WHEREUPON the captain sent the letter to Mr. Hebert. Replying, Mr. Hebert said, "Had I not been dealing with so many bureaucratic buffoons during my 24 years in Congress, I would have been apoplectic over the example you sent me." But, he said, if he pursued the Zip Code war between the captain and the Air Force it would "only lead to more wasteful paper work and lost man hours on the part of the Air Force." He told the captain however, "If you have any more threats from the Air Force about your Zip Code, please let me know." Well, the captain did hear more. In a letter which Congressman Hebert received Wednesday he wrote: "Apparently a board Is to convene on 22 June at 0830 hours to consider my discharge for falling to send my Zip Code number.

"HOW SERIOUS my negligence is, I do not know. Is it akin to desertion? What will be my punish 1 -'jiumv' My baby!" and saw the car entering the water. Running 200 feet, he Jumped into a boat and rowed to the rescue scene. WHEN THE BOY was taken from the car, Dr. Boike started mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

After pressing water from the boy's chest and breathing into his mouth, Dr. Boike detected heartbeat and within minutes the boy was breathing with fair normalcy. Then the baby was handed to Dr. Boike and he also applied resuscitation but she did not respond actively until arrival of the Loveland Life Squad with oxygen. He also massaged the baby's heart by pressing on its chest.

He said he was concerned about Beverly's condition because her pupils were dilated and glassy. Both Russell and Beverly already had turned 'ilue when taken from the water. Late Wednesday night, Becky Stotler was in good condition, her brother, Russell, In fair condition at Otto Epp Memorial Hospital, Kenwood. Their younger sister, Beverly, was reported In fair condition at Children's Hospital. Mr.

Tachett, after the excitement of the rescue, suffered a seizure when standing on shore. He fell forward, his head striking a rock. Another life squad from Loveland rushed him to Good Samaritan Hos-' pital. The children's parents, although still shaken Wednesday night, repeatedly voiced their praise and thanks to the rescuers. Mr.

Stotler, a barber in Forest Hills, said of the bystanders' quick action, "Oh, it was wonderful." Of Dr. Boike, who has offices at 430 W. Loveland Mr. stotler said, "Thank God he was at the scene." ton Ct, Mt. Carmel.

Pulled from 13 feet of water were Becky Stotler, three; Russell, 1V4, and Beverly, five months. They were in a drlverless car that rolled 55 feet, edged between two trees and plunged into the lake. A chiropractor, Dr. Roland V. Boike, 7514 Juler used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to revive the two youngest children.

Neither was breathing when taken from the water. Dr. Boike worked on the baby about 10 minutes but "it seemed like hours to me," he said. BYSTANDERS swam 50 feet to rescue the children. They were Thomas Nayes, 1336 Bates Camp Washington; Morris Richards, 4127 Sibley Sll-verton; George Tachett, 32, 2005 Delaware Norwood, and Jack Baltrusch, 2504 Knorr Ave.

Mr. Stotler had been fishing at the lake about two hours when his wife, Joan, 26, drove up with three of their five children at 12:45 p. m. Two daughters, eight and seven, were in school. Mrs.

Stotler parked the sedan on a slope, 55 feet from the water, and walked to a bait shop to have her husband called on the loud speaker. One of the youngsters hit the gear shift, pushing the automatic drive lever Into low gear. Jack Collins, Hamilton County sheriff's deputy, said. Mrs. Ruth Johnson, 12181 Fourth High Point, a waitress in a nearby restaurant, saw the car moving toward the water and screamed.

MRS. STOTLER rushed from the bait shop, grabbed futilely for the back bumper as the automobile slipped into the water, then screamed. Mr. Nayes and Mr. Baltrusch rescued Becky from the vehicle before it submerged completely.

Mr. Richards dived and extricated the boy through a side door. After two of the children were rescued, Mrs. Stotler shouted, "My baby Is still in there!" Mr. Tachett used a boat oar to break the rear window and free the baby, Beverly.

Dr. Boike was chatting with a fisherman at the shoreline when he heard Mrs. Stotler cry, "My babyl -Enquirer (Bob Free) Photos ment? Exile, perhaps, to abandoned Alcatraz? With a BCD (bad conduct discharge) how could I give you my vote? (Such a thought Is repugnant to Mr. Hebert). "History may record me as the first Zip Code casualty.

But, we can take heart knowing that our country's defenses are strong as long as we have such alert and determined high- ranking officers In the Air Force to ferret out and punish such criminals as Note to the Air Force if it'll help any, the captain's Zip Code is 70119 that's the New Orleans area code of 701 plus the captain's zone number, 19, which you already have. In releasing the correspondence, Mr. Hebert withheld the chaplain's name. 'Your Heart You can eat your way into high risk of a heart attack, but you also can eat your way out of such danger.

mmMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm WASHINGTON UP) An Air Force reserve captain from New Orleans is threatened with discharge for a brand-new offense he has failed to provide his superiors with his postal Zip Code number. It seems that Paragraph 26, AFR 45-41 is involved. Outlining his plight in a letter to Rep. F. Edward Hebert La.) the captain said history may record him as "the first Zip Code casualty." Mr.

