"We consider the ACLG a complete technological breakthrough in landing systems," says David Perez, civilian project officer in the Flight Dynamics Laboratory at Wright-Patterson A.F.B., Dayton. And so last year, the Air Force awarded Bell a $99,000 contract for wind-tunnel tests of the ACLG. Now Bell has won a second contract for $98,700 to study possible use of its ACLG on the Air Force's C-119 "Flying Boxcar" transport...

Given levelheaded law enforcement, maintenance of open communication with local Negro leadership, and-above all, perhaps -the deployment of concerned and responsible Negroes like the Tampa and Dayton "white hats," city officials may well be able to avert full-scale conflagrations that can only scar their cities and needlessly inflame race relations...
