Women's Responsibility
Is Her Main Theme

Mary Virginia Sink, one of
the few women automotive
engineers in the United
States, spent the weekend
here with Katherine Stinson,
one of the country's few
women aeronautical engi-
neers.
However, it was not engi-
neering, but their mutual in
terests as Soroptinlists that
occasioned this particular
reunion of two longtime
friends.
Project engineer for the
Chrysler Corporation (the
only woman to hold down
this position in the world of
wheels, Miss Sink was elect
ed in July for a two-year
term as president Of the So
roptimist Federation of the
Americas.
Miss Stinson who is chief
Of regulations and proceed

Agency, happens to be the
new president of the Sorop-
timist Club Of Washington.
So. when the local Sorop-
timists celebrated their 40th
anniversary yesterday at a
luncheon at the Mayflower
Hotel, Miss Sink came from
Detroit to be the honor guest
and speaker.
New Dimension
Pointing out that the fed
Grafton she heads includes a
four-ye a r-old Soroptimist
Club in Japan, a club now
being organized on Formosa
and a number IN the Latin
American nations, Miss Sink
said the theme of her two
year administration will be

ship"
II happen to be on the
bandwagon that feels it is
time for the average woman
to pay more attention to her
responsibility as a citizen"
Miss Sink commented.
One Of the ways to effect
this, she continued, is to
make sure that the most
qualified people are chosen
for top positions = regard
less of sex - whether the
field is industry or the gov
ernment.
Since policies are made at
a high level, we need more
women there, she said sue
cinctly.
The Soroptimist leader be-
lieves that women themselves
can do more to prepare for
high positions.
Once their qualifications
are established, however, they
should receive strong support
of other women for high
posts, she continued.
In a third area, she said,
women should work in the
field of public opinion to
break down whatever pre-
judices there may be against
the advancement of qualified
women.

numerous honors as a "wonn-

BIG CITY C0UNTERpONT
Tragedy and Joy Visit New York Together

At the Waldorf the family
and friends of John Glenn
basked in the glory of the as
tronaut. And at Idlewild's han
gar 10 a handful Of next-of-
kin waited dry-eyed for the
shock to wear off and grief to
take hold.
In Manhattan, a cabbie
wearing a Glenn button seemed
somewhat put out by a passen-
gers request for a fast ride to
Idlewild. He had hoped to knock
off work to see his hero. As to
the plane crash, his only COM
ment was: Yeah, I hold"
But on the way back from
Idlewild the same passenger
had as his driver a hacker who
had that morning dropped off
a fare at American Airlines'
terminal-a fare bound for Los
Angeles on flight No. /. The
cabbie philoSophically contem-
plated the way the bell tolls.
AS far as John Glenn was con-
cerned, the cabbie could hardly
care less.

Yorkers were not.
AS white wings from the
Sanitation Department swept
up ticker tape from as far east
as Second avenue last night,
men in rowboats and waders
dug deeper into the wreckage
in Jamaica Bay. Some Of the
street-sweepers cursed; some Of
the rescue workers wept.
And the Big Town swung
back into its routine. The
planes never stopped flying into
and out of Idlewild. The sub
ways never stopped running in
Manhattan. John Glenn, the
hero and the airliner's IS vic
tins were not really forgotten
as Thursday turned to Friday;
they were just assimilated into
the never-ending legend of this
frighteningly big, frightening
ly impersonal town.

Manhattan. And a man stood
numbly in a crowd of reporters
at Idlewild and read his wife's
name on an airline casualty
list.
One group of thrill-seeking
kids jammed the lower floors
of the Waldorf for a glimpse
of Astronaut Glenn. And an
other group pressed against po-
lice barricades in the swamps
edging Jamaica Bay for a look
at the grisly work of body re-
covery.
In the afternoon the twin
focuses of joy and sorrow drew
closer together in mid-Manhat-
tan. The Glenn motorcade
threaded a ticker-tape jungle
to the door of the Waldorf
Astoria as thousands shrieked
their admiration. And at al
most the same moment, a si-
lent cortege of police ambu-
lances drew up to the emerg-
ency entrance of Bellevue Hos
pital with a dozen or so
"D.O.A."-dead on arrival.

One casualty was reported in

Airline No-Show Fee
Is Authorized at Once

and fail to cancel their reser-
vations in advance-will be
fined by means of a "reserva-
ton service charge" of at least
SIS and not more than $40.
The usual fine will be so per
cent of the value Of the first
remaining ticket coupon.
The airline agreement, as
approved by the CAB, provides
for an identical payment by
the airline to the passenger
who finds that the space for
which he has a ticket has beer
sold to some other traveller.
That is, the passenger will
be refunded so per cent Of the
value of the first part of his
remaining ticket-not less than
$5 nor more than $40.
For example, if a passenger
is headed for the West Coast
with stops in Chicago and
Houston on the way, and the
no-show or oversale occurs in
Chicago, the penalty applies on
the Chicago-HouSton coupon.
When the airlines first pre-
sented their proposal to pen
alize passengers who fail to
show up, the CAB tentatively
approved it but noted that the
airlineS failed to provide for
penalties for default on their
side. The oversale penalty was
the result.
The airlines proposed that
the language be strong enough
so that the passenger must
accept the prescribed penalty
for oversales as full compensa-
tion for all damages.
The CAB conditioned it's ap-
proval, however, to make it
clear that the prescribed pen
atty is the minimum obligation
of the airlines, and ends the
airline's obligation only if it
is accepted by the passenger.
The CAB also noted concern
lest the no-show penalty be
assessed wrongly because of
faulty record keeping, failure
to receive written confirmation
of cancellation, or inability to
cancel because of inadequate
telephone service in the air.
