Refuses Claim in
Airline
Washington - (UPD - Civil

said today they have found

Kov. 8 in which 44 persons
were killed.
They made the statement
Death
Regulus Missile
Test Adds Weapon
To Navy Arsenal
Point Mugu, Calif. - (UPD -Stealth
and atomic destruction
were combined today in a
Navy weapons system capable
of flinging devastation 1,000
miles inland from a sub
marine.
The newest weapon in the
Navy's atomic-age arsenal was
tested Tuesday when the sub
marine U5S Grayback sur
faced off the California coast
and fired a Regulus II con
trolled missile 200 miles.
First Sub Firing
It . was the first time the
stubby winged Regulus II, a
57-foot, turbo - jet powered
weapon capable of flying more
than 1,000 miles at twice the
speed of sound, had been fired
from a submarine.
The sleek Grayback sur
faced near the Point Mugu
naval air missile test center,
disgorged the missile from
one of two forward carrying
pods, and swung it into posi
tion on a swiveling launcher.
The Regulus II, essentially
a remote-controlled jet air
craft, roared aloft assisted by
a jet booster and, trailing a
wake of smoke, flew seaward.
' It was turned inland and
under "positive control" on
the ground and by accom
panying chase planes winged
toward Edwards Air Force
Base, 100 miles northeast of
Los Angeles.
Controlled Landing
The missile made a "con
trolled wheels-up landing"' at
Edwards, caught fire and
burned. Spokesmen blamed
destruction of the craft on
failure of "peacetime recov
ery gear."
In war, there would be no
need of landing the Regulus
on its tricycle gear. It would
slam into its target from 60,
000 feet above or hedge-hop
to its target.
Although the missile was
supposed to have been recov
ered intact as others have
been on firings from this test
center, department of defense
spokesmen said the launching
was a "success."
HULA HOOPS BANNED
Davenport, Iowa- (UPD -T h e
Monroe Elementary school
has banned hula hoops from
its playground. School offic
ials said the whirling hoops
were causing "confusion" and
a storage problem.
when asked about a copyright
ed story in the San Francisco
Examiner Tuesday that an in
surance company has refused
to pay a $20,000 policy on the
life of William Payne, a pas
senger on the plane.
The newspaper said the re
fusal was based, among other
reasons, on the fact that Pay
ne's body was not recovered
and there was no proof he
was dead.
It said he was known to be
heavily in debt and had taken
out three life insurance poli
cies totaling $145,000 in the
two weeks before the plane
left San Francisco for Hono
lulu. The Examiner added that
Payne was a former Navy
frogman and demolition ex
pert. A CAB expert told United
Press International that lab
oratory examination of pieces
of the plane's wreckage ruled
out "a bomb explosion of any
kind" within the fuselage.
He said "we were quite con
cerned with the possibility of
sabotage but we ound no evi
dence to support such a the
ory. What evidence we had
was against it."
The Examiner story said
two insurance companies have
paid Payne's widow, Harriet,
$125,000.
Mrs. Payne, Manteca, Calif,
has retained San Francisco at
torney Elliott Semour who
said he would file suit to col
lect the $20,000 from the
third insurance company. He
identified it as Western Life
of Helena, Mont.
West Coast Denies
Threat To Pilots
On Jet Flights
Seattle (UPD Nick Bez,
president of West Coast Air
lines, has issued a statement
denying a charge that the line
tried to get its pilots to fly
the new turbopowered Fair
child F-27 aircraft under
threat of discharge and with
out a raise in pay.
C. M.'Sayen, president of
the Air Line Pilots Associa
tion, made the charge in Chi
cago Tuesday after the ALPA
set a deadline of 11:59 p.m.
today for a strike of its mem
ber pilots against West Coast.
The ALPA said 88 pilots
would be involved in such a
walkout against the line,
which operates in Oregon,
Idaho and Washington. The
dispute is reported to be over
pay rates and other factors
in flying the F-27s.
Sayen said the line had
tried to get the pilots "under
threat of discharge" to fly the
new aircraft without a raise
in pay and without establish
ing rules or working condi
tions. Bez denied the charge.
"There were no threats of
discharge," he said. "Pjjpts
who had previously been
scheduled to take training
flights Tuesday were asked
to do so and the flights were
made."
"Our offer is $241 a month
more than our pilots receive
presently for flying the Doug
las DC-3," Bez said.

WHICH
WASH-n-WEAR
Will Fall APART?
Select Wash-n-Wear Clothes
for Children Carefully
if you choose to buy them. One brand
may launder satisfactorily. Another
may turn dirty yellow or fall apart.
This may happen to dress or sport
shirts, blouses, work or play clothes,
or other wash-n-wear fabrics and gar
ments, white or colored, normally
bleached for stain removal and reten
tion of original whiteness.
According to American Institute
Laundering, inferior wash-n-wear
garments may be made with certain
resin finishes that absorb chlorine from
hypochlorite bleach, commonly used.
This can't rinse out and heat from
ironing creates an acid which yellows
or destroys the fabric.
If you buy wash-n-wear or other wash
ables, be sure they carry the CERTIFIED
WASHABLE SEAL of American Institute
of Laundering. It certifies we can launder
them to perfection.

very soon on whether Sherman
