Godfrey Facing Charge
Of Buzzing Big AirIiner
BY the Associated Press

Arthur Godfrey. accused once
again of an air safety infrac-
tion, says emphatically that he
lis innocent of any misbenavior.
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration said it is investigating
a formal complaint that Mr..
Godfrey's plane passed far too
close" to an Ozark Airlines plane
after taking of from Chicago's
Midway Airport last Wednesday.
Mr.. Godfrey denied it.
"The only variation from Gus
tomary flying practice in that
incident near Chicago last
Wednesday was that i dipped
my wings in salute at the other
plane" the radio and television
entertainer told a reporter.
"As I passed him rolled my
wings back and forth the way
we used to do in the old days
as a greeting.
There was absolutely no
danger of collision"
In a written complaint filed
with the CAA. the pilot and CO.
pilot of the Ozark twin-engined
DC-3 said that a plane over
took them shortly after departure
from the airport and made a left
turn too close across their course
that they had to reduce speed to
avoid the planes propwash.
The CAA identified the plane
as Mr.. Godfrey's plushly out
fitted blue and white executive
type DC-3. 1t said it is investi-
eating to determine whether
there has been any violation Of
flight rules.
Mr.. Godfrey still recalls with
anguish the six-month suspen-
sion imposed upon him by the
ICAA for buzzing the Teterboro.

In a telephone call from New
York Mr.. Godfrey said he res

Although none Of the other

conducted by the Air Force at
the Stead base near Reno, New,
Navy airmen. Marines and Army
GIs all get instruction in es-
cape, evasion and POW be-

And some Of this instruction
is as realistic as the contro-
versial courses given at Stead,
which lately have been the Sub

For its aviators, the Navy
stages a joint exercise. called

Briefed in POW Conduct
According to the official Naval
Aviation News, this Is how it
goes:
Before the forced bailing out
over enemy territory" the Navy
evaders were instructed in map
reading, day and night ground
navigation and route planning.
They were briefed on POW con-
duct and on Navy regulations
and the Geneva Convention con-
corning prisoners Of war.
After instruction in such things
as scouting. raft building, con-
cealment. sharing game and fire
making. the men were put
through "day and night forced
marches in the densely wooded
swampy area" around the camp.

and then went on to prove it:
Immediately upon being cap

and water bottle. Barefooted,
he was marched miles to the ag-
gressor outpost. Once there, he

students at it's so-called torture
school here are not manhandled.
nevertheless today is consider

type sweat boxes and humilia-
ting interrogations.
The hard survival-if captured
course will be continued.
But the tough treatment of
those students captured" after
being pushed from the back of

Plumas National Forest in Cali
fornia probably will be discon-
tinued and mere demonstrations
by instructors given instead.
Col. Burton E. Mckenzie, who
took over command of this here
tofore super-secret installation
only two months ago, made this
comment after a visit of re-
porters who were invited to see
how the Air Force is training
personnel, who might someday
become war prisoners:
In view of the new code (for
war prisoners recently promul-
gated by President Eisenhower
and the publicity, I am seriously
considering modifying the train
ing program to the extent of
making 1t all demonstration

Earlier. Col. McKenzie's staff
had carefully and repeatedly
explained that only q very small

aircrew personnel who have
attended the school in the last
five years actually have taken
part In the rigorous "interroga-
ton" by instructors who act
somewhat like the hardened Red
war prisoner questioners in
Korea.
1t was emphasized that only
those who volunteered for the
interrogation process went
through with it. And it was
added that a captive" could
call it quits anytime he felt
like 1t and that he could refuse
to enter any of the Communist
invented contraptions designed
to break prisoner emotionally
and physically.
These included a vertical sweat
box where the pain comes while

a space too small to sit, lie or
stand. Then there is the tight

spent days and months ten feet
underground in water. Reporters

Moscow where he agreed to es-
Itablish diplomatic relations be-
tween West Germany and the
Soviet Union.
On the Soviet promise to re-
turn German war prisoners-of
prime Importance to the Ger
man people-Mr. Adenauer said:
Premier Bulganin told me
that even before I arrived in
Bonn, action to return the Ger
imam war prisoners would already
be started.
"Bulganin. as well as Khrush-
Ichev (the Communist Party
Iboss). further declared that il
other Germans are still held in
the Soviet Union. we can submit
la list of their names.
They will then try to find
them"
Hopes for Releases
Mr.. Adenauer proudly told
hundreds of enthusiastic West
Germans at the Bonn-Cologne
airport:
I'VE can therefore hope that
the German war prisoners and
all others still held in prison
there will return soon to oul
lfatherland."
He made no direct comment
on Identification Of Germany, the
big issue upon which no appar-
ient progress was made in the
| five-day conference in Moscow
But he limited at future negotia-
lions with the Russians in these
words:
