Air Regulations
Deferred Until
December 1
WASHINGTON, UP)—Amos E.
Heacock of Seattle said last night
the civil aeronautics administra
tion has deferred until Dec. 1 the
application of new regulations
governing the gross weight of
some types of planes carrying both
freight and passengers.
Heacock, president of the Inde
pendent Air Carriers Conference
of America, has contended that
the regulations would ground
nearly all non-scheduled lines fly
ing cargo into Alaska.
The curbs on gross loads of C-46
planes, originally announced by
the CAA on Nov. 1, had been
scheduled to take effect Nov. 16.
Heacock said he and other in
trested persons, at a conference
with CAA and CAB officials Mon
day', also obtained an interpreta
tion of the ruling ‘which will per
mit full payload operations of
C-46’s on most Alaskan and U. S.
routes after Dec. 1.”
Heacock said a previous inter
pretaion would have cut the gross
loads of C-46's carrying both car
go and passengers from 10,500
pounds to from 5.000 to 6.000
pounds.
He said that restriction would
have made continued operation by
nine carriers serving Alaska “eco
nomically impracticable.”
No scheduled airlines are now
using C-46 planes in passenger
operations, he said.
Heacock said Harold A. Jones, a
member of the CAA, planned to
leave here yesterday for Seattle
and thence on to Alaska to study

U. S. Says Danube
Hi ver Control
Is Invalid
WASHINGTON. </P)—'The U.^.
served notice on Russia and five
Soviet bloc states yesterday that it
considers invalid their new com
mission to control shipping on the
Danube River.
The commission was set up Nov.
11 at Galatz. Romania, it replaced
a control commission dating back
to 1921 on which five Western na
tions were represented.
An American note yesterday
said that the new arrangement,
coupled with the device of Soviet
controlled .joint shipping compan
ies on the river, is “clearly design
ed to enable the Soviet Union to
maintain a monopoly of Danubian
commerce.”
The Soviet blco commission, it
was charged, violates the peace
treaties signed with Bulgaria,
Hungary and Romania and “vio- J
lates the concept of international i
waterways which has been recog
nized in Europe for more than 130
years.”

Lewis Told “Get 1
Busy And Settle
Strike—Or Else”
• ■
WASHINGTON, (JP) — John L.
Lewis was confronted yesterday
with a virtual ultimatum to win a
quick coal peace or face fast White
House action.
The mediation service said
Lewis is being given 24 to 48
hours get something stirring tow
ard a coal contract. It implied that
there would be action by Presi
dent Truman this week if Lewis
does not.
Officials seemed to believe Mr.
Truman would invoke the Taft
Hartley act although the Presi
dent dislikes that law.
Use of a special fact-finding
board outside Taft-Hartley, as was
done in the steel dispute, has been
considered but that idea appeared
to have little support.
The White House evidently was
determined to stop a new strike on
Dec. 1, the expiration date of a
truce ordered by Lewis last week
to end a 52-day strike.
Under Taft-Hartley, Mr. Tru
man could order the justice de
partment to seek a court injunc
tion barring a new strike for 80
days.
Lewis slashed the staff of his
once-rich welfare and pension
fund as operators remained cool
to his offer to talk about building
up the fund again.
—
WASHINGTON, (A*) — Federal
mediation chief Cyrus S. Ching to
day turned the deadlocked coal
dispute over to the White House
for action.
Ching reported to John R. Steel
manfi President Truman’s assist
ant, that further attmepts to get
union leader John L. Lewis and
coal operators into an agreement
seemed useless.
After seeing Steelman at fhe
White House he told reporters:
“It is our considered judgment
that further mediation at this |
time would be fruitless.”
Ching said he was filing a writ
ten report covering the coal case
with President Truman this after- i
noon.
