Flight attendants and pilots’ ! unions who blasted layoff of ; 7,800 workers, pay cuts and lon ger working hours as “moral ! abuse” of bankruptcy laws did ; nothing to stop the first takeoffs. Only mechanics, already strik ing Continental since Aug. 13, . picketed. ; The first plane took off from Dulles International Airport in Washington for Houston at 8 ! a.m. The first liftoff from Hous- J ton, company headquarters, came 42 minutes later, one mi nute late. Some employees 1 cheered and others wept. I “I’m delighted to have a job,” ; said ticket agent Kathy Keefe, ■ who was demoted from super visor. “The pay is disappointing naturally . but I think everybody ' wants to see the airline survive.” Pilot Lee Conway said, “Half salary is better than none.” “We’re flying,” Continental spokesman Bruce Hicks said jubilantly as he ticked off a list of successful takeoffs, guaranteed in part by Bankruptcy Judge Phil Peden’s order requiring creditors to keep serving Con tinental. Although Continental’s first Houston takeoff — Flight 688 to Lafayette, La. — had only six passengers on board, gate atten dant Billie Tafelski said: “Even if it was only one person on board, it was worth it.” By midday, the Houston air port line to buy Continental’s “Welcome Back” fares of $49- or-less on any domestic flight through Friday had grown to several hundred people. Continental stock was up from one-eighth to 3 and one- half in the first hour of trading in New York Tuesday. Travel agents, crucial to the airline’s longterm success, watched cautiously. One said the jury was still out whether Continental will suc ceed in restoring confidence with $49 fares through Friday and $75-or-less through Oct. 15. Fares after that have not been disclosed. “I don’t think the majority of people are going to trust it yet,” said Liz Neller of Harvey Travel in Houston. “The next two weeks are going to be a testing ground.” Other airlines strapped with losses also watched with interest. Eastern Airlines Chairman Frank Borman announced to his employees they would have to take cuts or face similar action. Watching unhappily from the sidelines were Continental em ployees not called back in Chair man Frank Lorenzo’s reorgani zation that cut the number of cities served from 78 to 25 and the number of daily flights from 540 to 118. nploy- ment office tomorrow and talk to them, said Rosanne Sterk, flight attendant. “I also am going to call a restaurant in this area that is hiring people,” President Henry Duffy of the Air Line Pilots Association met with disgruntled flight atten dants and pilots Monday night. He told reporters no immediate action was planned but serious action was being studied. «y ignored the unions’ offer of pay and productivity concessions be cause he wanted to engineer a union-busting maneuver. Lorenzo denied interference with union representation. Duffy said ALPA’s Continen tal executive committee will meet Wednesday and the execu tive committee for all 46 airline units of ALPA will meet Thurs day to consider a possible strike and other options. United Press International KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Pamela Hamilton’s parents appealed to the state Supreme Court Tuesday to halt court- ordered chemotherapy she is undergoing even though the treatment is helping her battle bone cancer. Larry and Deborah Hamil ton, who object to chemother apy on religious grounds, filed an application with the state’s highest court seeking permis sion to appeal a Juvenile Court decision that gave the state tem porary custody of their 12-year- old daughter. The Supreme Court may decide as early as to day whether to hear the case, a court clerk said. Pamela’s father, a fundamen talist minister, believes only God can heal his child. The state step ped into the case and won cus tody of Pamela after doctors said she would die within months without treatment. One of the girl’s physicians, Dr. Frank Haraf, said Pamela has responded so well to treat ment at East Tennessee Chil dren’s Hospital over the past six days that she may be permitted to leave the hospital in a week or two and return home to con tinue chemotherapy on an out patient basis. Haraf told a news conference that a watermelon-sized tumor on Pamela’s left leg has stopped growing and she has not experi enced any severe side effects from chemotherapy, such as nausea or hair loss. “I’m very pleased with how she’s doing,” said Haraf. “I would not go so far as to say the tumor is shrinking, but the treat- stival patterned after | razos and the Wur- 1 ay at Central Parldj | d lasting until mil- | ierman food and ice s and activities, five i some dancing.

To expect a drastic reduction in the size of the tumor this soon would be to expect too much.” Haraf said if Pamela is sent home, a nurse would be assigned to see that she takes the medicine, since the would not do so. “She’s not happy being here. parents She would be happier to be at home,” Haraf said. Pamela has received six in travenous doses of chemother apy drugs. After eight doses, she will receive no cancer medicine for five days, and then eight more doses of chemotherapy will be given, he said. Want to Fly? Now is the best time ever.
