$8,000 Difference Noted In
Cost of Flying Pacific By
Northern, Central Routes
WASHINGTON, — Rep.
Pelly (R - Wash) asked the Air
Force to explain an $8,060 differ
ence in two recent analysis of the
comparative cost of operating air
craft between the West Coast and
Tokyo via the central Pacific or
northern Pacific routes.
In a letter to Maj. Gen. Joe W.
Kelly, Air Force director of leg
islative liaison, he said a recent
analysis supplied to Rep. Holified
(D-Calif), chairman of the House
Military Operations subcommit
tee, stated it cost only $2,168.80
more to fly a DC-6 aircraft round
trip from San Francisco to Tokyo
via the central Pacific than from
Seatle to Tokyo via the northern
Pacific.
Two years ago, he said, the Air
Force had advised him the dif
ference in cost was $10,413.86 per
round trip flight.
Pelly, asserting that the two
comparisons contained “obvious
discrepancies,” told Kelly he was
"very skeptical over the substan
tial difference” in the two an
alyses.
The Seattle congressman’s re
quest was part of a continuing
rivalry between members of the
Washington and California con
gressional delegation over the
division of military operations to
the Orient between the central
and north Pacific routes.

GOPs Seek Details
Of Agreement By
Ike and Nixon
WASHINGTON, UP) — Sen.
Knowland said Thursday Repub
lican congressional leaders will
seek details of the understand
ing between President Eisen
hower and Vice President Nixon
on what to do if the President
becomes disabled.
Eisenhower disclosed at his
news conference Wednesday
that such an understanding exists
between him and the Vice Presi
dent, and is known to some other
associates. But he did not say
what it provides.
Knowland said the matter will
be discussed at Eisenhower’s next
White House meeting with GOP
leaders from the capitol next
Tuesday.
Knowland said congressional
leaders were informed within the
last week or two that there was
an understanding—but he said he
does not know whether it is in
writing or what the understand
ing involves.
He said he believes it advisable
that congressional leaders be in
formed as to the nature of the
understanding, even though the
details are not made public.
Sen. Dirksen (R-Ill) predicted,
meanwhile, that the Senate Jud
iciary Committee will agree on a
proposed constitutional amend
ment that would permit the cab
inet to determine presidential in
ability by majority vote.
