American Airmen Praise Russian
Jet Liner; Soviets Ask Commercial
Airline Agreement With the U.S.
McGuire air force base,
N.J., UPC-Russia is bidding for a
commercial airline agreement
with the United States, and
American airmen expressed un
stinted admiration yesterday for
the Soviet jet transport that has
made the trip from Moscow.
The TU-104, silvery, big bodied
and powerful, set down at Mc
Guire Air Force Base Wednesday
night, the first Russian passenger
airliner ever to land in the U.S.
Promptly, a high-placed Soviet
official read a prepared statement
from the steps of the ramp:
“Let this flight be the begin
ning of regular flights between
the Soviet Union and the United
States,” he said. “Hail to the
friendship of the Soviet and
American peoples.” .
CAB Will Reconsider
Pan Am Application
For Seattle Passengers
WASHINGTON, lb—The Civil
Aeronautics Board said Wednes
day it will reconsider an applica
tion by Pan American Airways
for permission to pick up passen
gers in Seattle and Portland cn
its flights to Japan.
The CAB said it was acting on
the request of President Eisen
hower.
Both Pan American and North
west-Orient Airlines now , have
CAB certificates to fly the great
circle route from the United
States to Tokyo. Northwest origi
nates its flights in Seattle and
Portland. Pan American origi
nates its flights in California and
its Portland-Seattle stops are now
limited to refueling.
Northwest-Orient recently was
given permanent certification to
fly from New York to Japan by
way of Chicago, Minneapolis and
Anchorage.
Women's Society of the Metho
dist Church will meet with Mrs.
Helen Draper Friday evening at
8 o'clock at her home. Co-hostess
will be Virginia Pruitt.
13l/2 Hours Flying Time
By special agreement, the TU
104 brought 40 people—mainly
members of the Russian delega
tion to the United Nations—over
the 5,540-mile route from Moscow
to the air base in New Jersey.
The twin-jet liner, delayed by
bad weather and refuelling stops,
took a total elapsed time of 21
hours 54 minutes. Crewmen fixed
the acutal flying time at just over
13Vi hours.
The Russians say they have
other jet liners,' bigger than the
TU-104, that will fly nonstop from
Moscow to New York.
U.S. and British Guides
American and British airmen,
picked up to guide the TU-104
thru British and American air(
space, had high praise for its
performance. “It’s an excellent
ship,” said Capt. Boris Dubson,
37, of San Francisco, senior navi
gator. “It’s smooth in flight and
has very good performance at
both high and low speeds.”
Dubson said he has flown “lots
of jets,” but no passenger trans
ports. Hence, he said, he would
not compare this plane with U.S.
jet-liners soon to go into service.
Squadron Leader Lawrence Dale
of Britain’s Royal Air Force said
the new version of the Comet, a
British jet passenger airliner, “is
much more lively.”
Russians Ahead in This
The veteran aircraft designer,
Maj. Alexander Seversky, on
hand to see the TU-104, said “the
Russians are ahead of us with
this particular jet engine. We are
operating with a 10,000-pound
thrust whereas they say this has
17,500 pounds thrust.”
Seversky said the newest Amer
ican models will carry the same
or more poweY
