Recent crashes have taken such
a toll that the airlines would have
to double the passenger miles they
flew last year-and without any
more casualties - to match the
1916 mark of 1.2 fatalities per

The Air Transport association
announced that. in the first four
months of 1947, the airlines chalk
ed up 1871, 1o9, 900 passenger miles.
This was a 16 per cent gain over
the record-breaking figure for the
same period last year.
But, ever with greater gains
expected during the summer
months, it indicated extreme i'm
probability that the airlines will
fly 1920, 900 passenger miles this
year. That is what they would
have to do to double last years
figure.
Already this year, 1872 passen-

HOUSE APPROVES
PROMOTION PLAN
Army, Navy Seniority Sys-
tenn Would go Out, Merit
TAKE Its Place

WASHINGTON, June rs - R-
The House today approved a bill
providing for sweeping revision OF
the Army and Navy promotion sys-
TENS on an up-or-out basis affect
ing the careers of 1880 officers.
In all branches of the armed
forces, best qualified officers would
move W, under the bill. UNFIT ones
would move out.
The measure, the first ever draft
ed in this field covering Army and
Navy personnel together-also pro-
vides for a sharp curtailment in
the number of peacetime' generals
and admirals.
Except for eight top-flight Off
GERS who now hold the rank, the
wartime grade of five-star gene
rails and admirals would be abolish
BY Voice Vote
The House passed the measure
by voice vote and sent it to the
Senate. The bill has the backing
Of both the Army and the Navy.
The House armed services COM
mittee, declaring that the new
system would promote moral and
efficiency, said the bill offers:
"a program that will offer
careers satisfactory enough to at:
tract capable men, promising
enough to hold in service the CAP
able men already in uniform, and
economical enough to be accept
able from a budgetary standpoint"
The bill would abolish the army's
traditional system of promotion by
seniority in grades below colonel.
Unier it, officers have advanced
automatically to the next higher
rank after SO many years service,
regardless of qualifications.
New System
The new system calls for pro-
motion by selection in the lower
Army ranks. Boards Of officers
would determine whether an Off
Ger is good enough to advance. II
he isn't, he goes out.
The Navy has had a selection
system for years.

| What theRussions
IAre SAYING of U.s.:

The Mosco10 radio, broddcdsting i
English to North America, last wee
said:
Certain newspapers and maga-
zines in the United States and
Britain have utilized the execu-
ton of the traitor, Nikola Petkov,
to launch another campaign of
lies and slander about the Bull
garian people. 1t would seem as
though countries which call
themselves democratic should
have no objection to the execu-
ton of a criminal whose crimes
against his country and its demo-
cratic regime were thoroughly
proved in a public trial. But the
opposite is true! Numerous de-
tenders of the executed traitor
are filling the American and
British press with calumny and
insinuations about the young
Bulgarian republic and the
Fatherland Front government.
THE exposure of Petkov. the
trial, and finally his execution
could not but arouse the fury Of
the foreign circles which gave
Petkov quarters. This meant the
loss of a faithful servant, and 1t
must be said these circles did
their utmost to save a most evil
enemy of the Bulgarian people"
