Pilots Endorse,
Airlines Oppose
On-Time Proposal
WASHINGTON, MV-A Civil
Aeronautics Board proposal to re
quire airlines to operate 75 per
cent of their schedules on time
has been endorsed by the airline
pilots but strongly opposed by
most of the airlines.
A safety expert of the Civil
Aeronautics Administration also
opposed the plan, on which the
CAB will conduct oral argument
on Sept. 26.
W. B. Davis, director of the
CAA Office of Aviation Safety,
said in comments filed with the
CAB that the px-oposal “could
have adverse effects on safety by
exerting undue pressure on the
' operation and maintenance per
sonnel.” Davis recommended that
the proposal not be adopted.
W. B. Andrews, director of the
CAB Bui-eau of Safety Investiga
tion, xeplied that the objection
raised by Davis “appears to be
without grounds since the 25 per
cent allowance for late arrivals
would be adequate for unforesee
able delays such as mechanical
difficulties and protracted hold
ing in approach patterns.”
The Air Line Pilots Association
urged adoption of the proposed
regulation as a measure to build
confidence in aviation, increase
the pleaure of air travel, and re
lieve pressures on flight crews.
The Air Transport Assn. (ATA>,
speaking for the scheduled air
lines, called the proposal “com
pletely unsound” and said the
CAB had no legal power to pro
mulgate such a rule.
Four Alaskan airlines—Wien
Alaska, Alaska Coastal, Cordova,
and Northern Consolidated—i'e
quested that if the regulation is
adopted that it not apply to air
lines within Alaska, where they
said conditions provide unusual
operating problems.
The maintenance of a high
standard of cleanliness and order j
is a basic element of Fire Preven- ■
tion. The proper and regular dis
posal of waste paper and other I
combustible materials is of utmost
importance. Metal receptacles,
preferably covered, should be
used.
Nasser Says West’s Plan For Running
Suez Canal Is ‘Declaration of War
CAIRO, Egypt, (tfl—President*
Nasser Saturday called the plan
of the Western big three for run
ning the Suez Canal “a declara
tion of war." He charged Britain
and France were trying to ob
struct navigation in the canal, but
said their efforts had failed.
Nasser took his adamant stand
in a fiery speech two days after
Secretary of> State Dulles urged
Egypt to reconsider its opposition
to the international users proposal
of the United States, France and
Britain.
At the same time, Nasser pro
claimed victory over what he
termed a French and British con
spiracy to snarl canal operations
Saturday, the first day that Egypt
shouldered the task of running
■the canal.
Nasser charged France and
Britain put pressure on employes
of the old Suez Canal Co. to quit,
then sent a larger number of ships
than usual thru the canal, “to
complete their conspiracy of ob
structing navigation.”
But, Nasser said, 70 Egyptian
and 7 Greek pilots were keeping
traffic moving smoothly. He said
nothing about a token force of
Soviet pilots rushed in by Mos
cow. More than 400 veteran for
eign pilots, engineers and techni
cians quit in a bunch Friday mid
night.
They said they were unwilling
to work for the Egyptian canal
authority set up after Nasser na
tionalized the old canal company
properties July 26.
Nasser declared he found the
U.S. attitude puzzling. He said
President Eisenhower advocated
a peaceful solution but U.S. State
Department support of the inter
national plan “means they will
help Britain provoke the Egyptian ;
people into a clash with Britain.”
Nasser said Britain and France i
“conspire against their own inter- j
ests” ... to prove to the world ]
Egypt’s inability to run the canal |
9
so they must come in and run it
themselves.
The Egyptian President said
the Egyptian and Greek pilots
“courageously resisted all incen
tives to leave.” He announced he
was awarding them the Medal of
Merit.
Nasser declared England and
France had threatened force
against Egypt and proclaimed:
“An attack on Egypt it an attack
on all Arabs. We will fight any
one who attacks Egypt. We will
wage guerrilla warfare or any
kind of defense to defend Egypt
against attack.”
In (the walkout of canal em
ployes were about 100 foreign
ship pilots. For the first time in
Suez history that left the job of
getting ships thru the hazardous,
103-mile waiterway strictly up to
the Egyptians and the few foreign
pilots staying on.
An all-Egyptian staff got a big
29-ship convoy moving from Suez
up the channel toward Port Said
on the Mediterranean Saturday
without any apparent hitch.
Egyptian canal officials were
overjoyed when the convoy of 16
tankers, 12 cargo vessels and one
passenger ship got off ahead of
schedule.
