Independent AirIines
Say New CAB Rules
will Wipe Them Out

Independent air lines protested
today that new regulations laid
down by the Civil Aeronautics
Board yesterday would knock
them out of business.
Chairman James Fischgrund Of
the National Independent Air Car
riers said the CABS action would
jeopardize the life savings Of
World War II veterans who have
entered the field.
The CAB action, designed to
slow down. II not stop. the ex-
tensive cut-rate, nonscheduled air
line business, ordered that the
large irregular carriers obtain In
dividual licenses to fly after May
20. It added that such permits
would be issued only where 1t was
demonstrated that a need for q
regular air service existed.
1t thereby revoked the blanket
authority heretofore enjoyed by
the large irregular carriers. There
are ITO of these and the board has
accused some with maintaining
flights of such regularity as to
place them In direct competition
with the scheduled flight COM
panies.
The competitive situation be-
tween scheduled and nonscheduled
carriers has been under investiga-
ton by the CAB and by congress
sional committees for several
months.
The board said that those apply
ing for individual licensing could
continue to operate while 1t was
considering the application.
The blanket authority for about
1000 small irregular air carriers

10000 pounds takeoff weight-will

TOO block of First street NV. by
two white men who grabbed her
as she left the tavern about 1880
am. One of the men raped her,

Early diagnosis and early treat

Is to find those people who have

Public Health officials, the medical
profession and tuberculosis assOci-
atlons for years have emphasized
the warning signals of tuberculosis

over the radio. but there annaars
to be a relatively fixed number of
tuberculosis victims who disre-

do little about it until it is too late
The warning signs are usually
sufficiently noticeable to attract at
tentiOn, and they include a cough
that persists, loss of weight and
easy tiring. OF course, these svmp-
toms can be present in the absence
of tuberculosis, but it is sheer fol-

be so.

are more cases of tuberculosis in
the state than there were five
years ago, point out health offic-
ials. The fact is that more cases
are being found today largely be
cause of the State Board of
Health's Mobile X-Ray Unit which
brings its free X-ray service to
practically every town in the
state, as well as to many of Della
wares industrial plants.
Last year the Mobile Unit x
rayed 24,S64 people in Delaware
and found So probable cases of tu-
berculOsis. The remained of the
340 cases found were discovered
in the tuberculosis clinics, of
which there are seven throughout
the state, and by private physic-
ians.
Although deaths from this dis
ease in the state have been cut in
half during the past 20 years, tu-
berculOsis claimed the lives of 13O
in Delaware in 1948, and
in 1947 was 9Th in the cause of
deaths in the state and 7th nation
ally. A decline in the mortality rate
in Delaware is expected, however,
