largest bomber, caught fire on the
Fairchild Air Force Base runway

i Eisenhower Vetoes CAB
| Proposal For Merger Of
Eastern, Colonial Airlines
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower has vetoed a proposed
merger of Eastern and Colonial
Airlines.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
(CAB) announced the President’s
action today which overturned its
own recommendation, made sev
eral months ago but kept secret.
Under the law, the case had to go
to the President because of inter
national aspects.
During the lengthy CAB hear
ings last year on the proposed
merger, there were allegations
that Eastern had violated CAB
regulations by buying control of
Colonial in advance of, approval
of the merger application. Eastern
contended that purchase of Colo
nial stock by Eastern officials was
on a personal basis.
The CAB, recommending that
the President approve the merger,
said the stock purchases did not
influence the merger agreement.
However, President Eisenhower
said airline mergers must be in
full compliance with the Civil
Aeronautics Act.
