The Canadian Flag . . .

Canadian flag flies above a school
pictured in 203,000 copies of a
textbook already delivered for
use as a third grade reader in
California.
The state superintendent of in
struction Roy E. Simpson, has
asked for an explanation. He also
asked Ginn and Co., publisher of
the textbook, “Finding New
Neighbors,” how it intends to cor
rect the error.

books from its Canadian edition.

EXPERT REPAIRS
U.S. Must Expect
Retaliation If Restrictions
Are Put on Foreign Flights
WASHINGTON UPl — A study
prepared for Scandinavian Air
lines System (SAS) said today if
the United States starts restrict
ing the schedules of foreign air
lines, “retaliation must be expect
ed in return.”
The study, prepared by avia
tion consultant Frederic P. Kim
ball of Westport, Conn., and dis
tributed widely by SAS, also as
serted a claim for airlines in Eu
rope to:
1. To carry passengers across
the Atlantic directly to any in
terior U.S. city where interna
tional traffic is sufficient to sup
port international service.
“A passenger traveling from
Dallas to Paris is an internation
al passenger all the way,” the re
port said. “He should not be forced
to stop in New York to change to
an international airline at that
point in order to protect the do
mestic market between Dallas and
New York.”
2. Carry trans-Atlantic traffic
through their home countries, to
and from other countries.
“When SAS carries a passenger
from New York to Rome through
Copenhagen it does so only as a
result of the passenger’s free
choice,” the study said.
The Air Transport Assn., repre
senting the U.S. airlines, says
many European airlines do not
observe agreements to restrict
themselves primarily to traffic be
tween their home country and the
United States.
The Civil Aeronautics Board is
investigating the possibility of
forcing adherence to the agree
ments by restricting the fer
quency or capacity of foreign air
line flights.
Quite Surpised . . .

Motorist Sam Brook’s car bump
ed a parked auto yesterday as he
backed up to leave a parking
space.

toward his home.

rapped on his door and informed
him he had: Hooked the bumper
of the car behind him and towed
it five blocks. The car broke free
in a busy intersection, jumped
the curb and rolled onto the court
house lawn narrowly missing
parking meters, trees and parked
cars.
Brooks was quite surprised. So
were police. They couldn’t find
where Brooks had violated any
traffic ordinance.
