This story comes from Bob Smith, teLe-
1t to me one morning in an NBC-7T studio:
p Brooklyn baker worked so hard and
turned out such superior bread and cakes
that at the age of SIS, he was able to sell out
his business for $4,000. With 70 crisp,
new thousand-dollar bills stashed away in
his pocket, he and his wife boarded plane
for California, set on living the rest of their
lives in peaceful retirement.
Over the Nevada desert, the plane de-
veloped minor engine trouble, and the
passengers were told, There is no danger
whatever, but we're playing it safe and
putting down at Las Vegas. Wen be

you may dine at any hotel you choose as

lure of the gambling tables was too much
and he decided to risk thousand-dollar
bill on the roll of the dice.
Alas! The thousand dollars soon melted
away, and the baker, now intent only upon
recouping his losses, lost his head COM
pIetely. He also lost his entire 20 thou
sand dollars.
The poor man headed unsteadily for the
public washroom, but he didn't even have
the 10 cents that would gain him admission
to that sanctuary. A fellow passenger from
the plane understood his plight and pressed
dime into his hand.

NEW YORK, April 81 (APl
United States Court of
Appeals today unanimously
upheld a Federal Aviation
Agency order grounding air
line pilots over so years of age.
The order had been con-
tested by the Air Line Pilots
Association. which sought to
prevent Elwood R. Quesada,
administrator of the FAA,
from enforcing the ruling
issued last December /.
The order called for l;ncon-
ditional grounding of all over
so pilots by last March Is.
The FAA order previously
had been upheld in United
States District Court.
The Appeals Court decision,
written by Chief Judge J.
Edward Lumbard. said Mr.
Quesada is AN expert in his
field" and that 1T is not the
business of courts to Substi-
tute their untutored judgment
for the expert of knowledge of
those who are given authority
to implement the general
directiveS of Congress"
The court also ruled that
Mr. Quesada did not act un-
reasonably in placing greater
limitations on the certificates

Powell Case
Goes 10 Jury

NEW YORK. April 81 (AP) .
The Federal income tax trial
OF Representative Adam Clay
ton Powell, Democrat of New
York, went to the jury at 1:09
pm. today. The trial began
March 8.
First item on the agenda of
the eight women and four men
on the jury was lunch. Then
they were to begin delibera-
tions.
The Negro Congressman
faces a maximum five years in
prison and a $4,000 fine if
convicted.
The jury received the case
after a 42-minute charge by
District Judge Frederick Bryan.
The prosecution summed up
yesterday, and the defense the
day before.
Mr.. Powell. who is 81. is
charged with filing a fraudulent
1851 tax return for his wife,
jazz pianist Hazel Scott. Miss
Scott, who is estranged from
Mr.. Powell and has made her
home in Paris for a number OF
years. is not a defendant in the
case.
The judge dismissed the two
other counts in the indictment
during the trial because the
prosecution had failed to sub
stantiate them. They dealt with
a Joint return by Mr.. Powell
and his wife in 1852.
Assistant United States At

Committee BuIks

The House Rules Committee

floor vote a S25l million area
redevelopment bill.
Requests for release of the
measure. which has been
bottled up in the committee
since last May, we're ignored
after three days of open hear

period of two weeks.
The measure won the ap-
proval of the House Banking

A man acquitted of robbery
and assault charges, on grounds
that he was of unsound mind
at the time Of the crimes has
won a conditional release from
st. Elizabeths Hospital.
District Court Judge Edward
M. Curran yesterday ordered
the conditional release of Fran
els w. Friend, 80, after a
habeas corpus hearing. The
release requires Friend to re-
port to the hospital at such
times as instructed and to keep
hospital authorities informed
as to his occupation and resi-
dence.
The United States attorneys
Office opposed the release,
pointing out that the st. Eliza
beths Hospital superintendent,
DR.. Winfred OverholSer, had
not certified Friend as being
ready for either unconditional
or conditional release.
Two psychiatriSts from the
hospital testified at the hearing
that Friend would not be dan
gerous to himself or others. A
third pSychiatirSt testified that
Friend probably would be
dangerous.
Friend had been accused of
robbing youth in February,
1854. of rs cents and of assault
ing the boy with a dangerous
weapon-a pistol. A wild shot
was fired by Friend, authori-
ties said. but no one was in
jured.
In July, 1854, Friend was
adjudged of unsound mind. but
in october, 1857, he was found
mentally competent to stand
trial. In November. 1857,
Friend waived jury trial and
was tried without a jury by
Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut,
who found him not guilty by
reason Of insanity.
1t was testified at the habeas
corpus hearing that Friend had
twice walked away from the
hospital while a patient there.

