Studyof Tapes
Urged byFAA
By the Associated Press

The Civil Aeronautics Board
was requested officially yester-
day to examine the flight re-
corder tapes Of 40 Jet planes
assigned the same holding pat
tern as one Of the two planes
that collided over New York
last month.
The request came from FL
wood r. Quesada, administrator
Of the Federal Aviation Agency.
Mr.. Quesada said the 40 Jets
used the Preston holding pat
tern Just before the collision.
A United Air Lines DC-8 was
assigned that pattern Decem-
ber is before it collided with a
Trans World Airlines Super
Constellation. The crash killed
134 persons.
Cites Testimony
Mr.. Quesada said the FAA
made the request because
testimony at q c. A. B. hearing
In New York Monday gave
reason to believe that some
pilots may have been engaging
in unsafe operating practices. T"
The testimony, based on the
United Jets flight recorder
tape, indicated that the Jet was
flying 378 miles an hour when
its speed should not have been
more than 207 miles an hour.
Flight tapes record the speed,
altitude, direction and time of
planes maneuvers. All civil Jet
aircraft carry them.
FAA Study Pledged
Mr.. Quesada said the FAA
also would study the tapes. An
agency statement said the FAA
believes the tapes may reveal
information on operating prac-
tices, not otherwise available to
safety authorities, which may
call for administrative or regu-
latory measures. or In some in
stances may indicate violations
Of the civil air regulations by
airlines or pilots"
Under law, the c. A. B. in
vestigates air crashes. The
FAA, however. has the power
to impose restrictions or issue
new regulations based on the
c. A. B. findings.

PD ENCOURAGES TEENAGE DANCES

Dances for young people are en- couraged by the Police Depart ment, according to Chief of Police Vickery.
 The police chief, in making the statement, stated however, the necessity of conforming to a City Ordinance relative to holding the dances. Quoting from Ord. 231, he said: "No person or group of per sons shall conduct or operate a dance which minor persons are per mitted to attend without first ob- taining permit therefore from the City k-Treasurer." He will then advise them what other require ments are needed.

The Peoples Business

All Mississippi municipalities,
with the exception of II private
charter cities. will hold their
q%uadrennial elections in May.
This means that an election in
263 centers will be held to pick
heads of city government for the
next four years. Since urban
areas are growing, it also mean
a large percentage (37.7 per cent
according to the 1860 census) of
state citizens will be selecting
the governing authorities closest
to them.
Municipal government needs
the active interest and support
of lay citizens just as much, if
not more, than county, state and
national government. 1t is true
that the further away the gov
eminent, the smaller the amount
of control a citizen can exercise
over it. In other words, it is
much easier to make your voice
heard on the main street of your
hometown than it is in the
county, state or national capitol.
Then, too. you and your neigh
borS efforts for good government
1t home pay off more quickly
than they do when aimed at
greater distance.
Someone has said if state and
national governments are to be-
come conscious of the need for
efficiency and economy, local
governments are to show the
way. Elected officials at the
state and national levels take
their cues from the way the
folks back home vote in local
government.
The Mississippi State Cham
Der of Commerce has studied the
problems of municipal govern
ment for a number of years.
While these problems are many
and some are pressing, their So
luton begins with good leaders.
The voter can play an important
role in seeing that his town has
good leaders by participating in
the election this coming May.
Encourage good people to run
for office, and support them
once they are in office.
The first primary is May g.,
the second primary is May 16.
Be ready for both in your town,
| and cast your ballot wisely.
