Pilot Has New Exploit:
Kills Snake in Airliner
•
LONDON. July 5 MP).—Airline
Cspt. Cameron T. Walker, who
landed a planeload of passengers
safely last year despite a jammed
nose wheel, seems to be making a
habit of escapes from ticklish
situations. This time it involved
a poisonous snake.
Capt. Walker, who hails from
Massapequa, N. Y., killed the
reptile with a jungle knife yes
terday as it slithered across the
forward luggage hold of his air
liner toward the crowded passen
ger cabin. The incident occurred
Just before the New York-to-
London Pan American plane
landed at Shannpn, Ireland.
The snake apparently had es
caped from a crate containing 26
rattlesnakes, copperheads, coral
snakes and some unidentified
varieties being shipped to Dussel
dorf, Germany. All of them were
believed poisonous.
After the wandering snake
was killed, the plane radioed
ahead to London Airport to be

Editor Hits Government
For Secrecy on Vaccine
Br th« Associated Trru
I Public confidence In the Salk
I polio vaccine has been shaken
I by lack of candor on the part
I of the Department of Health,
I Education and Welfare, accord-
I inf to J. Russell Wiggins,
I chairman of the Freedom of
I Information Committee of the
I American Society of Newspaper
I Editors.
Mr. Wiggins, who also is vice
1 president and executive editor
I of the Washington Post and
I Times Herald, told a Mutual
I Broadcasting System radio audi-
I ence:
I “I believe that the Department
I of Health,- Education and Wel

I its confidence regarding any of
I the defects, and difficulties,
ii connected Srith the new vaccine.
| and that consequently when it
I was learned that there were
I some disadvantages in it and
| when defects appeared, it was a
I great shock to public opinion.
I "I believe that this shock could
I have been avoided if greater
I candor had been exercised in
I the earlier stages of the pro-
I gram . . .
I "Generally, I think the de

DAYTONA BEACH. Fla., July
5 (£*). Brown-haired, brown
eyed Barbara Nan Hicks, 22-
year-old model instructor from
Birmingham, Ala., is Miss Dixie
of 1955.
She won the title in competi
' tion with 23 other Southern
beauties at the 10th annual Miss
Dixie Pageant last night.
'j Barbara Nan's vital statistics
are: Chest 35|/ 2 , waist 23,
' Hips 36.
e She said she will use her sl,-

e New York. Her other prizes in

ances and two weeks’ vacation

Runnerup was Joan Faye

g Margaret Anne Haywood, 20, of
Jonesboro, Ark., placed third.
-I Miss Dixie was selected on the

:, Merlo Donovant of Martins

sonality.
recent and spectacular ’ instance
of what he termed suppression of
news in the Federal Government
He mentioned also a long de
lay by the Atomic Energy Com
mission in reporting to the pub
lic on the extent of deadly ra
dioactive fallout from a hydro
gen bomb explosion.
“I believe the long bottling
up of this information delayed
formation of public opinion,” he
said, ’ interferred with the de
velopment of sound defensive
policies and. I think this infor
mation should have been released
much sooner.”
The AEC's report was made
public last February 15. It de
scribed the fallout pattern from
the H-bomb tested in the Pacific
on March 1, 1954.
Mr. Wiggins said some prog
ress has been made over the
years in getting more informa
tion released by Government
agencies, but he said much re
mains to be done, and Added:
“Too frequently, the view is
taken in the executive depart
ments that .he public is not en
titled to know until a decision
has been made, and at this
juncture it is no longer possible
for public opinion to exert its
influence upon the executive
agencies.”
