NBC Criticized
For Escape Help
Washington -tUNl-The Slate
Department has criticized the
National Broadcasting Co. for
involving itself in the digging
and use of an escape tunnel
under the Berlin wall.
The department emphasiz
ed, however, that the only
reason it objected to the NBC
action was that Americans
played a part in the opera
tion through their filming of
it, and that this involved a
"risk."
It said it did not feel that
televising a film of the events
would be of any risk to those
taking part in the construc
tion of the tunnel and a sub
sequent escape through it.
Convenient Plane
Schedules Asked
Portland - WW - Pleas for
airline service and more con
venient schedules to Oregon
cities were voiced here last
week as a Civil Aeronautics
board hearing on West Coast
Airlines service continued.
Portland Mayor Terry
Schrunk said suspension of
airline service' under the
CAB's "use-it-or-lose-it" poll
cv would virtually isolate
some cities.
Thousands of dollars in
subsidies for airlines flying
to such smaller isolated cities
as Burns and Lakeview are
justified In the interests of
the whole state, Ray Allen,
manager of the Portland
Freight Traffic association,
said.
Allen charged that West
Coast has not provided sched
ules that would encourage air
traffic, however.
The Word Is 'Bird
Doctor, Not Birth
San Francisco -ll'Plu Crew
men of a German freighter,
wary of U.S. quarantine
regulations, sent a message
Thursday while steaming
through the Golden Gate
and louched off an abund
ance of confusion,
"Bird on boardi advise
what to do," lhty messaged.
This somehow got copied
down as "birth on board . , ."
And mystified crewmen
got this reply:
"We're sending a doctor
io handle the situation."
A worried quarantine of
ficer boarded the ship short
ly thereafter and asked to
sea the baby.
Able Seaman Verne Jans
son of Hamburg sheepishly
displayed a 6-month old
green and yellow parakeet.
The quarantine officer
said the bird would have io
stay aboard and left,

The department also em
phasized that any decision on
such a telecast was strictly
up to NBC.
The network had assured
the State Department that ed
iting of the film would hide
the identities of all those in
the film except those who
specifically consented -to re
vealing themselves.
It also argued that a group
of students had started to
build the tunnel by the time
NBC arranged to film the op
eration. It said "meticulous
precautions were taken to in
sure against any additional
risk "already implicit in the
students' project."
Press officer Lincoln White
said the Slate Department
considered NBC's "risky, ir
responsible" and "contrary to
the best interests of the Unit
ed States."

CAB To Continue
Hearings on West
Coast Airlines
Portland fUPI Civil Aero
nautics Board examiner Wal
ter Bryan continued hearings
on West Coast Airlines service
in Oregon until Mouday after
the airline presented its case
here Friday.
The hearings were origin
ally scheduled to end Friday.
West Coast introduced sta
tistics which showed a "sav
ings" of $106,678 a year if air
service could be eliminated to
Bend and Redmond. The CAB
estimated elimination of the
two cities would make a dif
ference of only $8,800.
The airline submitted sev
en pounds of statistical stud
ies pertaining to its Oregon
service. Us experts and those
of the CAB came up with dif
ferent figures on the cost of
eliminating service to various
Oregon points. Except for the
Bcnd-Rcdmond example, they
were within about $1,000 of
each other, however.
The CAB is conducting the
hearing to determine if West
Coast service should be sus
pended to nine Oregon cities
because of lack of passenger
traffic. The cities involved are
Baker, Bend, Burns, Lake
view, Klamath Falls, Ontario,
Redmond, Pendleton and Sa
lem. West Coast Is supporting
a plan for suspension of Unit
ed Airlines service to Pendle
ton and Salem, leaving the
way open for West Coast.

Reclamation Heads
Aim for Revenues
From Dam
Portland, Ore. Na.
tional reclamation leaders
have set their sights on the
revenues from big dams as
a means of paying for more
water resource development
projects.
The National Reclamation
association convention here
passed a resolution calling
for a special committee to
study the relationship of hy
dro-electric power licensing to
reclamation work. The com
mittee was instructed to re
port back next year.
The convention also passed
a resolution endorsing the use
of "basin-wide power and oth
er revenues" for irrigation
projects. The convention end
ed Friday.
The actions came after U.S.
Commissioner of Reclamation
Floyd Dominy urged federal,
not private, construction of
High Mountain Sheep dam on
the Snake river. He said fed
eral construction would make
revenues from the dam avail
able for reclamation work in
the northwest.
Supporters of the resolu
tion creating a special study
committee denied it was in
tended to delay probable li
censing of a private firm to
build High Mountain Sheep,
now pending before Ihe Fed
eral Power commission. But
private power was unhappy
with the resolution.
Acreage Limits
The convention passed 23
resolutions, including three
points urged by the California
water commisioner. It called
for overhaul of a number of
reclamation laws, inclusion of
projects primarily intended
to provide municipal or indus
trial water, and moderniza
tion of acreage limits per
farmer for irrigated land.
The convention said acre
limits should be flexible and
should recognize different
type of farming.
The convention also went
along with orcgon Governor
Mark Hatfield in urging clari
fication of stales' rights over
water. It called for a law to
require any federal agency to

Stewardess Plummets to
Death as Airliner Door
Accidently Comes Open
Windsor Locks, Conn. -(UPII-
Airline stewardess Francoise
de Moriere vanished in a
"woosh of air" Friday night
when she was pulled 1,500
feet to her. death by the slip
stream rushing past an acci
dentally opened service door
on her airport-bound Alleghe
ny Airliner.
Civil Aeronautics Board
(CAB) and Connecticut state
investigators Saturday sought
the reason for the freak in
flight mishap that sent the
29-year-old French-born stew
ardess hurtling screaming to
her death in the Connecticut
woodlands near the capital of
Hartford. A formal hearing
was tentatively called for 9
a.m. (EDT) Saturday.
None of the other 50 pas
sengers and crew members
was injured when the top
hinged door at the rear of
the twin engined Convair
somehow opened at 1,500 feet
as Allegheny Airlines flight
928 was going in for a landing
at Bradley field here.
The second stewardess on
the flight, Katherine E. Lacy,
22, of Brooklinc, Mass., was
in a rest room across the aisle
from the service door which
blew open.
Forced It Back
The lavatory door was pull
ed from its hinges, but two
belted-in passengers in the
rear of the plane immediately
forced it back into place and
held it there to protect Miss
Lacy, according to passenger
Charles Mack, Springfield,
Mass., who also was sitting
in the tail.
Miss Lacy, on the advise of
the flight crew, remained in
the lavatory until the plane
landed.
Mack said there was not
much suction after the imme
diate rush of air when the
service door opened and Miss
De Moriere was pulled from
the plane. He said he had
"no idea" whether Miss Lacy,
the stewardess in the rest
room, was in danger of being
pulled from Ihe plane by the
slipstream.
Damaged by Tray
"It was like an explosion,
a blast, and that was it,"
Mack said. "More noise than
anything else."
