Magnuson Requests
Change in Review
Of CAB's Decisions
Washington (U.R) Sen
"Warren G. Magnuson has asked
Congress to revoke the Presi
dent's right to review Civil
Aeronautics Board decisions ex
cept in "cases involving nation
el defense and foreign policy."
The Washington Democrat's
measure also would open the
door for non-scheduled airlines
C to be given recognition as reg
ular supplemental carriers under
CAB regulation.
Commerce Chairman
Magnuson is chairman of the
Senate Commerce committee
which would consider the bill to
overhaul the 1938 Civil Aero
nautics act.
His proposal would give the
CAB discretionary authority to
recognize "non-sked" airlines in
a special class known as "sup
plemental air service carriers."
The board also would be au
thorized to issue "certificates of
Dublic convenience and neces
sity" to such airlines defining
the "type and extent of supple
mental service" they could pro
vide.
Approval Required
Under present law, the Presi
dent is required to approve all
franchises granted by the CAB
to U.S. airlines for schedules
and routes outside the country.
He does not have to review do
mestic route decisions. ,:
. Magnuson was a leading crit
ic of a recent White Hiuse de
cision which denied Northwest
Airlines a Seattle-Honolulu
route but let Pan-American air
ways to continue to fly the same
route. The depision later was
modified to certify both car-
riers,;.......c--r-
The film's 65 - foot phony
whale sank, actor Richard Base
hart broke a leg, actor Leo Genn
was injured, storms battered the
company, and Peck was dunked
in the ocean. For . seven months
adventurous director John Hus
ton led his sea-soaked actors and
technicians - from Ireland to
Wales to London to the Canary
Islands and almost to Africa, if
a second thought hadn't stopped
him.
Greatest Adventure
But all this discomfort to Peck
was "really living."
"We shared an adventure, the
greatest adventure I've ever
had," Peck said with a bit of nos
talgia as he sat, warm and dry,
at his hotel.
"Unless a movie has some kind
of stimulus or new idea I'm just
not interested any more. I've
made all the hack pictures I'm
ever going to. make. I'd rather do
something I like on a straight
salary than 'The Indians Ride
Again on 66 per cent of the
gross."
The company's darkest hour
was the 11 weeks' location for
the : whaling sequences off the
coast, of Wales.
"Every day we went out, but
we had only 10 good weather
days,", said Peck. "The boat
(built by Walt Disney for "Treas
ure Island') was top heavy be
cause of the length of the mast,
and when it got too stormy we
were. chased in..
"People got seasick. Then the
tow line broke on our whale
which had been made of wood,
wiring and a rubberized material
covering the hull of a ship. Two
men nearly drowned trying to
save it. The waves were 20 feet
high.
Others Nearly Lost
"We also lost two masts, and if
they had fallen minutes before,
the 18 men on them would have
been lost, too."
For the final scene Peck is
shown strapped to Moby Dick,
the Great White Whale.
"I thought it would be a trick
shot in miniature, but that was
a little treat Huston had been
saving for me," grinned Peck,
"Darned if he didn't tie me on
the side of the whale and roll me
under the water."
The film, scheduled for 12
weeks of shooting, took 30. The
budget, says .Peck, "was never
taken too seriously." Occasion
ally the men who put up the
money dropped in "to see what
we were doing."
"They were worried," he
smiled. "But after thejr saw how
great the film was, they'd leave."
Peck, I noticed, picked up a
lew continental habits on his
trip, such as wine with lunch and
a collection of art objects and
paintings. Another acquisition,
French lady journalist Veronique
Passani, is due to visit him next

Keep Hands Off
Of Foreign Policy,
Military Warned .
Quantico, Va. -(U.R) S e n.
Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) a
proud former leatherneck, told
it to the Marines Saturday: let
civilians run foreign policy.
Mansfield's remarks were pre
pared for a batch of new second
lieutenants graduating from the
Marine Corps schools, but they
were aimed at all career military
men. V :- !.
The Montana Democrat, a
member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, warned
military leaders to shun politics
also, . lest they lose the confi
dence of the people in their un
biased military judgment. ;
, "Military leaders ought not to
assume that military training
provides an automatic back
ground for politics, whether na
tional . or ; international," said
Mansfield, "and they ought not,
in the formulation and conduct
of foreign policy, to exteed the
powers of their appointive of
fices." Provide Power Reserve
"The role of the military in
foreign policy," he said, "is to
provide a reserve of power to
support negotiations concerning
our just interests in the world,
and to defend those interests if
attacked."
But the President and the Sec
retary of State, not the military,
must determine "what our in
terests are, and when and how
they are to be defended," Mans
field added.
