Senate Committee
Recommends CAB
Relieve Hardships
Imposed on Alaska
Second Recommendation
For Board- To Ease Its
Policies In The Territory
By Frank W. VaiUa
(AP Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, </P) — The
Senate Small Business Committee
said Monday the Civil Aeronautics
Board “should act promptly to re
lieve the hardships it is imposing
on Alaska through its restrictions
of flights from the United States/*
The recommendation was the
second by a Senate committee
within six months to the CAB to
ease its policies governing avia
tion in the territory.
In February an Armed Services1
subcommittee urged the CAB to j
relax its regulations sufficiently |
to encourage the development of
aviation in Alaska.
The latest report dealt with the;
effect of a CAB rule on the lines
which fly on an irregular or non
scheduled basis. They are known
as “non-skeds/* The CAB regula
tion restricts non-skeds to three
round trip flights per month over j
major traffic segments and eight |
round trip flights between all
other points.
The committee said it was
“alarmed” by the testimony of
Alaska’s Governor Gruening.
The governor described the
CAB as “an absentee bureau
cracy . . . (which) has greatly re
tarded the normal development of
Alaska.” Its policies, he said, had
been “disastrous . . . (and) dia
metrically opposed to the policies”
of President Truman.

It was felt such interest and;
participation should be reflected
