Unbroken in Bermuda
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jan. 23.-
An informed source expressed hope
yesterday for developments within
a few days which might break the
virtual impasse within the United
States delegation to the British
American conference on civil avia-
ton.
The key to the situation rested
with the Civil Aeronautics Board
The board must decide on the extent
its basic policy permits yielding to
British insistence on controls for
rates, frequencies and intermediate
trafnc, and whether such controls
should be inter-governmental or be
exercised by the operators them
selves.
The informant said that while 1t
was obvious both countries had been
holding basically to the positions
they took at the Chicago conference
the United States opposing con-
trolls on rates, frequencies or inter-
mediate trafic-both had given con-
siderable thought to the possibility
Of adjusting viewpoints.
However, within the American
delegation this thinking is not all
along the same lines, and this ac-
counts for the delays here and fol
the presence of the full CAB mem
bership.
