtrooms
will be on the third floor.
While the city and county will
have jail facilities on the same
floor and occupy the identical
area, each will function sep
arately, with about an even
division of cells and other fa
cilities.
The structure will be a com-
2
bination of concrete, marble
and brick. One of its most at
tractive features will be a mar
ble staircase and marble floors.

Carrier
Continued from page one
turned steel bulkheads into
rivulets of molten metal.
Witnesses saw others jump into
the sea, their clothing a mass of
flames.
Officials estimated that the
fire and explosions caused at
least $135 million damage.
Included were 57 planes da
maged or destroyed.
The chlorine gas hampering
them was caused by water that
flooded below-deck compart
ments and mixed with battery
acid during the 18-hour fight
against fire.
The ship’s skipper, Capt. John
K .Beling of Zephyr Hills, Fla.,
said the disaster was an accident
of war.
“It is my personal strong
conviction that no human error
whatsoever was involved/’ he
said. «
Fuel Starts Blaze
A preliminary theory is that
too much fuel was put into a jet
engine and as it started, a
tongue of flame from the jet’s
tailpipe licked out and detonat
ed a guided missile on another
plane. The missile streaked out
and exploded in a 400-gallon fuel
tank of a third plane, sending
flaming fuel across the flight
deck and causing bullets, bombs
and rockets to explode.
Rear Adm. Harvey P. Lan
ham of Norfolk, Va., comman
der of Carrier Division 11, was
saved from serious injury or
perhaps worse by an enlisted
man.
The admiral went to the
bridge at the first explosion and
saw the deck in flames.
“As I peered out through the
thick plexiglass, the bosun
grabbed my arm and said: ‘Get
away from that window. It’s not
safe.’ I dropped down. Another
explosion shook the ship. A
large piece of shrapnel crashed
through the plexiglass where
my face was.’’
At one time, there was the
possibility that the mighty
Forrestal might sink.
“It was absolutely in the
realm of possibility that the
ship would be lost,” Beling, the
skipper, said.
He had high praise for his
men. He called them heroes,
every one.
“I cannot in words express
the gratitude I feel for the
performance of this crew,” he
said. “I have neither seen nor
heard of any examples of
cowardice.”
Cmdr. John R. Fewinter, 40,
Virginia Beach, Va., saw a 130-
pound sailor pick up a 250-pound
bomb and heave it overboard
although it could explode at any
second.

Commies Say
Hanoi Bombed
By EUGENE V. RISHER
SAIGON (UPD—The Commu
nists reported a new attack on
Hanoi today by American
warplanes and said one U.S.
plane was shot down by a
“solid” wave of anti-aircraft
fire. There w r as no confirmation
in Saigon but a spokesman said
targets 27 miles from Hanoi
were hit Sunday.
In the ground war a force of
1,000 U.S. Marines battled their
way out of a North Vietnamese
ambush in the Demilitarized
Zone (DMZ) in fighting so close
Leatherneck tanks could not
fire and so bitter that one
Communist attacked with an
ax.
American planes flew 90
missions against North Vietnam
Sunday, hitting the Bac Giang
cargo transfer point 27 miles
northeast of Hanoi and the Mon
Duong transformer station 44
miles northeast of Haiphong,
plus targets in the panhandle.
The fiery disaster aboard the
carrier U.S.S. Forrestal and a
thick band of thunderstorms
limited Navy activity to 10
missions. Usually the Navy
carriers on Yankee Station
mount half of the raids against
the North.
The Air Force disclosed the
death of Ist Lt. Karl W.
Richter, 24, one of the air
heroes of the Vietnam war.
Richter, of Holly, Mich., shot
down his first MIG at the age of
23 and had volunteered for 100
more missions. He was flying
his 198th mission when killed
Friday.
The American Marine foray
into the DMZ, in search of
mortar and artillery emplace
ments that had hit Leatherneck
posts just south of the zone, was
generally disappointing. They
suffered heavy losses in an
ambush and did not knock out
any of the red batteries.
Fighting was rough.
"All we could see was black
smoke from Chicom (Chinese
Communist made) grenades,”
said Marine Cpl. Charles Study,
20, of St. Louis after his
battalion emerged Sunday from
the 24-hour battle in the border
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
The fight on the dusty road in
the DMZ left 23 Americans
dead and 119 wounded. Marines
counted 40 Communist dead. Lt.
Col. William Kent, who led his
1,200 to 1,500-man battalion in
the battle, said they killed at
least 175 to 200 North Vietna
mese troops. U. S. strafing
pilots killed 10 more after the
Marines crossed back into South
Vietnam after a 48-hour DMZ
sweep.
In other action, Viet Cong
terrorists invaded two villages
just below the DMZ ’ and
slaughtered 21 civilians and
wounded two children. Further
south, U.S. troops killed 14
Communists in a Central
Highlands fight in which no
American was scratched.
In the air, U.S. Air Force 852
Stratofortresses today smashed
Communist troop positions in
the northern and central provin
ces. U.S. jets raided North
Vietnam Sunday, hitting truck
convoys, supply dumps and
roads.
Out to sea, the U.S. 7th Fleet
aircraft carrier Forrestal
steamed toward a Subic Bay,
Philippines, repair dock after a
bomb-few fire knocked it out of
the war. U.S. spokesmen
reported 77 men killed,, 69
missing and feared dead and 78
wounded in" the disaster at sea
that damaged or destroyed 57
planes used to strike North
Vietnam.
