East Airlines, will arrive in Will
mington tomorrow to negotiate a
contract with the City-county air
port authority for the use of Blue
thenthal airport, it was announced
yesterday by Albert F. Perry,

their former base of operators.
In 1929, the Penningtons estab-
lished the first flying service in
the Wilmington area at the present
site of Bluethenthal. Their first
planes took off from a small, home
made runway. Later the county
constructed another runway which
was supplemented by a third run
way, built with Works Progress Ad-
ministration funds. When war came
and the Army Air Forces took over
the airport, Bluethenthal was
transformed into the modern air
port it is today.
The Penningtons have seven
planes based at Bluethenthal-three
trainers, one passenger plane, and
three advanced trainers - as well
as facilities for servicing aircraft.
The flying service will operate an
advanced flying school, approved
by the Civil Aeronautics authority,
and rep ir and maintenance
schools.
Also provided are facilities for
the storage, repair and fueling OF
transient aircraft with 80 and 81
soctane gasoline.
All of the employees of Penning-
ton Flying service are CAA-licen-
sed pilots with total of more than
1900 flying hours. James c. Pen
nington, ex-Major in the AAF, flew
1.-The hump" II China during his
overseas service. Assisting him in

UN Council Hopes Talk
Will Encourage Spanish
People To Gust Franco

NEW YORK, April 10. - U.p' -
United Nations Security Council
members hoped tonight on the eve
Of the councils reconvening that
full airing of Poland's charges
against Spain would encourage the
Spanish people to get rid of Gen
eralissimo Francisco Franco.
Council members who do not
think the UN should take action
against Spain nevertheless sup
port full discussion Of the Spanish
situation in the hope that it will:
l. Strengthen anti-Franco senti-
ment inside Spain.
2. Weaken Francois position
among the Spanish people ad es-
pecially within the Spanish army.
This view was held especially by
council members who do not agree
with Poland and Russia that the
Spanish regime now menaces world
peace and consider it an internal
matter. Notable among these are
the United States and Britain.

Rights Amendment. sponsored by
the National Women's party and
favored by other wOmen's organ
izatiOn, provides:
Men and women shall lave
equal rights throughout the United
States and every place subject to
its jurisdiction. Its supporters
hold that it is needed to right dis
examinations against women incOr-
poIated in more than 1000 state
laws. They point to laws in various
states which give d husband con-
troll over his wifes earnings or
the right to dispose of the custody
of his children by will, and to
other laws which prevent women
from engaging in independent
businesses and keeping their earn
ings without their husband'c con-
sent. etc.
Those who opposed the Equal
Rights Amendment, including
Carrie Chapman Gait. Eleanor
Roosevelt and prominent tlgureS
in labor contendcd that it would
wipe from state statute books
other laws which protected wOm-
en-. including those concerning
minimum wages, maximum work
ing hours and sanitary working
conditions.
Some action must I've taken OF
the subject of women's status" says
Susan B. Anthony. grandniece OF

chairman of the CAW's commission

amendment. Women are still sec
ond class citizens in the economic

ton. An amendment to the con
stitution is the legal weapon witt
which TO abolish laws detrimental
to women and to prevent future
ones. We hope. in this amendment
we have found a solution which
will wipe out the bad Legislation
