Horse and Buggy Regulations
WE LIVE IN AN AGE of worldwide air transpor
tation — but apparently, some of our regulatory
policies and attitudes stem from the tri-motor Ford era.
The Portland Oregonian has devoted an editorial
to one such instance. It writes: “In the category of
sure things, along with death, taxes and the daily
appearance of the sun, one surely can include the con
tinuing growth of air travel between the Pacific
Northwest and the new State of Hawaii. That the
Civil Aeronautics Board should give serious consider
ation to the cutting off of one of the two airlines
serving this route is, under the circumstances, all but
incredible.”
Here’s the story: A CAB examiner has recom
mended that Pan American World Airways should not
be allowed to fly the route, even though it has dem
onstrated its faith in the route’s potentialities by
putting on pure jets of the latest and fastest type. If
the examiner should have his way, another airline,
which won’t be employing the pure jets for another
year, will be given a monopoly. The entire CAB board
has been holding hearings on the matter.
This might be of limited importance if only the
Pacific Northwest-Hawaii route were at stake. But
in instance after instance, rulings and regulations
prevent our international airlines from providing the
best and most expeditious service, particularly on the
Pacific route complex. In other instances, foreign lines
have been heavily and unduly favored at the expense
of our own. Here’s a form of horse-and-buggy regu
lation that the country can’t afford in the jet age.

Adenauer Says We
May Have to Forget
About Quiet World
TOKYO, — West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
Saturday challenged the Soviet
Union to either accept the United
states “open skies’ disarmament
inspection plan at the May 16
summit conference or face a con
tinued arms build-up by the West.
The 84-year-old Chancellor said
that if the Soviets again reject
the inspection plan first proposed
by President Eisenhower to per
mit disarmament “we must not
let ourselves be deceived into talk
ing about relaxing tension all the
time, face the hard facts and see
that the free people are as strong
as possible.”
Adenauer told newsmen he and
Prime Minister Nobosuke Kishi
agreed at a conference that dis
armament will be the major busi
ness of the summit meeting.
He said his opinion is that an
other Soviet rejection of the West’s
disarmament inspection plan
would prove that “Soviet Russia
cannot be swayed except by direct
force.”
Alaska Air Commerce
Measure Effectively
Delayed In Senate
JUNEAU, UP) — A bill to reg
ulate intra-Alaska air commerce
ran into a roadblock last week
when a roll-call vote failed to
muster the necessary three-fourths
majority for advancement to the
third reading.
The rollcall requested by Rep.
Richard Greuel, House Rules
chairman, resulted in a 29-10 vote,
one short of the requared margin.
Normally, advancement to third
reading, the last stage before a
vote on passage, is accomplished
with unanimous consent.
The action, interpreted as a de
laying effort by opponents of the
bill, came after the House voted
not to attach an amendment
broadening the charter provisions
of contract carriers.
The common carriers — sched
uled air lines — opposed the type
of carrier called for in the amend
ment, saying it would provide a
special class for one, or at the
most two, operators in Alaska.
Scheduled airlines contend con
tract carriers should be governed
by the same rules as air taxi op
erators, including the restriction
forbidding bush pilots to operate
aircraft with greaer than 12,500
pounds gross take-off weights.
The bill is designed to set up
state regulation of air carriers
within Alaska, a function the
Civil Aeronautics Board has said
it will turn over to the state July
1, 1961.

Pope John Elevates
10 to Catholic
Cardinals’ College
By FRANK BRUTTO
VATICAN CITY, UPi — Pope
John XXIII today created 10 new
Cardinals of the Roman Catholic
Church, including three whose
names will remain secret until
some future date.
The new Cardinals previously
named for elevation included the
first Negro, the first Japanese and
the first Filipino Princes of the
Church. One Italian newspaper
called it the ‘‘Rainbow consistory.”
With the elevation of the first
Negro Cardinal, the Pontiff re
flected with sorrow on recent
'bloodshed in Africa. He referred
to the “cruel treatments that vio
late religion . . . and Christian
civilization.”
The seven new Princes of the
Church who had been designated
by Pope John on March 3, are
Bishop Laurian Rugambwa, 47, of
Rutabo, Tanganyika, the college’s
first Negro member; Archbishop
Peter Tatuso Dio, 67, of Tokyo;
Archbishop Rufino J. Santos, 51,
of Manila; Archbishop Bernard
Jan Afrink, 59, of Utrecht, Neth
erlands; Archbishop Joseph Le
Febvre, 67, of Bourges, France,
and the Most Rev. Antonio Bacci,
64, both Italian members of the
Vatican Curia.
The three Cardinals whose iden
tities were kept secret were named
by the Pope “in pectore” — with
in his breast. Their names will not
be made known until Pope John
ohooses, but their membership in
the College of Cardinals dates
from today.
Vatican sources speculated that
the three' may be prelates in
Communist-ruled lands.
The Pontiff’s naming of the
three Cardinals “in pectore” came
as a surprise and brought the
membership in the college — the
senate of the Roman Catholic
Church — to 88, the highest in
its history.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fisher, have
a son, -born on March 26. The
father is station manager for Al
aska Airlines -here. It is their first
child.
Nevada Educator Named
New U-A President
COLLEGE — Dr. William Ran
som Wood, academic vice presi
dent of the 'University of Nevada
at Reno, was named last week to
become president of the University
of Alaska, by the board of regents.
Commenting on the board’s se
lection, Dr. Ernest Patty, who has
served as university president for
the past seven years, and who
recently submitted his resignation,
said:
“I am very happy with the
choice of Dr. Wood as president.
I am confident I am turning over
the administration of the univer
sity to a man who will handle the
job competently. I feel certain
Alaskans will applaude this very
perceptive selection by the 'board
of regents.”
'Dr. Wood was among the five
applicants interviewed by the
board for the position.
Dr. Wood will take over his new
assignment in July, at which time
Dr. and Mrs. Patty plan to leave
for Seattle.
'MATTHEWS, N. C„ Wl — When
the alarm sounded about 50 volun
teer firemen jumped up from their
Sunday dinner tables across
Mathews to answer the call.
They reached the scene of the
grass fire in nothing flat.
But nobody brought the fire
truck.
