Thousands Mourn as Connie Mack Is
Laid to Rest at St. Bridget’s Church
Pan American Airways
Asks Approval for New
Transpacific Route
WASHINGTON, iff)—Pan Am
erican World Airways has asked
the Civil Aeronautics Board to
advise President Eisenhower to
approve a new Pan American
route to Tokyo by way of Port
land, Ore., and Seattle.
The airline urged the board
Friday to advise the President “in
time for Pan American’s DC-7s,
to supply direct West Coast-Ori
ent service on their delivery in
late spring and early summer.
Northwest Airlines, Pan Am’s
competitor in the transpacific
service, now operates a great cir
cle route between the Pacific
Northwest and Japan by way of
Alaska. Pan American operates a
much longer central Pacific route
through Hawaii, and must make
one stop on the way, either at
Honolulu, Wake, Midway or
Guam.
A year ago Eisenhower returned
the CAB’s proposed decision on
transpacific services to the board,
approving most of its recommen
dations but reserving judgment
on proposed denial of Pan Ameri
can’s great circle route applica
tion “pending further study *on
the economic and technical feasi
bility and the military and foreign
policy implications of nonstop
service between the West Coast
and the Orient.”
5,000 WORMS COUNTED
LONDON, Iff)—How many worms
make 5,000?
A local angler suspected his
dealer was counting both ends of
his bait and called in a police
official to check the latest con
signment.
Four somewhat slimy hours
later the official and his helpers
reported “all there.”
PHILADELPHIA, Uft — Connie
Mack was laid to rest, today with
| the blessings of his mother church
| and the silent tears of untold
I thousands.
“Mr. Baseball” was bid a sol
emn farewell in the gray, stone
Roman Catholic edifice which he
attended during a major portion
of his colorful career—St. Bridg
et’s in northwest Philadelphia.
“I am the resurrection and the
life,” chanted the pastor, the Rev.
John A. Cartin, quoting in Latin
from the Gospel according to St.
John. “He who believes in Me,
even if he dies, shall live.”
The vast throng outside the
church in a wind - driven rain
squall, and that which milled
about the funeral home where
Mack’s body lay in state last
night, bore testament to that
gospel. For Connie Mack — bom
Cornelius J. McGillicuddy 93
years ago — still lived in full
measure today in the hearts of
baseball lovers all over the world.
Mack, who died last Wednes
day, was buried in Holy Sepul
chre Cemetery on the northern
fringe of this city where he
helped pioneer baseball from
sandlot fledgling to the nation’s
number one pastime.
The public, whose good - will
Mack so genially courted all his
72 years in baseball, was admitted
to St. Bridget’s Church, as it was
to the viewing, but not in such
numbers, though.

In Highway Program

clusion.

Japan Denies Soviet
Accusation It Is Catching
Too Many Salmon
TOKYO, — Japan today de
nounced Soviet accusations that
it is harvesting too many fish in
Far Eastern waters and threaten
ing destruction of the salmon in
dustry.
“We cannot submit to this uni
lateral claim,” Takezo Shimoda,
chief of the foreign office’s treaty
bureau told the foreign affairs
committee of the lower house.
“Fishing operations on inter
national waters are regulated by
international law and Japanese
fishermen are observing these
regulations,” Shimoda said.
The Russian news agency Tass
said Friday the “capacity of the
Japanese fishing industry” was
responsible for a drop in salmon
reaching spawning grounds up
Russian rivers.
The Japanese Fisheries Board
director said Japan’s catches in
northern waters had reached only
66 percent of the prewar level. He
said all Japanese boats fish at
least 20 mile., oil' Ryssmu shores.
Nine times as much castor oil
is used in industry as for med
icinal purposes.
