was doing.
The court-martial of M.Sgt.

A verdict was expected later in

that Sgt. Perkins was mentally
responsible beyond a reasonable
doubt,” Capt. Reinaid Werren
rath HI, prosecutor in the
week-long court-martial told the
trial judge, Col. Joe E. Peck.
“In reviewing the evidence,
you will have no doubt—much
less a reasonable doubt—as to
tlie guilt of the accused on all
specifications and charges,”
Werrenrath said.

secrets to Mexico City. The
government claims Perkins had
set up a rendezvous with
Russian intelligence agents
there.
Peck, from Travis Air Force
Base, Calif., will determine
guilt or innocence on each of
the five charges and after the
defense finishes its closing
statement, he may elect on a
“lesser included offense” for
some counts.
If Perkins is found guilty on
any of the charges, Peck would

on penalties. But, defense
lawyer Henry Rothblatt of New
York or Werrenrath, would
have an opportunity to plea for
leniency or cite mitigating
circumstances.
Psychiatrists called by both
sides agreed that 20 years of
drinking as much as a fifth of
Scotch a day dulled Perkins’
brain to the point that his
judgment was “impaired”—but
not destroyed. They said he
knew right from wrong but was
not always able to “adhere to
the right.”
‘Smart’
bombs
cheaper
WASHINGTON - The soar
ing enthusiasm of Air Force
officials over the success of so
called “smart bombs” in Viet
nam may lead defense budget
cutters in Congress to seek
even deeper reductions in air
craft purchase funds. Savings
could reach many millions of
dollars.
This possibility has been ac
knowledged by Pentagon
sources in the wake of Air
Force Secretary Robert C. Sea
mans’ praise of the new weap
ons guided by laser beams and
television cameras.
“With this improvement (the
pinpoint accuracy provided by
TV and laser technology), one
aircraft can accomplish what
25 might have done in the
past,” Seamans told an Aero
Club luncheon here recently.
As an example of the bomb’s
capability, the secretary told
the story of North Vietnam’s
“indestructible” bridge.
“We ran about 600 sorties
(one flight by one aircraft) in
the 1965-68 period against the
Thenh Hoa bridge, also known
as the Ho Chi Minh bridge,” he
said. “We lost at least 12 air
planes without dropping a sin
gle span.
“But recently, using eight
aircraft with laser bombs, we
knocked out the bridge.”
Earlier, an Air Force colonel
whose Thailand-based
squadron has been dropping
laser-guided bombs on enemy
targets in North Vietnam for
several months told a news
conference:
“We can go up there with
four aircraft and do what may
be 100 aircraft can do (with
conventional bombs).”
A reporter, referring to the
two statements, asked Sea
mans whether the new weapons

Latest state listings
ATLANTA (UPI) - Latest
tabulation of statewide and con
gressional primary races (sec
ond figures are percentages):
would create fresh budget
problems for the Air Force.
“Aren’t some members of
Congress likely to say, ‘OK,
since one plane now does the
work of 25, instead of 75 new
planes this year, we’ll give you
three?”’
The secretary thought a mo
ment and said:
“That’s a good question and
we’ll be thinking about it.
“The ‘smart bombs’ will
mean that we’ll probably need
to buy fewer aircraft in the fu
ture.”
But he indicated he wouldn’t
advocate any 1 to 25 ratio so far
as new purchases were con
cerned. He pointed out that re
connaissance, escort, search
and rescue and electronic
countermeasure planes often
precede, accompany or follow
attack aircraft on bombing
missions.
While, generally speaking,
fewer attack planes would re
quire fewer support aircraft,
the possible reductions in the
latter types would probably be
far smaller.
According to a Pentagon
spokesman, only 73 new air
craft for the Air Force have
been requested in the fiscal
1973 budget, including 30 of the
new F-15 superiority fighters
and 12 F-llls. The Air Force
also purchases aircraft for the

The Navy, which introduced
“smart bombs” against targets
in North Vietnam with the TV
guided Walleye in 1967, has re
quested 282 new aircraft, in
cluding 30 British-made
Harrier V-STOLs for the Ma
rine Corps and 50 helicopters.
Navy spokesmen have been
ecstatic over “smart bombs,”
too, but they have not, to the
knowledge of Pentagon observ
ers, tried to equate the weapons
with numbers of aircraft
needed.
Rear Adm. D.W. Cooper,
commander of Carrier Striking
Force, Seventh Fleet, recently
reported that the newest ver
sion of the Navy’s Walleye —
dubbed “Fat Albert” — scored
all perfect hits against six tar
gets in North Vietnam.
