nonstop service and has ac-
cused the union Of impeding
progress BY its stand.
Rule Waived.
The union has argued that
such flights violate a 23-year-
old rule against scheduling pilots
for more than eight continuous
hours Of flight. Danger of pilot
fatigue is increased by such
scheduling, the union has said.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
has specifically waived the rule
in the case Of American Airlines'
westhound flights, which are
scheduled for eight hours and IS
minutes. The eastbound fights
are completed in less than eight
hours because Of favorable
winds.
Mr.. Smith disclosed the COM
pany submitted a proposal for
ending the dispute. but it was
rejected by the pilots during the
meetings with the, Mediation
Board.
"The pilots association has
advanced no basis on which the
pilots will be returned to service
other than its continuing de-
mand that the nonstop trans
continental service be aban-
doned." Mr.. Smith said.
Points in Agreement.
He said the company agreed
pilots must be returned to duty.

solution would involve Capital
Transit, Baltimore and Ohio and
East Washington Railroad giving
up the coal delivery service al
together. especially in the light
Of plans by Pennsylvania to
build a Kenilworth avenue over-
pass for its direct connection to
the Pepco plant.
It was understood that Pepco
itself does not determine which
rail lines carry its coal. This
decision, it was said, is left with
the coal shippers, who in the
past have been distributing ship
ments about evenly between the
Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania.

that Q mo recriminations clause
be provided In q back-to-work
agreement and that commitment
be signed by the company not
to schedule pilots in excess Of
eight hoursr on fights that have
intermediate stops.
The company proposal pro-
vides for arbitration of three
points: Whether the company
has the legal right to schedule
nonstop transcontinental serv-
ice. whether the union has vio-
lated the contract. and. if so,
what is its responsibility for
damages. Mr.. Smith said.
The company has filed a ST.

union in Federal court in New

Breakdown Of Talks
Brings Stalenlaie
In Pilots Strike

A virtual stalemate between
American Airlines and its strik-
ing pilots continued today, fol-
lowing a breakdown in bargain
ing talks, which a company
spokesman described as fruitless.
The National Mediation Board
had arranged talks between
spokesmen for the 1900 AFL
pilots and the company repre-
sentatives. But c. r. Smith,
company president. left Wash
ington for New York yesterday.
"The several meetings with
the Air Line Pilots Association
have been fruitless in producing
a solution to the problem" Mr..
Smith said. i
The pilots have refused to
work so long as the company
continues a policy of scheduling
flights nonstop from coast to
coast requiring flying time of
longer than eight hours.

The other source Is the Balti-

coal to the East Washington
Railroad yards near Deane and
Kenilworth avenues. These de-
liyeries then are relayed via Cap
ital Transit tracks along both
Deane and Kenilworth avenues

The city is bound by law not
to remove the Capital Transit

relocate them.
While refusing to disclose cost
figures, Gen. PrentisS revealed,
after the closed session, that
the District is willing to pay for

AS for the remainder of the
cost, he said he asked the four
