DC-6 Planes Are Grounded Pending Probe Of Fires

BY CHARLES CORDDRY United Press Aviation Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. (UP)—Virtually all Douglas DC-6 passenger planes were grounded today until investigation can turn up the causes of two fires in flight in less than three weeks. The Douglas Aircraft Co. recommended that the $65,000,000 fleet of four-engine transports, including President Truman's personal plane, the Independence, be temporarily withdrawn from service until all possible fire hazards can be eliminated. Coincident with the manufacturer's recommendation, four airlines—United, American, Braniff and National—announced independently that they were grounding their DC-6's and substituting other ships wherever possible. Among them the three lines operate about 80 of the approximately 93 DC-6's thus far delivered. Early today there had been no word from Pan American-Grace Airways and Sabena, the Belgian line, as to whether they would follow the recommendation on removing the 52-passenger ships from service. Follows Fire The grounding recommendation followed two mysterious in-flight DC-6 with a fire aboard made an emergency landing at Gallup, N.M., yesterday without injury to any of the 47 occupants. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The investigation of the New Mexico mishap, now under way, may shed some light on the fire that sent a United Airlines DC-6 crashing in flames in Bryce Canyon, Utah, on Oct. 24, killing all persons aboard. The civil aeronautics board is now holding public hearings on the Utah crash. While the cause still is unknown, a number of safety precautions for DC-6's had been ordered by the government prior to the temporary grounding. Big-Plane Precedent The 300-mile-an-hour transports provide luxurious, extra-fare service. American flies about 41 of them across the United States and to Mexico. United uses about 35 on transcontinental routes and to Hawaii. National operates about four between New York and the South. While there were certain to be disruptions in service, the airlines planned as far as possible to substituted twin-engine Douglas DC-3's and four-engine Douglas DC-4's on the grounded planes' schedules. A civil aeronautics official emphasized today that "no government action was involved" in the suspension of service. "It was an entirely voluntary action on the part of the airlines. They withdrew the planes from service in keeping with the highest standards of safety," he said. Douglas Comments Donald W. Douglas, builder of the DC-6, said in Santa Monica, Cal., that "flying of these planes should be discontinued" until the causes of the two fires are known and eliminated. "There can be no consideration greater than that of safety," he said, promising that "every resource and expert of the company will be placed at the disposal of the airlines." The heater which American Airlines indicated had given trouble in the Gallup ship is located in the passenger cabin, where the wing joins the fuselage. It is part of an elaborate air conditioning system which the industry has regarded as a distinctive feature of the ship. National Airlines President G. T. Baker said in Miami that his line had not used the system, believing it needs "further modification."

Pruitt Takes Stand Against Consolidation

William J. Pruitt, who recently announced his candidacy for State Senator, today took a forthright stand against the proposed Dade County-Miami consolidation, on which the voters will pass at next May's primaries. Passage of the referendum making Miami and Dade County one, would be tantamount to "giving our government away," said the Miami office-seeker. "This change would have to be by an amendment to the State Constitution," he said, "and if at any time it became necessary to change to local government again, we would be at the mercy of the state at large, due to the necessity of another amendment for the change back." Other points against which Pruitt, a practicing Miami attorney since 1927, took positive stands were the sales tax, the transaction tax and the gross receipt tax. "The next session of the Legislature," warned Pruitt, "should give first consideration to taking whatever precautionary measures are necessary to prevent South Florida from again being flooded." Also, he said, the financial problems of our municipalities should receive all possible assistance by the next legislature.

