The pilot Of an airliner that
crashed near Charlottesville,
Va. year and half ago was
so nervous and wrought-up
that he should not have been
flying, the Civil AeronauticS
Board said today.
The crash killed 26 persons,
including the pilot.
The board disclosed, in its
long-awaited report on the ac-
cident, that it has recommend
ed that the Federal Aviation
Agency, airline and pilot rep
resentatives and the medical
profession look into the prob
lem Of early detection and cor
rection of emotional and men
tai difficulties that might af-
feet the performance of an air
plane crew members.
Emotional Stress Blamed
The pilot, George Lavring,
80, of Winston-Salem. N. c.,
had been under the treatment
of two psychiatriSts, the CAB
said. and one had prescribed
certain drugs.
The pilots preoccupation
with his personal troubles ap-
parently led to the naviea-
tional error that caused the
accident, the CAB said. 1t
added that while it had not
determined that Capt. Lavrinc
was actually using tranquilizers
on the day Of the fatal flight,
it believed that emotional and
mental problems" were a far
greater factor contributing to
his preoccupation than the use
Of drugs would have been.
However, the board added
that the accident demonstrates
the need for re-examination of
the use Of drugs which may af-
feet the faculties of a flight
crew member in any manner
contrary to safety"
Flew Off Course
Capt. Lavrinc was the pilot
Of a Piedmont Airline DC-3
that crashed into Bucks Elbow
Mountain, 13 miles west of
the Charlottesville Albemarle
County Airport October 80, 1859.
OF the 81 persons aboard,
only one survived.
The board said the pilot
failed to follow the airway
through a left turn during a
flight on instruments from
Washington. and flew off
course. apparently without real
izing it.
THE consensus Is that Capt.
Lavrinc was so heavily bur-
dened with mental and emo
tlonal problems that he should
have been relieved of the strain
Of flight duty while undergoing
treatment for his condition"
the board said.
1t said Capt. LaVrinc re-
ceived psychotherapy in 1858
and 1884, obtained further
psychiatric counseling in 1857,
and resumed intensive psyche

ngS on the bill and favorable
action by 1t and the full Senate
Civil Service Committee is ex-
pected soon.
While the administration has
opposed the bill, there is strong
reason to believe that the bill
would be signed by President
Kennedy If it is approved by
Congress.
The bill would increase the
present value Of life insurance
policies held by Federal en-
ployes under the Government
employe life insurance program
by about rs per cent. Also
the additional insurance would
not decrease in value after age
IS as is the case with the pres
ent coverage. For these addi-
tional benefits employees would
pay IS cents per pay day for
each additional $1,000 worth
Of insurance and the Govern
ment would pay 1914 cents, the
same arrangement as is in ef-
feet for the present coverage

KEEPING PACE

KEEPING ACE
THE HAM THAT have come over this place in the
last decade are nothing short of phenomenal Those of US who
live and work here day in and day out almost never notice it,
perhaps because it is not rapid or startling, or that there is so
much with daily living and work that the changes 60
by unnoticed. But it is nevertheless t here. Some of these
changes are for the better, others, thank goodness in the
minority, are not 50 good.
IN H LIGHT Of what has already taken place, and
what is taking place, the new ~PaiewonSky administration will
have to face up to il, and take action, or it will find itself at a
loss. The world about us must not be allowed to move at a
pace with which VIE cannot cope. Taking a broad view OF the
picture, one could begin with the fact that there are today
over twenty more nations than there were Just a year ago.
And the world has shrmk, bringing these closer and closer BY
the hour.
THESE ISLANDS we have seen luxury hotels spring
up, thousands Of tourists flock to our shores, where only six
or eight tourist ships once came, now over a hundred ships
inchp7s st. Thomas, and even St. Crox, in their ports OF call.
Automobiles crowd our highways, shops are everywhere, and
anything even resembling the past may be merely CO.
incidental.
AMONG THE CHANGES about which there could be
some regret is the condition in real estate. Regardless OF who
makes the money, or controls these matters there is bound to
be unfortunate results in one why or the other, tor imitation,
in any form is dangerous, and unless controlled can be most
devastating. One Of the outgrowth Of this situation is that a
false and sickly type Of economy sprouts. Land in this place
becomes at a premium, and before we realize it ownership will
be in the hands Of only those with extreme wealth. That
would be all right, and about that there could be no objeo-
ton whatever but the effects on the social, political and
economic aspects Of our life could sink us to a level out OF
which there might be no recovery.
H ADMINISTRATION might take time out to study
the situation and provide sound effective leadership 50 that
we NIGH. not wake up one day to find ourselves in the big
gest mess possible. Every school boy knows what happened
to the great cities and nations Of boom and bust
