PHILADELPHIA POLITICS
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The
Rev. Dr. Daniel A. Poling was
chosen Republican candidate for
Mayor of Philadelphia today,
but his easy victory was less of
a surprise in the Pennsylvania
primary than the nomination by
Democrats of Michael A. Mus
manno for the state Supreme
Court.

Grover C. Ladner, 65, who had
the backing of nearly all the
state’s Democratic leaders. %
Musmanno, a Pittsburgh judge,
had also achieved national prom

western Pennsylvania commun

The result of the Supreme
Court contest, in which nomina
tion meant election, drew at
tention from GOP mayoralty
contest in Philadelphia, which
had been billed as the key con
test in Tuesday’s primary.

BRITISH BOMBER FLIES
OVER NORTH POLE
FAIRBANKS (AP) — The ten
crewmen of a British bomber
stretched their air legs today
after a casual hop over the top
of the world from Iceland to
Fairbanks.
It took the four-engined bomb
er 13 hours and 54 minutes to
go over the North Pole to Fair
banks from the takeoff point at
Keflavik, Iceland, a 3,558-mile
jaunt.
“It was a beautiful day at the
North Pole” and a “jolly good
flight,” Wing Cmdr. R. T. Frog
ley commented briskly after
arriving here through “typical
English weather” in an instru
ment landing at 9:54 a.m. yester
day.
Today the 10-man party, plus
a Reuters reporter, Peter Jack
son, who joined the expedition
the last minut in Iceland, was
sightseeing. The town of Fair
banks, nearby airbases and gold
mining operations were to be
inspected.
Them tomorrow at 8 a. m. they
plan to fiy the plane tiie 4,128
miles back to Man by, England.
The return flight will be via
the Polar regions, but not neces
sarily over the Pole again, Frog
ley said.
He called the trip merely a
training flight and passed over
questions on whether it had mili
tary significance.
The Aries bomber has no gun
turrets and has extra gas tanks
for long range flying. It is a
modified version of the British
Lincoln. An earlier Lincoln mo
del skipped over the Pole to
land at Ladd Air Force Base
near here in 1944. The Frogley
hop wound up at Eielson Air
Force Base, 28 miles from here.

tempt of the Senate.

counts, Adonis on lb, and Erick
son on 74.
The maximum penalty on each
count is a year in prison and a