Clark Refused Offer Of Three Million For Tract Now Offered at Auction

(Continued from Page One) ership. The original plan for municipal development called for the creation of a huge recreation center, including a stadium to seat 60,000, a swimming pool and a track large enough to meet Olympic game standards. Start of condemnation proceedings was ordered in the fall of 1944, when the decided Clark was uninterested in city offers to purchase the tract and in November of that year Miami asked aid of the Federal Works Administration in the entire development, which was estimated at $3,885,000. Harn in 1945 Clark visited Miami in February, 1945, to fight the city move. He told the press he had bought the land in 1922 or '23, had paid taxes on it ever since, and was not interested in selling. Further opposition arose the same month when Mayor Thomas C. Mayes of Coral Gables declared a recreation center at the entrance to that city would depreciate Gables land values. In the fall of 1945 the Miami City Commission directed that condemnation action be pressed and that plans be made for the construction of a stadium that would be ready by the 1947 football season. Alternate Site A few weeks after preliminary condemnation steps had been argued in court A. B. Curry, then Miami city manager, suggested that an available site on N. W. Seventh St. be considered in lieu of the Clark tract. Then on Dec. 1, 1945, attorneys for Clark filed an answer to the condemnation suit in which it was charged use of the tract was not needed by the city and that the suit be dismissed. Three weeks later the Miami commission decided the property was too valuable for use as a stadium site and voted that the city drop condemnation steps and then devote its attention to the site on N. W. Seventh St. between Douglas and Le Jeune Roads. Miami later decided to enlarge the present stadium. Final action on the part of the city was taken in January, 1946, when the city commission formally repealed the resolution that had started the condemnation steps. With the move to settle the Clark estate, the Joseph P. Day firm plans to offer the tract in acreage segments and as a whole.

Methodist Church Board Maps Education Plans

The Board of Education of the Coral Gables Methodist Church held its regular meeting last night in the Youth Division of the Education Building. Mr. W. T. Edwards, chairman of the board, presided. This was the first board of education meeting since the arrival of A. Glenn Waters, newly appointed director of religious education for the church. Waters spoke briefly to the board members concerning their duties and responsibilities as related to the educational program of the church. Among other business, the board gave special attention to laying plans for a Church School-Home Visitation campaign. This program is a part of a nation-wide visitation program into the homes of inactive Methodists and unchurched people, seeking to increase church school enrollment and attendance.

Youth Show Is Slated By WBAY, Riviera-Times

Next Saturday afternoon, Nov. 15, is the date when teen-age entertainers take to the airwaves to join such stars as disc jockey-bandsman Clyde Lucas and hillbilly artist Smilin' Sammy Fife to present Youth on Parade. The time is to be 12:15 and it's all for the benefit of the Coral Gables Youth Center. Youthful talent for the show, which inaugurates a regular series of Saturday broadcasts over radio station WBAY, will be taken from the Follies of '48 and Jacqueline May will be the master of ceremonies. The broadcast will come direct from the Coral Theater. There'll be a multitude of prizes donated by the merchants of this city. The Riviera-Times is joining with radio station WBAY in backing the program, because this paper fully realizes the importance of the Youth Center to everyone in the community, young and old alike. The Youth Center needs $20,000 to carry on its magnificent work in the year 1948. Donations of $5.00 or more will be handed directly over to the Youth Center. Telegraph and telephone pledges for the initial broadcast will be taken during the show. Just call in and pledge as much as you can. And at 10:30, two hours before the noon hour show, WBAY will broadcast from the Youth Center a blow by blow description of a boxing match between a couple of bantam weights. This fight will be photographed by newsreel cameramen and televised by NBC.

