Beached Whale Finally
Is City Responsibility
BRIGANTINE, N. J., tR — A
whale found itself caught between j
a uir,'~dic{,ional dispute and the'
deep /blue sea. So, Monday, it died. |
The 1,000-pound mammal was
washed ashore here during the
weekend. There was a gash in its
side, apparently from a boat’s
propeller.
Coast Guard and city officials
debated whose job it was to get
the whale off the beach. Mean
while, the animal wheezed at
Oceanside.
Finally, the New York Aquar
ium said it would give the whale
a home. But the whale couldn’t
wait. About five minutes before an
aquarium truck arrived, the
whale passed on to happier swim
ming grounds.
In death, the whale poses no
problem at all. City authorities,
deciding it is their burden after
all, have agreed to dispose of the
carcass.

PNA Refuses to Allow Hostesses Cover
Frigid Fibula On Far Northern Flights
By BETTY HOPPER
SEATTLE, iff) — It’s “Nay” for
the knees of some Alaskan stew
ardesses who let it be known last
month they were pretty frosted
about not being allowed to wear
ski pants on intra-Alaskan flights.
No action will be taken before
the end of this winter’s runs —
the federal mediator brought into
the case is in Florida — far re
moved from icy tundra and frigid
fibula.
The request to switch from ny
lons to woolens came to light De
cember 12 when the stewardesses
and Pacific Northern Airlines held
talks here concerning a new con
tract.
There was much heated discus
sion concerning the relative mer
its of the materials when stacked
up against the nippy weather en
countered on some of PNA’s north
ern landing fields.
Taking note of the publicity
given the case of the cold calves,
John A. Cunningham, vice presi
dent in charge of PNA operations,
pointed out yesterday that all the
company planes are heated.
And, he added, the company is
Inquest Ordered In
Fatal Cordova Stabbing
CORDOVA, UPi — A coroner’s
inquest was scheduled in the stab
bing death of Harry Woods, 28.
William Bailey, U. S. Deputy
Marshal, said the fatal stabbing
occurred Sunday evening at
Mummy Island, 10 miles south of
Cordova.
Sam Christensen, 47, was being
held in connection with the case.
now making a study of tempera
tures at the cities where it calls.'
The coldest city, the company
says, is King Salmon, where the
January average is a balmy three
above zero.
The airlines contends that ski
pants is a minor issue with the
union. But the change from minor
to major rests in the point of
view.
Rosemarie Flisek of the Stew
ardesses’ negotiating committee
admits there are other issues like
wages and hours they hope to
work out when the mediator re
turns next month. But, she insists,
ski pants are a major item.
It isn’t only a question of knock
ing knees, the stewardesses say.
There is the safety factor. If they
crashed “our legs would freeze
stiff,” the girls contend.
Marilyn Batey, chairman of
Council 17 of the Airline Steward
esses Association, wasn’t available
for comment. She’s on a vacation
at Sun Valley.
Friends say she hasn’t worn a
pair of nylons since she got there.
