Tor the public ever had" he as
serted.
MI. Upton said there can be
no quarrel with today's level OF
flares as compared with the cost
of other services or products.
Air travel. he added. is one of
the country's best buys today.
The board did not say airplane
rates are too high, he added.
What it said. in effect, was that
regardless of the level of fares,
lairplane profits were high. To
arrive at such a conclusion the
board employed a formula known
as rate of return on investment.
1.-The board must recognize
that rate of return on investment
is not a useful way to determine
whether airline profits are too
high, too low or exactly right.
Mr.. Upton said that "if the
board were to bind the airlines
to this arbitrary. irrelevant
formula with all the theoretical
monkey business that goes with
it, the airlines' financial pros
poets would be dim indeed.
So Billion for Equipment
Instead, the board must face
up to the real question-hoW
much money do the airlines need
to do their job? The board must
answer that and then be pre-
pared to support and defend the
industry in getting that much
, money"
Mr.. Upton said that over the

few years. Mr.. Mcdonald said
also that the talks with the big

The big three" employ about
$4,000 of the $4,000 USW

In negotiations which opened
here this week. the USW placed

include requests for /" a SUBJ

Both Mr.. Mcdonald and steel

pressed hope an agreement can

U. S. Steel Sets Pattern
In past years. the industry
usually has followed the pattern

worlds largest steel producer.

He said it is important to note
that the airlines did not oppose
the idea of the general pas

of course. did the industry in
dorse it." But he took sharp
exception to the CABS reason
for the investigation.

Some $50 Democratic women
yesterday received a plea for and
q promise of harmony. unity
and victory" in Maryland to put
the State back in the Democratic
column in November.
1t was the annual spring
luncheon of the United Demo-
cratic Women's Clubs of Mary
land at the Manor Country Club
In Montgomery County.
On hand to seek the women's
support were a group of candi-
dates, including John R. Foley,
9th district nominee for the
House of Representatives; Rep
resentative Richard E. Landlord,
5th district nominee, and Hamil-
ton Fox, 1st district nominee.
Leaders of the women'S organi-

provements.
David Krupsaw said he would
favor adding funds for storm
sewer projects if they would not
jeopardize the two issues pro-
posed. In response to a question
from Mr.. Krupsaw, c. Wynne
Tolbert, president of the County
Bar Association, said he felt any
additional bond issues would
jeopardize those proposed.
Mr.. Tolbert and William Has
san, among other speakers,
stressed the critical need" for
providing more courthouse space.
Mr. Hassan who is the COM
monwealth attorney, estimated
the courthouse has only one
third the amount of space needed
for governmental functions.
The $2.2 million for courthouse
improvements would provide ap-
Iproximately $4,000 square feet of
floor space, plus additional park
ing facilities.

The proposed Airing t o n
County bond referendum on
June was limited last night to
SGT million but county board
members indicated other issues
would be submitted to the voters
in the near future.
BY unanimous vote, the county
board voted to seek $2.2 million
for Court House improvements.
The Circuit Court already has
ordered a referendum for June 5
on a $4.5 million school bond
issue.
Pleas for adding storm sewer
projects to the bond issue were
turned down because board
members feared a larger issue
might jeopardize passage of the
SGT million proposal.
Board Chairman Wesley W.
Cooper said the county needs
about SAB million worth of pub
lie improvements. This will
not be the last bond proposal, y

Dental section of Northeast
Baltimore.
The pilot of the plane. Clyde
B Holmes, 81. of Baltimore, was

plunged nose first into the grassy
plot separating the lanes Of
traffic.
Several witnesses said the
plane was flying low over the
area shortly before the crash. A
filling station employe, Joseph
Weigand, said he was watching
the plane trying to see the
number to call the police
and report" it.
Another witness said the plane
appeared to be in trouble just be-
fore the crash.

On Distributing


Prince Georges County's Mu-
nicipal League was asked for a
final word last night on its
choice of formulas for distribu-
ton of State horse racing
revenues.
Jesse S. Baggett. chairman of
the county commissioners, said
county officials are anxious to
know how all of the towns feel
about the matter.
Last year the league asked
that the revenues which the
county receives from the State
should be distributed to the
towns on the basis of the most
recent population figures. 1t sug-
Igested use Of census tracts pre-
pared by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The commissioners, however,
distribute funds to the town on
the basis of the 1850 Federal
census, which is used by the
State to allot the revenues to
the counties.
Mr.. Baggett told the league
the towns receive about $4,000
more if the 1850 census figures
ARE used. The county government
receives a lesser amount than it
would under a formula using the
planning commission population
figures.
Only four towns would benefit
from the 1855 estimates: Berwin
Heights. District Heights, Forest
Heights and Seat Pleasant.
Greenbelt, HyattSville and
Mount Rainier would lose from
So, 900 to $4,000 each by switch
from the 1850 census figures.
