has been living in an oversized
wardrobe in a Brittany field for

AV Wasting §183
Million a 1 oar
For Flying Time
WASHINGTON W — Sen.
Stuart Symington, D-Mo., accused
the Air Force of “wasting” SI83
million this year by paying “pro
ficiency” flying time to 27,000
officers who don’t need to fly.
Of this amount, Symington said,
$71 million is being spent “for
unnecessary flight pay” to Air
Force dentists, lawyers, mathe
maticians, physicists, chemists,
auditors, chaplains and other
specialists trained in non-flying
fields. The other $112 million, he
said, goes to pay for the main
tenance and operation of the air
craft they use.
In a speech in the Senate, Sy
mington, himself a former Sec
tary of the Air Force, declared:
“Many officers receiving fly
ing pay have not actually flown
planes themselves for years. In
such cases, subordinates do the
flying while the officer in ques
tion works or rests in the back
of the plane.”
And he said that a time when
Air Force missions call for in
creasing efficiency in jet aircraft
or in the new field of missiles,
“over 40 per cent of the total
hours flown for proficiency fly
ing last year were in C-47 World
War II cargo type aircraft.”
6,771 NEGROES IN ALASKA
WASHINGTON UP) — The Negro
population of Alaska was 6,771 in
1960, the Census Bureau reported.
No comparative figures were
available for 1950 when it was
not a state.
Alaska Joins IN 011-Con fictions Areas
For Obtaining Lower F reight Rates
Associated Press Special Service
WASHINGTON UP) — Alaska
and Puerto Rico yesterday joined
Hawaii and Guam in pleading for
government help in obtaining
lower ocean freight rates.
Spokesmen for the governors
termed it inequitable for the resi
dents of the non-contiguous areas
of the United States to bear the
entire cost of a national policy
restricting shipping services ex
clusively to non-subsidized Amer
can ships.
Gov. Luis Munoz-Marin esti
mated that the policy is costing
the people of Puerto Rico $10 mil
lion a year more in freight
charges than would apply if
foreign flag ships could be used.
Burke Riley, executive assistant
to Gov. Egan, suggested the gov
ernment provide ship construc
tion and operating subsidies to
carriers in the off-shore domestic
trade on the same basis as now
provided to American lines com
peting with foreign operators in
international trade.
Riley also urged a case study of
the major shipping lines serving
each of the off-shore areas with
a view of developing fair rate
regulating standards, revising re
porting procedures of the carriers,
and requiring orderly vessel re
placement.
Riley said Alaska and the other
off-shore areas are rapidly ap
proaching an economic crisis
largely because of the high cost
of transportation.
“T h e ultimate question is
whether the economies of these
areas shall be allowed to develop
and flourish,” he said.
