the Republican primary, when Corker was accused of lying by his opponents then, former U.S. Reps. Ed Bryant and Van Hilleary. "I know Mr. Corker lied a lot in the primary, and when you lie in the primary, you think you can lie in the general (election) as well," said Ford.

Love, Momma, Roni Nick general, what makes anyone think he's not going to lie after he's elected?" Ben Mitchell, Corker's campaign manager, said the former Chattanooga mayor's ad is well documented and accurate as illustrated by Ford's voting on the Patriot Act. "When you hire John Kerry's political consultants to run your campaign, you get John Kerry's excuses," Mitchell said. "The best he can claim is that he voted against it before he voted for it." Michael Powell, senior adviser to the Ford campaign, said Corker appears to be spending about $725,000 on statewide TV to air the latest attack ad, including $325,000 given his campaign by the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Mitchell said the ad is airing statewide but declined to discuss costs or the amount given the Corker campaign by the NRSC. Powell said the NRSC can legally transfer more than $700,000 to Corker during the course of the entire campaign.
The Democratic counterpart to NRSC, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, has already aired two ads in East Tennessee attacking Corker. The RNC ad, as with the DSCC ads, is classified as an "independent expenditure" not legally tied to either campaign and operated out of Washington. "For weeks, Congressman Harold Ford liberal friends have been running false, misleading and untrue ads against Bob Corker," said Mitchell of the RNC and Corker ads attacking Ford. "This is something he should have expected." Corker, meanwhile, has declined another debate request this one from NBC's "Meet The Press" show, televised nationally. Ford accepted and criticized Corker for not doing sO.
Corker has agreed to just three debates, one in each grand division of the state. Ford has made a theme of declaring he is ready to debate Corker anywhere and at virtually anytime "if you'll just give me 12 hours notice." Mitchell said Corker is following tradition by agreeing to three debates statewide and, as for the national "Meet the Press" invitation, "We give priority to Tennessee." Ford spokeswoman Carol Andrews said Tennessee has the only competitive Senate race in the nation that won't be represented in the "Meet the Press" series of debates, thanks to Corker's refusal. Republican candidates for the state Legislature held news conferences across the state last week, the second in a series they call "Trust Tennessee," which is designed to tout general GOP positions on state legislation. The theme of the latest event was taxes most notably a call for lowering the state sales tax on groceries by a half-cent per dollar each year for the next 12 years. Bills to eliminate or reduce the food sales tax have surfaced repeatedly during recent years but have always been defeated.
Gov. Phil Bredesen has opposed such measures in the past as potentially undermining state budget stability but recently said he is open to considering the possibility in the future if budget surpluses continue. Republicans say the first halfcent would have cost about $35 million in state revenue and that amount could have been covered with current surpluses. At the Nashville event, state Rep. Philip Johnson, R-Peagram, coordinator of "Trust Tennessee" events, said Republicans "would be happy to have him (Bredesen) on our side." But state Democratic Chairman Bob Tuke criticized the idea, saying "Tennessee Republicans have obviously learned how to bust a budget from their Washington role models." "They want to remove a stable revenue source from the state budget and replace it with nothing more than a wink and a nod.
If we follow their lead, the state will wind up in a budget crisis and the debate over a new revenue source will reignite," he said, suggesting a new call for a state income tax would result. Opposition to a state income tax, of course, was also part of the Republican "Trust Tennessee" agenda. Tom Humphrey may be reached at 615-242-7782. BRIAN TIMES GAZETTE Air Force and Navy personnel work Thursday to uncover a World War II era aircraft that has been resting on the bottom of the Duck River in Normandy, for more than 60 years. Three large sections of an aircraft fuselage have been revealed, along with brackets and pieces of cable, which may help historians identify the plane.
Pieces of wreckage from WWII aircraft pulled from Duck River BY BRIAN MOSELY Shelbyville Times-Gazette NORMANDY, Tenn. Enormous sections of a World War II aircraft that has rested on the bottom of the Duck River in Normandy for more than 60 years were uncovered and measured by Air Force and Navy personnel. But after Thursday's examination of the vintage wreckage, there are more questions than answers over exactly what type of warplane is sitting on the riverbed. Normandy Mayor Larry Nee first brought attention to the mystery plane in March of last year. At the time there were only two pieces of the craft visible, both of them on the shoreline.
The first section of the fuselage that was noticeable last year is embedded in the banks of the river under the bridge build by TVA in 1971. The piece was exposed after a flood in 1995 washed soil away from the 15- foot section. But more of the buried piece was being dug up Thursday. Another section that was tangled in limbs some 100 yards up river was removed from the area last year. But now, three large sections of an aircraft fuselage have been revealed, along with brackets and pieces of cable recovered from the bottom of the river, which may help historians identify the plane.
U.S. Navy Cmdr. Frank Moulds, who is stationed at Arnold Engineering Development Center, heard about the crash site in Normandy and took the opportunity to come out and take a look at it. He researched what few records there were of the time period and discovered there were as many as 50 military crash sites scattered all over Bedford, Coffee and Franklin counties. It's the commander's theory that the plane resting on the river bottom is a B-25 Mitchell Bomber that went down in 1943.
The problem is that when investigators of the time looked into the crashes, they weren't very specific about where the planes fell. "Back during the war, they weren't careful about It says the B-25 crashed miles northwest of William-Northern Field, but it leaves you to figure out where it exactly happened. They didn't use latitude or longitude to pinpoint it." That's why he and Air Force aircraft maintenance personnel from AEDC were working to clean off years of mud and muck to see if there is anything that could identify the craft. "We're looking for windows that a B-25 might have had, components that might help identify it," Moulds said. "We're finding too much metal for a B-25.
(I)t had a wingspan of over 67 feet and 55 feet long." But other components discovered at least show the manufacturers' name: Boeing, along with serial numbers. Some parts made by different companies were used on various aircraft, and it is at least one piece of the puzzle. The main task Thursday was to take measurements of the pieces on the river bottom and find a characteristic to compare to World War II aircraft on display in museums. Air Force personnel took to the river and began scrubbing and measuring the fuselage, with one section extending 37 feet long. Underwater photos were taken as well, and several pieces were brought up from the Duck River.
According to Nee, the aircraft came down one summer day in 1943 onto the farm of the late Martin Glodo as he and some German POWs were working the fields. Glodo told Nee that when the plane went down, it pushed up a lot of dirt in the field. According to the story, the military came out to the crash site, removed the engines and then pushed the rest of the aircraft into the Duck River and buried it. The fate of the pilot is unknown. Nee said Thursday that it is likely that some of the plane still could be buried under stone laid down by TVA in later years when the bridge was constructed.
After about two hours of work, Moulds admitted that there was much more aircraft in the river than was first believed. "There seems to be more aircraft components that we have for our theories," the Navy commander said. "We've got 93 feet of airplane it's definitely an aircraft. Every component we have found is easily identifiable but the type of aircraft, we still don't know." Moulds says that the next step is to let aircraft museums examine the pieces recovered 1 to help determine what kind of plane they belonged to..
