Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, April 16, 195', THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Air Hostess Works Wonders with Smile, Assured Look Section 1 Page 9 By JAN THOMAS Untied Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTA (UP)-Airline stew ardesses, who seem to possess built-in calmness during trying moments aloft, have a simple formula for coping with emergen cieslook assured and smile. "You'd be surprised how assur ance spreads," said Pat McCarthy of Chicago, who has experienced an emergency preparation. One commercial airline emer gency after another in recent ' months has produced the familiar story of the calm stewardess who helped nervous passengers keep their senses until the danger was over. At the Atlanta Municipal Air port, one of the nation's busiest, stewardesses and pilots today of fered some modest explanations lor their conduct under stress and some helpful hints "for passengeis. "You know you're the only one who knows what to do and you know you've got to do it," said stewardess Harriett Videtto of Augusta, Ga. "You just know you can't let anybody down when all those people are depending on you." '. v , No Time To Worry Miss McCarthy once handled emergency preparations for a belly landing at Houston, Tex.. when a fa'ilty light indicated gear trouble. According to airline offi cials, such a situation is not rare, but usually the gear holds up. "It's amazing how calm you can remain under emergency condi' tions, she said. You re so con cerned about the passengers you don't have time to worry about yourself. A situation similar to the one in Texas occurred here last week. A Capital Airlines plane circled the Atlanta Airport for three hours to burn up gas before attempting what might have been a crash landing. Two passengers slept right through it. A third said afterwards she "enjoyed watching the sun come up." There was no panic. The passengers attributed their trust to a level-headed stewardess who walked up and down the aisle smiling and chatting. She prepared them for a crash landing and kept them posted on late developments from the cockpit. As in all emergencies of this kind, the passengers were pre pared for the worst. They were told to remove their glasses, false teeth, high heeled shoes and other sharp articles such as pocket pencils and tic clasps. They were padded beneath their seat belts with pillows, blankets and coats.

(AP Wircphoto) U.S. Ships to Pay Suez Toll Under Protest Ban Due to Be Lifted In Few Days; Some Canal-Bound By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON UH - The United States is now about ready to allow American ships to pass through the Suez Canal under Egyptian terms provided they do so under protest against Egypt's operating arrangements. Top officials who disclosed this today predicted such a go-ahead to pay tolls direct to the Egyptian Seuz Canal Authority. The government move would void earlier State Department "advice" that American ships keep away from the canal until physical and negotiating hazards involved in reopening the water Way had been overcome. Some American commercial ships are reported already ap proaching the canal, anticipating that the government will lift the ban within a few days even though Egypt's President Gamal Abdcl Nasser has refused to meet West ern terms for operating the water way. The new American government attitude, officials said, would be made known about the time the Eisenhower administration offi cially informs the United Nations its confidential talks with Egypt have failed to yield a satisfactory settlement. Such a report is expected to be made to the Security Council sometime this week. It will make clear the United States hope that further talks with Egypt will he held on the nine-month dispute which touched off fighting last : iS October. p Although they have yielded little the private U.S.-Eeyptian talks have continued in Cairo.

An airline spokesman said sixty persons can be evacuated from a plane in about three minutes with out panic. The necessity for speed, of course, is the possibility of an explosion or fire. The most common emergency is landing gear trouble. Engine fires arc rare, and commercial airlin ers normally arc able to fly safe ly on one engine. Power failure is another cause of crack-ups, par ticularly on take-offs, but airline officials say the chances of it happening also are remote. "If we feather an engine at night, nine, times out of ten no body knows it, and we wouldn't call attention to it," said Harriet Barrett, a stewardess instructor. "But in the daytime, passengers often notice engine failure. In that case we merely explain that it will only mean losing some speed." The Florence-Nightingales of the airways are hand picked and must pass rigid physical and personality tests. "More than anything else we look for an intelligent, mature girl with poise, emotional stabil ity and charm," said Delta Air Lines personnel man Arthur Dav is. "That's the kind of gal who can hold up in an emergency." Parents Dig Trench in Street To Guard Kids From Speeders LIBERTY. Mo. Itfl The ?ity dig up the street to demonstrate Council decided last night the res idents along Hillside Street had the right idea but used the wrong technique when they gouged a trench three inches deep across their street. Eight couples joined in the proj ect Sunday and posted signs: "Slow Mad Parents." "We had to erect the signs and Hungary Not Yet Subdued VIENNA ln New measures arc necessary in Hungary "to wipe out the counter-revolution," Communist Foreign Minister Imrc Horvath declared in a speech re ported Tuesday by Radio Budapest. His declaration that anti-communism had not been quelled came nearly six months after the outbreak of the revolution crushed last November by the Russians, It appeared to be an admission that six months of arrests, trials and executions have not wiped out the spirit of the uprising. that something had to be done right now to protect the 30 kids along the street," Mrs. Harry Hutsell Jr. told the Council. "Drivers go through here any where from 50 to 65 miles an hour so fast we can't got their license numbers." Mrs. Marvin L. Sands, who lives two blocks from the trench, complained tn the Council she cut a tire crossing it. "When people take the law into their own hands and dig up a street because some of them can t control their own children it's not a good thing," she said. "Some of the very people who complain about speeders in their block roar through our block. The Council ordered City enei ncer Richard Rcavis to fill in the trench but it also instructed him to erect a four-way stop sign at a nearby intersection as a means of slowing down traffic. The Council also approved the engineer's idea of building two numps into Hillside Street about 20(1 feet apart. "These rises will not be a hazard to drivers going slow along there but would give a speeder a good bounce, 1 Reav explained. DAR Leader Voices Pride WASHINGTON Wl-Thc Daugh ters of the American Revolution were told by their president gen eral today that "any great patri otic and conservative organiza' tion will be under fire in these critical limes." But, said Mrs. Frederic A, Groves of Cape Girardeau, Mo., .we have every reason for prido in the accomplishments of our na tional society. . . Wo have a mag nificent record of service."

A Lincoln's Birthday program was canceled in Golden, Colo, aft cr a Denver official of the DAR said she thought "Mexican" hoys should not carry the American Hag. I h c remark by Mrs, Charlotte Rush touched off a na tionwide reaction. She resigned as patriotism chairman of the Den ver DAR chapter and issued an apology, but maintained her re mark had been misunderstood.

He predicted the testimony will show "terror tactics" by some labor union officials against mem bers of their own unions as well as against employers in the Scran ton area. Committee sources said one phase of the hearings will deal with conversations recorded se cretly by Helen Canfield, 27, a pretty dark-haired divorcee, and her friend Paul Bradshaw. in an effort to show that Bradshaw is innocent of dynamiting charges. The recordings were made af ter Bradshaw was convicted on charges that in 1954 he dynamited a house under construction by a nonunion contractor. He still is awaiting sentence on the charge. Bradshaw, a onetime prize fight er and former Teamsters Union steward, is among the scheduled leadott witnesses.
