BIRD RAISES HAVOC IN AIRLINE OFFICE
SEATTLE— Occasional severe
weather, equipment shortages,
and other shortages, and other
-problems may vex airline manag
ers in the Pacific Northwest from
time to time—but they don’t have
to cope with hombills.
A small, female, concave horn
bill, a bird with a bill like a pick
axe, recently conducted a two-day
reign of terror in Pan American
World Airways office at Bangkok,
Thailand, according to reports fil
tering across the ocean from a
nerve - shattered station manager
to his more fortunate fellcrw-em
ployees on this side of the Pacific.
His report says that when the
lady hornbill arrived, it had all
the outward appearance of a rou
! tine air shipment. The bird was
housed in a wooden cage, with
metal bars over one open side.
That night, the bird managed
j to jiggle the cage next to some
•
other packages, which were torn
to bits and shreds.
“Apparently,” the report con
tinues, “she consumed a quantity
of silver earrings. Hombills eat
anything.”
Next night, the bird was placed
carefully in the middle of the car
go room, well away from any
thing else. In the morning, when
the crew arrived to open up, they
discovered that the hornbill had
moved its cage clear across the
floor by lunging against the bars
and had succeeded in chopping a
large hole in the office wall, ply
ing its beak like a .jackhammer,
through the bars.
When one of Pan American’s
round-the-world clippers arrived
to pick up the creature, the flight
crew was warned to “Keep an
eye on this (censored)—she’ll bore
a hole through the side of the
plane if you turn your back.”

Belgium s King Baudouin
Will Not Attend Funeral
j Of King George VI
' BRUSSELS, Belgium, (/P)—'The
Social Christian government of
Premier Jean van Houtte was de
feated in a vote in parliament
i Tuesday over King Baudouin’s
I decision not to attend personally
the funeral of King George VI of
Britain.
Young King Baudouin has dep
utized his 17-year-old brother,
Prince Albert, to attend the Brit
ish king’s funeral.
One explanation is that Bau- j
douin did not want to go himself
because the Prince of Wales, now
the Duke of Windsor, instead of j
King George V, attended funeral
services for Belgium King Albert
in 1934. Another explanation was
that Baudouin resents British crit
icism of his father, the abdicated
Leopold, for surrendering to the
Germans in 1940.
STEWARDESS CHORES

that the average stewardess walks
133 miles up and down airplane
aisles during a year, handles 386
children and pours 5,833 cups of
coffee.

Meeting to Settle
Future Of
Newark Airport
ELIZABETH, N.J., (/P)-—Nerve
shattered Elizabeth residents —
numbed and bewildered after
three major air catastrophes here
—riveted their attention Tuesday
on a meeting to determine New
ark Airport’s future.
The sprawling and once-bus
tling airport, shuttered since yes
terday’s crash of a National Air
lines plane that snuffed out 51
lives, now is the scene of ghost
like silence.
It’s future hangs in the balance
and was discussed in New York
Tuesday a* a meeting between the
Port of New York Authority and
officials of 17 airlines. Gov. Al
fred E. Driscoll of New Jersey
and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York were advised of the
session. The Port Authority has
operated the $53,000,000 field
since 1947.
Wary local residents, terrified
and furious because of the three
crashes within less than two
months, wondered whether the
close-down order would last.
The death toll from the crash
Monday of the four-engined DC-6
stands at 31. This brought the
combined death toll of the three
tragedies to 117.
