what otherwise might be very
serious and unfortunate cir
cumstances," warned H. Tenn
pleton Brown, attorney for
United Air Lines here today.
Speaking before the Civil
Aeronautics Board in the sus-
pended passenger fare case,
Mr.. Brown said the airline in
dustry could be 'irreparably
damaged" If the level of earn
ings continues to drop while
traffic continues to increase.
1.-The Importance of the de-
cision which the board has to
make is not to be measured
only by the number of dollars
which a fare increase would
add to airline revenues" he
said. Even more important
and primarily at stake is the
result of the entire airline in
dustry."

Auto Peak Ahead?
~ SYLVIA PORTER

In defiance of just about
every accepted seasonal pattern
of the past, we Americans well
may buy as many new cars in
the last three months of this
year as in any other 1857
quarter.
And in a couple Of months,
the automakers may be grin
ming cheerfully as they upscale
the production and sales esti-
mates for 1857 that they have
been recently downscaling.
If this is the way it shapes
up-and I won't be surprised if
it does-the performance won't
be any accident and I won't de-
serve any compliments for be-
ing a shrewd forecaster.
For the achievement will be
the result of deliberate moves
by the industry to push output
and sales in what traditionally
have been known as the slow
months.
