GOP Congressman Offers Advice DALLAS, Tex. (INS) Republicans, here's some homespun advice on how to win an election in a Democrat-dominated area — or vice-versa. Bruce Alger, a Dallas real estate man who became the first Republican ever elected to Congress from Dallas county, said this is how it was done. \- “Prayer and an organization of party and precinct workers that worked hard. "Television and my morning coffee hours during which I talked with the women of Dallas County. “Hand-shaking, from the top to the bottom of office buildings and in shopping centers. “I just spoke my peace.” Cards First NEW YORK (INS) — Playing cards rank among the oldest printed matter on earth. Block-printed playing cards were in use all over Europe by 1400. more than half a century before the Gutenberg Bible was printed. Spy Hysteria PARIS (INS) — Polish exile sources in Paris reported a “spy hysteria" is grapping Poland. Advices said authorities are clamping the 1950 “State Secrets Law” tighter on government administrations. and the Polish population.
I ACTRESS Ava Gardner boards a plane to Los Angeles tor Tokyo. She is on a personal appearance tour that will take her to Hong Kong, Singapore, Rome, Paris, Berlin and London. She told raporters she definitely Intends to give Frank Sinatra a divorce, but it will have to wait until she returns from Europe tn the Spring. The actress said: "Ito to no hurry to get a divorce."
Movie Stars Build Super Trailer Camp Super Village Is Being Constructed PALM SPRINGS. Cal., (INS)— A swanky million dollar trailer village financed by Hollywood movie celebrities — the only one of its kind in the world — is under construction near this plush resort town. The project — “the WaldorfAstoria of trailer camps”—4« being built with funds contributed by stockholders such as Barbara Stanwyck. Jose Ferrer. Sam Goldwyn. Ira Gershwin, Bing Crosby. Humphrey Bogart and 14 other investment • conscious movietown personalities. The idea of the jasty “blue skies" trailer project was dreamed up by producer William Perlberg who got the impression too many movie folks were sinking good money In dry oil wells. “This is a much more sound investment." he • commented, “and we think it’s such a good idea we may build similar ‘villages' all over the country.” The set-up will be nothing like any trailer camp has boasted before. The 250-unit “village,” which is being constructed on 21 and onehalf acres sis miles east of Palm Springs, will offer its guests all the comforts of a Vanderbilt mansion. Guests will have to sign leases and pay between S6O and SIOO per month “parking” privileges. But they will have telephone and television service, all utilities (underground), individual storage closets, bath facilities, picture windows and flagstone patios. They also will have pick-up and delivery service for groceries, drycleaning, etc., plus a complete shopping district and pick-up garbage service and curbed streets like any well-served city. In addition there will he a huge recreation building for table-ten-nis. shuffleboard and movies, plus a 24 by 60 foot swimming pool with cabanas in which paying guests can luxuriate just like Mr. and Mrs. Astor. Pete Petito, general manager of the project, said no trailers built earlier than 1950 will be accepted tn the village. “Most of the people,” ha added, "will be the type who drive Cadilacs and wear diamonds and mink anyway. , 'iMaay of them will be wealthy retired, business men. who are tired of the upkeep on big homes and the stress of lavish entertainment and others who just want to get away from it all." It was estimated that the majority of these easy-life lovers pay anywhere from $3,000 to $7,500 tor their swanky house - on • wheels transportation. The season extends from October to May in Palm Springs. “And then.” says Pete, “they take off for Arrowhead Springs, Lake Tahoe, or some other mountain resort tor the summer.” Architect William Cody, who designed the famed Thunderbird Country Club in Palm Springs, drew up the plans for the trailer camp with one major consideration — privacy. “These trailers." Cody said, “will have more privacy than any trailer camp dwellers have a right to dream about.” Although this type of trailer living sounds expensive, manager Petito pointed out the economy involved for this particular class of resort-followers. '.‘People who want to live for a season ip Palm Springs," he said “come down here and spend anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 for houses, upkeep, gardeners, cooks,, maids, etc. "Now," he added, “they can i come here and have the same weather, the same- good company the same privileges tor only a ' fraction of the cost." The camp in which each movie stockholder has sunk SIO,OOO . apiece, will open with k bang-up premiere Dec. 15. ’ “It won't be completely finished until spring.” Pete said, "but the first portion will be ready for occupancy on the 15th." Tho "premier" will be' a gay affair with visiting celebrities from nearby Hollywood, flood-1 lights, orchestras and general hoopla. ,- Guests will be takeu on a "$1.50 tour" of the camp which is situut-’ cd within a stone's throw of Bing Crouby'a swank rcdwood'libmc.
Pilots Blamed For Most Ak Accidents Blame Pilot Errors For Most Accidents SAN BERNARDINO, Cal. (INS) —Ab Air Force plane screams out of the sky and crashes in flaming wreckage on the ground with loss of life and high property damage. Chances are even that the accident was the result of, an error by the pilot. This is the conclusion made by the Air Force’s Flight Safety Research office at Norton Base near San Bernardino, Calif., after a study of all major and minor Air Force accidents since 195(1. The office headed by Brig. Gen. R. J. O'Keefe says that “pilot error" caused 50 percent of the accidents, supervisory errors less than 3 percent, material failure 27 percent and maintenance failure 5 percent, The balance of mishaps resulted from such things as inadequate facilities, airways difficulties, inadequate weather information and other causes. The office is gravely concerned, but not especially alarmed about “pilot error," in view of the fact that 65 percent of all commercial airline accidents in 1953 were caused by (hat factor. ' Miscues And “pilot error” itself is not too accurate a term. Actually, it ■leans miscues made by pilots, but those mistakes cannot necessarily be attributed to ptlot negligence.

Gen. O'Keefe said: “Many 'pilot error’ accidents are the direct result of environment operational demands which are In excess of a pilot’s built-in human limitations. “Medical specialists in my of* fice are oonetantly striving to disclose accident cause factors that denote a mismatching of the man and the machine. The burden is on the aircraft designer to take cognisance of his mismatching and . correct it.” Dr. Anchard F. Zeller, chief psychologist in the office, explained that today's jet aircraft make great demands on pilot and crew members. While the Hying machines are daily increased In complexity and power, nothing can be done directly to extend the pilot’s abilities proportionately. His limitations have to be circumvented. Personal problems of pilots definitely enter into their ability to fly safely. Dr. Zeller said, and "habit interference” is the name , given to some of the personal factors which intervene. The doctor said one example was a well-qualified veteran flier of World War II and the Korean War. He was bard pressed to find adequate housing for his wife and . four children when he was stationed at Hamilton Air Force Base la California. It was a matter of grave con- . cern to him and he constantly • brooded about it while keeping current on his flying assignments. Fellow pilots noticed his rundown condition and the flight surgeon had scheduled the flier for a ’ checkup on the afternoon of the . day he took his last run. " i On the final approach to the i field, the filer’s plane plunged to ■ the earth and crashed. An Investigation disclosed that 1 for no apparent reason he had * chopped the throttle about two ' miles out. 1 An autopsy revealed that he had been anemic for some time, a eon- ’ dition brought on by his neverending worry over his family’s [ plight. ( "Habit interference" was blamed for the tragedy. Information gatherede*’in the studies is being used to help mant ufacturers, instructors, physicians t and others to develop new proce- , dures and equipment along with - the new aircraft to insure greater ■ safety for America's flying fighters.
