HER TRUNK IS PACKED AND READY TO GO Marie,
the elephant, is ready to board the Matson freighter
Hawaiian Refiner docked behind her at a San Francisco
pier. Any resemblance to a sitdown strike is mere co
incidence. Marie is just waiting for her trainer to show up
with the tickets. The eight-year-old, 3000-pound pachy
derm sailed aboard the freighter for Hawaii and a circus
engagement.
New Demands Voiced
For Ban on Drinking
On Passenger Planes
Washington ItP) Airborne
partying featuring a disrobing
lady and a kiss for the wrong
wife have led to new demands
for a ban on tippling aboard air
liners.
But Chan Gurney, vice chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics
board, insists there is no reason
for a ban on safety grounds.
Sens. Strom Thurmond,
(D-S.C), and Richard L. Neu
berger (D-Ore.), both nondrink-
ers, joined airline piloS and
stewardesses Tuesday in urging
a Senate Commerce subcommit
tee that drinking aboard airlin
ers should be stopped.
Leads To Incidents
President Rowland K. Quinn
Jr., of the Air Line Stewardess
es association testified that ser
ving liquor aloft leads to inci
dents ranging from being an
noying to dangerous. Q 0
Quinn said that during the
last six months in the skies over
the United States:
An inebriated passenger sat
down in a darkened cabin one
night to kiss his wife. He kissed
the wrong woman.
Another inebriated passen
ger wandered into the plane's
galley and began mixing his
own drinks.
One of a "group of Jolly
boys" threw a partially filled
fifth of whisky to or at a friend
and hit another passenger.
A woman in high spirits
' stood up in the cabin and un
dressed herself. Passengers tak
ing belated notice of the crew
trying to put her clothes back
on accused the crewmembers of
trying to undress her.
But a pretty, uniformed Na
tional Airlines Stewardess told
the committee that problems are
not caused so much by liquor
being served aboard planes as
by passengers who come aboard
tipsy or with bottles.
The witness, Martha Ann Al
exander of Miami, said that 8'
other stewardesses flying out of
Miami agreed with her and had
signed a petition against the leg
islation.
Complaints About Cigars
"I've had more complaints
about cigars than drinking," she
said.
Thurmond, who is author of
one bill to stop serving drinks
aloft, told the group that "I have
never found any one who could
give me one reason for permit
ting this hazard to continue, ex
cept for the purpose of meeting
competition.
Neuberger, who seldom flies
admitted under questioning that
his knowledge of the hazards of
airborne imbibing was based
mostly on hearsay. But he said
drinking should be banned on
all flights commercial, mili
tary and private for the safe
ty of all.
"Alcohol and flying do not
mix any more than do drinking
and driving," Thurmond said.
Gurney said that so far the
CAB has not found any case in
which a flight's safety was jeo
pardized by drinking.
More Help Sought
In Search For Boy
Brazil, Ind. (IT) An appeal
for more help wu issued today
in the fruitless search for a 7-year-old
boy who disappeared
without a trace.
The inch-by-inch door-by-door
hunt by 75 to 100 volunteers and
National Guardsmen through the
South and North Side of this
town of 12,000 Tuesday failed to
turn up a single clue as to the
whereabouts of Billy Earl Mar
tin. Billy was last seen Saturday,
about noon by his mother, and
four hours later by a guitar
strumming wanderer who lodged
at Billy's home.
The search has already in
volved about 1,000 volunteers
and National Guardsmen, Civil
Air Patrol planes, drainage of
nearby ponds and a thorough
ground search within and out
side the city.
Billy's mother, Florence, 35,
took a lie detector test which
upheld her contention she has
no idea what happened to him.
