SUCCESSFUL
[
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—(AP)—The
program for international coop
eration providing air transport
services for the opening of the
way to freedom of the skies to I
commercial aircraft, received
quick approval at the world avia- j
tion conference, it was revealed
today.
Representatives from 54 na
tions ended their meeting, which
opened on November 1st.
The documents accepted rep- ’
resented the merging of views
which were brought out in the
conference. Concessions were
made on all sides.
Even the British yielded the
hope of economically powerful
world air authority.
The Canadians gave up the \
plan of having such a body to
allocate air routes. The Austral-1
ians and New Zealanders failed
in their idea of world-owned and
operated system by all nations, j
The United States did not get |
full freedom of the skies as
asked, but accomplished some
what the idea.
One official said it was a vie-,
torious meeting for everyone.
The average American family
purchases 2.8 bed sheets a year.
