Few “Irregulars”
File Application
For Permits
WASHINGTON, The civil
aeronautics board had received
only 37 formal applications from
large irregular air carriers for
new operating permits in advance
of today's filing deadline.
Unless they request exemption
from the regulations by 4 p.m.,
EST, operators of large aircraft
other than scheduled airlines are
forbidden to fly for pay.
The CAB does not actually
grant permits, but instead issues
an exemption from the require
ment for a scheduled certificate.
All air carriers other than the
airlines have operated under a
broad general exemption since
the civil air act became law in
1933. Now the board is requiring
an individutil exemption for each
• operator.
Tie large irregular carriers are
those operating one • or more
planes of 10,500 pounds gross
weight each in non-schcduled
services for passengers or cargo.
Orig.nally the board issued let
ters of registration to 144 large ir
regular carriers, but only 59 have
been filing the required reports
on operations and finances. Those
59 have 151 planes—18 of them
four-engine types.
The CAB suspended 33 opera
tors for various reasons. The
others either have dropped out or
ignoring the paper work,
i In addition to the 37 while filed
formal applications, eight others

Dividends
(Continued from Page One)
may be available in August in
postoffices, veterans’ service or
ganizations, and VA offices.
Meantime the administrator
asked veterans not to write now
about their dividends because let
ters “will only cause the payment
to be delayed.”
The special dividend will not be
paid on policies issued after Jan
uary 1, 1948. But such policies
may participate in some later div
idend, Gray said.
The cut-off date—that is, the
limit of time on which dividend
accumulations will be allowed—is
the anniversary date of the policy
in 1948.
Government officials expect the
dividends to be spent promptly
and to provide a noticeable “shot
in the arm” for business.

NCAA Meet At
Los Angeles
Full Of Thrills
*
LOS ANGELES, (A*)—It may be
a couple of years, but keep an eye :
on half-pint Bobby Smith of San j
Diego State, who pole vaults.
He didn’t net a new NGAA rec
ord last Saturday, as did Yale’s ,
Jim Fuchs. He didn’t even tie one, ,
as did three other performers. But
he kept almost all of a crowd of :
31.370 in their seats nearby an j
hour after the rest of the annual j
national collegiate athletic asso
ciation track and field champion-1
ships were completed.
I
They stayed to see him try for
14 feet, six inches, after clearing
14-3 with what seemed a comfor
table three inches to spare. And
they groaned each time as he
brushed the bar off. But with the
help of Bill Carroll of Oklahoma
and Tom Bennett of Wisconsin,
who also cleared 14 feet, he help
ed turn in the big upset of the af
ternoon, grounding USC’s Jack
Montgomery and Oregon’s George
Rasmussen, the co-favorites, along
with a score of the nation’s top
I vaulters. Montgomery and Ras
I mussen went out at 13-8. •
Otherwise the championships
ran much according to form.
Southern California romped
away with its 13th team title, scor
ing 35 2/5 points to outdistance
| two other California schools,
UCLA with 31 and Stanford with
30. West Coasters won seven of the
! 14 events, to boost their chances
against the Big Ten in the dual
meet at Berkeley Tuesday. That
meet figures to be a lot closer
; than Saturday’s comptir isons
would indicate, but Pacific Coast
conference teams tallied 126 1/5
points, to 88 for Big Ten entries.
Mel Patton won his fifth NCAA
spring title—coasting the 100 in
9.7 but bearing down for 20.4 in
the 220. The former gave Patton
j his third straight NCAA win in the
century, tying Ralph Metcalfe's
15-year-old record; and the sec
ond equalled Metcalfe’s NCAA
mark which has been unchalleng
ed since 1933.
ULCA’s Craig Dixon was the
, other double winner, capturing
the 120-yard highs in 13.9 seconds
and the 220-lows in 22.7. The for
mer equalled the NCAA standard
set by Ed Dugger of Tufts in 1940.
Fuch’s 56 feet. 1 Vz inch shot put
was the only new NCAA mark,
bettering by an inch the record of
the late A1 Blozis of Georgetown
set in 1940. Mai Whitfield of Ohio
State, who won the 800 meters in
the Olympics, turned the half
mile in 1 minute, 50.3 seconds.
John Woodruff of Pittsburgh had
the same time back in 1937.

Cubs Player, Will
Play Again

again—but probably not th.s sea
son—says one of the physicians
attending the seriously wounded
Philadelphia Phillies’ first base

for the Chicago Cubs, stud it was
“still uncertain” whether Waitkus,
shot near the heart by an infatu
ated teen-age girl, will be back in
the Phillies* lineup this season.
"But I am quite sure,” Dr.
Braun said, “he will be back play
ing baseball. Just when it will be
I cannot say.”
The condition of the 28-year
old star first baseman was de
scribed as “good’’ at the Illinois
Masonic hospital, where he has
been confined since he was shot
early Wednesday. The hospital
said he had “taken a turn for the
better but was not quite out of
danger.”
Waitkus was shot with a .22
caliber rifle by Miss Ruth Stein
hagen, 19-vear-old typist.
The tall, dark-haired girl was
removed to the Cook County jail
in lieu of $25,000 cash bond after
her arraignment in felony court
on a charge of assault with intent
to murder. Her hearing was con
: tinued to June 30 by Judge Mat
thew D. Hartigan, who also or
! dered she be examined by Wil
I liam H. Haines of the criminal
| court behavior clinic.
