In quieter but just as heroic vein, Lockheed officials and air line executives with millions of dollars at stake are portrayed dealing with a grim crisis with only the safety of the flying pub lic their main concern. Emerging from Serling's 154- page book is a salient fact: in every segment of the aviation in dustryfrom the mechanic on the runway to the executive in his walnut-paneled office is a fanat ical dedication to air safety and a haunting sense of personal tragedy when it fails. In a forward to the book. FAA administrator Najoeb E. Halaby writes: "Our goal is swift, safe passage for all who fly anywhere. ;any time, year in. year out. We are indebted to Mr. Serling for helping us all to understand the perils as well as the great prog ress and prospects of aviation." Halaby also writes: "Mr. Ser ling's sense of the dramatic and his ability to translate the most technical subjects into the King's English should assure this book wide readership outside the avia tion community as well as in."

Sociologists have found! that three-fourths of all divorced persons remarry within live years. Subject Of Debate Thus, most American marri ages endure, happily or other wise. The happiness percentage has been a subject of debate down through the centuries. Author J. P. Marquand said marriage is damnably serious business, particularly around Bos-tun."

Christopher said he would quickly appoint a citizens com mittee to make plans for hous ing, feeding and entertaining the 14,500 delegates, newsmen and others directly connected with the convention who are expected to pour into the city. It will be San Francisco's third major political convention. In 1920 the Democrats met here to nominate James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who sub sequently lost to Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. And in 1956 the Republicans gathered in the same Cow Palace to re-nominate President Eisenhower and vice president Richard M. Nixon. The Cow Palace, which rcsem bles a huge quonsot hut, lies near the southern San Francisco boun dary. 12-15 minutes from down town San Francisco. Since its completion in 1941. it has been the site of championship prize fights, hockey matches, midget auto races and perfor mances by such entertainers as Liberacc and Chubby Checker.

Alter checking the record, as tonished officers complied. Otterness told police he had walked and hitchhiked the 350 miles here from his home to sur render on charges of having no vehicle registration, reck less driving and having no ve hicle operator s license. But police said no warrant had been issued for him when he failed to turn up for his original trial and chances were "one in 10.000" he would have been ar rested.

The av erage age for marriage is around 20 for women and 22 for men i somewhat too soon according to many authorities. The most popu lar age l o r marriage among women is 23 and among men 26- 27.

The territory's famed witch- hunter. Chikanga, has staged a marathon exorcism aimed at lift- curses, banishing evil spirits and robbing witches of their ma gic powers. Chikanga, known throughout the continent as a sure-fire curer of illness caused by wicked spirits, has dedicated himself to the task of freeing Nyasaland of witches. Chikanga, 43, arrived in Blan- tyre nattily decked out in a dark blue suit, white shirt, black shoes and brandishing a fly switch. He looked hurt when .someone called him a witch doctor. We are like European doc tors," he said. "The only differ ence is that our medicine comes from our forefathers' spirits." Sitting regally in the center of circle of devoted student "doc tors," Chikanga unpacked the as sortment of boxes, bottles, gourds and bones with which he treats his patients. He carefully ex- the unfortunately possessed souls who came flocking to him for treatment during his witch-walloping Blantyre visit. "1 make two cuts between the thumb and the index finger on each hand. Then I put a magic potion called 'dekani' on the cuts and the witch's magic goes away. But if he dales to practice ma gic again he will die." added the 'doctor' darkly. Africans are coming in by the hundreds to see the celebrated 'doctor' rout out witches and dis possess them of their magic and free tormented souls of the evil spirits that make them sick the bottles and boxes arc there to trap the spirits. Chikanga is confident he will chalk up quite a few cx-wilches lo add to the thousands he claims he already has dealt with. WILD WINDS IIKCO.VS BEGONIA l A French amateur botanist, Mi die!

But if you arc a bachelor aged 30 there aro less than three chances in four you will ever marry. A 30-ycar-old spinster has only slightly more than one chance in two of ever marry ing. An unmarried woman who is 40 has only one chance in five of finding a husband, but an unmar ried man the same age has a one in three chance. "Two Parly System" in American Medical Associa tion writer, Dr. Stanley R. Dean. described marriage as "probably the first two-party system of gov ernment ever devised." An ideal partnor in this two- party system, Dr. James H. Pe terson, University of Southen California sociologist and marri age counselor said, is "a person who meets one's emotional needs, is within the boundary of one's tcmpermental pattern, who is physically attractive, and who maintains interests that are stim ulating one who has a well de veloped sense of values on which one can depend, and one who has fairly similar cultural-refer ence groups la sociological term meaning similar background)." As for what makes marriages go wrong. Peterson warned: As the age of the individual goes down from 21, the divorce rate goes up. The lower the age, the higher the rate of failure. The higlier the educational level, the lower the rate of di vorce," he adds. "T h e more schooling the fewer the problems. inaw siarirom MAico HEARING GLASSES .
