At the capital in Jackson, Gov. Ross Barnett, who once vowed to go to jail rather than see Ole Miss integrated, blamed the disorder on the marshals.

The source of Time Magazine’s infamous article on A&M has turned up in The Texas Observer by the same author—Robert Sherrill. In the Sept. 29 issue of the Austin publication, 121^2 one-column inches are devoted to A&M in the edition’s lead story. Time’s article was clearly taken from this conglomeration, but polished considerably before going to press. The primary differences are in detail—The Observer goes into more crude incidents and prints names. Copies of the issue are available in Cushing Memorial Library. In-Flight Frolic Cut Off Engine, Probers Told WASHINGTON (^) — An air line flight engineer said Monday he saw a stewardess slip into the pilot’s lap during a flight and be lieves during this frolic she caught her spike heel in a throttle and cut off an engine. Fred W. Hazlett, of Sunland, Calif., said he had left the cock pit after seeing the girl sit on the pilot’s lap on a Western Air Lines flight some years ago. A few minutes later the plane took a dip and one engine shut down momentarily, he said. “I raced back into the cockpit and saw the stewardess standing up, adjusting her girdle,” Hazlett said. “I concluded that when she got off the pilot’s lap her high heel cut the mixture switch on one of the engines.” Two former stewardesses also told a House Government Opera tions subcommittee they had been invited by pilots to sit at the con trols and fly passenger flights as a lark. One of them, Margaret Mary Donofry of Jackson Heights, N.Y., said she flew a 60-passenger East ern Air Lines plane for 35 minutes from Atlanta, Ga., to Charlotte, N. C., where she let it down from 9,000 feet to 1,500 feet prior to landing. MSC Make Staffers Decision Thirteen TWU girls have been selected as finalists for the ’62 Aggie Sweetheart contest.