turned voluntarily last Sep

vairs from General Dynamics
also is being considered. Seven
.DC-6B's are being operated
under lease from Pan American

At the crowded stockholders
meeting, which lasted about
four hours. Mr.. Baker wrestled
with criticisms and resolutions
from many small stockholders
including veteran pilots and
employees of Capital.
He said merger with another
airline and some sort of aid
from the Civil Aeronautics
Board are major hopes of the
management.
Several Considered
Mr.. Baker did not mention
any specific merger, but said
several Eastern airlines might
be considered. Another COM
pany official said Northeast
Airlines, Northwest Airlines,
National Airlines and Delta
Airlines were companies in this
category.
From Minneapolis today
came a fiat denial from Presi-
dent Donald Nyrop of North

sibility for a merger of Capital
with his company.

Route Problems
Northeast's one long route
would be an asset in any merger,
but its maze of short lines
wouldn't contribute much when
combined with Capitals own
surplus of feeder hauls, it has
been pointed out.
The CAB should accept its
share of the blame for airline
difficulties because of its long
delay on fare increases, Mr..
Baker said.
He said that if Capital erred
in its airplane acquisition pro-
gram, upon which it was unable
to maintain payments, it was
because it was trying to serve
the public interest. Capitals
burden of short haul lines is a
creation of the CAB, he said.
For the short run, only CAB
can provide the means to
weather the immediate problem
facing Capital" he emphasized.
THE CAB has been consider
ing an equitable fare increase
for all carriers for years. Capt.
tails request for relief from
certain short-haul feeder type
routes has been before this
Government agency for years
and the emergency request for
has been under consid-
GRAFTON for only a few weeks.
Any action or even an indica-
ton of action on each of these
will go far toward aid
ing Capital in meeting some of
today's problems"
The question as to whether
Vickers-Armstrongs Ltd. might
be willing to work out some
sort of leasing arrangement for
Capital if the present equip
ment is forecloSed is being ex-
plored and a representative of
the British company is expected
to come here for talks along
this line, Mr.. Baker said.
The mortgage upon which
Vickers-Armstrongs now is
seeking to foreclose in Federal
Court in New York covers all
planes of the company, includ-
ing older types as we'll as the

9 Experts to Pool Ideas
On A-Bon at Heorinq

as far as this country knows
Russia is observing the test
moratorium which began No
vember /, 1858.
DR.. Teller said he had no evil
dence either way and was not
accusing Russia, but was sim
ply saying that the Soviet could
be testing bombs.
Bethe Outlines Plan
DR.. Bethe, who has served on
President Eisenhower's Science
Advisory Committee, outlined a
plan he said might make work
able the admittedly faulty con-
troll system worked out by
United States, Russian and
British experts at Geneva in
1858.
DR.. Bethe said by adding 600
unnamed control stations in
the Soviet Union to the 20
manned stations contemplated
in the 1858 plan, detection
might be made feasible even
for decoupled blasts-those set
of in big holes.
He said such a system would
be capable of picking up 10
ton shots-the equivalent of a
20-kiloton decoupled blast. The
United States test ban pro-
posal at Geneva covers under
ground shots of 20 kilotons or
more.
DR.. Bethe conceded there are
about 5000 earthquakes and
other disturbances of lotion
size or greater in Russia each
year. But he said about 80 per
cent of these would be identi-
fable as earthquakes.
1t would be unnecessary to
inspect most of the remaining
500 events because many would
be in areas where decoupling
would not be feasible.

Nine scientists with widely
conflicting views get a chance
today to pick apart each others
ideas on the feasibility of a
nuclear test-ban control system.
The Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee called the
experts together around one
table to see if a composite
opinion could come from such
q discussion.
The committee has heard
much testimony about tech
nical difficulties involved in any
control plan. Only a minority
of scientists have held out any
hope of success.
Probably the two most prom
inent panelists are DR.. Edward
