LIQUOR IN U.S. AIRLINERS
CREWS SEEK BAN (Rec. 8 p.m.) WASHINGTON. June 5. Acting on the complaints of pilots and stewardesses, a Congressional subcommittee today approved a bill to ban the serving of liquor on airliners in the United States. One stewardess told of having to retreat to the Pilots’ cabin to escape the advances of a drunk passenger. Another spoke of a drunken woman passenger who tried to take off her clothes. _A third said a man kept dropping his cigarette on the upholstery She insisted that he put it out to prevent a fire. He did put it out — in her palm. The Civil Aeronautics Board, which regulates airlines, could ban the setving of liquor on flights without new legislation if it felt such a move was necessary to improve safety. So far it has found no need for such action Not many United States airlines would be affected by the ban. Onlv six of the 47 domestic airlines serve liquor and two other lines serve wine only.
