Supreme Court Upheld Alaskan
 Airplane Case
SETS PRECEDENT FOR TRAY ELERS WHO BECOME
 HURT IN PLANES

WASHINGTON, DC, tP-The Supreme Court recently refused to review the decision of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco which held the term participating in aeronautics" in an insurance policy does not ap- ply to airplane passengers.
 In 1884 Mannow Mover of Jun eau was injured in an accident in plane operated by the Alaska Southern Airways and he sought damages under an accident policy held with the Mutual Benefit, Health and Accident Association of Nebraska, an insurance asso- citation.
 The company defended the suit for payment on the rounds that Mover was injured while 'partic- ipating in aeronautics," and thus by the terms of the policy was exempted from liability.
 The Circuit Court ruled the term, participating in aeronau- tics" an artificial phrase and ann biguous in content"
 "It connotes the science or art of aerial navigation in which the science or art of the passenger does not enter any more than the Pullman passenger participates in operating the railroad" the San Francisco court had said.
