...money. The extras he is offered-a couple of free drinks, a slightly more elegant meal, a bit more leg room, a bigger choice of periodicals and. with luck, a movie he hasn't yet seen-are apt to cost him a third more than the regular coach fare, get him to his destination no more quickly than the people sitting in the less prestigious rows behind him. So complained United Air Lines President William A. Patterson in a speech last week to the Passenger Traffic Association of New York, in which he urged the airline industry to adopt...

...second problem is the choice of mosquito control methods. Like most U.S. cities, St. Petersburg has been doused to a fare-thee-well with DDT, but some mosquitoes survived and multiplied. Spraying kills adult insects but usually not their eggs. The only way to get completely rid of them is to destroy their breeding places. Finally, the city authorities are trying to do just that by cleaning up yards and empty lots, getting rid of old tin cans, coconut husks and automobile tires, and everything else capable of holding stagnant water...

...leaders, charged with disorderly conduct and creating a disturbance, were locked up in four of the Albany area jails. Some fasted-perhaps after glancing at the prison fare of cornbread, beans, greens and fat back. By week's end, all but 19 ministers were released on $200 bond and went home...
