speeioI Dispoteh to The ssor

OTTAWA, Dec. 15.-Canads
appealed to the United States
yesterday to do "lesS hair-split-
ting" in the regulation of Ca
madam passenger planes STOP
ping on American soil.<
John r. Baldwin, Canadian
Air Transport Board chairman,
carried the appeal into a Wash
ington conference with Oswald
Ryan, chairman of the United
States Civil. AeronauticS Board,
to smooth out an airlines dis
pute that threatens further diff
flculties in Canadian-American
relations.
Mr.. Baldwin was set to argue
that the Civil Aeronautics Board
was too legalistic in ruling last
month that Trans-Canada Air
lines could not fly its new route
from Canada to Mexico via
Tampa, Fla, with only one plane
daily. Canada has reciprocated
by making difficulties for United
States airlines flying into Can
ada.
Wanted Flight Extension.
Canada asked the United
States to allow Tea to fly to
Mexico via Tampa. AS TEA al
ready had the right to fly to
Tampa, Canada proposed hat
Tea simply extend this flight
on into Mexico City, without
however, picking up any passen-
gers at Tampa.
A 1949 Canada United States
air agreement spells out the
right of Tea to carry passengers
to and from Tampa, but does not
say anything about a flight call
ing at Tampa on its way to
Mexico. So CAB turned down
teas plans.
The Canadian government ad-
mitted the CAB was right ac-
cording to the strict letter of the
1949 air agreement, but felt the
CAB was splitting hairs to the
point of absurdity.
Two U. S. Lines Suffer.
The Canadian government be-
gan to split a few hairs over two
United States airlines operating
through and into Canada.
Both Pan American Airlines
and Colonial Airlines were or
dered by the Canadian Air Board
to "show cause" why certain of
their flights into Canada should
be continued.
Under the 1949 agreement, the
United States has the right to
fly two distinct flights into
Whitehorse, Canada. Pan Amer
ican flies this as a through serv-
ice from Seattle to Fairbanks
with full traffic rights at White
horse on the way.
Colonial Airlines has two
separate licenses-one to carry
passengers between Washington
and Montreal via Ottawa. the
other to carry passengers be-
tween New York and Ottawa via
Montreal.
Colonial serves both Ottawa
Evening star., 1953-12-15
u. S. Ban on AirIiner Stops
sHor-SpIittinql Canada Says

and Montreal on a flight from
Washington and on another
flight from New York. A strict
Interpretation by Canada of the
1949 air agreement could force
Colonial to fly the flight sepa-
rately with two planes.
If any agreement Is reached
in Washington, chances are that
Canada's air board will forget
about those two show cause
orders. If no agreement is
reached, however, the "show
cause" orders will probably be
pressed.
