CAB Denies Alaska
Airlines Guaranty
For New Planes Loan

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Mag
nuson O-Wash) says the Civil
Aeronautics Board has denied the
application of Alaska AirlineS for
a loan guaranty on the purchase
of new equipment. The CAB de-
clined to comment.
A trade publication, Aviation
Daily, also said CAB chairman
James R. Furfee favored approx
al Of the loan, but a majority of
three members-Harfnar Denny,
Chan Quincy and Louis Hector
voted against it.
Alaska was the first airline to
apply for loan guarantee under
new legislation adopted by Con-
gress last year. The airlines asked
for approval of a three million
dollar loan for the purchase of
two four-engine Dogs planes.
During debate on the Senate
floor Wednesday over proposed
capital gains legislation Magnu-
son said the Alaskan airline had
been negotiating for 9 or 10
months in an attempt to get new
planes.
"a bank said it would lend so
per cent Of the money, but at a
pretty high interest rate" Mag
nuson said.
The CAB was asked to approve
the loan, but turned it down.
Apparently even the CAB was
not impressed with the financing
features of the guaranty"

Jobs For College
Graduates

Does a college graduate have
good choice of jobs? Dean George
M Worrilow, school OF agriculture
at the University of Delaware, says
agricultural graduates have plen-
ty of opportunities in the field of
agriculture.
Land grant colleges and univer-
stiles graduate about $500 young
men and women each year while
there are about $4,000 jobs open to
them.
Dean Worrilow said there are
about a quarter-million scientists
serving agriculture and more are
needed every day. The farm equip
ment industry alone needs 2.0e0
men annually and the farm build
ing industry needs another 1,500
college graduates per year.
The dairy manufacturing people
say they seed 1000 graduates in
dairy manufacturing each year
while the agricultural schools are
graduating only $50 students who
are majoring in this subject.
There are more than 500 distinct
occupations open in agriculture
and related industries and busi-
nesses, Dean Worrilow said.
College training in agriculture
pays off in dollars and cents, too.
The average college graduate can
expect to earn about 100000 more
in a lifetime than a high school
graduate. This is pretty good re-
turn for the money invested in e
college education.
