The Week in California Widow of Airlines Pilot Criticizes FAA, Quesada DANCE TONIGHT lHlllli (CHRISTMAS NIGHT) Sunday, December 25 OASIS BALLROOM EAGLE POINT Muiic by The ROGUE NITE RIDERS Guest Singing Star Tex LeMasler & Hit Swinging Guitar By United Presi International Two tragic airplane acci dents - one a collision over New York, the other a crash In downtown Munich - toucn ed deeply into the lives of a number of California families during the week. " In southern California, the widow of an airline pilot kill ed in the New York collision bitterly criticized the Federal Aviation agency (FAA), call ing for reorganization of its "horse and buggy control in a jet age." Mrs. Robert Sawyer, who buried her husband in Hemet, made the charges in a draft of an open letter she said she hoped would be printed throughout the country. The letter was to all members ot Congress. Mrs. Sawyer is the widow of the pilot of a United Air Lines DC-8 whicn collided, in flight with a TWA Super Con stellation over New York Dec. 16, killing 128 occupants of the planes and seven persons on the ground. Calls for Complete Overhaul In her letter, she called for a "complete overhaul of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958. "This legislation permits one small group of military men to abritrarily run civil aviation's enormously com plex traffic controls with de liberate exclusion of the com mercial airlines and of their overwhelmingly greater expe rience. "I am confident that the hearing next month (in Wash ington) will prove once again that public safety is being sac rificed by Gen. (Elwood) Que sada's failure to grapple with the basic problem of horse and buggy traffic controls in a jet age." The same day that she made public her letter, Alex Schnei der, an American teen-ager from California, was buried In Munich, a city shocked out of its usual Christmas gaiety by the crash that killed 19 other Americans and 33 Germans. Alex, 19, of Inglewood, Cal if., was one of the laughing, excited students who boarded a U. S. Air Force plane in Munich for the Christmas holi day flight to London - and who died minutes later when the plane crashed into a Mu nich streetcar. . Elsewhere, there were these developments: Block: Fred Block spent his ninth Christmas in jail this year for refusing to pay ali mony and child support to his ex-wife. Yolo County Sheriff Forrest Monroe said he would not appear in court until after the holidays to determine the disposition of $1,100 in social security payments he is hold ing for Block. An attorney for Block's former wife had obtained a court order to at tach . the funds, but a legal question arose as to whether social security funds could be attached. Meanwhile, the sher iff said Block's ninth Christ mas dinner behind bars con sisted of ham with all the trimmings.
