Airline Industry Boo Constant Spending Keeps on Financial Bodern
By Hugh Humphrey

Commercial aviation Is big
business in Washington.
Every "a hours more than $500
passengers climb in and out of
airlinerS at National Airport,
the Nations third busiest COM
mercial aviation terminal.
While this perigrinating pop
ulation averages almost three
customers a minute, more than
go per cent really aren't going
anywhere-in terms of distance
usually associated with air
transportation.
Air 'commuter" service, the
fast. short-haul passenger oper-
alton that many embryo aviation
companies dreamed of 25 years
ago. is reaching some form Of
perfection here. Almost two
thirds of the Capitals air trav-
elers are flying less than 400
miles per trip.
Washington, because of its
nearneSs to other East Coast
metropolitan centers. is a lead
ing example of how this dream
of 1923 has. at times, turned
into a financial nightmare for
many airlineS and has threat
ened the actual existence of
some.
Airlines have become victims
of their own progress, experts
admit. Since the Wright broth

few industries, except electronics,

Aiken Says President
Could Ship Butter 10
Military and Abroad
BY the Assoeioisd Pres.

Senator Aiken. Republican. of
Vermont said today President
Eisenhower has ample authority
to unload the millions of pounds
Of surplus butter now in Govern
ment hands under the price sup
port program.
All the President needs to do,
said Senator Aiken, Chairman
of the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, is to direct the armed
services and foreign aid pro-
grams "to use a few million
pounds"
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son conferred last week with IS
representatives of the dairy in
dustry on what to do with the
120 million pounds Of butter, IA
million pounds Of cheese and
1876 million pounds of dried milk
the Government holds.
Diaries Urge Subsidies.
Some dairy leaders urged the
use of Government subsidies.
perhaps to sell the products
abroad at prices lower than those
prevailing in this country.
Senator Aiken. in an interview.
suggested that perhaps the but
ter makers should take a lesson
from Florida citrus growers and
not lean so heavily on Govern
ment supports"
When the Florida orange.
grapefruit and lemon growers
were denied price props, Senator
Aiken said they developed new
products. concentrates and other
outlets.
Citrus Income Rises.
GAS a result of a refusal OF
Government aid the citrus in
dustry now probably has a much
better income as a whole than
ii it had been given permanent
price supports" he said I'VE
may have to do the same thing
with our dairy products"
AS to getting rid of the mil
lions of pounds of butter now in
Government hands, Senator
Aiken said ample legislative
authority exists.
''We got rid Of $35 million
worth of surplus peanuts by
simply turning them over to the
Army to meet fat shortages in
Europe" he said. After all,
the taxpayer already has paid
for this butter, so there is no
reason to allow it to spoil if it
can be used in any Government
program"
