...administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency under President Kennedy, former Test Pilot Najeeb Halaby endeared himself to private flyers by hopping all over the nation for airport talkfests about their problems. His yen to be where the action is led him to fly to the scene of nearly every commercial air crash. One day he learned that sky divers might endanger air traffic. Characteristically, Halaby parachuted himself, pronounced diving great sport-then called for restrictions...
...compounded by new "superjets" like Boeing's 460-passenger 747. By carrying more people, jumbos should reduce the total number of planes in the air.

...tapped by Kennedy as Internal Revenue Commissioner at a salary of $21,500, Mortimer Caplin was earning $50,000 a year in his tax law practice; since returning to private life more than a year ago, he has built up an income that "runs into six figures." Last week Najeeb Halaby, a onetime Navy test pilot who resigned last July after four years as administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency ($30,000 a year), was elected a senior vice president and board member of Pan American World Airways at $60,000 a year, plus a $35,000 year-end bonus...
