AIR TRANSP0
FIRMS MERGE

NEW YORK, April "a ON.
S0.-Completoin Of the long
Iaeralded transcontinental air pas
senger service under one unit
was virtually assured in the "ic-
tory today of the United Aircraft
and Transport, Inc, for the con-
troll of the National Air Trans
port Corporation.
The terms of stock exchange
are three shares of the latter
corporation stock for one share
Of the stock of United Aircraft
and Transportation. This is in
the nature of a compromise from
the previous offer of three-and-
one-hah for one, which was op-
posed by the directors Of the Ma
tional Air Transport Corpora
ton.
Ths majority Of the present
board Of National Air Transport
will be replaced by representa-
tiveS of the United Aircraft Inter
sets, although the latter proposes
to retain all Of the operating
personnel of the former COM
pany. Frederick B.. Rentschler,
president of United Aircraft and
Transportation Corporation will
shortly be designated chairman
Of the board and president of
National Air Transport, Inc.
All pending litigation in the
Delaware courts brought about
through the struggle for control
will be terminated.

Bond and Share created most
of them, as subholding COM
panies, for utility companies it
already controlled or bought up
later.
Turning an official searchlight
for the first time upon this
maze of deals, the commission
found that Bond and Share. in
1927, collected $148,800 in divi-
dends on its stock in South

this cost, he testified, was 3,1O2
per cent.

BY CLINTON COFFIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer

Congressional debate over the pro-
posed new Federal policy of regulating
passenger highway traffic is tentatively
scheduled to begin before the House
next week.
After some months of work and more
than a year of study the House inter-
state commerce committee has reported
V it'll practical unanimity a measure by
which the expanding bus services now
operating all over the country will be
put as completely under public control
in fares and conditions of service as are
railroads. Though Federal power to
regulate interstate commerce is invoked
by the committee bill, and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will have
to apply most of its sections, the meas
sure as drawn lodges very considerable
responsibility for highway passenger
traffic regulation with State regulatory
| bodies.
Chairman Parker of the House COM
mittee. who has long directed his at
tention to the problems presented by
unregulated long-distance passenger bus
operation, is rather confident that the
new House bill will go through this ses-
I sion. If IL does, no bus service can be
/ begun or continued in interstate trans
portation unless its operators hold q
certificate that public convenience and
necessity require the functioning OF
their enterprise. Such certificates would
be issued by joint board of State util-
| ity commission representatives in cases
where the intended service involved two
States, but where three or more States
might happen to be drawn into a bus
operation the certificates would be is
