Senator Asks CAB
To Hold Up
Regulatory Orders
(Continued from Page One)
tee has been holding hearings
dealing with the proposed regula
tion. Operators of non-scheduled
airlines have contended the orde
would put them out of business.
On the other hand, representative?
of the scheduled airlines have en
dorsed the regulation.
Meanwhile, the Willis Air Serv
ice, Inc., of Teterboro, N. J., an
nounced in a statement made pub
lic here that it will fight the CAB
proposal to award regular flying
routes to four air cargo carriers.
The CAB said Friday that un
less there are objections within 20
days it will issue certificates to
the Flying Tiger Line of Burbank.
Calif.; U. S. Airlines of Atlanta,
Ga.; and the Slick Airways and
Airnews, Inc., both of San Anton
io, Tex.
If issued, the certificates will be
the first for regular flying sched
ules for strictly cargo carriers.
The Willis Line had applied for
a.similar certificate but was omit
^ ted from the CAM list of lines to
get the proposed authorities.
Willis said his line, along with
the four named by CAB, has been
operating up to now under an ex
emption regulation of the board
which permitted scheduled air
freight lines to compete with the
older mail carrying companies
over regular routes. The Willis
Service operates between New
York and Florida.
He said that of the small group
only his company has been denied
a certificate for which all had
been fighting since November.
1946.
Concerning the CAB plans for
non-scheduled air lines’ opera
tions, McCarran noted in his let
ter to O’Connell that he has intro
duced legislation which would
give Congress an opportunity to
define the status of the so-called
irregular airlines and determine
* the extent they should be . regu
lated by the CAB.
McCarran told O’Connell that
CAB ought to postpone further ac
tion on the proposed regulation
until Congress has had a chance to
consider the matter.
GOP Seeks To Cut
Gov’t Operating
Expenses
WASHINGTON, (/P)_The ad
ministration fought back Satur
day against a Republican-led drive
to cut live per cent off the govern
ment’s -operating expenses.
Senator Syers of Pennsylvania,
acting Democratic leader, told re
porters an attempt will be made
his week to restore a $11,440,000
slash in funds of the labor and'
federal security departments.
This cut was ordered by the
; Senate by a 44 to 37 vote last
Thursday which sent the $2,400,
000,000 bill back to the appropria
tions committee.
The five per cent cut proposed
by Senator Ferguson (R.-Mich.>
would apply only to department
operating funds, which make up
but a small part of the bill carry
ing money for social security and
other payments to states.
Ferguson’s latest attempt to ap
1 ply a five per cent cut—this time
to the $3,112,000,000 treasury-post
office money bill—was beaten in
the appropriations committee Fri
day by a 13 to 4 poll vote.

Possibly a wren had got into the
room somehow, they thought.

them that they called over a neigh
bor, Mrs. Mildred Wimsatt. They
swear that a mouse was warbling
and tweeting with all the gusto of
a bird.
