CAB Drafts Sot of
Goals far Airline Industry I
WASHINGTON MP> — The Civil |
Aeronautics Board have drafted a
tentative set of goals for the air
line industry.
They would endorse airline
mergers that improve service and
reduce fares, but would favor
competition by at least two com
panies on all major air routes.
The proposed goals also call for
“Yankee trading’’ principles in the
exchange of operating rights with
foreign countries.
It said that “achieving the pro
per role of the United States in
international air transport is
among our most difficult and frus
trating problems.’’
The board sent copies of the
working draft of its goals to the
presidents of all the scheduled and
supplemental airlines, a n d to
heads of the various groups asso
ciated with the industry.
The board assigned itself the
task of fixing standards to deter- 1
mine where single-line service is
desirable, and where two or more :
airlines should compete for the
business.
Over routes where traffic den- 1
si ties are high, it said, “duopoly”— 1
the sharing of a monopoly by two
airlines — is economically justifi- '
able. But where traffic is low. it 5
added, use of even two operators (
is uneconomic. (
Any desirable merger must pro- 1
duce benefits in better service for
lower prices, in better earnings for '
the airlines involved and in con- '
tinued benefits for labor and stock- !
holders, the statement said. *
The board noted that there are
only a few possible reductions in
the number of airlines. There are
11 domestic trunk lines, 13 local
service lines, 10 Alaskan lines, and
a few others.

Awarded Part
Of Buried “Slake”
SEATTLE UP) — Dan Bissoff
will got back some of the $20,000
he claimed his wife discovered
after he hid it in a hole in the
"round at Fairbanks.
Bissoff, 09, is a former Fair
banks card dealer. He testified in
his divorce suit against Hazel Duby
Bissoff that .virile he was there he
would occasionally see some for
lorn figure sitting in need along
a street as he went home from
the card tables in the early morn
ings and would, in sympathy, give
as much as $50 to the needy one.
Realizing he could not afford
to be that generous and not trusting
himself, he decided to burv his
money in the ground, he said N t
in a bank: it would be too on ;y
to get it out of there.
So he buried $30,000 in th. yard
of his Fairbanks home, he testi
fied. Then, he said, he went “out
side” to Seattle in 1960 to visit
a sick friend. On his return he
said, he found his wife and her
sister had discovered his buried
money, had dug it up, and spent
it They are first denied it: then
admitted it, but gave him back
$8,500, saying that was all they
found, he said.
(Hc said his buried cache was
originally $30,000, but that he had
dug up and used $10,000 of it
himself.)
He said he is now “broke” and
living at a hotel here on a $100
a-month Social Security pension
He estimated his wife’s worth at
$25,000. She had some property
before their marriage in 1949, he
said.
Mrs. Bissoff, 67, denied she had
found or spent her husband’s
buried “stake.”
However, the husband’s counsel,
Charles Flanagan, brought out that
Mrs. Bissoff had $7,800 in two
bank accounts here. She could not
account for this to Judge Edward
Henry’s satisfaction. He gave Biss
off the divorce and $6,000. The
judge said he was inclined to be
lieve Bissoff’s story that his wife
found his buried money.

'.S. Rejects Use of
Sovi<‘*'s “BJa^k Boxes’'
i GENEVA gp—The United S’ ,U -
Wednesday rejected the Soviet pro
posal for using robot seismic sta
tions—black boxes—-to control a
ban on nuclear weapons tests.
U. S. Ambassador Arthur Dean
told the 17-nation disarmament
conference the Soviet, proposal was j
“vague and foggy" and the United
States is not prepared to accept
“an unworkable system of black !
boxes in our Christmas stocking.” ;
Dean said Soviet negotiator S
K. Tsarapkin’s consistent refusal
to discuss any technical details of I
the robot stations “leads us to be- ;
lieve that the Soviet Union itself I
docs not know how these black I
boxes would work.”
Dean expressed regret that the j
conference is meeting again “ag
linst the background of continue i j
atmospheric tests in the Soviet !
Union.”
Dean said that the use of sealed
automatic seismic recorders to sup
plement manned detection stations j
was first proposed by the Western \
powers two years ago, and prompt- j
ly rejected by the Soviet Union.

The Soviet trade mission in
