A QUESTION OF PARACHUTES Airliners continue to carry no parachutes for passen- gers and many private craft, flying all over the United States, carry no parachutes whatsoever for occupants. hia is a custom which hes built up over the years and it is doubtful whether any drive to force the airlines to pro- vide passengers with parachutes can be successful at this stage. Nevertheless, it is interesting to speculate on the possibility of saving lives through the use of parachutes in recent air crashes. Some commercial] airline tragedies in recent years have occurred when planes collided, or when a passenger airliner was disabled in flight and crashed attempting to get to a nearby field. In these in- stances, the passengers were not able to jump out of the plane, since no parachutes were provided them. On the other hand, two military planes collided at | 15,000 feet altitude recently and seven of the fourteen persons aboard were rescued after parachuting out of the *flanes. The two plands craghed into the ocean off the coast of California and it is believed none would have sur- vived if they had remained in the planes. Had this crash involved a commercial] airliner and a fighter plane, instead of a B-29 bomber and a fighter-plane, it is probable that all the passengers in the commercial airliner would have been killed, There are many other instances in which a good case i can be made for the mandatory provision of parachutes | for passengers on commercial airliners. A good case can also be made for seats facing to the rear, science has prov- ed that the human body can stand greater shocks and | survive if the impact is taken on the backbone rather than by the face and chest and forward part of the body. Of cqurse, if passengers are forced to wear para- chutes or are given instructions in parachute usage before take-offs, it will temporarily frighten some passengers away from the airlines. Whether this disadvantage is| enough to outweigh the possible advantages in the use of | parachutes, better flying safety regulations and better | seating arrangements for safety purposes is a question |” that the American citizen must decide. Self-righteous people often owe their reputations to the lack of temptations.

"an eos Charm, Wii FEATURE IN MONTHLY MAG DEPLORES END OF “ATMOSPHERE” Key West is the subject of a ading article in the monthly ma- gazine “Americas” May issue pub- lished at the Pan American Union in Washington, With a dozen photographs the “Letter from Key West” by Wal- lace B. Alig, reviews familiar his- tory about the southernmost city and winds up with the ever-recur- ring fear about the future of Key West in this way: | “There is little reason why the original atmosphere could not be preserved by well-managed city planning and building regula- tions, To date, however, there is ne organized movement toward | that end. At the same time, it is | true that prosperity has brought | everyone on the an op- portunity to make a living, some- thing that critics should keep in mind. But the situation is a vici- ous circle. Too much commercia- lism is destroying the attractions that lure the visitor here. The goose laying the golden eggs seems well on the way te the block.” Alig is expressing the sentiments | time Key West visitor back in 19-| 35, and more recently by Richard Rovere, Washington correspondent for The New Yorker magaine. The dean of American radio and | the magaine writer 17 years later both expressed concern that the city’s quality was giving way to) drive-ins. They maintained that by making Key West a tourist resort, thus bringing prosperity to the once impoverished island, commercial- ism has supplanted the oldish and} charm. Alig puts it thus in this most re- cent article: “But although Key West is tast- ing the fruits of success, to many an old timer the flavor is bitter. The old town has suddenly become too small for the strangers flocking through it. The Navy, in fact, has pumped up marl from the sea to} build additional land for its in-| stallations. And over what was for- merly an esthetic escapist retreat! hangs a pall of commercialism and PA&ilistinism. For éxample, the Cu- ban coffee shops are disappearing Up until a few years ago, all local quent small cups. Mainland mora- | lity, too, has imposed restrictions | on local enthusiasm for the Cuban | lottery, which until recently flow in Havana. Key Westers followed the results on their radios. i and soda fountains are substituting the hamburger and french fries for arroz con pollo and enchiladas; the milik- shake an dhot dog for the long time favorite ‘grunts (a kind of fish,) grits and gravy.’ What is typical commands higher pri- ces. Lime pie, for example, a Key) lable only for twenty-five cents extra on most dinner menus.
