Pilots Threaten
Strike0ver
Seat Dispute

Eastern Air Lines pilots have
given notice they will refuse to
fly any jet plane in which a
Federal Aviation Agency in
spector occupies one of the
three pilot seats.
Paul F. Abel of 721 Tarpon
lane, Alexandria. chairman Of
the Eastern Pilots group, said
similar action will be taken by
pilots of American, Pan Amer
can and Trans Woorld jet
planes beginning June IS.
Eastern pilots were prepared
to act Sunday on a fight in
auguratng Eastern non stop Jet
service between New York and
Houston.
Mr.. Abel said shortly before
the flight the pilots were no
titled that supervisory person.
mel would fly the plane, thus
averting a possible showdown.
Action Threatened
So far there has been no
instance of refusal to fly. Mr..
Abel said the pilots have been
notified by FAA Administrator
ElWood r. Quesada that "ap-
propriate action" will be taken
if the pilots refuse to CO.
operate. Mr.. Abel said he did
not know what was meant by
appropriate action
In dispute is who will occupy
the third seat in cockpits of
jet liners. This seat is located
on the lefthand side behind
the pilot. 1t is occupied by the
third pilot on lines where it
is agreed that three pilots are
needed. On other lines. Sec
ond officer uses the seat.
FAA flight inspectors happen
also to like this seat, giving
them a vantage point over the
pilots shoulder.
Extra Pilot Needed
Mr.. Abel said his group be-
lieveS three pilots are needed
for safe handling of the big
jets, and that is the basis for
their side of the dispute.
He said also that the FAA
has suggested that the work
normally done by the third
pilot-paper work, radio con-
facts and other functions
should be split between the
captain and co-pilot.
They want us to do. this,
then sit in judgment on whether
or not we are competent to
handle the job" Mr.. Abel Seid.
Mr.. Abel said there was no
quarrel with the FAA's right to
put an inspector aboard. But
the pilots think he could do
his job just as efficiently sitting
in the regular observers seat.

Coleman
Confession
IsAlIoWed
By CARL IRVING
Star stan Writer

A three-day defense battle to
keep Raymond Coleman'S con-
fession from the jury was lost
today when the judge ruled the
defendant made the statement
voluntarily while he was being
legally detained by police.
The defendant had been in
custody for 38 hours before he
was taken to court and advised
by an attorney. His lawyer
today argued that the deten-
ton was illegal because District
law requires that an accused
person be arraigned without
unnecessary delay after his
arrest.
Raymond, 90, and his brother
William, 25. are being tried on
charges of numbering a police
officer January 7 while robbing
a liquor store.
Bond Set at $4,000
Raymond Coleman was taken
into police custody at 1870 am.
the next day. That afternoon
a Judge ordered him held as a
material witness under $4,000
bond. He was kept in custody
in a hotel room until the next
day when he was returned to
police headquarters where he
allegedly confessed. Then he
re-enacted the holdup at the
liquor store at SOL Florida ave-
nue. NV, 1t. Edward A. DAILY
of the Homicide Squad testified
today.
The Government claims that
Coleman was not actually ar
rested until he confessed an
hour and a half before his
arraignment. Defense Attor-
ney Thomas E. Schmidt argued
that the defendant was arrested
when he was taken into GUS
tody. He became a suspect
when he was picked out of a
lineup of 19 men by the liquor
store owner 30la hours after
his arraiRnment. Mr.. Schmidt.
said.
Assistant United States At
torney Thomas A. Flannery
argued that recent decision
by the United States Court of
Appeals dictates" that police
"ought not make charges
lightly, nor should they be
forced prematurely to choose
between charging and releas-
ing"
Issue Left to Jury
He was referring to a 2-to-1
decision March II which re-
interpreted the Supreme
Courts Mallory decision. The
Mallory ruling had insisted that
police should not arrest on
mere suspicion. But it also
required that police not delay
taking defendants to court after
they had been arrested and
charged.

"SiIent Vote"
A surprise element entered

poses.
]. Slater McIiugh, vice presi.
dent and general manager of
the Lofstrand Company. said
several of the military services
have expressed keen interest in
the Roustabout after observing
operations of the experimental
model.
One prospective client, Nc
Hugh said, was particularly inn
pressed with the low fnainte-
nance requirements of the truck.
In an appraisal of the vehicle,
the client reported "the simple
ity of the engine and transmits
sion and the accessibility of ma
jor parts should eliminate 60
per cent of the normal mainte.
nance of a standard half.ton
truck"
The low maintenance require.
fnents, according to McIIugh,
make the Roustabout "particu-
lafly adaptable" to South Amer.
lea and countries where service
facilities are lacking.
The trucks will be produced
for the Roustabout Truck Man
ufscturihg Company, a firm
backed BY Rockefeller interests.
Payne, who Is president Of the

sultant while the vehicles are
being produced.

merely refused to take the oath
as a matter of principal.
81 think it is clearly implied
that Mr.. Torcaso was guided by

However, 1 think the issue
is not whether Mr.. Torcaso HIM

but whether the State has the
authority to impose such a re-

the States right to require the

declared, contains guarantees to

The requirement. Prescott de-
