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.

thorne, the airline stewardess
who was a principal in a tragic
case of mistaken identity, slip-
pea quietly out of a Burlin
game hospital. The girl, criti-
