CAB to Reopen Hearings
On Passenger, Cargo Rates
From Seattle to Alaska
<AP Special Washington Service!
WASHINGTON — The Civil
Aeronautics Board decided Wed
nesday to reopen Dec. 16 its hear
ings on airline passenger and car
go rates between Alaska and the
Pacific Northwest.
Examiner Paul N. Pfeiffer
granted requests for a rehearing
filed by Northwest Airlines, Pac
ific Northern Airlines, Air Trans
port Associates and the CAB’s
Bureau of Air Operations.
The rehearing will permit testi
mony on the effect of the recently
established Ocean Van Line ex
press and refrigerated cargo ser
vice between Seattle and Anchor
age and Fairbanks, Alaska.
Pfeiffer said that if the new
water-ground service reduces Al
aska’s need for expanded air car
go service from Portland and Se
attle, there “may be a need for
lower competitive cargo rates
rather than the same or higher
rates proposed by the carriers in
this proceeding.”

Truman at the White House, the
Washington residence for which
he bid in his unsuccessful cam
paign for the presidency.

of the Democratic Party.

Board Chairman
Protests Truman’s
Wage Boost O.K.
WASHINGTON, (£>)—President
Truman’s wage board chairman
quit his job Thursday in protest
over the President’s approval of
an extra wage boost for coal
miners above and beyond the
recommendations of all top de
fense agency officials.
Archibald Cox, chairman of the
Wage Stabilization Board, waited
only overnight to resign. He made
no formal statement.
The Truman action, while it
was counter to recommendations
of his stabilization lieutenants,
did assure a year of peace in the
coal mines.
The President late Wednesday
approved the full $1.90 daily wage
increase for John L. Lewis’ 375,
000 soft coal miners. He said he
didn’t want President-elect Eisen
hower to have a coal strike crisis
on his hands when he takes office.
While the move averted an al
most certain strike, it opened the
door to a boost in coal prices to
consumers and touched off unrest
among public and industry mem
bers of the wage board. The board
majority had held that a wage
boost beyond $1.50 would be in
flationary.
WSB Chairman Cox, a 40-year
old Harvard law professor, has
been in office for four months. He
succeeded Nathan P. Feinsinger,
whose actions in the steel case
last summer resulted in Congress
passing a law restricting the pow
ers of the WSB.
