Subcommittee
Hears Cases of
Safety Violations
Washington - (UPI) - A dark
haired former stewardess tes
tified today she once flew a
Constellation airliner loaded
with passengers from Atlanta,
Ga.. to Charlotte, N.C.
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.
The administration - backed
bill was expected to win
House passage later today. Its
enactment would permit
growers to plant up to 15
acres of 1963 crop wheat
I without penalty taxes. Small
growers were restricted this
year to a maximum of 13.5
acres.
Last Friday, less than 24
hours after President Ken
nedy signed the bill, Demo
cratic farm leaders tried to
quietly launch a drive for
quick division of the new law.
