“Skeds” Urge CAB
Tighten Controls
Over “Non-Skeds”
WASHINGTON, UP)—Major U.S.
airlines contended to Congress
Friday that “non-scheduled” air
lines “desire to operate only over
the lush routes,” fail to serve the
public at large and are causing
“substantial damage” to the reg
ular airlines.
They ask tightened government
controls over the “non-skeds” —
airlines which carry no perman
ent certification from the Civil
Aeronautics Board but operate
under either temporary certifica
tion or exemptions.
There has been a running fight
between the “skeds” and the “non
skeds” for several years. The CAB
is now in the midst of a full-scale
investigation of the whole ques
tion.
A Senate Small Business sub
committee also is looking into it,
and top officials of Capital Air
lines, Transworld, Eastern and
Northwest were before the Sen
ators to complain that “we have
been hurt and we stand to be
hurt very much more” by the
non-skeds.
George E. Hatch, Northwest
Orient Airlines western region
sales manager, testified that
scheduled air carriers are provid
ing ample service between Alaska
and the U.S. at reasonable rates
I and without mail subsidy.
Hitting at the irregular carriers’
claim they are being prevented
from doing business on the Seat
tle - Anchorage run, Hatch said
there are companies authorized by
I the CAB to fly to Alaska who do
| not choose to do so for reasons
j of their own.
Hatch contended the non-sched
1 uled carriers have followed a
' practice of holding fares just
i under regular scheduled fares and
of providing service only during
profitable periods of operation.

Woman Embezzler Who -
Took $380,000 Sentenced
To $5,000 and Five Years
BALTIMORE, UP)—Mrs. Naomi
Hartman Ringrose, who lived ex
pensively off other people’s
money, awaits transfer to a fed
eral prison where she will spend
the next five years.
The sentence and a $5,000 fine
were imposed Friday by Judge W.
Calvin Chesnut after the 45-year
old mother admitted embezzling
funds from the Federal Credit
Union which she managed.
It all started, said Mrs. Ring
rose, in 1945 when she got away
with a $60 bookkeeping error.
Since then, the government con
tended, shortages on her books
grew to $380,000.
The Credit Union is operated
for employes of the Social Secur
ity Administration, and its funds
come from money they invest to
make loans to other employes.
Mrs. Ringrose, whose salary
was $200 a month, admitted var
iously owning a Cadillac, $400
suits, $96 hats and a $2,000 mink
cape bought “when minks were
low.” But she denied having lived
lavishly off the money.
She operated a dining room, a
beauty parlor and an insurance
agency on the side. But the Credit
Union has taken those over along
with her fashionable $80,000 home
where she lived with her husband
and 17-year-old son.
Lvnchings in the United States
totaled 115 in 1900. In 1951 the
total was one.
