NEW YORK. Aug. ~ R.-
When you reach for a cocktail
at $4,000 feet, are you q poten-
tial danger to the airplane you're
sitting in?
Representative Lane, Democrat
of Massachusetts,. thinks it's pos
sible. He called last week for a
Federal ban on serving liquor
aboard commercial airliners. de-
claring that drinking in the air
lis "a thoughtless invitation to a
new kind of disaster which, for
tunately, has not yet occurred"
The Air Line Pilots and Stew
ards and StewardesSeS Associa-
lions, Lane said. have asked the
Civil Aeronautics Board to for
bid liquor serving on planes "be-
cause it is a potential nuisance
to passengers and crews alike
and Is o threat to the safety OF
ALL"
The Nations airlines, which
make it a general practice to
serve liquor, think otherwise.
American Airlines. the No. l car
rier, states its policy this way:
Safety of operations is our
primary responsibility and con-
Germ and that will not be COM
promised. We know of no evil
dence which will support any
suggestion that the safety of
operation is diminished by the
limited service of alcoholic bev-
erages which we permit and pro-
vide. The Federal safety regula-
lions are promised on that basis. !"
The airlines say they have def
Unite limits on how much liquor
they'll serve passenger. On
some lines it's two drinks and on
others three. If a passenger has
been obviously affected" by a
drink, he doesn't get any more,
the airlines say.
aside from the safety factor,
there's the fact that galley space
lis limited and necessarily is de-
voted largely too food" one air
line spokesman observes. In ad-
dition, stewardesseS don't have
the time. Serving 60 passengers
with dinner, for instance takes a
lot of work"
Amount Limited
American, United and Trans
World Airlines serve complement
tafy drinks on their de luxe nom
stop coast-to-coast services. This
amounts to a cocktail or two be-
fore dinner. United also serves
free drinks on it's executive"
flights between New York and
Chicago and between Los Angeles
and San Francisco. United and
Western airlines have cham
payne flights" in the West.
Northwest orient airlineS
serves liquor at 81 a drink, and
observes Sunday blue laws posted
by the States it passes over. TWA
makes the same charge on its
Super-C Constellation and Super
C flights. Eastern sells drinks
on its first class flights to Flor
ida and Puerto Rico, with a max
imum of three to a person.
Most of the airlines comment
that they have to offer liquor
because their competitors do.
Crews Restricted
Airline crews are under strict
rules about drinking. They can't
touch liquor within "a hours of
going on duty and can't drink
until they're of duty.
On flights to Hawaii, there Is
free liquor for first class pas
sengers. Northwest offers cock
tails. champagne and liquors on
its Orient runs to accompany a
fiye-course dinner.
Alcoholic beverages are much
more in evidence on transat-
lantic flights. particularly among
foreign carriers. First class pas
sengers get 1t free-as much as
they can handle in most cases
while tourist class passengers
pay modest amount per drink.
On these overseas runs. service

of that year, he rebuked the court for
ignoring precedents to such an extent
as "to shake confidence in the consistency
of decision and leave the courts below on

beginning in 1880. An appraisal of that
career is hardly a task for his contempo-

A Vote for Bad Faith

The 86 members of the House who
voted yesterday to cut the Federal pay
ment to the District from $40 million to
$16 million were not only approving fiscal
chaos for Washington. They were uncon-

have the Federal Government bear its
rightful share of the cost of maintaining
and improving the Nations Capital in the

The fiscal fate of the District and the
future of the congressionaly approved
public works program now rest with the
Senate. Hearings are yet to be held on
that side on the District budget 1t is to
be hoped that local officials will be able
to make more persuasive case there for
reasonable Federal-District fiscal relations
than they apparently were able to do at
the House hearings. 1t should not take
great deal of testimony to convince the
Senate that the House action was wrong
and should be overturned.
