FLIGHT ENGINEERS .
(Continued from Page 1)
_
Brown said he had read editorial
comment suggesting “the Presi
dent’s blast against the flight en
gineers was dictated by his desire
,to persuade the business community
—still disturbed by the President’s
action on steel prices — that he
can be as tough with a labor union
as he was with the steel compan
ies.”
Kennedy sharply criticized the
engineers at his news conference
yesterday after government-spon
sored peace talks that had been
going on periodically for nearly
two years ended in a complete
deadlock and a walkout appeared
imminent.
The President said a strike
against the three carriers would
seriously damage the nation’s econ
omy and welfare. He urged the
union to reconsider his proposal
for arbitration by a three-man
board.
A walkout would idle nearly
60,000 domestic and 20,000 over
seas passengers daily.
The dispute has been compli
cated by a long standing feud be
tween the engineers and the Air
Lines Pilots’ Assn, for cockpit jobs.
When the jets came the pilots suc
ceeded in getting a third pilot put
aboard along with the engineer
to make up four-man crews. Three
man crews have now been ruled
sufficient.
The problem then became which
man would be thrown off, a pilot
or engineer. A number of White
House study groups recommended
trimming jet crews to two pilots
and a combined pilot-engineer. The
engineers besides being at odds
with the pilots anyway felt they
would be overwhelmed by the
more numerous pilots.
Senate Committee Acts to
Abolish Passenger Ticket Tax
WASHINGTON — The Sen- 1
ate Finance Committee voted
unanimously yesterday to abolish
the 10 per cent tax on train and
bus passenger tickets at the end of
this month.
Sponsors of the move said they
were trying partimlarly to help
railroads. Many lines are losing
heavily on passenger business.
The provisions were written into
a bill to extend for another year
corporation income and major ex
cise tax rates, most erf them dating
from the Korean War. The levies
bring in a total of $4.3 billion an
nually.
The 10 per cent passenger tax
dates from World War II.

"DO YOU REMEMBER”
In the old days in Nome, back
before TV, movies, radio and juve
nile delinquency, families whiled
away many pleasant evenings in
the home with mother singing to
the children while father accom
panied and swelled with pride.
Do you remember?
In gayer but still nostalgic mo
ments the children would dance
together in close fellowship.
As part of the Midnight Sun
Festival, “Do You Remember,”
will be presented at the school on
Thursday and Friday evenings,
June 21 and 22, at 9 p.m. One of
the more touching scenes depicts
the accordian-playing father (Geo.
Laiblin), the sensitive, loving mo
ther (Bunny Huffer), and the joy
ful, happy children (Dava and
Denise Money, Delores Johanson,
Mike Thompson, Mike O’Connor,
and Donny Young).
This scene may well steal the
show, as it implies, “Do You Re
member?”

REP. THOMAS SAYS
SUBSIDY FOR AIRLINES IN
ALASKA "IS OUT OF LINE"
WASHINGTON OP) — Rep. Al
ber Thomas, (D-Tex.), thinks the
amount of subsidy needed for air
lines operating in Alaska is a little
bit out of line.
Thomas, chairman of a House
Appropriations S u b c o m m i ttee,
made the comment in connection
with a Civil Aeronautics Board re
quest for an estimated $7.8 mil
lion for subsidy payments for car
riers in Alaska in the year starting
July 1.
CAB chairman Alan Boyd said
that figure represented a $1.1 mil
lion reduction in the amount esti
mated for Alaska subsidies in the
current fiscal year.
“Why is it necessary to have so
many lines in Alaska?” Thomas
asked.
Boyd said the primary reason
is lack of highways in Alaska com
parable to those in the other states.
“On the population basis,” said
Thomas, “you have about 250,000
people in Alaska and yet you are
spending 10 or 11 per cent of your
total subsidy money on 11 lines.
“It occurs to me that is a little
bit out of line and through con
solidation and improving services
it ought to be reduced.”
Boyd said the board “has been
working very diligently” to de
crease the number. “We are giving
it our best effort, sir,” he added.
We cannot dictate, however.”
The committee was told that
during the 12 months ended last
August, intra-Alaska air carriers
, served 214,000 passengers.

CAP CADETS REPORT
ON ENCAMPMENT
By Pearl Johnson & June Oman
Saturday, June 9, ended the two
weeks encampment of the Civil
Air Patrol Cadets at Elmendorf
Air Force Base. The encampment
area was huge, consisting of two
large barracks and a well-worn
path to the mess hall.
Training classes and tours oc
cupied a major portion of our time.
Included in the training classes
were: First Aid, Navigation, Gas
Mask Training complete with gas
c h a m b ers, Chemical-Biological
Radiological Warfare, Water andl
Arctic Survival and lessons on
shooting at the indoor firing range.
In the line of tours we visited
Fort Richardson, the FAA Radar
Control Tower, the Elmendorf Fire
Station, a Nike Missile Site, the
flight line and the Dope and Fab
ric Work Shop. Each cadet was
given a H-21, L-19, or L-20 ride and
the outstanding cadets won jet
rides.
Cadets capable of the job were
selected to hold officers’ positions
in coordinating the activities.
An event, enjoyed by the cadets
was a dance in Anchorage where
we were guests of the YMCA. Live
music was provided by the Pastels,
a dance band of the East Anchor
age High School.
On May 30, the cadets took part
in the Memorial Day services at
Fort Richardson. A retreat cere
mony, held outside the Alaska
Command Headquarters Bldg.,
marked the last day of encamp
ment.
On the whole, it was a good en
campment, filled with the excite
ment of meeting new people, many
1 activities, and looking forward to
I new experiences.
