Died. General William H. Blanchard, 50, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff and No. 2 in command, a heavy-bomber pilot who pioneered in the daringly low-level B-29 raids against Japan in World War II, and as Curtis LeMay's operations officer planned the first A-bomb drop on Hiroshima, then spent 15 years helping to build the Strategic Air Command, all of which earned him four stars at the age of 48; of a heart attack; in Washington...
...family checking or saving accounts are very small, usually less than $1000. A small account contributes little to the bank's total assets, but will be expensive because small accounts always show more withdrawals and checks to process per hundred dollars than large business accounts. The predominance of such low-level, high-cost accounts has caused serious financial difficulties for the United Community National Bank, an integrated bank in Washington, D.C. Only if the number of small accounts is high is it feasible to expect to make money on them in the long...
...entire conference, however, was the matter of the land that would be needed for relocation. That would be some 28 acres, the M.I.T. officials insisted. The way they arrived at the 28-acre figure seemed slightly suspicious: it assumed that there could be absolutely no consolidation of laboratories from low-level buildings into higher buildings. In some cases, consolidation was impossible because the particular equipment was too sensitive or too bulky to be used on high floors. But this restriction was not universal, and it is not unreasonable to believe that with some astute planning, M.I.T. could significantly reduce...
...chances of alleviating it as well. In his successful campaign against President Diosdado Macapagal last November, Marcos made Filipino crime-smuggling, murder and government corruption-the main theme. Macapagal himself was above suspicion of foul play, but Marcos did not have to make personal accusations, for low-level crime and corruption were part of every Filipino's experience. Coupled to it was his own vibrant campaign style. Singing duets with his wife Imelda (Miss Philippines of 1954), stumping the barrios with hard-hitting speeches, screening a biographical movie titled For Every Tear a Victory, Marcos ran away with...
...Low-level bombing in bad weather is a deadly job. The same radar used to find targets can help a plane to navigate safely past hills or mountains, but it may also alert defenders equipped to pick up its blips. Navigation with the help of ground-based radio-beam transmitters can rarely be counted on over enemy territory. What pilots need is a system that will lead them along their chosen route without signaling their presence to enemy trackers...
