Use More Troops
From South Viet,
Mackay Suggests
ATLANTA (UPl)—The United
States should de -Americanize
the Vietnamese war by bring
ing in more South Vietnamese
troops, according to a Georgia
congressional candidate, Demo
crat James Mackay of Decatur.
Mackay, a former congress
man said Tuesday the United
States should start a deliberate,
phased disengagement of Am
erican military power in South
Vietnam.
He suggested that South Viet
namese troops be brought in ac
cording to a U.S. timetable to
replace American troops.
He also said the U.S. should
make an “extroardinary” ef
fort to obtain a cease-fire.
Mackey’s opponent in the con
gressional race is Republican in
cument Ben Blackburn, whom
he criticized for taking a “hawk
ish” stance on the war. Black
burn unseated Mackey in 1966.

Hampton Old
Paper Drive
Needs Warehouse
HAMPTON — The Hampton
Parent Teacher Association is
conducting a paper drive, collec
ting old newspapers and maga
zines, to raise money for its work
with the Hampton Schools.
But the organization is facing a
problem that is slowing up their
campaign. They do not have a
suitable place in which to store
the collections they make. They
need warehouse space where the
old paper can be stored until en
ough has been gathered to make
up a car load for shipment to the
paper mills.
Mrs. Roy Greer, president of
the P.T.A., asks that anyone who
can provide warehouse space
contact her or any member of
the paper drive committee. Col
lections to date have been good,
Mrs. Greer said, and “once we
get warehouse space, we believe
it will pick up considerably.”
“AIR SPACE”
No rule of law, national or in
ternational, defines the extent
of ‘‘air space” although all na
tions claim sovereignty of such
areas over their respective terri
tories.
