CAB Rules Downward Pressure Ripped Wing Off Ill-Fated Plane

WASHINGTON lR A down. ward pressure load ripped the right wing off the company alrp1ane that crashed near Ravenna, Ohio, Sept. 4, killing l3 occupants, the Civil Acronautics Board disclosed Thursday
 Because of this finding by CAB inspectors, the probe Of the acci- dent now has centered on the planes control system.
 Detailed studies are under way as 10 the funetloning of the planes flaps, ailerons, trim tabs and other movable wing parts.
 The right wing of the twin engine Lodestar of the Ashland Oil Co. was found about 1,600 feet from the main Wreckage and was proof, the CAB said, that it had become detached in flight
 Investigators determined that the wing broke away at the point at which it was attached to the cen ter section of the plane, and that it was broken off by downward pressing load.

MANTEO, N. C.-The Mays
Head story: Each season is
better than the year before and
this one is no exception.
Throughout the sun-bathed
region of the Outer Banks this
year there has been more doing
during the last week than is
normal for this time Of the
year.
The Carolinian at Mays Haed
has been the scene of several
June conventions. Last week it
was the alcoholic beverage con-
troll officials and a medical as
ISOLATION.
Their appearance brought UP
two questions frequently asked
by tourists planning vacations
in this area: Are medical ia
cilities available in the Outer
Banks region and can liquor be
purchased?
The answer is yes in both
cases.
There are doctors and two
medical clinics, one in Manteo,
the other at Cape Hatteras
(Buxton).
=, In addition there is a State
board Of health center in
Manteo.
There are two ABC package
stores where liquor may be pur-
chased by the bottle, one in
Manteo, one at Mays Head.
Beer is legal north of Oregon
Inlet in Dare County, but nei-
Their liquor or beer is sold on
Hatteras or Ocracoke Islands
Golf Too
Another question frequently
asked by vacationists coming
to the Dare CoaSt-O Outer Banks
has to do with golf.
An excellent par 3 golf
course has been developed on
Roanoke Island, adjacent to
U. s. "a, near the shore of Croa-
tan Sound. The golf course is

home. But according to Mr..
Charles Cecil Wall, Mount
Vernon's resident director.
the restored brick floor in
the auxiliary museum annex
is a real BOBBY trap for the
spike crowd. $50 far though
no one has lost a heel" he
said.
Mount Vernon's grounds
superintendent likes the
sharp heels, according to Mr..
Wall, because he says the
spike heels aerate the lawn.
At the White House where
there have been more than l
million visitors so far this
year, Mr.. william v. Elder,
White House curator, reports
there is mo noticeable dam
age" The ability of the floors
to stand UP even under so
great a punishment as needle
heels, he attributed to the
hard oak flooring put down
during the White House res
toration in the Truman ad-
ministration.
The new Embassy Of Iran

retary stated proudly.
Felt Socks
But If this mayhem goes
on, a practice introduced in
Europe this year may solve
everything. Tourists visiting
old castles and museums are
given socks of a kind of wool
felt to put on over their shoes.
That saves the floors and
stops worry.
If you do it the Japanese
way you won't even have to
bother about the socks. The
Japanese Embassy was glad
to say it does not have any

Researchers at the Arm
strong Cork Co. came up with
similar stress statistics plus
an added punch. Whereas a.
224 pound man wearing
ordinary shoes exerts only %
pounds pressure per square
inch on a floor, a 105-pound
woman wearing spike heels
may exert a pressure Of 1000
pounds-per-Square inch when
her heel strikes the floor-or
putting it another way. a
pressure equivalent to that Of
an elephant walking on the
same floor.
Furthermore, they point out
that if nailheads are pro-
truding from the heel, the
pressure can be as much as
10000 pounds per square inch
"a fact that easily explains
why these heels can chew up
wood, chip terrazzo and Snag
and cut carpets!
Indicative of the shoe

Germ for the hazards posed
by the needle-pointS is de-
velopment of the polyure-

the leather lift. The new

relief by better distributing
the weight of the wearer and
does not wear down to the
spike or nails nearly as
quickly as the heather lift.

