Margaret Mary Donofry, Jackson Heights, N.Y., testi fied before a House govern ment operations subcommit iu ii-ii.oatif9tinr rharpes of I lax safety practices in civil aviation. Miss Donofry said her stint at the controls of a big East ern Airlines plane grew out of a conversation with the pilot and co-pilot of a flight from Atlanta to New York in 1958. The shapely former stewardess said she was in control of the plane for 35 to 40 minutes. The subcommittee also heard from: -A former Trans World Air liner purser who said fie flew planes about two dozen times during a five-year period. -A former Pan American Airways stewardess who saw a stewardess at the copilot's controls of a flight. i -A veteran flight engineer who testified to witnessing "frequent" safety infractions during a 20-year career with Western Airlines. Stress Need of Safety All the witnesses said they had heard of more safety vio lations than they had seen, and generally agreed that bet ter training, designed to im press stewardesses and cabin attendants with safety prac tices, would help cut theih down. All said there were many airline captains who maintained strict adherence to safety rules as well as some who allowed infractions to take place. The former Pan Ar.ierican stewardess. Miss Marie Louise Hurley, Arlington, Va., and Baton Rouge, La., said that on a flight a few jears ago - she was unable to recall the date or destination - she felt the plane "rolling." When she went forward to find out what the trouble was, she said, she found a fellow stew ardess at the controls of the airliner. Miss Hurley also testified that the third officer on one of her flights was intoxicated and had not been to bed all night; Site said she took him "innumerable cups of coffee to revive him." Miss Hurley was the first of several witnesses produced by Chairman Jack Brooks (D Tex.) to document his charge that while passengers "are trustfully sitting in the pas senger compartment, pilots sometimes are sleeping in the cockpits behind closed doors and stewardesses are operat ing the flight controls." Administrator Present Sitting in the audience and taking notes on the testimony was Federal Aviation Admin istrator Naiceb Halaby. He listened intently as Brooks said it was a responsibility of the federal government to do everything possible to pro tect the lives of the 1 4 million Americans who fiy on com mercial airliners every year. Fred V. Hazlett. Sunland. Calif., now with Aero Naves Sud Americana, a supplemen tal air carrier, said he worked from 1941 to 1961 as a me chanic and flight engineer with Western. Once on a flight between Reno and San Francisco, he said, he was in the cabin ob- serving the engines when the plane yawed violently. Hazlett said he rushed back to the cockpit and saw a stewardess sitting on the pilot's lap. Hazlett said he concluded that the stwardess' heel had brushed the fuel mix ture switch when she sat down, but was told the en gine had "quit for no good reason." Hazlett said he also Hew with a pilot and copilot who habiUialtv turned on the auto matic pilot and played gin rummy as soon as the plane reached cruising altitude. House Committee Votes Washington - 0JPD - The House Agriculture committee voted 22-10 today to correct a blooper in the new farm bill which would have subjected up to 300,000 small wheat growers to cash penalties for overplanting.