Hebert, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, is pursuing the matter with the Air Force. Last month the captain, who is a chaplain, received an official letter (sent, incidentally, to his correct street and postal zone address) notifying him that he had been asked twice for his Zip Code number but had failed to respond. "If we do not receive your reply within 30 days following receipt of evidence of delivery of this letter we propose to take action under Paragraph 26, AFR 45-41," the Air Force sternly admonished the captain. It also advised that Paragraph 26, AFR 45-41 provides for discharge from the Air Force for failure to Red China, in a first reaction reported in London Wednesday, appeared to nave foredoomed Britain's urgent request for help in pacifying the embattled kingdom of Laos. Qualified British sources gave this account of a meeting in Peking Tuesday between Charge d'Affaires Terrence Garvey and an unidentified senior official in the Chinese Foreign Ministry: Mr.

Garvey outlined the British government's serious concern at the worsening situation inside Laos. He expressed Britain's fears that if the Neutralist center collapses it will leave the Leftist and Rightist extremes face to face, enhancing the danger of a fight that could draw In outsiders as Korea did in 1950. Communist China, therefore, was asked to use its best efforts and influences to restrain the Pathet Lao from further advances. The envoy followed up his oral representation with a confirmation in writing. The Chinese official listened patiently.

He promised to refer the British request to the top echelons of the administration. In the meantime, he stressed that It was Communist Chinese policy to respect the provisions of the 14-nation Geneva settlement which set up Laos in 1962 as a unified, independent and neutral state. By Enquirer Wire Services UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Ambassador Adlai E.

Stevenson returned from Europe Wednesday under urgent orders from the Johnson administration and declared he will address the United Nations Security Council on "the rapidly deteriorating situation in Southeast Asia." He told reporters who met him at Kennedy Airport that he hurried back to speak before the 11-na-tion Council Thursday on the general picture in Southeast Asia. AH. S. spokesman said that Mr. Stevenson will make "an extremely important speech." The Council will resume debate on Cambodia's charges of aggression against the United States and South Vietnam.

The speech will come at a time when Washington is gravely concerned over Communist military gains in South Vietnam and Laos. Mr. Stevenson stressed that the United States attached the utmost Importance to the situation. He said he conferred by transatlantic telephone with Secretary of State Dean Rusk Just before his departure from London. The decision ordering Mr.

Stevenson to cut short his stay in Europe was made by Mr. Rusk in consultation with President Johnson, officials In Washington said. Meanwhile, France urged the reopening of the Geneva conference on Laos to look into that country's tangled political and military situation. Authorized sources in Paris said the government sent notes to the British government and to the Russian government, pro- posing that they convene a conference of the governments that signed the 1962 declaration on Laotian neutrality. Britain and the Soviet Union are co-chairmen of the Geneva Conference on Indochina, dating back to the 1954 meeting that ended French rule to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

As such, Britain and Russia were co-chairmen of the 1962 meeting. In Laos Communist troops have driven neutralist com H.i....j..l.ugMlWK.'M(iuJWM. wnm iiu.jnfl' Ill 1 1 I I mander Gen. Kong Le from his newly established command post at Ban Khong in the hills on the edge of the Plain of Jars, Western military sources said Wednesday night. The sources said General Kong Le's heavily outnumbered four-battalion force has retreated deeper into the hills west of the plain and established a new command post at the village of Ban La.

Reports of the new retreat coincided with a disclosure that Royal Laotian Air Force planes of Laos' right-wing faction were bombing and strafing Communist troops on the Plain of Jars in an effort to scatter the Red Forces that have swept Neutralist defenders from the area. Meeting Asked For Discussion Of School Sites The Congress of Racial Equality said Wednesday night It is requesting a conference with Cincinnati school officials on its plea to reconsider plans for two new schools on Glenwood and Fairfax Avenues. CORE protests the sites-one In the 100 bpck of Glenwood and the other across from Sawyer High School as promoting "de facto segregation." In a statement, the organization said Avondale and Evanston residents should get ths "same consideration" given to 200 Hyde Park residents who won an agreement from school officials to reconsider the plan to build a new Junior high school on the Myers Y. Cooper estate at 3030 Erie Ave. CORE said it objected to the officials' plan to reconsider the Erie Avenue site since they had rejected pleas to reconsider the Glenwood and Fairfax sites.
