Three women complete pilot training
ted Press International
LUBBOCK — Three women have completed undergraduate pilot
training at Reese Air Force Base — the base’s first female graduates,
officials have announced.
Among 36 recent graduates of the UPT program at Reese are 1st
lieutenants Cathy A. Caseman of Atlanta, Ga.; Karen Robinette
Klingenberger of California; and 2nd Lt. Linda L. Martin of
Wenatchee, Wash.
Caseman and Klingenberger have been assigned to fly KC135
Stratotankers for the Strategic Air Command from Wurtsmith AFB,
Mich., and Plattsburgh AFB, N.Y., respectively.
Lt. Martin will remain at Reese as a T-37 instructor pilot.
Company to build 160-mile pipeline
OMAHA — Northern Natural Gas Co. Monday announced plans
to build 160 miles of pipeline in southwest Texas, pending approval
from the Federal Energy Commission.
Northern said the pipeline between Batesville in Zavala County
and Eldorado in Scheicher County would transport natural gas re
serves its existing mainline pipeline system.
Man learns of appointment through newspapers
BROOMFIELD, Colo. — William Hallett, 37, assistant regional
administrator of the Office of Indian Programs, said he learned
through the newspapers last week that President Carter had named
him U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Hallett, who is three-quarters Chippewa Indian and was raised on
the Red Lake Reservation in Minnesota where his parents still live,
said the office has about 16,000 employees.
Hallett said he still had not received any formal notice of his ap
pointment.
School ordered
to serve meals
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Supreme
Court Monday let stand a lower-
court opinion that rebuffed a Texas
school district’s claim that a state
law requiring it to provide free
breakfasts to poor children is uncon
stitutional.
The Garland Independent School
District, located near Dallas, had
challenged a state law requiring it to
offer free or subsidized breakfasts
under certain conditions.
The school district said the state
law conflicted with the federal sta
tute creating the program.
At issue is a portion of the Texas
Education Code the Legislature
passed in 1977 requiring school dis
tricts to offer the federal program “if
at least 10 percent of the students
enrolled in one or more schools in a
school district are eligible for free or
reduced-price breakfasts.”
The federal school breakfast pro
gram, enacted as part of the 1966
Child Nutrition Act, is designed to
improve the nutrition and health of
children, especially those who are
poor.
School district officials argue the
federal program allows local au
thorities to decide whether to par
ticipate. The Texas statute, they
maintain, makes the program man
datory even if a locality does not
want it.
The school district does not par
ticipate in the federally subsidized
school lunch program and says it
does not want to participate in the
federal breakfest program either.
The school district lost its case in
federal trial court and the 5th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed
that result.
Garland officials said if required
to participate, they would have to
serve breakfasts at nearly half the
schools, necessitating some
modifications to buildings, $26,000
in new equipment, and a
lengthened school day which would
increase annual salary and utility
expenses by $114,000.
These expenses, they told the
high court, may not be covered by
federal funds.
They urged the high court to con
sider the case and set guidelines “on
the federal-state-local relationship”
and “the extent to which a state may
permissibly alter this relationship.”
Tears lauded
'as preventative
for colds
United Press International
Forget Vitamin C. If you want to
avoid colds, cry a lot.
That’s the word from
psychoanalyst Dr. Walter Stewart in
the November issue of Forum
magazine.
He says he doesn’t know why but,
“It’s been widely noticed that
people who don’t cry often catch a
great many colds, but once they be
come able to weep, their suscepti
bility to colds disappears.”

Plane riders stop knife-wielder
United Press International
DENVER — Chicago busi
nessman Tony Masella said he
wasn’t frightened by the knife-
wielding man aboard a non-stop
American Airlines flight from
Chicago to San Francisco, but he
was “ticked off” about the language
his fellow passenger was using.
The flight, carrying 152 persons,
had been uneventful Sunday until
several of the passengers became
disturbed by comments the man
was making and asked him to calm
down. It was then the man — de
scribed by others as “scruffy look
ing” — pulled a 2-inch knife, au
thorities said.
“He went over to one of the
passengers and was waving his
knife,” said Masella. “The guy was
going berserk and then one
passenger jumped him and about
eight others of us joined in.
“I wasn't terrified,” Masella
added. “I was just ticked off about
the language he was using.”
Three passengers suffered minor
stab wounds before the man could

Flag incident incites
threats bn Klansman
United Press International
ALEXANDRIA, La. — A
member of the Ku Klux Klan has
vowed to torch the city because a
Klansman was arrested twice in one
day for refusing to remove American
flags that officers said posed a traffic
hazard.
“This town will burn if they dare
to touch the American flag one more
time,” said William Hertz, who
called himself a state organizer for
the Klan in Alexandria. “If we have
to, we ll burn every one of the
police cars in the city.”
Police Sunday arrested William
Garrett on charges of failure to
comply with the order of a city
police officer. Garrett was released
after posting $64.50 bond, Sgt. Gary
Moore said.
But he was arrested again on
identical charges after driving away
from the city jail.
Moore said Garrett was flying two
American flags from poles on each
side of his car. Both of the poles
were more than 4 feet long.
“It was routine arrest and he
turned out to be a Klansman,”
Moore said. “I guess we re really
unpatriotic.”
Hertz said the Klansmen were in
the city park to pass out Klan litera
ture.
verted to Stapleton International
Airport where FBI agents and
police met the aircraft. They ar
rested the man, whom officials iden
tified as Edward A. Provenzano, 30,
of San Francisco.
“The apprehension was easy,”
said Police Sgt. William Aumilleere,
the first officer on the plane. “The
suspect already was tied up and on
the floor when we got on. The
passengers on the plane already had
subdued him.”
Provenzano was taken to the
psychiatric ward at Denver General
Hospital for observation before
being formally charged before a
U.S. magistrate Monday on a fed
eral charge of interfering with a
flight crew.
The three slightly injured
passengers were treated by
paramedics at the airport and con
tinued their flight to San Francisco
after a delay of less than two hours.
A fourth passenger, Charles Mulh-
ern, 47, of Richmond, Calif., com

American Airlines spokesman
David Lobb in Dallas said there
never was any attempt to seize con
trol of the aircraft.
“It was a passenger who had a lot
to drink and more or less went ber
serk when people tried to calm him
down and asked him to behave him
self,” Lobb said. “He pulled out a
knife and began slashing at people
and nicked several of the
passengers.”
Patrick McCormick, 27, of In
dianapolis, who was on a honey
moon flight with his wife, Karen,
said that as the man was dragged off
he was “babbling about corporations
and aliens.”
