U.S. airlines said safest
espite San Diego crash
United Press International
FORT WORTH — Despite the
recent midair collision of a private
plane and an airliner at San Diego,
Calif., U.S. airlines are still the
safest way to travel, a Federal Avi
ation Administration official said
Thursday.
Jefferson W. Cochran, associate
administrator of the FAA’s engi
neering and development office,
told Air Traffic Control Association
delegates the tragic accident that
killed 144 persons “is of course
going to affect the safety statistics.”
But he said the country’s safety rec
ord was “second to none.”
The San Diego accident, no mat
ter what the cause, shows that safety
efforts could be better, he said.
Quentin S. Taylor, FAA deputy
administrator, opened the morning
session of the ATCA conference by
telling delegates the association
faces “some major safety issues that
need to be addressed.”
Dr. James J. Kramer, associate
administrator for the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion, said NASA is involved in pro
grams concerning aviation safety.
He said NASA is working on
projects that could help improve
aircraft operations in poor visibility
and those involving human error.

jowever,
court refused
Groves’ contention, ruling there is
no proof the Texas statute violates
equal protection laws on the basis of
sex.
The appeals courts also reversed a
felony conviction given James L.
Morgan because the indictment
against the Bryan man did not spe
cifically detail the charges against
him.
On Oct. 25, 1975, Morgan
pleaded guilty to robbing a home
and was given a 10-year probated
sentence. He was later sentenced to
five years in prison for violating
probation.
The criminal appeals court re
versed the decision, saying that the
indictment failed to satisfy all the
conditions necessary for conviction
of a felony theft.
In another decision Wednesday,
the court refused to remove 37 ar
rests from the record of a Fort Worth
man currently serving a 20-year sen
tence for murder.
Paprskar claimed the arrests
should be removed since no indict
ments followed the arrests and since
he was not convicted of a felony in
the five years preceding each arrest.
The court, however, ruled that it
had no jurisdiction to expunge the
arrests since there were no criminal
penalties attached to the Fort
Worth court order denying Paprskar
expunction of the arrests.
