Catholic Church
Rated High in
Management Study

NEW YORK, R-The Roman
Catholic Church has received a
better than excellent rating in a
management study made by the
American Institute of Manage
ment.
The church is as efficient as
any nonprofit organization in the
world" said Jackson Martindell,
president of the institute, at a
news conference in connection
with the release of the manage
ment report Sunday.
Martindell said the year-long
study of the church and its world
wide operations represents the
opinions of hundreds of people
and statistics gathered by hun
dreds of people"
The institute is a nonprofit or
ganization with more than $4,000
members, including 5000 COM
pany presidents in the US. and
Canada It is devoted to improve
ment of management practices by
comparative appraisals.
The Roman Catholic Church
rating was based on operations
over the past so years and had
nothing to do with DOGMA" said
Martindell.
He said he could not tell why
the church audit was undertaken
except that after an audience in
1948 with the Pope he felt cas- a
human being in society it became
important for me to know more
about he Catholic Church,
Martindell volunteered that he
is not Catholic and had mo in
tention of becoming one."
The report described Pope Plus
XII as "the worlds hardest work
ing ruler" Apparently being
groomed to succeed him is Arch
bishop Giovanni Battista Montini
of Milan, the report said.

Rescue Ship Approaches
Ice-BOund Research
Ship in Antarctic

LONDON, R-The minelayer
Protector radioed today she had
blasted her way to within so
miles of Britain's ice-trapped Ant
arctic exploration ship Theron.
The Theron, carrying top Brit
iSh scientists, has been caught for
three weeks in a grinding waste
of pack ice in the Wedell Sea.
Her crew of 80 has been fighting
with icepacks and dynamite to
cut their way through to clearer
waters.
HMS Protector, from the Falk-
land islands fleet, is rushing two
helicopters to the Theron to use
for Spottlng a way through the
ice. The rescue ship was 700 miles
from the Theron Saturday.
Barely six weeks remain for
the British advance team aboard
the Theron to reach the Antarctic
coast, set up a base, and hurry
out into warm water again before
the winter ice packs clamp down.
DR.. Vivian Fuchs, leader of the
British Commonwealth expedi-
ZION, radioed the Theron was hav-
ing to inch her way backwards
through the two-foot-thick ice,
with her Antarctic destination 700
miles away. Fuchs ultimate goal
Is Vahsel Bay, where a prelimin-
airy base will be set up to receive
the man expedition next year.
From that base, British explor-
alton teams will attempt to cross
the great subcontinent by land-a
2,000-mile trek through uncharted
icelands.

Should Stop Exchange of
Delegations With Russia

NEW YORK R-The New York
Herald Tribune said today the
National Security Council has re-
ceived recommendations from top
government officials that a viz
tual halt should be called to fur
Their exchanges of delegations
with the Soviet Union.
The recommendations We e
made, the story said, because of
security factors and because the
Russians obtain almost all the adj
vantages in these exchanges, par
ticularly in the commercial and
scientific fields"
A Washington dispatch to the
Herald Tribune by Marguerite
Higgins said this development
had been learned exclusively.
The story said in part:
"The great debate at high lev
els on this matter finds the De-
partment of Commerce and the
Department of Justice joining in
the point of view that under
present circumstances exchanges
of delegations should be highly
restricted, whereas the majority
of the Department of State, with
the exception of a few officials
such as Under Secretary Hoover,
and the Pentagon feel that the
exchanges should continue as long
as they are carefully controlled.

Voodoo Reported
To Have Flown
Over 1000 M.P.H.

WASHINGTON, R-The Nc
Donnell F-101 Voodoo, probably
the biggest, heaviest and longest
ranged fighter in the world, is
reported to have flown faster than
1000 miles an hour a number of
times.
It is also believed to be super
sonic in climbing as well as in
level flight. The voodoo has two
Pratt and Whitney J-57 engines.
1t is known that a number of
Voodoos are in operation. Esti-
mates of the number that have
flown range between 20 and 80.
They are said to have performed
impressively at attitudes up to
$4,000 feet and above.
The Air Force maintains a
strict lid on information about
the plane, destined for duty with
the Strategic Air Command as a
long range bomber escort.
Nor will the manufacturer, Nc
Donnell Aircraft Corp, of st.
Louis, discuss its product. The
company refers all queries to the
Air Force.
Only one official world super
sonic speed record ever has been
set. Air Force Col. Horace Hanes
flew 822 miles an hour in North
American F-10OC Super Sabre
last Aug. 20.

