Belgian Congo 
(Blaster — Sabena refund) 
August 13, 1955 
Hi*. Paul F, Blasier 
Supervisor, Sabena Ticket Office 
1001-1005 Connecticut Ave. , N.fe’. 
Washington 6, D. C. 
Dear >&*. Blasier j 
this I you our four plane tickets with unused tickets for 
the ^tebbe-Juba flight. This did not matei-ialise for, when we inquired 
at the axr-lines office in Eiitebbe, they said ti^ had no record of our 
coming and that the plane was fully loaded. As a result we hired a car 
and Hade the trip anyw. We had to be in Juba on time as the Nile 
steamers only run fortnightly. 
The roads proved surprisingly good and the ride by car gave us a 
ciance to see more of the country than otherwise would have been the case 
(but it cost us about twice as muchl). It was a grand trip throughout 
and I can assure you that we enjoyed the superlative service of "Sabena" 
rendered us whenever we travelled on your planes. 
For tiw Gairo-Rcwie flight by TWA made by tourist plane I have 
already received a refund check, and for the ficane New York flight 
i^de by im only, by tourist plane, I should also like to obtain a refund 
between the costs of tourist and first class accommodations. It so 
happened thep ■ms no first class space on the planes on which I was 
i*oiit6d to HiEke tii6 connections I xieeded to Bd.lce« 
There is still one more matter: the Sextons did not avail them- 
selves of the New York to \^shington part of their tickets. Any refund 
in this particular part of the round trip flight should be made to them 
dp^ct. However, I notice young Sexton has recmved that portion of tte 
"folder." You can reach hi® through his father at 
KEtropolitan 8-10ij2. 
When through I'd like the folders returned, at least mine, as a 
trip souvenir . Hope this will not cause you too much trouble ; renlv at 
your convenience. h j- a*- 
Sincerely, 
&]es.
