Civil Air Transport Crisis

The decision OF the ClVll AerOnautlCS
Board to hold hearings on proposal to
merge National Airlines with other estab-
lished air carriers sets the stage for a
public discussion of the growing financial
problems of commercial aviation in gen.
eral These problems plagued the air
lines before the war, but they have assumed
such major proportions since VI day as
to command special attention of such
groups as the Presidents Air Policy Com
mission and the Congressional Aviation
Policy Board. The consensus was summed
up in the statement of the presidential
commission that the air lines "are passing
through one Of the most serious crises of
their history"
The crisis which confronts National Air
lines is a good example. National, which
operates between New York, Miami and
New Orleans, with an of1shoot to Havana,
had operating losses during the first quar-
ter Of this year Of nearly 100000. For the
twelve preceding months its losses aggre-
gated more than 100000. In June it
filled only SO per cent of its seats, as COM
pared with Eastern Airlines' 60 per cent.
Eastern is Nationals chief competitor. To
aggravate Nationals troubles, its regular
pilots went on strike last February, neceSsi-
tating employment of nonunion pilots since
that time. 1t is obvious that no airline
can operate Indefinitely with such losses
as have confronted National.
Most other airlines are operating in the
red, too. The Presidents commission
pointed out that these carriers suffered
losses totaling more than s22 2000, 900 in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1947. Both the
commission and the congressional board
saw in this situation a threat not only to
the welfare of the public which depends
on air transportation but to the security
of the Nation. The commission declared
that the air lines must be kept strong and
healthy because of their value as "a po-
tential military auxiliary"
The commission blamed the financial
plight Of civil air transport on "over-
optimism" both by the Government and
by the industry as to the volume of post
war passenger traffic. With the end of
the war the air lines launched enthusi-
astically into a program of expansion of
routes and air fleets that proved to be
unjustif1ed. A series of major aviation
disasters was an unforeseen development
that hurt business to an unmeasurable
degree. Rising costs of payrolls and ma
terials added to the deficits.
1t was against this discouraging back
ground that the commission urged the
CAB to institute careful study of air.
line routes and operations, with view to
curing overexpansion where necessary and
generally improving efficiency of the
companies. The proposal to break up
National Airlines and distribute its routes
among Pan American Airways, Delta Air
Lines, Eastern Air Lines and perhaps
| other operators is In line with the com.

Clara Barton's Property


With reference to the article on Clara Barton
in your issue of September 9, would like to
sav that her house in Glen Echo, for a number
Of years the headquarters Of the American Red
Cross, was decided by her to DR.. Julian B. Hub
bell with contents" in November, 1908.
Dr. Hubben decided the property to his two
nieces in 1929 After his death, Miss Rena
Hubbel settled his estate. This work was car
ried out with the sincere wish that the contents
Of the house should be disposed Of as Miss
Barton would have desired. Remaining rela-
tives Of the Barton family commended Miss
Hubbell for her efforts.
All Of the foreign memorials. besides some
very personal possessions, were given to the
American Red Cross Society for Its museum.
Miss Barton's diaries-some 30 In number-and
. large collection Of her papers were contrib
uted to the Manuscripts Division Of the Library
Of Congress. Her volume Of Shakespeare, pre-
sented to her in February, 1865, in recognition
OF her services to the wounded Of the 10th
Army Corps, went to the Folger Shakespeare
Library. An autographed quilt Of the 6sth
Massachusetts, Regiment was sent to the Clara
Barton Memorial Birthplace ut North oxford,
Mass. Family portraits were forwarded to the
Bartons in Northampton, Mass. A few pieces
Of furniture stil are in the Clara Barton house
at Glen Echo. The rest are in the Hubbel
fanily-treasured pieces.
Not single thing Of Clara Barton's ever was
sold to q second hand dealer or any one else.

