PAA Asks CAB Remove
Wien Route Transfer
From Air Service Case
SEATTLE — Pan American
World Airways said Thursday it
has asked the Civil Aeronautics
Board to remove a route transfer
agreement with Wien Airlines from
the Pacific Northwest-Alaska Air
Service Case.
The agreement provides for
transfer of Pan American's route
between Fairbanks and Juneau, via
Whitehorse, to Wien Alaska.
A Pan American spokesman
said the route transfer was made
part of the air service case on
motion of Alaska Airlines, and that
as a result there might be long
delay before it can be put into
effect.
"There is urgent need for im
mediate disposition of the certifi
' cate transfer case permitting the
two carriers to render better service
to the people of Alaska,” Pan
American said in its petition to
the CAB.
Wien would operate smaller
F-27 prop-jet planes on the Fair
banks-Juneau route and be able
to offer more frequent service than
PAA with its Boeing 707 Inter
i continentals, the spokesman said.

“Thalidomide Baby"
Dies From Asphixia
CHESTERFIELD, England M*
A coroner ruled Thursday that the
death of a 5-month-old “thalido
mide baby" was caused by asphxia
and said thalidomide, a sedative,
was the cause.
Dr. Maurice Lecutier, a medical
expert, testified at an inquest that
the mother took thalidomide early
in her prenanev and that the child
was born limbless. But the death,
he said, was caused by the infant
inhaling food from its stomach.
There was a marked narrowing of
the small intestine and as a result
regurgitation of food and milk oc
curred almost instantly.
The baby, Wilfred Shaw, died
last week. It was the first child
of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Shaw of
Eckington, Derbyshire.
According to one medical author
ity, R. W. Smithells, of Alder Hey
Children’s Hospital at Liverpool,
approximately 1,200 thalidomide
babies were born in England and
Wales in the period from January
1960 to August 1962. He stated
that about 600 are still alive.
Smithell’s statement was made
in a letter to British Medical Asso
ciation’s journal on July 21.
The Ministry of Health said it
had no valid figures on the num
ber of thalidomide babies and that
estimates ranged from 300 to 1,400.
! The Ministry said that prior to the
j introduction of thalidomide, 100
i to 200 cases of congenitally mal
; formed babies were reported per
i year.

line, and probably chrysoberyl. The
ore is associated with brown wea
thering dikes striking generally
north 80 degrees east. The best ore
found to date lies west of Tin
Creek at an altitude of about 700
feet.
The discovery of beryllium ore
at widely scattered localities in a
zone trending about north 80 de
grees to 85 degrees east across the
Lost River area for more than six
miles, and intruded by numerous
dikes and plugs, indicates that
ground favorable for prospecting
probably exists elsewhere other
than in areas investigated to date
by the Geological Survey.
A map showing the location of
the new area has been posted in
the Nome Post Office where it is
available for public inspection.
The United States imports over
90 per cent of its beryllium from
South America and Africa and this
discovery, announced today on
public domain is exciting news to
the scientific world as there is a
short supply of this strategic metal
which is used in reactors and is im
portant in the nose cones of ballis
tic missiles.
The discovery is of very high
grade and is believed to be un
equalled any where in the world.

Military Significance
Not Evident In Tandem
Orbit Flight by Russians
WASHINGTON (P — A Defense
Department spokesman said Thurs
day there was nothing in the So
viet tandem satellite flight of two
cosmonauts which had not been
anticipated and that at this time
the military significance is not
evident.
He added that he did not say
flatly that there is no military
significance, but that presently “we
do not see what it is.”
Present military programs of the
United States, including a space
program with an annual spending
rate of $1.5 billion, have taken into
account such things as the pro
longed orbiting of the two men in\
two capsules by the Russians, he
said.
Answering questions by news
men, the spokesman said the Soviet
flights of manned satellites in al
most identical orbits seemed to
indicate “they are not flubbing
around in their launchings.” He
said too that medical information
on how men lived and operated in
space for extended periods could
have military importance.
From civilian space officials have
come confident predictions that
despite the record-smashing Rus
sian achievements the first man
on the moon will be an American.
And from President Kennedy a
salute to the Russians.
The Japanese have had more
success in keeping down prices.
Phone calls are three cents, bus
fares in Tokyo are four cents. And
you can get a full-course steak
dinner aboard a crack express train
for about $1.35.
