But he got leave of absence - and was flying !i twin engine bomber tor Indonesian insurgents. Allen Pope - shot down 1n an air raid over the Mollucaa. Made prisoner - now to be court-martialed. At Jakarta, today, u · s Ambassador Howard Jones expressed regret - that an American soldier or tortune waa ny1ng tor the rebels. But he said - he was • cont1dent that this will not impair improving relations n between Indonesia . and the United States. Today, by the way, the Indonesian govemment adllitted - it has received a couJle ot jet tightera trom Soviet Rusia. Two Miga - at least. CEYLON ~ wfld rioting - on the island of Ceylon. A score ' of lives lost - in bitter street fighting in the city of Colombo. The trouble - between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. The former - the original inhabitants of Ceylon. The Tamils - late-comers from India. Nearly a third of the people of the island are Tamils - and they demand that their . language be made official, L along with Sinhalese. Which would 11&ke Ceylon .,{ bilingual country. At last reports, the mili~ary forces were entorclng a truce - between the two •bittered factions. AVIATION Three trana-continental ' super skyways ' ordered by the Civil Aeronautics Board 1n Washington, today. Three "freeways of the air" f'rom the Atlantic to the Pacific - to go into operation on June Fifteenth. la An extensive measure - to avoid aerial collisions. Like those disasters - when military jets ran into passenger airlines. The "super akyways · , to be forty miles wide, at altitudes from seventeen to twenty-two thousand feet. Within . ' that aerial space - all aircraft w1Il be under ground control. Monitored - from the ground. So there'll be at least a thousand feet vertically, and ten minutes flying tlme horlzantal - - between one plane and any other. No planes - ever_, enter the "freeways or the air" without permission from the ground. In those lanes, pilots won't fly - •rely by eyesight. Instructions from the ground - keeping aircraft spaced and well apart, AVIATION - 2 Three "super skyways" two or which will be right across the continent. The Northem freeway - linking New York with San Francisco. The southem route - New York and Los Angeles. Each - having spurs connecting with Washington. A third will pro\tie lanes connecting with a series or u large cities. Other similar akywaya - to be laid out. Five eventually, we hear - t'rolll coast to c~UllllB flying. A , PRESBYTERIANS met at a In Pittsburgh t d t , o ay, wo long columns of churchmen ~~~ street corner ~ the University of Pittsburgh. The two columns - having marched from two churches, where meetings had been held. When they met, they mingled · - twelve hundred m1nistere and elders. Thereby symbolizing - a reunion or two branches or the Presbyterian Church. One - the Presbyterian chprch 1n the United States or America. The other - the United Presbyterian , separated / Church of North America. The two - having/\1•c,11t,~back 1n Scotland, a couple or hundred years ago. The Scottish Presbyterian Church, 1n the Eighteenth Century - split in two. Because or a dispute over the naming ministers. Should a Congregation choose its own pastor.f? Or should the Minister be "presented" by a noble patron. A burning question_ long ago 1n Scotland. Now - forgotten. But the split continued - right on to our own time. The two Presbyterian churches - k~eping separate here PR~BYTERIANS - 2 1n the United States. Reuniting only now - after cor.ferencea at Pittsburgh. The new body to be called - the United Presbyterian church in the United States. There still remain d1v1s1ona;fhe Southern Presbyterian church remaining separate. Continuing a split - which began at the time of our American Civil War. GIRL - In Rome, Patricia Ginelll, twentyptwo years old, is a young woman of much propriety - as modest as a girl should be. She was at the beach, near Rome, where she decided - she'd have a sun-bath. In what the British call - th& altogether. She went about it 1n a discreet way - observing all due decorum. Picking a place in a dense thicket - where nobody would see her. 'lbere Patricia Glnelli was getting- that over al 1 tan. But someobyd did see her - a man. Some fellow - prowling around 1n the thicket. Sounds bad~- -.tl\- waa worse! Some Roman-out hutning, with a shotgun. Loaded - with small pellets, suitable for shooting birds. He caught a glimpse of Patricia, and thought she w a s ~ a quail. Blazing away - with pretty good aim. - Don - Today, in a hospital · ,A the doctors were picking bird-shot out of Patricia's back. The 110dest young l a d y ~ llntds got more than a sun tan. . . BAHAMAS In the Bahamas, two islands, virtually drowned out. Flooded - by a three day deluge of tropical rain. · On the small island of Exuma, one hundred and Ila seventy miles south of Nassau, more than eighteen inches of rain - fell from Friday to Sunday. Same inundation - at nearby Cat Island. Houses flooded, communications disrupted - an epidemic reared. Noah should have been there. He'd have thought he was back 1n his own biblical deluge.
