Officials, Pilots
Differ on Drinks
Washington (U.R) Commer
cial airlines and their pilots
and stewardesses differ on
whether airborne drinking has
changed airliners into flying
saloons and burlesque houses.
The pilots and stewardesses
protested to Congress Friday
that serving alcoholic drinks to
passengers during flights is dan
gerous. They said drunken pas
sengers often become obscene,
troublesome and create a safety
hazard.
But an airline spokesman de
nied that serving passengers
drinks was dangerous to the
plane's safety. He said 8,000,000
of the 10,000,000 persons using
-ommercial airlines last year
wanted to be able to have a
drink aloft.
Both sides of the question
were discussed at a hearing be
fore a house commerce subcom
mittee considering legislation to
forbid the airlines to serve al
coholic drinks.
Civil Aeronautics Board Vice
Chairman Joseph P. Adams told
the subcommittee the CAB has
not received "an authentic ac
count of a single accident" in
which liquor affected safety. But
he said the CAB held no official
position on the question.
Rowland K. Quinn Jr., presi
dent of the Airline Stewards
& Stewardesses Association, told
the subcommittee that drunken
passengers often became "can

Here I sit, amid luxurious

of the world's largest and most

crater, in turn nestles on the
shoulder of a yet larger and al
most equally active volcano,
Mauna Loa, the world's most
massive mountain.
The impressions one captures
at this famous Big Island resort
are many. Kilauea is a gentle

down to the sea destroying fields,

the vast crater stretches out be

like a sleeping giant, it may
suddenly stir as it has in the
past and spew out millions of
tons of white-hot lava in foun

hurl ton-sized boulders high into

suited from a giant, 2,000-mile
rift on the 18,000 foot-deep
ocean floor, extending from this
Big Island to Kure (ocean)
Island. During its 60,000,000
year-history, eruption after erup
tion occurred, and flow by flow,
built up this enormous submar
ine mountain range. Of the
mountains which rise above the
level of the sea, Mauna Loa is
the bulkist, rising 13,680 feet.
But taken from its ocean base,
this mountain is over 30,000 feet
a mass of 10,000 cubic miles.
In contrast, Mt. Shasta'a 80 cub
ic miles is puny indeed!
Such talk tends to dwarf
Kilauea, into which I am now
looking but in its own right, it
is surpassed in size by few of
the world's volcanos. It rises
20,000 feet from its ocean base.
The floor of its crater contains
2,000 acres and within this crat
er here is yet another, with a
p't about 300 feet across and
1,000 feet deep.
During the past 100 years,
since the white man has record
ed its history, molten lava has
filled thig cauldron more than
60 per cent of the time. Coming
eruptions often give advance
warnings: the solid rock side of
the mountain swells; a series of
earthquakes start at great depth
and rise to "the surface as the
lava wells up through deep
cracks in the volcano; then, fin
ally, the surface cracks and out
gushes the white-hot lava in
spectucalar fountains. Within
hours, people from all over the
territory converge upon this
grand spectacle.
Firs 300 Feet High
During 1952, a solid curtain
of fire spouted 300 feet high,
with one fountain playing to a
height of 750 feet. Two years
later, the moulten lake had a
600-foot long series of fountains.
As you look upon this spec
tacular sight, you suddenly real
ize that you are privileged to
to see the earth-building. With
tremendous force, the hot lava
builds ups a 50-foot wide river,
perhaps 10 feet thick.
At night, the sight from the
Volcano House can be particular
ly spectacular; the reflecting
glow lights up your room facing
the crater, making it bright
enough to read the Hilo Tribune
Herald. Thus earth is created.
