Mrs. Betty Miller, the first
woman to fly alone across the
Pacific Ocean, went over her
( charted route with President
Kennedy this morning. It
was q familiar area to him.
Mrs. Miller called on the
President this morning after
being awarded the Decora-
ton for Exceptional Service
by the Federal Aviation
Agency.
It was the first time any
one imam or woman) had
been given the award.
Her citation, which was
presented by FAA Admins
traitor N. E. Halaby reads:
For her historic and
courageous flight alone across
the Pacific-Santa Monica,
Calf. Brisbane, Australia
April BOMBAY IL, 1868.
Her 7,4O0-mile journey
marked the first time the
Pacific was spanned by q
woman flying alone. Her
valor and skill give her q spe-
cial place in the legendary
history Of American aviation"
Husband There
President Kennedy dis
cussed the trip with Mrs.
Miller and congratulated her.
He then turned to her hus-
band, Mr.. Charles Chuck"
Miller and jokingly told him,
."I think you did all right too"
4, Mrs. Miller reported later
that Mr.. Kennedy asked her
how she was received in
Australia to which she re-
piled wonderfully" She also
told the President that the
Australians are very inter-
ested in flying and would
like to borrow Mr.. Halaby for
a couple Of weeks" to help
with their own aviation
program.
The woman pilots chart
was spread out on the floor
of the Presidents office and
at one point she pointed to
one area on the map and
told him that that was where
she had had some engine and
weather trouble.
Right along with Mrs.
Miller on her White House
visit came the "copilot." This
is q small Morse troll doll,
named Dammit" that was
given to her by her husband
as q good luck symbol. He
has rakish red hair that
stands on end and a rather
sinister expression.
Repeatedly the President
was amused by Dammit"
and the fact that Mrs. Mil

I'VE know that one died
in an INTENDED childbirth,
and another died three hours
after a tooth was extracted
no doubt due to her weak
ened condition"

said her companion, Mrs.
Mirta Garcia, who has q
sister in Cuba's Guanajay
prison.
I'VE know, from a prisoner
who escaped, what my sister
and the others have to eat"
Mrs. Garcia said. For break
fast they have a small cup Of
powdered milk. Lunch is a
small slice of green tomato
and a spoon Of rice. Supper
Is a cup of bean soup. with
more water than beans"
The family has recently
heard, through q letter SNUG

then added with a laugh,

Government"
Mrs. Hart, who has been
fighting for women in avia-
ton, was asked how she
would define femininity ire
garding some criticism that
women could lose it in what
has been considered a mans
field.
The Senator's wife laughed
as she said, well I'll tell
you what television thinks it
is-some kind of idiot raw
ing about a detergent"
But then in a serious vein
she said, Betty Miller is a
perfect example =. she's
cool, competent and a lady"

Mrs. Garcia added worriedly.
She is raising her sisters

added Mrs. Garcia, a nat
uralized citizen who lives
in Miami.

about a month before she
was imprisoned in December,
1860, because he was so ner-
vous from all the bombs ex-
ploding around their house.
I don't know whether she
knew she was about to be
captured"
Besides seeking to bring
pressure on Castro through
the worlds leading women,
the Cuban women's group
which now has 400 members
hopes to interest the United
States government in help
ing them.
Everybody knows that
women are weaker than
men. And the whole world
thinks women and children
should come first" Mrs.
Garcia said with some Bit
terness. Il don't think

Castro would want any
money for those sick women

a reference to the fact that
ransom was paid for the Bay

The women will seek APP

Kennedy, Attorney General
Robert Kennedy, Florida
Congressman Paul Rogers
and William Cramer, State
Department Latin American

Ter told him she had to have
someone to talk to.
After her visit with the
President, Mrs. Miller said,
1T is a real thrill to be able
to meet the President-you
never think you'll have an
opportunity like that"

The Millers then went on
a private tour of the White
House.
Among those in the group

They particularly seek help
from the worlds prominent

concern.
Letters
They have written to such
women as Queen Elizabeth II

Latin American First Ladies.
In this country they have
written to Mrs. John F. Ken

Pauls letter TO the Corinthians
he wrote. 'Ye are Gods hus-
bandTy,' that is. Gods titled
soil. He also wrote that God.
the Spirit, had planted some
thing in the soil which would
produce several varieties of
fruit: love, joy, peace, long
suffering. kindness, goodness,
faith. meekness, and self-con-
troll. Let's ask ourselves. How
does my garden grow" To get
the correct answer, we must
observe it row by row and
plant by plant. Love is planted
on the first row. With love
planted in our soil we are able
to restrain from evil doing. for
love Covereth multitude of
sins. Just beyond love is JOY.
Joy fills the heart and makes
happiness. Planted IN the ad-
Joining row is peace, which
gives rest and quietness to
those who have peace with God.
In the next row is long-suffcr-
ing. Our Master is an example
Of patience and long-suffcring.
Just beyond is kindness. Just
word of kindness will put
brightness and joy into the day.
Next, we see that rare fruit
called faith. Paul said, 4 have
kept the faith 1t takes a
little effort for most of us to
see and appreciate the next
fruit. 1t is meekness. which is
the opposite of self-ambition,
pride, and selfishness. Last of
all is the valuable fruit, self
control. Self-control is the
mark of a strong child of God
who has the ability to control
himself under all circum-
stances"

fruits. Do men gather grapes
of thorns, or figs of thistleS?
Even so every good tree bring

evil fruit" Matt. 7:16,17.