Andy Gump And Family Make Trip To Coral Gables

The one word that describes cartoonist Gus Edson to a T-square is genial. Gus is as friendly and un-arty as you're likely to meet. In keeping with this, however, he pens the adventures of the Gumps which started November 3 in The Daily Riviera-Times, while tilted far back in a chair, puffing on a cigar. In his New York office, or a drawing board in his lap, feet propped high on the table he uses for a desk. He works, according to his own testimony, "nine days a week." To those who know him, Gus' air of indolence is a sham. Actually, he's a very busy guy. He holds citations from the War Department for his wartime work on war bond posters; he heads up a group of New York artists who entertain wounded veterans around the "purple heart circuit." And he puts in those nine days a week on his Daily and Sunday Gumps strip. Add to this the time he must necessarily take to provide "free art" and autographs for Andy Gump fans and you begin to realize that this cartoonist's lot is not a happy one — in terms of man-hours, at least! Expelled from School Edson made an inauspicious debut into the world of art. He was politely ejected from art school for a certain something known in baseball as having no stuff on the ball. Then, just to prove he wasn't as bad as he painted, he volunteered for the army in the last war. Significantly or not, World War I came to an abrupt end four months after his enlistment. After that year he had lived variously in Cincinnati, Pensacola and New York. When he came out of the army he determined to redeem himself as an artist. So he put in a short redeeming period at the Art Students' League in New York City. Finding the academic life a bit stuffy, he took a job as sports cartoonist with the late lamented New York Graphic. Little if anything in common, Gus notified the editor, legendary Paul Gallico, that he was submitting two months' notice. Gauvreau, Gus recalls, jumped in his chair, threw an arm toward and thundered, "Two months? By God, you can quit right now!" So he did. Came a long period of free-lancing, "free-lunching," Gus calls it now, reflectively. Did Magazine Illustrations He did magazine illustrations, mostly, when he could wangle a job at all. A few months of this and Gus decided that the free-lance life was not for him. A steady stint doing sports cartoons for the New York Post put him back in the "eating regular" class. Then he clicked with a syndicated feature titled "Here's How," depicting scientific oddities a la Ripley. Then came his first big break. The fast-growing New York News was holding a contest for a sports cartoonist. Gus submitted some drawings which attracted the attention of the News' publisher. He was invited to visit the office of the publisher, the late Captain Joseph M. Patterson, whose informality was as charming as it was disarming. No Contract Necessary "You know," he told Gus. "You can begin right away. "How about a contract?" asked Edson, unaccustomed to such a casual way of doing business. "Contract?" repeated the publisher, puzzled. "What do you want a contract for? I haven't got a contract here." "You don't have to have one," came back the unabashed Edson, "you own the place!" Whereupon Patterson smiled, rang for his secretary, and had an agreement drawn up on the spot. That incident marked the beginning of Edson's long association with his present syndicate. It led to his second big break — the opportunity to carry on the Gumps in place of Sydney Smith who met untimely death in an automobile accident. Edson won the strip in competition with several other topnotch artists who had been invited to try out. Now after 11 years under the pen of Edson, Andy Gump remains one of America's best loved comic characters. And it is Edson's consuming desire to keep him that way. Besides guiding the affairs of Andy, Min, Chester and the rest of the Gumps, Edson has a flesh-and-blood family of his own to provide for. In true Gump tradition, his wife, two sons and a daughter keep things humming at the Edson home in Stamford, Conn ecticut. Recently, when the UN considered taking over the Stamford site for its permanent headquarters, Gus was disturbed not in the least: "If giving up my home will make even an infinitesimal contribution toward world peace — I'm all for breaking up housekeeping right now." And he meant exactly that. That personality never arrived, however, and Edson still commutes daily (as rapidly as the speed laws allow) between Stamford and his New York studio. He has a host of friends among professional people in New York. Walking down 42nd street with him is a handshaking experience—and no wonder. You couldn't know a nicer guy.

FHA ARCHITECTS and builders often perform "miracles" in improving older homes. And in these days wher the demand for new homes is greater than the supply, many families are deciding not to move from their present homes. Instead, they are repaving, replanning, redecorating and bringing their homes up to date for far less than a new home would cost. Practically any kind of property improvement can be financed on the FHA Pay-out-of-Income Plan. Repayment is made in convenient monthly installments suited to the borrower's income over periods up to 3 years. FHA rates are low-$5 discount per $100 per year. No down-payment is required. Why not let your architect or builder give you an estimate of the cost of the alterations needed? Then let us show you how you can finance the work on the FHA Plan.
