Boom With
Group Rate

Reaction Of the trans s-Atlan-
tic airlines to the new-cut rates
for group travel wasn't ex-
pected to be anything but IA
vorable, but enthusiasm was
sweeping in in waves last week.
Agreement among members
Of the international Air Trans
port Association, including 18
airlines directly engaged in
North Atlantic passenger trade,
will drop fares for groups of
Is. or more as much as $186.
Government approval in each
instance appears to be little
more than formality and the
new fares likely will become
available about March 10.
With the announcement,
Sir William P. Hildred, director
general of IATA, said the new
tariffs should make trans
Atlantic travel available and
attractive to hundreds Of thou
sands Of people who have never
voyaged abroad before"
Irish Airlines' Michael j.
Dargan was even more opti-
mistic:
March 10 may take its place
alongside March II (St. Pat
rick's Day. as another great
day for Irish international
Airlines."
Manolita T. Doelger, chair
man of the 21-nation European
Travel Commission, termed the
fare cut an arrival lat the
threshold of a significant new
era in transatlantic travel.
Europe may very well well
come close to a million Amer
ican visitors this year."
Still lacking, but obviously
due, is comment on what effect
the new fares will have on the
"Visit U. s. A." program, which
soon will be getting its first
seasons test.

'4You don't understand che said
II want to report a speaking
turtle" "HaveS you eve
heard Of such a thing I" he ask,
ed. Well, old Steve had me there
and had to admit that sis
years of education had beer
blown to hell by the very state
ment.
/ tried to grab for a pencil
and pad with a free and nerv-
GUS right hand while he con-
tinued. Steve explained that he
and his wife had gone to sleep
the night before, in one of the
rooms at the motel which they
operate, with untroubled minds.
The Wicketts are both fairly
tall. Steve is at least 6 foot 4
inches and Alice, his wife. is
about six inches shorter. They
have a tremendous bed that be-
longed to Steve's grandfather
which is of the old Lincoln type
and must be a city block long,
(Steve told me this as what he
called background" Pm not
sure that it has any direct re-
lation to the turtle.)
Steve says that they were
awakened on Saturday morning
at about 2 am. by a voice which
appeared to be outside their
bedroom window. l asked Steve
what the voice sounded like and
he Just said "a voice." Mr.. Vic
kett says that he threw back the
cover, put on his bathrobe and
walked to the window. Steve
says that there was nothing yisi-
BILE except the two pine trees out
by the garage and a yardfal of
chickens which had gone tO
roost.

and he said that he had just as
sured his wife that nothing was
wrong and had crawled back be-
tween the covers when a voice

heard again to say Herbert
Hoover"
Steve says that the turtle
hasn't spoken quite as much as
the night Of his entry; but even
the Baums have confirmed that
there is a talking turtle at Bux-
ton. Just why the turtle only
says 'Herbert Hoover" is any
body's guess. It is one of those
lamentable things that hap
pens when a reporter needs q
break. A turtle that says "John
Kennedy or even "John Glenn
is Noteworthy and current, but
what in the world can you do
with a turtle that only says
Herbert Hoover" These damn
Republicans will stop at mo-
thing.

that they just sat there in bee
waiting to hear what was com,
ing next when the nuffied
/ squawk was heard again, some
where between Steve's right foot
and Alice's knees. "What did il
say the second timer, / asked
1T sounded like Herb ert
Hoover he said.
Steve says he finally summon
ed enough courage to get out
of bed and was headed towards
his gun in the closet when his
foot tripped over the light cord
and brought the bedside lamp to
the floor with q crash. He says
that he was cussing a blue
streak when the voice was heard
for the third time. Somewhere
beneath Alice in the darkness

name Of Herbert Hoover" Alice
yelled that somebody was carry
ing politics too far and grabbed
her bedroom slipper and hurled
it under the bed just in time to
catch Mr.. Wicket on the ankle
as he approached the voice with
his gun. Mr.. Wicket yelled
dammit" and about the same
time that the voice squawked
the presidents name and the
conglomoration sounded like
dammit Herbert Hoover"
Steve says he shouted: Herbert
Hoover is an Sob, under the
bed and told whoever was under
there to come out pretty damn
quick unless he wanted a de-
preston in his rear that would
make the one in the thirties look
like good times. By this time
Alice had located a flashlight in
the bureau drawer and stood be-
hind her husband as she threw
a beam under the huge bed.
1--WE couldn't believe our
eyes," Steve says. "a turtle" ]
asked. "a turtle" Steve said. !
asked Mr.. Wicket if the turtle
appeared to be different from
any others. "Just a TURTLE he
said.
According to Steve, they put
the turtle in a box on the front
porch and went back to bed
without sleeping much. They
awakened that morning and,
after downing two cups of black
coffee apiece, walked outside to
confirm what they desperately
hoped was a dream. The turtle
was right where they had left
| him. Unfortunately, however, he
wasn't saying anything. Mr..
Wicket leaned over the box and
whispered sHerbert Hoover"
but the effort was futile. All day
long they watched the four
legged shell-backed creature.
They even brought him into the
kitchen. Occasionally Steve
would look the sleepy creature
dead in the eye and repeat the
name of the ex-president. He
even branched out into "Calvin
Coolidge" and Dwight Eisen-
hover" but the animal just
blinked and shifted in his sandy
box.
That night, the Wicketts were
having coffee with the Baums,
trying to explain the incident of
the night before, when, from the
box in the corner, the voice was

For loi The winter Is mast the

Tho flowers appear ON the

heard in
our land.

Almost everybody knows that
the voice Of the turtle Is that 81

brilliantly anchor the us. 1000
meter relay team. With Williams
running the final leg, the us.
team blazed to victory in 3:03.7.
The performance was topped only
when the world record of 3:02.2
was set in the Rome Olympics in
1860 by Jack Yerman, Earl Young,
Glenn Davis, and Otis Davis, also
of the United States.
Like Robert Hayes, Williams,
Of the Southern California
Striders Club, had set a meet
record for the 44O-yard event In
O:45.8 in the California test.
Johnson stole the thunder from
John Thomas by winning the high
jump event Saturday with a leap
of 7 feet u inch. Thomas, former
high jump champion with more
7-foot efforts than any man alive,
was third with a Coy jump.
Miss White, who off the track
is a nurse at Chicago's County
Hospital, won as expected, in the
women's broad jump event. How
ever, her leap of 10 feet, 1013
inchs was well below her best eff
fort of 81 feet, 1% inches.
Tan Jerry Tarr also proved that
his upset win over veteran cham
pion hurdler Hayes Jones at Wal
nut was no fluke by winning the
11O-meter hurdles Saturday. How
ever, this time he won by just an
eyelash over Jones, as both were
clocked at O:13.6 seconds.
A new world record of 204 feet,
10h inches was set for discussion
Sunday by Al Oerter of New York,
a white contestant for the United
States.
With Hayes, Boston, Jones,
Johnson and Miss White and other
us. stars competing, a total
crowd of 23,5oo turned out for the
two-day meet at tn University of
Chicago's Stages Field.
The American men assured the
victory over Poland by taking 10
of 20 events, whereas the us.
women's team was bested by the
Polish women, six to 10.
From Chicago, the international
scene will shift to Palo Alto, Calf,
July 21-22, when the US. team
will battle Russia.
