Washington, Dec. l2.-(AP)- De-
VelOpment of short distance inter-city

from an operation and economic
standpoint today by c. Bedell Monro,
president Of the Pennsylvania Cen
trail Air Lines.
Monro appeared before Civil
Aeronautics Authority examiner hold
ing hearings on Penn Centrals APP
pIcation to operate from Norfolk,
Va, to Knoxville, Tenn, with stops
at seven North Carolina cities, whose
average distance apart is only 81
miles. The company's route also
would extend from Knoxville to
Cincinnati, Ohio, with stop at Lex

Monro said his company had made
an exhaustive study Of possibilities
of short hop operations over the

cided there would be sufficient bust
ness to justify the venture.
North Carolina stops would be at
Elizabeth City, Rocky Mount, Ra-
