| WOMAN PILOT SETS OUT
| TO FLY THE PACIFIC
SANTA MONICA, Calif. <*> —
Pilot Betty Miller took off today
on the first leg of a 7,100-mile solo
flight to Brisbane, Australia.
Mrs. Miller, 36, will fly to Oak
land and then on to Hawaii tomor
row.
Mrs. Miller will fly the same
route—in reverse—on which Am
elia Earhart was lost in 1937.
A similar flight, scheduled for
last month, was cancelled when
the Australian government re
fused permission because Mrs. Mil
ler lacks a navigator’s license from
that country. The plane she had
planned to use carried Australian
registration.
But the Piper Apache in which
she will make her flight across the
Pacific is registered to an Ameri
cand and is not subject to Austra
lian navigation regulations.
Mrs. Miller is a senior flight in
structor at a Santa Monica flying
school, where her husband, Chuck,
is chief pilot.

Wrong Door Dept.
WASHINGTON Ofl — In the
news from Washington:
Wrong Door Dept.: Education
had its day at the White House
and it was some day. Elmon Ous
ley, 1963 Teacher of the Year, may
never forget it. One of his com
panions certainly won’t.
In recognition of the honor,
Ousley of Bellevue, Wash., was to
receive from President Kennedy a
framed certificate and a tie clasp.
He got the certificate, but not the
tie clasp which vanished.
Ousley believes it may have got
lost in the wrappings of two big
red Washington apples Ousley’s
wife brought for Caroline Ken
nedy’s pony Macaroni—a present
Kennedy accepted with a remark
that “Macaroni is already too well
treated.”
Instead of the teacher tie clasp,
Ousley — who teaches, speech and
American government at Bellevue
Senior High School—received one
of the President’s PT boat tie
clasps which he hands out as me
mentos to visitors.
After the ceremony, one of the
women in the Ousley party dis
covered she had left her briefcase
behind. She started back for it,
opened a door, and found herself
in the President’s washroom, with
the President.
She reported her politely took
her by the arm and escorted her
out.