was established by the War Crimes Commis-
sion.
Every believer in our democratic ideals must
agree with Mr.. Poullada's opinion that de-
fendant can only be convicted on the basis of
evidence, not on the basis Of rlmors, and that
emotional bias should not interfere with the ad-
ministration Of justice. It is explained by the
circumstances in which crimes in concentration
camps were committed that very rarely direct
evidence could be established and that the
judges had to rely upon witnesses Mr.. Poul-
lada asserts that the reviewing board ap-
parently was not satisfied with Mrs. Koch's SEN
tence and shortened it on the basis Of their
judgment that insufficient evidence was brought
Mr. Poullada also states that the military au-
thorities in Germany came to the conclusion
that emotional factors guided the judges Of the
trials in Dachu in their decision.
6-year veteran Of Buchenwald cannot
believe that no proof of Mrs. Koch's guilt could
be established during trial which lasted many
weeks; he cannot believe that the witnesses
could do no more than repeat rumors about her
activities.
On the basis of my own personal experience
could have given first-hand testimony con-
cerning Mrs. Kochs brutal activities in Buch-
enwald. Had believed that the United States
Army would be unable to produce reliable wit
nesses myself would have volunteered to ap-
pear before the court. Hundreds Of my fellow
prisoners witnessed those activities. The Army
certainly should have been able to locate some
OF these people who could have easily been
proved to be men of integrity whose testimony
could be admitted as authoritative. 1t would
not have required great skill in criminology or
psychology to differentiate the former green"
L~, as%
who were imprisoned for their political and re-
igious convictions.
I am deeply alarmed by Mr.. Poulladas as
sertion that Mrs. Koch was tried for moral de-
pravity and callousness. To my knowledge she
was accused not of these personal traits but Of
overt manifestations thereof which were classi-
ded as war crimes.
myself saw Mrs. Koch whip prisoners; as
laborer in the construction of the "Reithalle"-
an arena for her personal use-I saw her insti-
gate SIS men to beat prisoners as a result Of
which several died.
must also comment on Mr. Poullada's
statements concerning the lampshades Of hu-
man skin. They cannot be dismissed as the OBJ
jects Of scandal manufacturers; they really
existed. If the reporter whom Mr.. Poullada
mentions could not find them in Mrs. Kochs
former home, he should have gone to the Path
illogical Institute of the camp-yes, such
thing existed-where they were displayed and
shown to the astonished citizens of Weimar, by
order of Gen. Eisenhower.
Every uninformed reader Of Mr.. Poulladas
article must gain the impression that Mrs.
Koch is not criminal and that she is victim
of an error of justice. believe this is in gross
disagreement with the facts. 1t seems to me
that statements such as those expressed by Mr..
Poullada defeat the purpose Of the war crime
trials even more than the minor defects In their
performance about which he seems to be so
much concerned. DIR. PAUL HELLER.

In the Questions and Answers column OF

The answer is wrong in its implication, but

A. Yes, 1t Is q nut.

SINGLE People o. X.


To the Editor of The Star:
read the letter of w. H. Corkrean in The
Star for September 28 and I agree with him
whole-heartedly in the first portion of his
communication, that provision should be made
for the accommodation Of families and young
couples in suitable apartments.
However, do not agree with him that any,
body should be ousted to make room for fam
lilies or young couples. = vast majority Of
whom have no children. In many instances
children are not wanted by the couples them
selves by the landlords or by the neighboring
roomers.
But it is the last paragraph in Mr.. Corkrean's
letter to which take solid objection when he
says: These single man and women are en-
joying the benefits Of married life without
assuming the responsibilities.
That u q very specious remark and Mr..
Corkrean owes an apology to the thousands
Of men and women who, notwithstanding his
quirked view Of life, are living lives Of chastity
group by the indiscretions Of few, any more
than We would condemn whole race for the
perpetration of . crime by one person.
There Is entirely too much Of this damaging
supposition that single people cannot adjust
themselves to single life. There are just as
many fragrant violations Of the moral law on
the part Of the married folks Is on the part
Of single people, and Mr.. Corkrean should learn
that right now. Everybody does not elect to
enter the married state, and many are not
ftted for It.
hope this will be the last Of such aspersions
cast In the direction Of single people and their
mode Of life. I. r. N.

To the Editor Of The Star:
It certainly is great tribute to the American
sense Of justice that the case Of Ilse Koch has
aroused 30 much public discussion.
Having spent the years 1s39-ls45 in the con-
centration camps Of Buchenwald and Ausch-
witz, followed this discussion with great inter-
est. Although it was not my intention to par
ticipate in the discussion, the opinion recently
expressed in your paper by Mr.. Poullada
aroused me 20 much that cannot keep silent
any longer.
The allegations Of Mr.. Poullada concerning
the trials in Dachau shocked me deeply.
Hitherto, believed that these trials furnished
sufncient and proper evidence Of the guilt Of
the defendants, and that the sentences were
passed on the basis Of such evidence, and &C.

water, grading eggs, h%oisting hay, or
cooling dairy products.
Right Motor for Every Job
MIR. RIETZ added that the price of
wi modern electric motors has been re-
duced to a point where the farmer can
now afford to own two or more types of
motors including a large heavy-duty
motor for his tough jobs, and smaller
motors for lighter operations. For this
reason, farmers are securing the full BEN
eits of motorized" farming. For, just as
heavy loads require a team of two or
more horses, so an electric motor with
adequate power should be used for heav-
Ter applications.
1t was also stated by Mr.. Rietz that any
power supplier's farm specialist, or any
G-E Farm and Home Dealer will be glad
to aid in selecting the proper motor and
control for any particular type of farm
job. The Farm Industry Division, Cen
