N0N-5kEDS MAKING
 | MORE REGULATIONS NOW AGAINST CAB

NEW YORK, June 27-iR-The n-scheduled" airlines industry accused the Civil Aeronautics Board yesterday of trying to "evict it from the air" while coddling the regular companies.
 Major independent carriers met here to form a new defense organi- zation, the Air Coach Transport Association, that will fight a new CAB regulation they claim would break up their passenger business
 At the same time they attacked the CAB for allegedly paying sub sidies "of more than S60,000,000' in addition to airmail fees to the regu- lar companies.
 Despite the fact that we inde- pendent carriers are only five years old, we have existed without ex- pecting or needing financial crutch from the government" the new associations executive commit tee said.
 Why should the public have to pay heavily for the operations Of the scheduled airlines, which are quite wealthy, and then have to pay so much for their fares?"
 The "non-sked's" flight rate have been about three cents mile, corn- pared to nearly five cents for regu- lar flights, and about four cents for the recently established coach flights of the regular lines.