Alaska Airlines Employees
Give Farwell Party
For Margaret Heller

A farewell party was given to
Margaret Heller, departing Alas
ka Airlines manager by her Nome
crew at the Polaris Hotel last Sat
urday evening.
Since Miss Heller's arrival here
the local AA. station has become
a most important link in the
transportation system of northern
Alaska with an average of more
than one flight day. 1t has been
a tremendous task which has
earned Margaret Heller a reputa-
ton for outstanding leadership
and led to her work being fea-
tured by Fortune Magazine last
year.
Members of the farewell party
included Mr.. and Mrs. Bill Gold
en- of Florida, who are to replace
Miss Heller, Mr.. and Mrs. Bob
Jacobs, Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Scott,
Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn Lenert, Mr..
and Mrs. Bob Schick, Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Kost, Arnie Castell,
Margie Castell Hay, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jim Bergamaschi, and Fred
Kraum.
A specially prepared cake by
North Star Bakery was decorated
with a miniature Alaska Airlines
plane complete with runway and
rosebud runway lights. She was
presented with a Samsonite four
nighter.
The staff of the Polaris Hotel
joined in the farewell party and
presented Miss Heller with a
matching piece of luggage.
In her farewell remarks Miss
Heller said that she leaves the
finest crew of all Alaska to her
successor"
She has no definite plans be-
yond a well-earned rest, as she
has been putting in long hours
seven days a week for many
months. She plans to remain in
Anchorage for a while as she has
a home there.

LOS ANGELES, ga two-car
Santa Fe diesel train, its engineer
apparently blacked out, rounded
curve too fast last night and
careened over, killing an estimat-
ed 20 persons and injuring at least
90 in one of CALIFORNIA; worst
railroad disasters.
Bodies were so badly mangled
and observation-disclosures were de-

them and determining exactly
how many were in the morgue.
At least two were children.

"The people sitting on the left
side were sucked right out of the
window and caught on the ties
when the train crashed on its
side,' said flagman Bill Hines,
one of the crew of five. ''Those
people didn't have chance"
Sparks showered as both over
turned cars skidded along with a
deathly screeching sound for
about 20 feet on the outside of the
curve. Each car contained diesel
unit and room for 88 passengers.

Thousands of homebound mo-

Stunned, injured survivors lay,
sat or stood along the ground.
Some searched for missing rela-

assembled crowd gasped. A body

IN So HOURS

OPPAMA, Japan, R-A us.
Navy weather balloon launched
here Saturday passed above the

day, the Navy said today.
The balloon crossed the Pacific
in less than So hours, taking much
the same path used by Japanese
balloon fire bombs in World War

It reported in by its automatic
radio and was we'll on its way
toward Salt Lake City at 200
miles an hour. The balloon was
drifting at 10000 feet.
The balloon, helium filled and
40 feet in diameter, is sending

A similar launching earlier last
week misfired when an automatic
trigger released the weather

Senator Takes
Issue With Dulles
On Brink Story

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Nc
Cormack of Massachusetts, the
House Democratic leader, said
yesterday congressional leaders
advised caution on a plan for s..
participation in the Indochina
War in 1854.
Mccormack thus took indirect
issue with the claim attributed to
Secretary of State Dulles, in a
controversy stirring article in
Life magazine. that strong ac-
ton" by the Eisenhower Admin
istration had prevented us. in
Movement in Indochina and in

Life Editor Henry R.

we heartily regret it.
Mccormack, on a filmed TV
interview with Rep. Heating R-
NY) Sunday, said the United
States "would have been over the
brink and into war; if congress
sional leaders had not applied the
brakes.
He said that at a meeting in
Dulles office in April 1854 there
was talk of "a mass air attack
upon the Communists, who were
besieging Diem Bien Phu,' the
French fortress whose subsequent
fall presaged the end of the war
in Indochina.

man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

side of the French.

"Lieder zines fahrenden oesel-
len"
There can be little question
that Miss White is a fine singer
and an intelligent musician. She
is gifted with a voice of remark
ably even quality from the top
to the bottom of the range, a
precise sense of pitch, and the
ability to create a mood and hold
an audience.
These admirable qualities were
well in evidence in the group of
Schubert and Brahms lieder she
offered. most impressive of which
were the not too frequently sung
'Nacht und Traume" and the
truly great "Wie Melodien zieht
|ES."
AS the highlight of the open
ing group. Miss White presented,
with the assistance Of Violinists
Bernard Mason and Louis Jones,
Heinrich Schutz's "Paratum cor
|meum." While the singers work
in this difficult piece was un-
exceptionable, the ensemble of
the four participants left some
thing to be desired.
Miss Whites Interpretation of
the Mailer cycle was very sim
liar in feeling and scope to that
of Carol Brice, but it was marred
in its effectiveness by Accom-
PIANIST Thomas H. Kerr's lack of
precision, a flaw which was not
evident in other songs, where he
played sensitively and unobtru-
Isively.
One of the peaks of the recital
was the soloiSt's tender rendition
of the spiritual Talk About a
Chile" which was set by Mr..
Kerr with great skill and dig
nifty. The rather lengthy evening
closed with three of BENJAMIN
Britten's oversophisticated and
overly cute English folk song
settings which are, unfortu-
nately. achieving considerable
popularity among vocalists un-
familiar with the simple grace
and charm Of the originals.

Strangely enough, the day.

something happens at night.
Just take a look at Park Ave

Levittown or Westport or East

Television is also a pertinent
factor. It's so much easier to sit

game or the prize fight with a
glass of booze in your hand than

It's also quite q bit cheaper
