WASHINGTON — In a report to be released today,
it has been learned that a House Armed Services
subcommittee has unanimously approved a verdict
which puts much of the blame for the loss of the in
telligence ship USS Pueblo not on the crew but on
military brass. The verdict comes after four-months
of studying events before, during and after capture of
the ship by North Koreanforces. Earlier, a Navy Court
of Inquiry had recommended that the ship’s skipper,
Capt. Lloyd Busher (shown in ’69 photo), and other
crewman be court martialed for allowing their ship
to fall into enemy hands. The Navy Court’s recom
mendation was overruled May 6th by Navy Depart
ment Secretary John H. Chafee, who said at the
time that the ship’s crew had “suffered enough.”

Commie Attack On U. 8. Base
Mars Nixon Visit In Bangkok
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
BANGKOK, Thailand (UPD—
President Nixon arrived today
in Bangkok to a curious
mixture of Oriental pageantry
and political dissatisfaction. His
visit was marred in advance by
a Communist guerrillas attack
on a U.S. Air Base northeast of
Bangkok.
Nixon flew here from Jakarta
where he expressed confidence
Indonesia was in good hands
tinder President Suharto and
left a pledge to cooperate fully
in bringing about Indonesia’s
rapid economic and social
development. Nixon previously
visited the Philippines.
The Vietnam War and the
shockwaves it has produced in
neighboring countries was the
No. 1 topic for Nixon’s Thailand
visit. He not only was
discussing the Communist
threat to Thailand but was
meeting with Gen. Creighton W.
Abrams, the U.S. military
commander in Vietnam, and
Ellsworth Bunker, the ambassa
dor to Saigon.
Reports persisted that Nixon
might take advantage of his
flexible schedule in Thailand
for a flying visit to Vietnam.
Glorious Reception
The Thais did everything
possible to make Nixon’s
reception even more glorious
than the one accorded Pres
ident Lyndon B. Johnson in
October, 1966.
But they prepared for tough
talk at sessions between
Premier Thanom Kittikachom
and the President scheduled for
Tuesday. Thailand is vocally
dissatisfied with Nixon’s new
Asian policy of money and
guns, but no American troops.
Thailand is directly under a
Communist threat as the raid

Don’t Underestimate
An ‘lnch of Rain’
WASHINGTON (UI’I) — When the weatherman says “an inch of
rain fell today” it doesn’t sound like much water, does it?
Believe it, it IS a lot of water!
An inch of rain falling evenly on one acre of ground is equivalent
to about 27,154 gallons of water, according to hydrologists of the
U.S. Geological Survey.
Here’s how it’s determined: One inch of rain falling evenly over
one acre (43,650 square feet) of ground would amount to a total of
6,272,640 cubic inches of water. This is equivalent to 3,630 cubic
feet of water. A cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds.
Therefore, the weight of a uniform fall of one inch of rain over one
acre would be about 226,615 pounds, or 113% short tons. The
weight of one U.S. gallon of pure water is about 8.3 pounds. Con
sequently, a rainfall of one inch over one acre would mean about
27,154 gallons of water.
“Simple multiplication," notes the Survey, “reveals how much
water would fall over a given city, if it fell evenly. For example, an
even inch of rain over the District of Columbia (44,000 acres)
would amount to about 1.2 billion gallons of water.”
What happens to the water after it reaches the ground depends
upon many factors such as rate of rainfall, topography, soil condi
tion, humidity, density of vegetation, extent of urbanization, etc. Os
the total amount of water, about 25 per cent would run off immed
iately; about 15 per cent would be evaporated; about 40 per cent
would be taken up by surface soil: and about 20 per cent would
filter down into sub-surface, water-bearing rocks (aquifers).
“These percentage figures,” Survey hydrologists explain, “can
vary considerably. For example, the direct runoff in a highly urban
ized area is increased somewhat because of the high density of pave
ments and roofs. In an area where there are not such large parts of
the total, the direct runoff would be somewhat less, ana the other
nercentaires increased.” *

Communists attacked the U.S.
Air Base at Übon, 400 miles
northeast of Bangkok, wounding
an American sentry and
damaging two C 47 cargo
planes.
The Thais are Intensely
worried about the prospect of
Communist expansionism
aimed against this country
when American troops finally
leave Southeast Asia.
Stresses No Involvement
Nixon continued to stress that
the Uniled States has no
intention of getting permanent
ly involved in Southeast Asia
with more American troops.
This kind of talk is likely to
give him trouble with the
Thais.
Thailand committed itself
early to the Vietnam War and
permitted the United States to
set up six big airbases here, a
major logistics complex and
hundreds of smaller outposts
around the country manned by
47.0C0 Americans.
Most of the bombing of North
Vietnam was carried out from
Thai soil and so was most of
the support operation for the
“secret war’’ the United States
has been waging in Laos since
1958.
In return, the Communists
have openly threatened to make.
Thailand their next target for a
“war of national liberation."
They have infiltrated arms and
men across Thailand’s border
and they have been fomenting
Insurgency here since 1965.

Fear No Stranger
To Michigan Coeds
By DAVID SMOTHERS suspect in at least three of the
UPI Senior Editor
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UPD—
Fear is no stranger to the
young women who attend the
University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor and Eastern Michigan
University seven miles away in
Ypsilanti.
They knew fear again today
as the search went on for the
killer who left Karen Sue
Beineman facedown in a ditch,
by a leafy side road, nude.
The discovery of her body
was made Saturday night by a
neighborhood couple. Police
revealed it Sunday morning,
hoping the killer would return.
He didn’t.
Karen Sue is the eighth of
these in the last two years to
die by violence in this land of
academe, cultured voices, roll
ing hills and tall trees blotting
out the moon while the rain
falls.
“Some Articles There’’
Most of the bodies have been
found after a night of rain, as
was Karen Sue’s. Many of them
appear to have been stripped of
some special possession—an
earring, perhaps, and Karen’s
ears were pierced and empty.
Some of their clothing was
piled neatly by their bodies.
In Karen Sue’s case, Sheriff
Douglas Harvey would only
remark that there were “some
articles there’’ in the grassy
ravine where she was found a
scant 7 feet from well-traveled
Huron River Drive Just outside
Ann Arbor. He would not
elaborate.
The first to die was Mary
Fleszar, 19, Willis, Mich., an
EMU accounting major whose
body was found Aug. 7, 1967, in
a rural area between Ann
Arbor and Ypsilanti. The last—
before Karen Sue—was Marga
ret Phillips, 25, Coopersville,
Mich., shot to death in her off
campus apartment in Ann
Arbor July 5. Police have
charged exconvict Ernest L.
Bishop Jr., befriended by Miss
Phillips, with her murder.
Bishop has been ruled out as a

Karen Sue was strangled.
Somewhere along the line her
head was battered so badly
that, when her body was found,
she could be identified only by
her fingerprints.
She was a good girl—a
"cautious, smart girl," in the
words of her steady boy friend
—who was last seen Wednesday
coming out of an Ypsilanti
hairdresser’s shop where she
had bought a medimum - length
hair piece to match her brown
hair.
•-. Was With Young Man
Yet, when she came from the
wig shop she straddled a big,
shiny chrome-burdqned moto
cycle driven by a curly-haired
young man. His description, as
given by witnesses—6 feet,
about 22, brown haid and a curl
over his forehead—matched
that of the man last seen with
the second victim, Joan Schell.
The body of Miss Schell, a 20-
year-old art major at EMU who
was stabbed, slashed and
sexually molested, was found
July 7, 1968. She was last seen
trying to hitchhike a ride in
fron tof the EMU Student Union
Building. Several of the girls
who have died appeared to
have been hitch-hikers, or girls,
after a good time.

“Don’t worry, I’m careful.”
Barbara Beineman, Karen
Sue’s sister, said, “She paid her

could get a room on the second
floor (of a dormitory). She
didn’t want the first floor
because she was afraid.
