BY the Associated Press.
American Export AirGnes. Inc.
applied to the Civil Aeronautics
Board today for authority to inaug-
urate a route between New York
and the Irish Free State or Eng
land.
The company asked the board to
grant permission to fly between New
York and Southampton, England
via Foynes. Irish Free State.
In lieu of that, it asked a five
year certificate to operate between
New York and Foynes.
The board once denied the New
York Southampton application be-
cause the Neutrality Act then pro-
hibited operation by American COM
panies in war zones. The board
however, left the way open for the
company to ask reconsideration OF
it's decision when legal prohibitions
had been removed. Under the re-
vised Neutrality Act 1t would be pos
sible for American Export to fly tc
