Airlines seek better control of luggage
UPI reports World Wide Baggage Week urged by ATA to reduce mishandled baggage. U.S. and foreign airlines carried 125 million pieces of luggage for 95 million passengers in 1965. Combating mixups, travelers should tag bags, remove old destination tags, and carry inside identifiers. ARCH system speeds recovery by three days, with teletype and data matching to locate misdirected luggage. Travelers should contact the last airline immediately with detailed luggage descriptions.
