Airlines Told They
Can Boost Profits by
Lowering Freight Rates
MONTREAL </P> The world’s
airlines can boost their profits con
siderably by taking a different ap
proach to air freight business, the
International Civil Aviation Or
ganization said in a report issued
Tuesday.
Measures recommended in the
111 page report included “selective
reductions” in air freight rates,
“vigorous sales promotion" and
cooperative arrangements among
carriers such as pooling and sale
of space to one another.
ICAO, a United Nations agency,
stressed the earnings it claimed
airlines could gain by decreases
in air freight rates.
The report said only a very
small part of world freight is car
ried by air.
But it added: “If only 10 per
cent of the world freight traffic
were to find air freight rates ad
vantageous, the present volume of
air freight traffic would be multi
plied at least 200 times.”
f Churchill Is 88 Today
j LONDON 0P> — Sir Winston
j Churchill launched his 88<h birth -
' day celebration today with a soft
| boiled egg and a glass of cham
pagne.
A lifetime late riser, Britain’s
great wartime leader spent the
morning in bed and read the
newspapers while the front door
bell of his London home kept
ringing and ringing.
Messengers brought stacks of
telegrams from all over the world
and postmen staggered in with
pouches stuffed with anniversary
greetings. Well-wishers called to
sign the visitor’s book.
Extra policemen directed the
heavy traffic in and out of the
quiet dead-end street in which the
statesman has his home.
A member of Churchill’s staff
said they did not expect the old
warrior to go out today “but he
is very well.”

Suicide Threat Tightens
Control Over Nuclear
Weapon Safety System
WASHINGTON An Air
Force sergeant's threat to commit
. suicide by shooting a pistol into
a nuclear bond) helped bring about
regulations to tighten control over
the human element in the nuclear
weapon safety system, the Penta
gon disclosed Thursday.
That incident was described
along with several others which
contributed to the decision to
change rules, but the Pentagon
said none of them could have j
produced a nuclear explosion.
In the case of the sergeant, a j
pistol shot might have set off some I
of the TNT in the trigger median- i
ism. but would not have detonated i
the nuclear charge, a spokesman
said.
In other incidents, missile- in-;
volved had no nuclear warheads :
installed.
The Pentagon said that in 1958
the Air Force sergeant “threaten
ed to fire a pistol at a bomb for
the purposing of committing sui
cide.’- He had access to the bomb
because he was a maintenance man
for special weapons. But the ser
geant “did not complete his threat
ened action,’’ the spokesman said.
Subsequently, it was found the
sergeant had previously undergone
two psychiatric tests.
In another incident, an Inter
continental Ballistic Missile, with
out a warhead, was destroyed by
fire and explosion at Vandenberg
Air Force Base, because a nervous
airman neglected to attach a
ground wire in an electric circuit.
You have two chances in a mil
lion of finding a pearl in an
oyster.
