O'ConneNs CAB Resignation
Recalls Pan Am Merger Plan
Chuirmun Refuses
To Link Decision With
Controversy, However

Joseph j. O'Connell, jr., quit
as Civil Aeronautics Board chair
man yesterday. and there was i'm
mediate speculation that his de-
cision was linked with pending
White House action on one of
the most controversial cases in
the boards history.
Since early last month, Presi-
dent Truman has had on his desk
the boards decision on the pro-
posed sale of the American Over
seas Airline to its giant trans-At-
lantic competitor, Pan American
World Airways.
No announcement has been
made but it has been reported
that the CAB rejected the merger
plan by a 3-to-2 vote, with Mr..
IO'Connell siding with the major

Reached at his home last night.
the former chairman refused to
comment.
IT consistently refrained from
any comment on that case when
I was on the board and I am
not going to change now that I'm
off" he declared emphatically.
He added that his letter of res
ignation to Mr.. Truman. in which
he stated he wanted to leave for
personal reasons, speaks for it.

There have been reports in in
dustry circles that the President,
who must rule on all CAB deci-
sions affecting international avi-
alton, may reverse the board on
the American Overseas-Pan Amer
lean case.
Clifford Visit Recalled.
One complicating factor enters
the picture, however. Clark Cliff
ford, formerly one of Mr.. Tru-
mans top advisers, now is a law
yer for Pan American.
Mr.. Clifford visited the Presi-
dent in Key West last spring. after
he took on the airline as client
and while the merger was being
argued bitterly before the CAB.
According to one White House
source, the visit was regarded as
being in very bad taste"
Observers point out that if Mr..
Truman had planned to approve
the merger, he would be on a spot
because of the Clifford matter.

Commissioners the milk act pro-
hibits shipment of milk and cream
into the District from farms not
inspected and given proper rating

Gus donors to assure camping for
hundreds of needy children this
summer, a final accounting
showed yesterday.
The campaign to "send a kid

to fill the gap in funds resulting
from the fact that United Com

there were places at Camps Good

topped that goal and was able
to announce that 271 children
would be sent to camp through
contributions to the fund.-

Additional gifts, however, con-
tinued to pour in and it was de-
cided to send youngsters to other
nearby camps serving needy chill
dren.
When those needs were filled,
$2,562.59 remained in the fund.
AS in past years when gifts have
continued to rcll in after the
camping season got underway.
