wings, ripping open the roof and
throwing the injured occupants
into the snow in 30 below zero
temperature.
The nearest outpost was Ches
terfield Inlet, 18 miles away, but
Mounted Police Constable Len

patrol by dogsled along the coast.
He spotted the plane 30 minutes
after the crash.

Pan Am Denied Right To
Serve Seattle, Portland
•
On Great Circle Route
WASHINGTON, UFt— President
Eisenhower’s affirmation of a de
cision by the CAB to deny Pan
American World Airways the
right to serve Seattle and Port
land on its “Great Circle” route
brought mixed reactions today
from the affected carriers.
The CAB said the route would
have duplicated service which
Northwest Airlines now is author
ized to perform.
In New York, President Donald
Nyrop of NWA issued a state
ment saying “We are extremely
pleased that President Eisenhow
er has reaffirmed his decision of
Aug. 2 maintaining competition
in the North Pacific over sep
arate routings.”
In Seattle, E. E. Swofford, Pan
Am’s regional director, said the
carrier is “quite disappointed at
the President’s decision further
to postpone competitive air ser
vice between the Pacific North
west and Tokyo via the short,
great circle route.”
Swofford declared “impartial
figures submitted to the CAB
demonstrate conclusively that
traffic across the North Pacific
has expanded to the point where
neither Northwest nor Pan Am
erican would require any federal
subsidy if Pan Am were granted
traffic rights at Portland and
Seattle.”

Down Time
A look at the personnel record
of industrial plants will show th*
an enormous amount of disabilit
and loss of time can be traced di
rectly to the common cold.
The absentee problem is partic
ularly critical at an industrial
plant doing important military re
search, as does the Aerojet-Gen
eral Corporation in Sacramento,
Ca,,vf
Since there is
no cure for the
common cold, Dr.
A. L. Kuntz,
Aerojet-General’s
plant physician,
studied the possi
bility of lessening
absenteeism by re
lieving cold symp
toms. In this way, perhaps, em
ployees could be kept comfortable
and “in working condition” despite
their colds.
Altogether 724 employees at
both indoor and outdoor jobs were
studied. When these workers came
down with a common cold, they
were given Coryban, a combina
tion of tested drugs specifically
aimed a* '”'M symptoms. The pa
tlei.-s id two capsules of
Coryban at the onset, followed by
one capsule every four hours.
Dr. Kuntz found that 83 per
cent of the workers were helped
by this course of treatment. Most
of the employees said they felt
much better ar.d any remaining
symptoms did not interfere with
their jobs. Others who obtained
less marked relief nevertheless
felt they would not have been able
to work without the medication.
Such symptomatic relief, de
scribed by Dr. Kuntz as “excel
lent,” will give the country’s fac
tories, schools and businesses
many added days of progress that
mighf been spent — uncom
fortably and unprofitable’—in bed.

until 1904 to establish a dental
practice in New? York.

Speaker Rayburn Favors Legislation;
Giving Vice President Only Temporary
Powers In Case President Incapacitated
WASHINGTON, UP) — House
Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex) said
yesterday he favors legislation to
allow a vice president, in case of
the disability of a president, to
take over temporarily the powers
and duties of the chief executive.
Raybyrn told newsmen this
should be done by a simple law.
j Not a constitutional amendment.
He said a commission should be
provided to determine, if neces
sary, whether a president actual
ly is unable to perform his func
| tion.
It was the first time the Speak
er, who long opposed any change
in the present legal status, had
publicly accepted the idea of
presidential disability legislation.
The chances of enactment of
such legislation, therefore, got a
considerable boost. However, a
special House subcommittee try
ing to draft a bill has disagreed
on whether constitutional amend
ment is needed.
Republicans on the subcommit
tee are holding out for such an
amendment, as was proposed last
year by President Eisenhower^
Rayburn said at his news con
ference that he would support
legislation under which the vicb
president, if he were called upon
to act, would take a limited oath
of office specifying he was exer
cising the powers and duties of
the presidency only during the
disability of the president.
