Alvin F. Oien, 59, was hopping his single-engine Cessna from Portland, Ore., to San Francisco last March 11 when he crashed. Remarkably, no one was killed: Oien was cut up, an arm and some ribs broken; his wife, Phyllis, 44, had a broken arm and ankle, and his stepdaughter, Carla Corbus, 15, was badly bruised.

Outgoing chrome is usually labeled South African as well and is bought in large quantities by the Japanese. Not long ago, says the Sunday Times, 20,000 tons of chrome ore arrived in Tokyo from "South Africa," and for the 27th time in six months the British embassy lodged a protest with the Japanese government. This time they backed their arguments with an ore sample stolen from dockside and chemically analyzed to prove its Rhodesian origin. The Japanese coolly replied that...
