Powerful Jets Usher in
New Transportation Era
Pan American Airways, with other airlines and merg
maintained the only flight ! ing of large companies were
into Cuba in the critical weeks i
before the blockade became i
effective, Richard W. Ems, j
district sales manager for the
airline raid in an addr - here!
Tuesday. I
Speaking before the Med-i
ford Rotary club's luncheon
meeting at the Rogue Valley
Country club, Ems said that
Pan American maintained the
single flight to Havana as a
good-will gesture. Refugees
who packed the out-bound jet
each day could pay only in
pesos.
The speaker, who has been
with Pan-Am's organization
lor the past eight years, re
minded his audience that new
and more powerful jets have
urhered in a new era in trans
portation and since their ad
vent the world has shrunk in
size 40 per cent.
Size of Airliner
Pan American's new 707-821-B
jet airliners are half the
length of a football field with
tails rising as high as a four
story building. The huge
planes, which have a cruising
range of 6,000 miles, can each
carry in a single year the
yearly passenger capacity of
the Queen Mary. The co?t of
one of these giant airlines
is approximately $6,000,000.
Planes that can be converted
from passenger lo cargo car
riers have recently been ac
quired by Pan American.
Americans who travel
abroad were urged to use
American planes. The greater
experience of U.S. airlines
and proven dependability of
. American planes were cited
' as plus factors in planning
nir trips abroad. With new
. jet airliners. American air
transport established a 1961
safety record of only one fa
tality per 100 million passen
ger miles. In other words,
Ems said, it is five times safer
lo ride in a jet plane operated
by a recognized company
than to ride in an automobile.
A further inducement to
air travel is the fact that U.S.
excise taxes will be lowered
from 10 to 5 per cent this
. week end for domestic flights.
Unless passengers stop over
in U.S. cities en route over
seas, no tax is involved.
Maintenance Costs
Pointing further to the
economies nf larger, faster
jet planes, Ems listed lower
maintenance costs with fewer
. major overhauls, and ability
to make more frequent big
load trips. Pooling resources
noted.
There is rumor that Pan
American Airways and Trans
World Airways will merge
due to growing costs and
trans-oceanic competition, the
speaker said. This merger, if
effected, would make the new
organization the largest in the
world.
The strike of flight engin
eers, which extended from
la?t November to July, 1962,
was costly lo U.S. lines, ac
cording to Ems. Although
Pan American was not direct
ly affected, the strike cost
the company in excess of $15
million.
Ken Cook, United Air Lines
manager here, introduce! the
speaker.
Two Accidents Are
Reported in Area
State police reported two
non injury traffic accidents
yesterday on Interstate 5 free
way in the Gold Hill-Rogue
River area.
The first occurred early yes
terday afternoon near Rogue
River when a tire on a car
driven by John Nelson West,
77, Aurora, Ore., blew out,
causing tile car and house
trailer it was pulling to tip
over on their sides.
Early last night near Gold
Hill, a car driven by Aiva
Newton Mauldin. 45, Grants
Pass, struck the rear of a log
ging truck and trailer when
the hood of the car opened,
police said.
The logging truck and trail
er was driven by Claude Win
ford Wilson, 23, of 420 North
Grape St., Medford, police

Reports of committee chair

hay in the valley, but a lot of
it had been damaged by the
heavy rains. Feed grain prices
were reported to be higher,
and the fruit growers plagued
by labor shortage and
weather.
It was stated that there is
no improvement in the dairy
situation, milk prices remain
ing the same, and a number
of dairies for sale. Imports of
honey from the Argentine and
other foreign markets were
reported to be keeping honey
prices down. Large numbers
of hogs from Omaha were be

drop in egg prices was noted,

IV 1LLIAM SLIM, once an elementary school teacher in
. ' Britain, is now Field Marshal the Viscount Slim, and
the manner in which he achieved his meteoric rise is de
tailed in his book "Unof
ficial History."
Lord Slim begins his
tale with a notable com
mentary on human na
ture: "there is nothing
like seeing the other fel
low run to bring back
your courage." Once he
stood behind a low wall
with a captured Italian
officer when bombs be
Igan falling all around.
Slim tells, "At each burst
the Italian, with his arms
still above his head, and
I with my revolver still
pointing at his belt buckle, in perfect unison, flexed our
knees, and sank below the wall to rise again just in time to
duck once more. We must have looked remarkably silly."
Bernie Hart remembers a time when he was coaching a beauti
ful Hollywood star for her first role in a Broadway play. She
jwas notoriously bad study, and Hart had a very hard time get
ting her ready for the opening in Boston. Two days before zero
hour the worried producer called Hart and said. "Well, has she
learned her lines yet?" Hart replied cheerfully, "Boss, she's
letter perfect." There was a moment's pause and then he added,
"That is, she's learned one letter."
Swifty Morgan, a statistician of great renown, looked up from
the financial page and announced, "It says here that freight car
loadings are going down, but that the sale of Scotch whisky has
gone up. This means only one thing; more people are getting
loaded than freight cars!"
