Com-
munist Party, who is be- lieved to be londing the re- maining 2,000 hard core terrorists still waging a bitter ant-ditch stand against penetrations of Bri- tinh and Commonwealth troops and aircraft. THERE is no indication the Tengku is

FLY WITH THE PILOTS WHO FLY THE WORLD
TWA CAPTAIN PHARES McFERREN, photographed here in Paris, Alls his spare time with hobbies. Ho golfs in the respectable mid-seventies, is a canny deep-soa fisherman and enjoys swimming with his wife and two teen-age daughters in their Glendale, California, backyard pool. His son, a Marine Corps pilot, occasionally whips him in chess, but has a long way to go to match his father's flying experience. Captain McFerren, with over 4 million miles in 'the air, is TWA's brand of pilot, the kind of man you like to have in command.
