Chico Marx Is Dead at 70
HOLLYWOOD tW—Chico Marx,
oldest member of the famed Marx
Brothers who transformed low
comedy into high art, died today
at his home. He was 70.
He had been hospitalized last
May with what was first described
as a chest ailment.
Chico and his brothers—Grou
cho, Harpo, Zeppo and Gummo—
created a brand of comedy all
their own — wildly improbable,
joyously irreverent, supremely il
logical and almost painfully fun
ny to low brows and intellectuals,
alike.
Their zany antics, with sugges
tive winks, leers, whistles and
wisecracks, gave vaudeville and
movie fans chuckles and belly
laughs for nearly a half century.

CAB Suspends Pan Am’s
Proposal to Lower Fare
Between Seattle-Fairbanks
WASHINGTON UR — The Civil
Aeronautics Board has suspended
a proposal of Pan American
World Airways to reduce jet
fares between Seattle and Fair
banks.
Commenting also that certain
advertising of Seattle-Fairbanks
service by Alaska Airlines “ap- j
pears to toe an unfair practice
and method of competition,” the
board ordered an investigation of
the reasonableness of air fares
between the two cities.
Pan American had proposed to
reduce its deluxe class jet fare
from $125 to $99, and its jet tour
ist fare from $99 to $90, and to
redesignate these services as first
class and economy class, respec
tively.
Alaska Airlines had filed a com
plaint that the fares were un
economic, and that the $9 differ
ential between the two fare levels
violated the CAB policy that
coach fares shall not exceed 75
per cent of the first class fare.
Alaska has proposed to reduce
its fare f«r the one class of serv
ice it operates from $99 to $90.
The CAB has not yet acted on
Alaska’s proposal.
■Pan American did not argue
that the reduced fares would be
economic or desirable as that
which Alaska has charged for its
Convair 880 single-class jet serv
ice.

pector and miner of the Kouga

U.S. Navy Double
Reds Have Fastest
Nuclear Sub Fleet
WASHINGTON UP> — “We don’t
believe It” was the reaction yes
terday oi a top Navy anti-sub
marine warfare authority to a So
viet claim that the Soviet Union
has the world’s fastest fleet of
quclear submarines.
The authority, who did not want
to be quoted by name, said the
Navy thinks the Soviets have a
small fleet of nuclear submarines.
But he added: “If they have a
submarine up to the state of the
Nautilus we’d be surprised.”
The Nautilus was the first nu
clear submarine. It was commis
sioned about seven years ago end
the Navy since has involved more
advanced models.
The U.S. fleet now has 14 nu
clear attack submarines. A 15th
will be commissioned shortly.
Thirteen others are in various
stages of construction. Also with
the fleet is a nuclear submarine
armed with 500-mile range Regu
lus guided missiles.
An increasingly important ele
ment of U.S. striking power is
the Polaris submarine, capable of
firing atomic-tipped rockets over
1,200 miles. Six of these are at
sea or close to combat readiness.
Thirteen more either have been
launched or are being built.
The Navy has conceded the So
viets the capability to build nu
clear submarines, but has not re
ported, sighting any.
One authority estimated the So
viets are between seven and eight
years behind the United States—
in what he called a rudimentary
state of the art. _
Man seems to hate himself more
than he does his brother. Despite
the widespread increase in vio
lent crimes, statistics show twice
as many people committ suicide
as are murdered.
