Single Overseas Air Line
Urged by Railroad Group

A resolution urging that foreign
and American international arlines
be compelled to terminate at border
ports, to give domestic transporta-
ton systems their fair share of traf-
fic, and that the United States have
only one international airline, with
all air transport companies being
given an opportunity to have an
interest In the line has been adopted
by the Railway Labor Executives
Association, 1t was reported today.
The association pointed out that
ait is most important from our labor
point of view that rail carriers as
well as domestic airlines should OBJ
tain their fair share of through in
ternational trafiic moving across the
United States as in the past.
The group opposed any one
American flag airline having a
monopoly over the Nations foreign
commerce.
TT would appear" 1t was stated
that one international airline, rep
resenting the United States in the
International field, In which the do
mestic carriers would have an op-
portunity to have an interest, would
be much more desirable than to
have a number of American flag
airlines not only competing with
each other in the international field
but against the subsidized Govern
ment-operated airlines of foreign
countries"
The association suggested that
the single airline be organized by
the Government and be subject to
proper controls and regulations.
