C.A.B. Subsidies Fall to
$8 Millions for Fiscal 1961
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Civil
Aeronautics Board plans to spend
eight million dollars for subsidies
to seven Alaska air carriers for
the year starting next July.
This is a decrease of about
$750,000 from the estimate for the
current fiscal year, a House Ap
propriations Subcommittee was
told in testimony made public
this week.
The CAB told the comimttee:
“Air service within, to. and
from this state is vital to the
national defense. Without air
transportation, communication in
many instances wohld not exist
in Alaska.
The subsidy for Alaska service
has ranged between five million
and eight million dollars for the
past six to seven years, the CAB
said.
“Although we cannot predict
that the subsidy will be eliminated
completely during the next dec
ade, the trend is slightly down
ward,” it said.
