Air Route Franchise
Procedure Outlined
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government outlined TODAY
the procedure it proposes to follow
in awarding international air routes
to American operators after the
war, but shed no light on the role
this country plans to play in world
aviation of the future.
To eliminate any possible con-
fusion in the minds of the aviation
industry and the public generally"
the State Department and the Civil
Aeronautics Board defined their
separate tasks in the development
of international air transportation
services.
This is the procedure to be fol-
lowed. the joint statement said:
Applications for certificates for
new international air services will
be filed with the CAB. The carrier
then must show at hearing be-
fore the board that public conven-
fence and necessity are at stake.
Questions of landing rights and
other matters affecting foreign pol
icy will be dealt with in consulta-
tion between the State Department
and the CAB. The diplomatic serv-
ice will deal with foreign govern
ments for new or additional rights.
Foreign carriers seeking to oper-
ate into the United States must ask
their governments to forward their
applications through diplomatic
channels. The State Department
will send all such applications to the
CAB. After this, pending a decision
of an application, technical and 9TH
er details will be handled directly
with the CAB.
