Crash Poses Dilemma
A plane crash that brought death to 16 members of a
college football team has brought members of a house judi¬
ciary subcommittee face to face with an emotion-charged
problem.
The crash, which occurred Oct 29, 1960, in Toledo, Ohio,
resulted in the deaths of 22 persons, including the members
of the California Polytechnic College team.
The chartered Arctic-Pacific Air Lines plane crashed
shortly after takeoff in a heavy fog as the result of what civil
aeronautics board investigators said was "utter disregard"
of federal air safety regulations by pilot Donald Chesher,
who was among those killed.
None of the 26 injured survivors nor the families of the
dead passengers has received any compensation. Arctic-
Pacific Inc., has gone out of business, and the company's
insurance carrier, Lloyds of London, says it is not responsible
because the company had violated its contract by allowing
unsafe conditions.
Congressman John H. Rousselot (R) of California has
introduced a bill to seek federal relief of $350,000 for each
of the crash victims.
Should the federal government be responsible for air acci¬
dents? This is being investigated by a judiciary claims sub¬
committee in current hearings.
Al Marinai, a husky Cal Poly football player crippled by
injuries in the crash, hobbled to the witness chair with the
help of a cane.
"One day you're playing football," he told the sober faced
committee members. 'The next day they want to cut your
legs off."
Then he passed around pictures of his dead teammates
and of the young families some of them left behind.
It was in this atmosphere that the committee heard testi¬
mony on the relief bill, which it must now face in the privacy
of an executive session.
Human decency is wonderful, but it is inconsistent. This
action comes to late. Now the wives and children left by the
deceased are being supported by new husbands. They have
been given much chanty already. Some people are beginning
to wonder when it will stop. Other crashes similar to the
Cal Poly case have occurred, and relief didn't come to the
rescue.
Approving the bill might open the flood gates to more such
demands from victims of air crashes. To reject it might lead
to charges that committee members were unsympathetic
toward the innocent victims of the crash.
The choice is an uncomfortable one.
We Commend ...
The California Teachers Association, representing most of
the. teachers in the State, has reasserted a strong, and we
think sound and responsible, position against strikes as
instruments for solving the economic and professional prob¬
lems of teachers.
That teachers do have problems we fully realize, as does
CTA. The advancement of professional objectives does not
always follow an easy course. In this light, we find it a
wonderful demonstration of basic responsibility that so large
a segment of the teaching profession in California says
unreservedly that the teacher's single loyalty is to children,
and that the growing process does not stop while the teacher
is on the picket line.
That is the CTA concept of teacher loyalty. We think it
reflects a prime sense of what is right for the teacher, the
public and most of all for the child.

Circulate Petition
Fresno City College Students Dissatisfied
With Fresno State's Summer Program
A petition circulated by Fresno City College students and
bearing 1,441 signatures, will be presented to the Fresno
City School Board of Education tomorrow in the City College
Library.
The petition requests that a summer session be inaug¬
urated at the college.
The group is led by Darel Sparling, who listed the following
reasons why a summer session is needed at the school:
Many lower division courses needed by Fresno City College
students are not. offered' at Fresno State summer sessions.
An expensive facility is standing unused and maintained
by the taxpayer for three months each year.
Students who otherwise would be unemployed with nothing
to do would be given the opportunity to continue their
education.
Many students could more rapidly complete their college
requirements.
Summer session courses would permit a more profitable
use of leisure time by the general public as well as the stu¬
dents.
Closing the Fresno City College for the summer is not
appropriate for a rapidly changing technological society.
And tuition at Fresno State College is more expensive than
at Fresno City College and beyond the financial means of
many students. -  ^^

Marriage-minded men and wo>
men are seeking two things In
marriage, according to psycholo¬
gical studies; one, to continue
satisfactions of ramlly life that
we had as children; two, lo malta
up In marriage for what we
missed as youngsters. Thus a girl
whose successful father was too
busy to pay much attention to hei
will look for an equally success¬
ful husband who will also provide
the loving attention she missed.
A boy whose mother was Indul¬
gent but weak will probably Beek
an equally indulgent, but strong¬
er, wife.
