WASHINGTON, UD—By March
16, all pilots — private or com
mercial — must know how to fly
by instruments.
The new regulation was an
nounced by the Federal Aviation
Agency Friday. The reason:
there have been too many fatal
accidents lately involving light
planes and amateur pilots.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association, which represents
many private pilots, supported
the action, which is one step in
the FAA program to reduce the
number of accidents.
Airline pilots, who already
must know instrument flying, are
not affected by the new regula
tion.
The new rules, effective next
March 16, originally were pro
posed in April, 1958, and hlfve
been ordered into effect after re
view by all segments of the Avia
tion industry. The Aircraft Own
ers and Pilots Association, which
represents a large number of pri
vate pilots, said it supported the
new regulations.
These requirements are set out:
1. Commercial pilots — those
who carry passengers for hire or
operate company aircraft — must
have at least 10 hours of flight
instruction using instruments;
demonstrate ability to control the
plane manually while using in
struments, and perform for an ex
aminer a planned cross-country
flight.
2. Private pilots must have dual
instruction in the basic control of
aircraft by the use of instruments
and demonstrate ability to control
the plane manually in a simulated
loss of visual contact with the
ground during flight.
The FAA said no specific per
iod of instruction was ordered
for private pilots and that the
length of training will depend
entirely on ability of the indi
vidual pilot to reach the required
proficiency.

‘Nooks’ Opening Scars
From Oldsters’ Teeth
A collection of players from
yesteryear soundly spanked a
game but badly out - manned
Nome High School Nanook bas
ketball team last Friday night.
Led by "ancient” Harold Bell,
Chuck Fagerstrom, Buzzy Swan
berg, and Gary Longley, the old
sters had just about everything
their own way as they two-pla
tooned the younger High School
stars into submission.
Newcomers Ronnie Locke, Rod
Boucher, Jim Bell, and “Boone”
Oman along with veterans Fred
Kungesuk and Cliff Steele carried
the load for the Schoolers. Final
score Alumni 64, Nanooks 17.
Fans were treated to a little
halftime entertainment by the
High School girls who performed
some gymnastics under the lead
ership of Mina Tungwenuk and
Edna Johnsen. Music was pro
vided by the High School Band
led by Lee Barber.
In the second game of the eve
ning the Merchants outclassed a
rugged, scrappy Independent
team 77-32.
The fracas started out on even
terms and remained that way un
til the older “Indys” ran out of
gas. Standouts for the losers were
Gerald McCray and Bill Wood
cock with 11 and 7 respectively.
For the Merchants Buzzy Swan
berg racked up 23 and Lincoln
Trigg was not far behind with 17.

Was 4Too Busy
For Worry’
ALAMAGORDO, N. M., UR —
Fiery-haired Joe Kittinger says
his 15-mile parachute jump didn’t
scare him — he was too busy to
worry.
Kittinger, a jet jockey turned
space-age experimenter — with
himself as a guinea pig — stepped
out of a bucket-like balloon gon
dola at 76,400 feet over White
Sands missile range last week.
Protected from 104-below-zero
cold, he plummeted at nearly 450
miles an hour for about three
minutes. Then, still 12,000 feet
high, a parachute automatically
opened, and he drifted the rest of
the way to the desert in six more
minutes.
It was another part of his con
tinuing effort to help develop
equipment to bring men back
alive from emergencies on the
edge of space.
“I didn’t have time to worry,”
the well-knit, 155-pounder said.
“I had so many things to do.
There was a research job. I
was trying to get data we didn’t
have already.”
The Air Force captain said he
kept track of the time and alti
tude “and physiological reac
tions,” on which he did not
elaborate.
He said his pressure suit,
equipped with an oxygen system,
kept him comfortable “going up
and coming down.”
