CAB Limits Itself
To Pan Am’s Bid
WASHINGTON, UP)—The Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB) Wed
nesday restricted its transpacific
air route proceedings to an appli
cation by Pan American World
Airways for a great circle route
to Tokyo from Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
The board thus followed Presi
dent Eisenhower’s instructions
and reversed a previous action.
It vacated an order of March 1,
which had expanded the proceed
ings to include the application of
Northwest Airlines for a perman
ent transpacific certificate and for
addition of Los Angeles and San
Francisco to its own great circle
route.
Northwest now serves Tokyo
over the great circle route from
Seattle, by way of Alaska and the
Aleutians. Pan Am operates the
much longer southerly route by
way of Honolulu and Wake Is
land. Both airlines hope to have
planes a few years hence capable
of crossing the Pacific in either
direction nonstop, hence the im
portance of the shorter great cir
cle route to Pan Am’s future plan.
Algerian Rioters
In Paris Protest
Premier’s Request
PARIS (jP—Helmeted riot police
cordoned off the French National
Assembly today against national
ist Algerian demonstrators. The
Algerians smashed shop windows
and shouted against the govern
ment’s request for strong powers
to quell the revolt in Algeria.
Two French truck drivers were
knifed.
About 3,000 Algerians had gath
ered at the Moslem mosque on the
city’s left bank and then began
drifting over to the opposite bank
of the Seine River near the city
hall, about a mile from the As
sembly. On the march, a small
group smashed automobiles and
broke store windows.
Strong forces of police and
troops gave strategic sectors of
the city the appearance of an
armed camp.
Within an hour of the opening
of the Assembly debate, some 50
Algerians had been arrested.
Thousands flocked into the city
from the suburbs—their numbers
swelled by a strike called this
mprning by the Algerian national
ist movement.
Premier Guy Mollet’s request
for strong and special powers to
curb the 16-months old Algerian
revolt will be put to a confidence
vote by the Assembly after the
debate, scheduled to end today.

Soviet Again Accuses
Japan of Fishing Salmon
‘Indiscriminately’
TOKYO, Iffl—The Soviet Union
Wednesday renewed its accusa
tions that Japan is fishing salmon
“indiscriminately” in the northern
Pacific.
A Moscow radio broadcast said
the charge was carried in Pravda
in an article by the Soviet Acad
emy of Ocean Fishery.
A previous charge was dis
missed by a Japanese Foreign Of
fice spokesman as a “unilateral
claim” to which “we cannot sub
mit.”
Some Japanese officials were j
inclined to read in the Soviet
charges an effort to force Japan
to yield to Soviet terms at the
stale-mated World War II peace
talks in London.