AS another season for tours
OF old homes begins, the
public looks to 1t with an
ticipation, the owners with
increasing dread.
1t wasn't always thus.
Custodians of old showplaces
have been glad to share their
historic secrets with an in
terested public. But their
enthusiasm has been damp
ened by a new phenomenon
that is making q shambles
Of some Of the Nations most
historic shrines as we'll as
Washington Embassies and
mansions open to the public
on annual tours.
Gradually, beautiful old
floors have begun to look as
though someone peppered
them with birdshot and
priceless carpets are taking
on a shredded wheat ap-
pearance.
The culprit is the fashion
able stiletto heel, so favored
by milady all over the world
for its leg-slimming illusory
qualities and durability-but
so deadly in the havoc it has
wrought.
1.-THE ladies are really
walking pile drivers" says
Mr.. C. Malcolm Watkins, the
Smithsonian Institutions
curator Of cultural history.
Because Of these glamor
needles, boards in 200-year-
old floors have had to be
replaced, aircraft cabin floor
ing has had to be redesigned
and floor covering manufac-
turers figure the only way to
lick 'em is to join 'em with
vinyl textures to camouflage
the heel indentations.
Shuddering
Custodians Of such homes
Of history as Gunston Hall,
Woodlawn and the Custis-
Lee Mansion not to mention
the hundreds of Maryland
and Virginia houses Of
historic interest, Embassy
chatelaines and Washington
mansion owners have good
cause for concern. The stress
statistics are shuddering.

walking daggers. I'm very
much against these very thin
heels; they spoil my carpets"
she exclaimed, adding "they
have even damaged the floor
at Versailles!"
Gunston Hall, ancestral
home of George Mason, can
also join the lamenters now.
1t, too, has an Oriental car
pet in the hall entrance.
After three years wear and
tear from stiletto spikes, the
rug had to be sent to New
York to be reduced in size
and the worn spots rewoven.
One of Gunston Halls
greatest casualties from a
historical viewpoint - and
perhaps hysterical Il at this
point for its concerned Gus
todians-is the loss Of six
floor boards from the orig
inal floor laid in 1859 with
broad leaf yellow pine beams
plentiful then, but nom
existant now. The boards
literally are irreplaceable, &C
cording to Mr.. Frederick j.
Griffiths, director of Gunston
Hall. Its hard to get floor
boards as thick as we have
here" Mr.. Griffiths said the
other day. That's why we
have even bought floors from
old homes being diSmantled."
The Custis-Lee mansions
floors present the same prob
lem as at Gunston. Because
the cracks between the
boards are wider than their
goth century counterparts,

Mullins, Park Service his
torian at the mansion, spike
heeled lady tourists get those
thin heels caught in the
cracks which splinterS and

The Railway Labor Execu-

a hearing examiner had failed
to find that the public would
gain through acquisition of the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad by
the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road.
The labor group made the
statement in filing exceptions
to the report of John L. Brad
ford, the hearing examiner for
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. In his May / report
Mr.. Bradford had recon-
mended ICC approval of the
C&O-B&O bid for conSolida-
tion with a view toward ulti-
mate merger.
The Railway Labor Associa-
ton said the consolidation pro-
poSal had such far-reaching
effects on employees of the two
railroads, their families and
communities that these defects
would virtually compel denial
of the application"
The labor group also noted
that the New York Central
Railroad originally opposed the
B&O-C&O move on grounds
that it might divert Al per cent
of Central's traffic to the new
combined railroad.
But New York Central later
withdrew this opposition and
submitted to the ICC its own
proposal for a Central l-Pennsyl-
vania railroad merger.
The rail labor chieftains
raised these questions:
What would happen to New
York Central if the ICC ap-
proves the CS5O-B&O applica-
ton but rejects the Central
Pennsylvania bid?
