Abbott and Costello Sue
Two Film Companies For
$'>,000,000 In Damages
NEW YORK, (/P) — The film
comedy team of Bud Abbott and
Lou Costello are suing two movie
compaines for $5,000,000 alleged
ly due them from profits of old
films and damage to their artistic
reputations.
The comedians filed suit in fed
eral court Saturday against Uni
versal Pictures Company, Inc.,
and Realart Pictures, Inc., under
their non - professional names —
William A. Abbott and Louis
Cristillo.
The pair said Universal—over
their protests — cut their full
length films down to shorts for
showing in “cheap places of en
tertainment” such as saloons and
nickelodeons and for use in slot
machines. As a result, they said,
their artistic stature suffered.

ATA Queries CAB
Limitations On
Overseas Flights
By FRANK W. VAILLE
^AP Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A non
scheduled airlines questioned Sat
urday whether the Civil Aero
nautics Board should place any
limitations upon overseas trans
portation by irregular air car
riers.
Air Transport Associates, Inc.,
an irregular carrier operating
from Seattle to Alaska, asked that
the question be included in the
investigation which the board re
cently ordered into the services of
large irregular passenger and
cargo carriers.
ATA was ordered by the board
recently to halt its operations
because of alleged violations of
CAB rules.
/* *
In filing its latest request with
the board, ATA stressed the “spe
cial need for low cost cargo and
passenger air transportation ser
vice. That need, it said, “requires
unrestricted service” between the
United States and Alaska.
The carrier said in a brief that
Alaskans use 15 times the amount
of passenger air transportation
per capita as does the United
States and 1)14 times more air
cargo transportation per capita—
“proving that air cargo transpor
tation is the crying need . .
The territory’s lack of alter
native forms of transportation
forces reliance upon the air car
rier to supply “the necessities of
everyday life,” it said, adding:
“Lack o*f these commodities
would seriously affect the stand
ard of living of Alaskans “where
as lack of air cargo in the United
States would, at most, be a severe
inconvenience.”
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The In
terior Depurmtent announced Sat

E. Hoffman, a veteran govern
ment career man, as chief of the

als of the Bureau of Land Man
agement.
Hoffman has been chief of a
minerals branch in the Bureau’s
adjudication division since 1946.

Permafrost Studies In
Alaska May Aid Mankind
i AP Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (A31) — Because
of scientific studies, Secretary of
the Interior Qiapman said Satur
day, “mankind may some day be
better able to live and conduct
normal business operations in
Alaska and other parts of the far
north.”
Chapman commented in a state
ment on the result of several
years of studies of perennially
frozen ground. The work has
been done by the Geological Sur
vey at laboratories here and in
Alaska.
He said research on the action
of frost and cold is designed to
overcome some of the difficulties
of World War II in getting water
supplies and building runways,
roads, housing, factories, piplines
and sanitary facilities for the
armed forces in Alaska.
“At that time we had to de
pend almost entirely upon what
factual information we were able
to gain from foreign, mostly
Russian publications,” he said.
“Russia has been wrestling for
decades with similiar difficulties
that impeded colonization and
development of her northern
areas.”
