SET DC-6 FIRES
|
Investigation Discloses
Cause Of One Blaze,
CAA Official Says
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — <U.R>—
The cause of at least one of the
two recent Douglas DC-6 fires in
flight was disclosed officially to
day and it was announced that
a number of modifications may
be required before the 52 - pas
qualities,” she related.
Vishinsky’s answer was “And I
i yours.
j Mrs. Pandit, the only woman:
; chief delegate at the UN, has de- j
voted most of her energies at j
this session to problems of trus-!
I teeship. A feeling of drama
raced through the general as
sembly hall when this slim, dark
woman, clad in a flowing gold
arid white sari, walked to the
rostrum to dead eL.que.tly that
Southwest Africa be placed un-!
der trusteeship.
Nehru Is Brother
Mrs. Pandit’s position as head
of a delegation is unique in an
other way. She receives her in
structions on India’s position
from her brother, Pandit Jawa
harlal Nehru, head of the Indian
government.
Mrs. Gertrude Sekaninova, of
Czechoslovakia, the only woman
delegate from eastern Europe,
feels at home in the verbal
wranglings of the political com
mittee, for she practiced law in
Prague before the war. Mrs. Se
kaninova’s lawyer husband was
executed by the Nazis and she
was interned for over two years.
After her liberatoin in April,
1945, this intense intelligent
woman, still very nervous as a
result of her experiences in a
concentration camp, was named
counselor of the Czech ministry
of foreign affairs.
Most of the women delegates
at the UN are gathered around
the oval conference table in the
Social, Humanitarian and Cul
tural Committee.
Clamour gal of the committee
is Senora Amalia De Castillo Le
don. Senora Ledon, probably the
most important woman in offi
cial circles of Mexico, is both a
political expert and a play
wright.
A sophisticated-iooKing Dionne
with gray green eyes, Senora
Ledon could win hands down in
a contest for the best-drsssed
woman of the UN.
Mme. Marie Helene Lefau
cheux of France, a sparkling,
little brunette who has just left
for home, is glad that men and
women work together at the
UN because she feels women
are better off when they steer
clear of the strictly feminine ap
proach.
No Old Maids
There are four former school
teachers on the UN social com
mittee—and not one old ma?d in
the group.
Mrs. Florence Paton of the
United Kingdom, a laborite
member of Parliament and the
wife of an MP, was a history
teacher. During the war she
taught children who remained in
London during the bltiz.
Mrs. Enid Roberts of New
Zealand, a pleasant looking
whitehaired woman, was a
school teacher for a number of
years and initiated the first
adult educational program
among the adults of the Maori
peonle of New Zealand.
The other, two school teachers
in the committee are from the
Near East. Mrs. Badia Afnan,
before she was named alternate
representative for the delegation
of Iraq, was chief inspector of
women’s schools in her country.
Mrs. Alice Cosma of Syria, who
recevied her B S. and M A de
grees from Columbia University,
was principal of girls schools in
Syria for eight years.

senger ptenes return to airline
service.
An industry-government com
mittee said the suction of over
flowing gasoline from a wing
tank into the cabin heating sys
tem caused the fire aboard an
American Airlines DC-6 which
made an emergency landing at
Gallup, N. M., on Nov. 11 with
out injury to the 25 occupants.
The statement, issued by Civil
Aeronautics Administrator M.
P. Wright, said the same trou
ble “probably caused” the fire
which sent a United Air Lines
DC-6 to the ground at Bryce
Canyon, Utah, on Oct. 24 with
a loss of 52 lives.
After the American Airlines
plane’s emergency landing in
New Mexico, all airlines using
the big new four-engine trans
ports suspended them from
service. The action had the ap
proval of the Douglas Aircraft
Co., manufacturer of the plane.
Today’s official statement
confirmed a report on the cause
of the American fire given to
reporters last week by Lt. Col.
Henry T. Myers, pilot of Presi
dent Truman’s personal DC-6,
The Independence. Myers
grounded the Presidential
transport when the airlines
withdrew theirs from service.
He flew The Independence to
Santa Monica, Cal., where the

Douglas Company will make
necessary modifications.
Experts who have been track
ing down the causes of the two
fires represent the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, the
Civil Aeronautics Board, the
airlines using the planes, the
manufacturers and the Air
Lines Pilots Association (AFL).
Wright said “this cooperative
endeavor by all interested
groups will result in the DC-6
returning to service with safety
features added that represent
the best thinking of the coun
try’s aeronautical experts.”
The committee did not esti
mate when the 300 mile an hour
ships would return to the air.
It said besides modiciations to
prevent the “hazard” of g as be
ing drawn into the cabin heater
“still other changes may be re
quired before the plane is re
turned to service.”
BEAKS HAVE SPECIAL USES
Birds have many special
types of beaks. They are used
for chiseling, gleaning, ham
mering, insect eating, scooping,
sewing, seed opening, snapping,
spading, spearing, straining, and
tearing.

NEW BOYS TOWN
SET UP IN OHIO
SMITHVILLE, O. (U.R)—A set
tlement for 200 homeless boys
is taking shape after a year ot
struggle, work and sacrifice by
the boys and community lead
ers.
Patterned after Nebraska's
famed Boys Town, the settle
ment occupies a 127-acre farm
The boys’ village project was
organized in September. 1946.
jwith the Rev. Clarence Kerr as
! its guiding director and towns
people as contributing benefac
tors.
Milk and chickens are being
sold from the farm. A new silo
was erected last month and

downtrodden and suspicious.
Now they are lighthearted and
carefree, but hard-working and
responsible.
