Hu the index is often criticized for its mixing of heinous felonies with relatively slight misdemeanors, ami for the difficulty of gauging the actual number of crimes by those reported to police. But the statistics remain a valu able tool for most enforcement agencies, sid Lt. Don Taylor from the Bountiful Police Department. If you don't know where you have been, you dont know where you are going," he said. We need them to see if there is one area fof crime we need to concentrate on more than another." Salt Lake FBI agent Lou Bertram maintains the index is the best we've got and an adequate measurement of crime w hen the offenses are examined separately. Preliminary national statistics have not been distributed, agent Bertram .said, and therefore it isn't known yet whether Davis County's jump is part of w ider increase. The Wasatch Front is "still very, very low in violent crime, the federal agent said, and part of the increase jfroperty crime can be attributed to better reporting by residents People have become more observant and- - sensitive to crime," said Centerville police Chief Clifford Russell.

The largest hurdle to gathering and comparing crime rates between states was the differences in their definition. What is an aggravated assault in one state might be a simple assault in another. "Further, because of the variances in punishment for the same offenses in different state codes, no distinction between felony and misdemeanor crimes was possible," states the FBIs latest national crime report. , To overcome the problem of local differences, the FBI asks lor statistics witiiin its standard Over more than 51) years ol Uniform Crime Reports, most agencies' definitions have conformed closely to the national index.

However, the Vietnam-er- a combat fighter-bombe- r almost didn't get the chance for a tranquil final resting spot.

The plane took three hits including a shot to the main fuel tank. With gas pouring out and realizing he had but minutes left in the air. Col. Douglas climbed to search for a tanker he knew would be somewhere in the area. Tankers usually flew 35 to 50 miles from a target to refuel returning aircraft. After explaining his predicament. Col. Douglas said, "the tanker pilot realized he couldn't just refuel and leave. The gas was running out of the plane almost as fast as it was going in." Col. Douglas said the tanker pilot had a choice of letting the disabled jet go or accompanying it back to its base in Thailand. Realizing the refueling was the only thing keeping the jet in the sky. the tanker pilot kept the fuel flowing and literally linked up with the fighter until it arrived home. Col Douglas, who later retired to Texas as Brig. Gen. Douglas, made sure the tanker pilot received a commendation for his efforts. The Arkansas Traveler eventually made its way back to the United States after being repaired. It later served several tours of duty in Georgia before being retire to the HAFB museum.
