Boeing’s Three-Jet 727
Makes First Test Flight
SEATTLE (jF — The first thrce
jet airliner built in America —
Boeing’s new model 727—made its
initial flight today.
The unconventional - appearing
craft with its three engines grouped
about a butterfly tail took off from
Renton Airport with test pilot
Lewis Wallick, 38. at the controls.
A two-hour flight was scheduled
before a landing at Paine Air
Force Base, north of Seattle, where
further tests will be made.
The Boeing Co. already has or
ders totaling $600 million for 131
of the short-to-medium range air
liners. It’s designed to cruise at
550-600 miles an hour, carry 70
to 144 passengers and operate from
airport with runways down to
5.000 feet.
Deliveries are to begin late this
year for the 727, costing around
$4.25 million each.
The only other three-jet airliner
is the British DeHavilland Trident,
now under flight test.
Ball point pens may come or go,
but we still use up one and a
half billion pencils a year.

DID YOU KNOW?
That, according to the American
Medical Association, the first sign
of frostbite are “pins and needles”
prickly feeling, then numbness,
with the skin turning white or
gray, and later red.
That thawing the frozen tissues
can best be accomplished by get
ting the victim indoors into a
warm room.
That the frozen part should be
treated with gentleness—not rub
bed or massaged.
That rubbing snow or ice water
on the frozen part does more harm
than good by delaying thawing.

Federal Judge Says
Ransom Paid Castro
May Be Illegal
MIAMI Ltt — A federal judge
says the flow of ransom to Fidel
Castro may be illegal, and indi
cates he may take steps to find
out.
U. S. District Judge Emett C.
Choate made his remarks in re
jecting a petitioner’s contention
Friday that shipment of food and
drugs from this country to Cuba
is treason.
While Choate was discussing the
legality of ransom payments, more
than 100 new refugees, including
some with U.S. citizenship, were
reaching Miami by airlift that took
15,000 pounds of ransom to Ha
vana.
Choate gave plaintiff Douglas R.
I Voorhees and three defendants 10
days to submit briefs on whether
Choate has jurisdiction to rule on
Voorhees’ petition to halt continu
ing deliveries of $53 million in
goods as payment for 1,113 Cuba
invasion prisoners Castro freed
last December.
Voorhees, who has tried physi
cally several times to block the
ransom deal, also contends indivi
duals engaged in it violate the
Logan Act that forbids private citi
zens to negotiate with foreign gov
ernments.
Choate said the deal would be a
| clear violation of the act if con
ducted by individuals. But, he said,
“there’s no question the govern
ment’s in it.”
Gov. Ross and Lt. Gov.
Johnson Must Shoulder
Blame For Blocking
Meredith from “Ole Miss”
NEW ORLEANS MV-A federal
appeals court has taken the crim
inal contempt case against Missis
sippi’s governor and lieutenant
governor under study after first
rejecting a plea to let the state
bear the responsibility.
The 5th U. S. Circuit Court of
Appeals gave no hint when it
might rule on the battery of mo
tions introduced in the case.
However, Chief Judge Elbert P.
Tuttle of Atlanta said the court
would not delay its study of the
motions made in behalf of Gov.
Ross Barnett and Lt. Gov. Paul
B. Johnson Jr.
The two have been ordered to
show why they should not be held
in criminal contempt for trying to
block the enrollment of Negro
James Meredith into the Univer
sity of Mississippi.
At the outset of Friday’s hear
ing, the court—with eight of its
nine judges on the bench—made
it clear that Barnett and Johnson
must shoulder any blame for their
acts themselves.
The ruling came when Missis
sippi attorneys asked that the state
be made a party to the case. The
actions of Barnett and Johnson—
who each personally turned Mere
dith back from the Old Miss gates
—“were acts of the state,’’ they
claimed.

Ketchikan People
Take Issue With
Taylor On Liquor
For 19-Year-Olds
KETCHIKAN UP> — Ketchikan
residents, from bar owners to
clergymen took issue with a bill
introduced in the House of Repre
sentatives Friday to allow drink
ing by 19 and 20-year-olds.
Rep. Warren Taylor who sub
mitted the measure, cited drinking
by teen - agers on military bases
and the number of minors con
victed for liquor law violations as
backing for his bill.
District Magistrate Richard B.
Lauber of Ketchikan termed Tay
lor’s reasoning “invalid.”
“If we allow the number of con
victions to influence legislation,
we’re allowing the offenders to
dictate the law,” said the judge.
Lauber, Police Chief T.H. Miller
and the Rev. J. K. Fison, pastor of
the First Methodist Church and
president of the Ketchikan Minis
terial Assn., expressed doubts as
to the maturity of the 19-year-olds.
“I don’t think they can handle
it (liquor) said the police chief.
Miller said that a “drunken teen
ager is harder to handle than an
adult.”
The Rev. Mr. Fison questioned
the maturity of 19-year-olds.
“Is a 19-year-old mature enough
to make a choice?” the clergyman
asked.
“He (Taylor) presents some
sound reasoning for his measure,”
Rev. Fison added. “We will have
to combat it with rational action,
not emotion.”
Capt. Joseph Mazzotta, com
mandant of the Ketchikan Coast
Guard Base, said the 58 under-21
Coast Guardsmen of his command
are not allowed to purchase alco
holic beverages on the base. “We
try to comply with local law,”
Mazzotta said.
The skipper also said that he
would continue to limit sales to
those over 21 even if the law is
changed.
“We would still have a moral
obligation to these men’s parents,”
Mazzotta added.
