Island nurseless crash aids ham radio relief
No physician was available on Palmyra when a soldier was badly hurt in an airplane crash. A government weather observer on the island remembered his amateur radio days and contacted two fellow hams in Audubon, New Jersey. Amateur Joseph Bonsted Jr relayed instructions from Dr. Ralph W. Davis, chief surgeon at Audubon Hospital. The 5600 mile treatment brought some improvement.

Arkansas battles over veteran education funds head to court
Life Rock reports July 14 that James Mackrell sues to block Arkansas from spending vocational education funds for veteran programs. Attorney General Williams seeks dismissal as Education Commissioner Jones warns enjoining spending could end most veteran education in the state, except at state institutions. The suit targets 200000 dollars for last year and 700000 dollars planned for two years, with officials arguing federal reimbursements replenish Arkansas funds.
