The Federal Aviation Agency
announced yesterday it has
started action against seven
men accused of violating its
new rule against drinking from
private liquor supplies aboard
airliners.
FAA said so far as the agency
knows this was the first viola
tion of the regulation since the
rule went into effect last March.
The incident occurred aboard
an Eastern Air Lines scheduled
flight from New York to Mon
treal May 20.
FAA said in a news release
that the drinking passengers
turned the passenger cabin
into a Uttered shambles."

A copyrighted story by Re
porters Don Oberdorfer and
Walter Pincus said details of
the trips expenses came to
light because the United States
Embassies in those countries
had no counterpart" funds in
local currencies on hand.
The article called the case
unusual only because lit pro-
videS the public for the first
time a picture of how a Con-
gresham draws down foreign
currency from American en-
bassieS and spends it overseas"
Reports Held From Public
Under the Mutual Security
Law, Congressman with a let
ter from their committee chair
man can draw on these coun-
terpart funds, which are foreign
currencieS normally obtained
under foreign aid programs and
held by the United States over
seas. The story said:
Normally congressman spend
ing such overseas money have
to make only the most Sketchy
sort of reports on where it
went. And even these reports,
which are often extremely in
formal, are never made avail
able to the public"
Instead, the story said. the
counterpart spending reports
are consolidated by congress
sional committees before they
are published 80 no taxpayer
can tell what any one law
maker drew out and expended"
In the case of the Chiperfeld
trip, the story said, the embaS-
sizes in the three countries
bought local currencies with
American dollars to give to the
money of Chiperfield's party,
since no counterpart funds
were on hand.
Congress Billed for Money
The State Department later
billed Congress for the dollars
spent, and the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, of which
Mr.. Chiperf1eld is a member,
paid the bill. Thus the records
became available in the House
Disbursing Office, the story
said.
The article quoted Mr.. Chip
erfleld as saying the funds were
used "for just normal expenses
and some travel. I can't de-
scribe exactly. I don't know
If there are any bills or receipts
any place. I didn't handle the
money. Mr.. Schupp did that.
That's what he was along for"

tee aide, accompanied Mr..

Procedures for selection are also

In the United States, some 9S
other universities have been in

some have already accepted.

broadly" to believe that they can

Of $2,5O0,000.
This year, "a Nigerian students
received scholarships. Some 1000
applied for the awards, indicating
the intense demand for higher edu-
cation.
The selection process includes a
written entrance examination, GUS
tomarily employed by many Amer

before the local selection board.
Besides local educational leaders.
one or two United States univer-
sity admission officers will serve
on each board.
Scholarships are open to stu
dents under the age of 25 who

ond grade Cambridge School Ger

Mr.. Henry said preference will
be given to those students who
