Air transportation experts,
seeking a better adjective than
boom" for the phenomenal
growth Of the local service, or
short haul airlines, have settled
on explosive"
The word tells the story well.
The short-haul air transport
system, which Piedmont and
Allegheny AirlineS bring to
Washington, has never permit
ted its own record to stand for
more than one year and is
turning 1859 into the best of
them all.
Maryland has eight cities and
Virginia IA now receiving reg
ular air service, including such
popular spots as Ocean City
and Williamsburg.
Stuart G. Upton, president of
Air Transport Association, puts
it this way: Small town Amer
lea has become airminded and
has thereby exposed itself to a
new era of growth and pros
perity.
THE isolated areas Of yes
terday are today within hours
of any point in America
their inhabitants but a single
airline ticket removed from
Paris, London, Cairo, Tokyo,
Manila, BuenoS Aires and other
major cities of the world"
The local service lines regis
tered tremendous gains in pas
sengers (more than a million
above 1885 AZ million) and
revenue Cup to an estimated
$1l9.9 million). They did it
with 302 aircraft, 228 of which
are still DC-3s.
Yet in all this boom, the
short haul industry showed a
net loss of SIG million for the
first six months.
Both Mr.. Upton and Joseph
p. Adams, executive director of
the Association of Local Trans
port Airlines, are optimistic on
a better financial picture. Rea-
Sonable earnings are a definite
possibility in several lengthy
proceedings now pending be-
fore the Civil Aeronautics
Board.

As Oxford Loses
In Rugby Match

LONDON, Nov. 81 (AP).-
oxford University, with Pete
Dawkins, the All-America foot
baller in its lineup, lost to the
Harlequins, 6-3, in an English
Rugby Union match today. 1t
was Oxford's last match before
the team is picked to play Cam
bridge December 8.
Dawkins, former Army star
expected to become the first
American to play in the Oxford
Cambridge match since 1881,
once raced over the line for
what looked like a touchdown.
But the points were disallowed
because Of a forward pass. In
Rugby Union. players can pass
the ball only backwards or
laterally.
DawkinS later caught the
ball, and raced 80 yards, beat
ing of three tacklers in the
process. The run ended when
two men brought him to the
ground.
Dawkins showed up well in
defense in the match played
at Twickenham stadium, hal
lowed home of the Rugby
Union game. He appears almost
certain to win a "Blue"-by
playing for oxford against
Cambridge.
