Woman Flies Atlantic,
But Barely Makes 1t

LONDON, May 4 (AP).-
Barbara Kiernan flew the At
lantic today, lost her way, and
almost ran out of gas.
She wound up 900 miles from
her int en- d e d destination
Shannon. Ireland and her
light plane had just enough
fuel left to last 10 minutes.
A divorced mother of four
from Andover. Mass, Mrs.
Kiernan was fe rrying the plane
to a London air show with a
co-pilot, William Stetson of
Miami.
Out of radio contact. they
resigned themselves to ditching
in the ocean when looming
through the murk was the run
way of Sumburgh airport, in
the remote Shetland Islands off
the Scotland coast.
Mrs. Herman and Mr.. Stet-
son had been plagued by equip
ment failure and bad weather
during the second half of the
flight by way of Gander, New
foundland.
Comely Mrs. Herman told an
interviewer in her hotel room

Mrs. Herman said If they
had missed their lucky landfall
in the Shetlands there was
nothing left but open sea until
Norway, hundreds of miles
away.
Mrs. Herman, who is in her
40's, said her children range
in age from II to 81.
She has been a licensed pilot
since 1852, and is a former

farm products in the tariff cut
ting.
France, traditionally, a high
tariff country, is much less
eager to make a deal. When it
comes to farm products, France
wants to increase sale of its
surpluses within the Common
Market and shut out the
United States as much as pos
Sible.
For the Brussels meeting
West Germany gives first place
to the need for reaching an
agreement among the six mem
bers on a policy for the Geneva
talks.
French Want Quick Pact
Point No. 2 in the German
proposal is to set up a system

In general, reaction to the

the Minibus and then tried to
find out a little bit more
about 1t.
There is nothing like 1t
anywhere. 1t was not devel-
oped by the big automobile
boys, like General Motors, but
by a small concern called the
Passenger Truck Equipment
Co. of Huntington Park, Calf.
1t was pieced together from
automobile parts and is
designed, according to the
experts, strictly for internal

search for some article which

those tired, irritable people
who are just trying TO get
home, for 25 cents, In the

The Rambler looked up the
inventor OF the bus-to get
Minibus in perspective-and
found, In one source, he was
a Frenchman named Blaise
Pascal. He introduced a large
wagon OF some kind in 1861,
in Paris. He was also the
inventor OF the pushcart, &C.
cording TO this encyclopedia
The wagons use was
strangely restricted TO the
poor and after l6 years II
was abandoned. Then, In

The
Rambler
Rides
A Minibus
BY JOHN McKELWAY

At Eleventh and F, The
Rambler thought he saw a
Minibus.
1t bumped lightly by. It
appeared to be almost square
with something like an
awning on top and then 1t
shuffled east and lost itself
in the traffic. The Rambler
could not remember seeing
any wheels, nor we're there
any choking fumes in its
wake.
1t had something of the
charm of a Model T, or the
bonneville Trolley, or a
steam engine. And the price
of a ride had been announced
as five cents!
The Rambler got himself
up to a bus stop at Twelfth
and F and waited for the
latest advance in the field
of automotive engineering
even later than the great
mobile lounges of Dulles air
port.
During the wait, in the
snow, as some pigeons cooed
happily in the warmth Of a
shoe stores lights, The Ram
bier tried to think Of what
else he could buy with a
nickel. There's not much left.
After a while, the Minibus
arrived with a few people
aboard. There is one long
seat running along the sides
and back of the bus. 1t can
seat 10 and IL can stand.
The fare box Is on the right
as you step in and dropping
in a nickel was rather
pleasant.
The trip was slow and easy.
The windows are wide and
you can get views Of F street
and watch the faces in the
crowd.

said the regulation mo doubt"
needs some strengthening.
Their views we're among
those from various District
agencies made public today by
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner. The report was packed
with suggestions for reducing
crime here and represented a
summary Of those made at
public hearings in each OF the
IA police precincts.
The anti-loitering regulation
was one of the major dis
cuSsion points at the hearings.
Suggestions were heard fop
more publicizing and more
vigorous enforcement.
Parents Are Notified
Under the regulation apply
ing to juveniles lettering on
the streets between 10 pm.
and 5 am. they are warned
the first time and their parents
notified. The second time, the
parents are called in for con-
Sultation and told the third
time a violation occurs within
a 12-month period. action will
be brought against them. In
that case. parents would be
charged with violating the
anti-loitering regulation and
subject to 80 days in Jail or
a $500 fine or both.
Deputy Police Chief John E.
Winters, head Of the Youth
Aid Division, said recently the
law needed sharper teeth. He
felt the warning should suffice
for the first time. but parents
should be taken to court the
second time their children were
found lettering.
Chief Murray in his report
noted that the requirement Of
three violations within a year
before court action could be
taken may give enforcement
efforts the appearance Of be-
ing less than vigorous"
| Judge Miller expressed reser-
vations as to expansion Of the
regulation, commenting that
based on our experience with
the ordinance. we see more rea-
son for its recision." He ex-
planned to a reporter that the
courts experience had not
shown the law to be effective.
Ordinance Needs Publicity
The Commissioners Council
on Human Relations also saw
no need for strengthening the
ordinance, but agreed 1t should
be more widely publiciZed.
Strict enforcement should be
applied with care in order not
to restrict activities Of the large
majority Of young people who
are innocent Of anti-social in
tent, 1t added.
Racial considerations in po-
lice assignments and the use
Of police dogs we're among
