his business reaches the heights
OF "earnestnesS" which Mr.. Trippe
has promised TWA and all other
competitors on his pioneered in
ternational routes.
Pan American pioneered and
developed the Atlantic commercial
passenger service in 1889 and held
exclusive United States rights to
Europe. But under a shift in our
Government policy, PAA was Sub
jected to regulated competition
and the CAB in 1945 authorized
both AOA and TWA to fly to
Europe, too. AOA was originally
established by American Export
Lines, the noted steamship opera
tor to Mediterranean ports, and
was named American Export Air
Lines. While its future was being
debated in the late '3Os, World
War II began and the airline was
kept in operation by our Govern
ment to help the war effort In
Europe. Under Federal policy,
American Export Lines was re-
quired to surrender its controlling
interest and this was bought by
American Airlines, the largest do
mestic operator, which since the
fall OF 1945 has operated it as
American Overseas Airlines. In
December, 1948, American agreed
to sell it to Pan American SUBJ
ject to Government approval,
which was secured on July II last
when President Truman signed an
order approving the sale and di-
rected CAB to do likewise.
European Discussion
The competitive strife between
PAA and TWA is secondary to the
Europe VS.. America competition

United States operating two.

for them and pooled their resp,c-

Arrangements bordering on
such a cooperative ideal as the
Scandinavian countries embrace,
either as regards pooling airlines

Mr.. Spofford's war record Ger
tainly would appear to justify a
good measure of self-confidence
and self-respect.
He was indicted into the Army
and commissioned a lieutenant
colonel in October. 1912. The
North African landings were i'm
minent at the time, and the Army
desperately needed lawyers with
financial experience who could
speak French, to serve IN military
government and especially to deal
with supply problems. So urgent
was the demand for men like
Spoford that only 10 days elapsed
from the moment he was asked to
serve until he reported for duty
overseas.
He was first assigned to Allied
Force Headquarters at Algiers as
adviser on economic and supply
problems concerning French North
and West Africa. In this capacity
he helped organize the North Afri-
can Economic Board and the Joint
Economic Mission with the French
authorities.
In 1943 he became chief of staff
of Allied Military Government and
deputy chief civil affairs officer
for Sicily and Italy. In February,
1914. he was appointed assistant
chief of staff for military govern
ment for the whole Mediterranean
theater.
He was promoted to colonel in
September, 1943. and to brigadier
general a year later.

Men like Lovett and Hartman
already have the prestige. author

here and abroad. of the White

National Military Establishment,
the Economic Cooperation Ad-

and departments concerned in the
integration of the Atlantic COM

Mr.. Spofford shows no sign,
however, of being alarmed by this
prospect-or of being embarrassed
or annoyed by the repeated and
somewhat invidious sounding of

that two other more prominent
men were asked to take the post

Mr.. Spofford has the name of
being modest man. but he also
seems to be a man of adequate
self-conf1dence and, self-respect.

The new deputy is Student and

He studied voice at Yale and was

are beginning to excel him, he
reports, at least in tennis.
Mr.. Spoford was born in St.

Taught History
He entered Northwestern Uni

University Of Grenoble, in France,
the following year and then went
to Yale. from which he was gradu-
ated with a bachelor of arts de-
gree-and a Phi Beta Kappa key
in 1924. "It was an odd sort of
preparation for YALE" he says,
"but it didn't seem to do any par
ticular harm"
Mr.. Spoford taught European
history at Yale the first year fol-
lowing his graduation, and then
went to Harvard Law School. He
received his bachelor of laws de-
gree from Harvard in 1928.
He returned to the Middle West
and practiced law with the firm
of Isham, Lincoln & Beale for a
year and then moved to New York
and Joined Davis, Polk, Wardwell,
