CAB Drops Plans
For Proposed Merger
Of Alaska Airlines
WASHINGTON, W—1The Civil
Aeronautics Board has dropped
plans for the proposed merger of
Western Airlines with either or
both Pacific Northern and Alaska
Airlines.
A study of such a possibility,
ordered by the board in April, has
been amended, a board spokesman
said, to drop Western from con
sideration.
The amended order directs a
study to determine whether it
would be in the public interest to
merge Pacific Northern and Al
aska if their operating authority
is extended beyond the present
expiration date of Dec. 31, 1953.
No date has been set for hearing.
