Five phoners fly
to quake torn area
ATLANTA (UPI) — An emergency crew of five
Southern Bell Telephone Co. experts was scheduled to
leave Atlanta early Tuesday morning for Managua to help
set up a communications link in the earthquake shattered
city.
The five communications experts will try to connect
telephones in Managua to a communications ground
station in Nicaragua and from there to a receiver in
Jacksonville, Fla.
Southern Bell identified the five as Harold Hawkins,
Lewis Atkinson, William Buchanan, Robert Day and
Watson Stallworth.
The five will take three portable microwave
transmitters and portable electric generators, and will
install 40 telephones in portable vans inside Managua,
connecting them through the micro-wave transmitters to
the COMSAT ground station.
The crew will make the trip in a C-58 military transport
plane that will be loaded with other relief supplies for the
city.
When the equipment becomes operable, there will be 40
direct lines, under government control, to relay messages
from Managua to Jacksonville, Fla.
Cuba promises return
of airline money
ATLANTA (UPl)—The Cuban government has
promised to return $2 million in ransom money Southern
Airways paid to three hijackers last month, an airline
official announced Sunday.
Graydon Hall, general manager and executive vice
president of the Atlanta-based airline, said he travelled to
Havana and met with top Cuban officials. He said he “has
been assured by the Cuban government that the ransom ...
is being returned.”
Hall said his trip to Cuba was a “private affair”
between Southern and Cuba, and was not part of
negotiations on hijacking policy involving the U. S. and
Cuba.
Southern said the return of the money will enable it to
turn a profit this year for the first time since 1966.
The money was taken to Havana in a bizarre, two-day
hijacking that began in Alabama, wandered to Canada
and landed twice in Havana, the second landing made on
tires which had been shot by the FBI.
The three hijackers remain in Cuba.

Emory scientist gets
cancer fight grant
ATLANTA (UPI) — The National Cancer Institute has
awarded a $25,368 grant to an Emery University scientist
to find ways to bolster the body’s natural defense
mechanism against virus-caused cancers.
Dr. Robert B. Fritz, assistant professor of
microbiology, said he will inject leukemia-causing poultry
viruses into baby White Leghorn chickens as part of his
study.
Fritz said he will try to isolate tumor antigens to search
for ways to treat cancer. Fritz said the antigens may be
used with an anti-tuberculosis drug which stimulates
immunological defenses, or they may be used to produce
an antiserum to destroy the cancer cells.
