The planes awarded by an in
terdepartmental board yesterday
to the three lines-eight to Pan
Am and six each to Annex and
TWA-are a type known as
C-54E. They already are equip
ped with plush seats and are
readily convertible to CONNER
cial use. Even so, at least 80
days will be needed to get them
ready.
SAME EQUIPMENT
The United States is certain to
dangle a group Of the same mod
els before foreign air interests
while negotiating for CONNER
cial air rights. Some 20 or IS
more C-54Es-the Douglas Sky
master type-will be available
in short time, and at least 100
other C-54 models will be de-
clared surplus later this year.
But they will be less easily con-
verted.
The government bought the
"E' models for S385,000 each.
The price to the airlines will be
around 70 per cent of that, with
an allowance up to 40 per cent
toward conversion costs. A COM
mercial Skymaster fresh from
the factory will sell for S410,-
600.
In addition to the four-engine
transports, the surplus property
board soon will have around 400
two-engine Douglas planes of
the DC-3 type known militarily
as the CAT. Many of these will
have too high conversion costs
to be of value to domestic air
lines, but some foreign countries
will be able to use them COM

is because the United States has
transit rights in Newfoundland
and full landing rights in Fire.
Beyond that the situation varies
greatly.
Pan Am and Annex may make
limited number of flights to
London under a wartime agree
ment subject to cancellation on
six months notice. In addition,
under a permanent agreement,
Pan American may make two
round trips weekly to London.
Take Annex route runs to the
Netherlands, where this country
has commercial rights; to Ber-
lin, where we should be able to
land; to Finland, Poland and
Russia, in all of which we still
must negotiate. The other
Annex route goes to Iceland and
Sweden, where agreements have
been obtained, and to Denmark
and Norway where prospects
are good.
NEED AGREEMENTS
Pan American has rights in
Portugal and to Marseille,
France, but negotiations must be
completed with Belgium, Czech

landing rights; Rome, where an

prison convicts rioted at Sunday

and silverware wildly for half-an-
hour in a demonstration Warden
