Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - March 3, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa Them pleasant news Section one 2 sections vol. 92, no. 52 it. Pleasant Iowa tuesday evening March 3, 1970 Price to cents colder these Days by John Chamberlain the Domestic jumbo jets Are Here. The new world of the jumbo jets has been with us for More than a month insofar As International flights Are concerned with pan american a big Money loser at the end of 1969, getting first off the Mark. Now with the coming of March the Era of the Domestic jumbo Jet is Here. It will change the american skies in beneficial ways but the big question is what it will do to the highways a which More and More shrink to the comparative size of medieval alleys a in the Urban world below that feeds the airports. Of course there Are the claims and counter claims for the Honor of Domestic flight pioneering. Twa being both a foreign and a Domestic Carrier got the technical drop on the main Domestic airlines by shifting a huge Boeing 747 it had ostensibly bought for transoceanic use to the log Angeles Kennedy run. By the time this column appears the first commercial transcontinental 747 flight carrying some 340 passengers will presumably be history. Boeing the provider of the jumbos had Quot slotted its deliveries of the 747 to serve the overseas carriers first which was in accordance both with priority of orders and considerations of . International prestige. This gave Twa an inadvertent Domestic advantage. Too american airlines which is get sting into the australian run at a future Date but does no to need Jum bos at least just yet for that hop cd to beat Twa in the Domestic los Angeles Kennedy service by leasing a 747 from pan american the company won t get its own 747s, built to its own special passenger area configurations until june but expects to have ten by the end of the year by offering an Early announcement of its inaugural flight for today March 2, american let Twa counter punch with a Date for the end of february. The Competition is Good natured and the important thing is that the jumbo gets advertised. Its going to be Lovely aloft. The tube shape effect of the plane Interior is lost for inside the 747 the passengers a seventy in1 the first class As set Forth by american and some three Hundred in coach service a will be Able to stand up at full height All the Way to the windows. American has a taken the Kitchen out of the living room a by placing its food galleys on a deck below the passenger settings. Elevator service carries the food a a upstairs a a where it is taken by service carts to the passengers along two separate parallel aisles the settings Are 3-4-2 in the coach Section 2-2-q in one of the first class sections. The fourteen Cabin employees we be headed by a a management Man a a sort of captains stand in not a Stra Boss who will be on hand to make suggestions and receive complaints a and maybe be Quick to forestall potential hijackers. The real social interest in the jumbo however comes in its relations to the world below. The Good thing about the jumbo is that it will enable an airline to substitute one new flight for two old flights. Assuming that bigger runways Are ready this will mean less pressure on the flight controllers who set the approach schedules. There should be less circling around before Landing. With one flight taking the place of two the stress of loading and unloading the passengers shifts to the baggage claims and Gate area departments. Though there Are More people per plane Emp Laning and de planing will be easier because of wider doors both at the boarding Gate and on the plane it negro school buses attacked by mob Lamar . Up a a White i get the students out unharmed. Mob attacked three school buses loaded with negro children at newly desegregated Lamar High school today. Patrolmen used tear Gas to Rescue students moments before the Whites overturned two of the buses.

A third bus carrying 15 negroes then pulled up and the mob attacked it fighting simultaneously with Highway patrolmen trying to protect the buses.
