Church Convention
Upholds ‘Right to Smoke’
ST. tiOUIS, i/Pi — The question
of smoking came up at the Inter
national Convention of Christian
Churches.
“But not as a moral issue,”
ruled the Rev. Robert W. Burns
of Atlanta, the convention parlia
mentarian, Thursday.
Some of the 201 members of
the committee on recommenda
tions — ministers and laymen —
asked for a iban on smoking at
committee sessions. The meetings
have been almost continuous since
Thursday morning. The objectors
said they didn’t like to end the
day reeking of smoke.
Smokers and nonsmokers who
believe in freedom to smoke,
joined forces and beat the ban
67-56. Still, there was very little
smoking.

Alaska Yo-Yo Reduces
Boredom For Patrolman
BELLEVUE, Wash., UP) — Pa
trolman Frank Anderson told a
Civil Service Commission hearing
Wednesday that his chief once
raked him over the coals for play
ing a yo-yo on Main Street while
in uniform.
He did it, he told the hearing
into the operation of the local
police force, because he was
bored. “Those Alaskan yo-yo’s are
a real challenge,” the FBI
trained officer said.
Don Follett, a member of the
Bellevue Civil Service Commis
sion volunteered the information
that an Alaskan yo-yo consists of
counter-rotating weights on a
string or piece of sinew. It is
believed to have originated as an
Aleut children’s toy.

Deepfreeze Supply
Plane Hit
Unseen Mountain
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zeal
and, LSI — The 13 Americans on
a Globemaster transport plane
had no warning when they
plowed into an Antarctic hillside,
killing six of them, the aircraft
commander said Saturday.
“One moment I was talking by
radio to Cape Hallett,” Major
George Bone said. “The next
thing I remember, I was hanging
upside down in my straps and
the copilot was saying to me, ‘are
you all right, boss?’ ’’
Bone and the other six sur
vivors told of a day spent in the
plane wreckage before they were
rescued Friday by a helicopter
from the crash scene.
They were flown from Cape
Hallett to the main U. S. Antarc
tic base at McMurdo Sound, and
then brought Saturday to Christ
church, the supply base for Amer
ican operations in Antarctica.
Two of the survivors were in
jured, one seriously.
The huge four-engine plane
was on a flight to deliver supplies
from Christchurch to Antarctic
stations when it crashed.
Bone said the plane “hit a
rock that did not show up on our
radar.” The plane broke into
three pieces.
The survivors used the tail sec
tion for shelter. They did not
ave survival tents or stoves.
They burned sawed timber in
the plane’s toilet, but it was so
cold they could not get their
hands warm.
Thursday night a blizzard cov
ered the scene with snow. The
men had to struggle 100 feet
through it in a biting wind to get
their emergency radio set away
from interference caused by the
fuselage.
“We saw a ground rescue par
ty’s lights in the distance during
he nighN and at dawn a search
ing Globemaster circled us,” Bone
said.
The rugged country prevented
the ground party from reaching
the wreck through the blizzard,
nd the Gobemaster was too big
to land.
Finally, a timely clearing in
the weather allowed the helicop
ter to take the survivors out.
