LOS ANGELES UP — A United
Air Lines DC" carrying 85 pas

a disabled nose wheel.

engine plane took off from Den
ver after earlier stops at Milwau
kee and Cleveland.
Except for a shower of sparks
as the nose wheel’s steel rim
slashed along the concrete run
r*" -
way, the landing was no different
from most.
Stewardess Gayla Powell, said
there was no panic and pas
sengers remained calm. “They
played cards and sang until the
plane started to land,” she said.
All passengers had high praise for
Capt. Langdon’s landing.

THE FAMILY STORE
The Judge Pays Off . . .
LOS ANGELES l# — Margaret
Longenecker told the court she
hadn’t ordered the slacks and,
what’s more, they didn’t fit her.
Millie Kahn, who made the
slacks, disagreed on both counts
and demanded payment.
When someone suggested that
Mrs. Longenecker model the dis
puted garment in court, Superior
Judge Steven S. Weisman threw
up his hands, halted proceedings
and reached for his checkbook.
“For heaven’s sake,” he said.
“Superior Court is no place for
a backyard argument. If you can’t
settle this, I will.”
He handed Mrs. Kahn a check
for $15 in payment for the slacks.
“I’ll donate it to charity,” said
Mrs. Kahn.
“And I’ll donate the slacks to
charity, said Mrs. Longenecker.
“Next case,” said the judge. The
case reached Superior Court on
appeal from Small Claims Court.

Man Shoots 150 Feet of
Film on Denver Air Crash
ST. LOUIS GP — A St. Louis
executive shot 150 feet of movie
film of the Denver airliner crash
which he said yesterday shows
“it was at least 10 minutes be
fore the first fire truck arrived
on the scene.”
Dee Belveal, vice president of
Reardon Co., a paint making
firm, said he grabbed his camera
loaded with 50 feet of film from
a locker, rushed out to the ob
servation platform and started
shooting the crash scene. He used
a telephoto lens, and stopped only
long enough to load another 100
feet of film.
“The helicopter arrived at the
scene and people were jumping
out of the burning plane before
the first fire truck arrived,” Bel
veal said.
“Then it appeared they poured
water on the fire at first, which
only made it worse because it was
an oil fire.
“I’m a pilot myself and if many
other airports aren’t better equip
ped I’m going to stock up on luck
charms.”
