Asks Other Nations
Share Loran Cost
SEATTLE. — (/P) r- The Philip
pines asked yesterday that other
nations in the Pacific share the
cost of operating Loran <Long
range navigation) stations in the
islands.
The request was made at a 13
nation conference of the Interna
tional Aviation Organization.
They were installed by the U.S.
government during the war and
are being operated by the U.S.
Coast Guard until June 30, 1949.
The delegates, hoping to stand
ardize procedures in the North
Pacific region, said United States
systems probably will be adop
ted. Most of the region’s long
range commercial flying is by
U.S_ carriers.
They said the area, still to be
defined definitely, probably would
include the West Coast of the
United States and Canada, the Al
askan coast, the east coast of Asia
to Hong Kong, and the area north
of a line from Manila to southern
California, through Guam, Wake
and Hawaii.
