Page 2. the imide story- 'Lovers' Keep Stewardesses Flying MIAMI (UP!) A pretty blonde who passed her husband off as her lover to keep her job as a stewardess contends hundreds of other girls are deceiving airljnes about the legality of their love affairs. Mrs. Celeste Lansdale of Naples, who for four years led a double life as a United Airlines stewardess and the wife of a Florida lawyer, told UPI her didn't object when a man answered each time they called her apartment. "As long as they thought I was just living with a man, everything was all right," said Mrs.

Lansdale, who was fired in June for "misconduct" when the truth about her marital status was revealed. LEGAL BATTLE With the help of her attorney- husband, Mrs. Lansdale has launched a legal battle under provisions of the equal opportunity regulations. Protesting ihat United's marriage ban is no way to run an airline, Mrs. Lansdale said "This practice really condones a girl carrying on an illicit sex life.

As long as they think she's just living in sin, she can have everything she wants." United is the only major airline which still refuses to give wings to housewives. The 29-year-old former New Yorker flew for seven years with United, the first three legally single. Of the 5,000 stewardesses with the airlines she estimates "a minimum of 10 per cent are actually married and pretending that the men they live with are just lovers." HEARING SET Mrs. Lansdale goes before a Florida Industrial Commission hearing here Monday in an effort to collect unemployment pay. The commission contends that by getting married she "voluntarily quit work" and therefore forfeited such compensation.

She has also filed a grievance with the Airline Pilots Association contending that the marriage ban wasn't in her contract when she married, that it violates moral laws, is against public policy and the civil rights act. She sought injunctive relief in the U. S. district court and filed discrimination charges against United with the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. STEWARDESS DUTY J.

K. Bradshaw, stewardess service manager for United in Miami, said the airline feels the job of stewardess docs not "lend itself to a compatible married life." "They are away from home, work odd hours, and do not have a routine life," he said. "It is not the type of life compatible with the normal type of married experience." Mrs. Lansdale said once her United supervisor commented, "Every time I call your number I get a Mr. Lansdale.

Is there a reason?" "I said 'Yes, there but that was tho end of it," Mrs. Lansdale said. Charging that Ihe airline is "peddling sex instead of safety," the former hostess said, "do you Ihink a 20-year-old sexpot with little experience can do a better job of evacuating passengers in an emergency?"

Bright suffered leg and possibly internal injuries, but Schuchardt received only minor lacerations.

The study was presented in and the boarir then decided to postpone consideration of the contract until this month. In effect, the board reversed the decision of last December, and did not award Schoenfeld a contract in July.

As it was, onlookers said that some youths turned on a water faucet and threw mud clods at officers. Sheriff's deputies reported they were pelted with rocks thrown from the grandstand area. Over 10,000 attended Saturday's event and it was estimated that over 20,000 thronged to the fairgrounds yesterday to hear the nationally known musical groups. Police units from the California Highway Patrol, Alameda County Sheriff's Department, Livermore, Pleasanton and Fre- inonl Police Departments responded to the mutual aid call for the skirmish which was quickly quelled. Sheriff's deputies reported a windshield a smashed out of a "paddy wagon" parked on the fairgrounds, but they said that other youths offered to clean up the broken glass.

A bomb wrecked the John F.

Kennedy memorial at Runnymede. Upwards of 30,000 persons participated in the London demonstration against the Vietnam War, and flying bricks shattered several windows in sidestreets near the U.S. Embassy in Grosvenor Square, the focal point of the protest. There was no damage to the embassy itself, but police reporled "general hooliganism," including window breaking in surrounding streets, hours after the main protest broke up. 23 ARRESTED Police said 23 persons were arrested and "about 30" injured, including eight policemen.

The demonstrators marched from Trafalgar Square through the chilly streets of London for hours constantly chanting such slogans as "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minn" and "Down with American imperialism." Massive security precautions and a force of nearly 17,000 police equipped with helicopters and patrol boats prevented the demonstration from turning into a riot. 'WANTON ACT' A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy described the bomb attack on the granite Kennedy memorial at Runnymede, where the Magna Carta was signed, as a "wanton act which seems incredible in this day and age." The memorial to the assassinated president, set up in May, 1965, may be damaged.beyond repair. "The stone is split right down the center," said William Rixon, warden for the National Trust which cares for Runnymede. It was not immediately clear whetlier the attack on the memorial was connected with the London march.

All in all, both marchers and police remained calm and even good-humored, although there was a tense 45 minutes in front of the U.S. Embassy when some of the demonstrators kept trying to push through a police cordon 15 men deep in an attempt to get to the white cement and glass fronted building. They did not succeed. 'HURRAH FOR LBJ' One crowd of several hundred marchers chanted "Hurrah, hurrah for LBJ" when they approached the embassy hut when they were close they suddenly changed their chant to anti-American slogans. They apparently thought the pro-American ploy might gel them through police cordons.
