that Capital Airlines be al
lowed to discontinue service
west of Norfolk, Va, and that
Piedmont Airlines of winston
Salem. N. c.. be permitted to
take over the route proposed

south of Norfolk, to cities in

The examiner also recon-
mended against permitting AL

Mr.. Keith proposed that a

Eastern'S proposal involving
service between Philadelphia
and Baltimore and Norfolk, be
deferred. He said these pro-
posalS should be considered
concurrently with the applica-

Liberals Almost Shut Out
The navy charged the Reds
were trying to create tension
in the wake of the election,
but the incident failed to dim
the holiday atmosphere sur
rounding the Democratic
victory.
Still incomplete returns in
dicate the Democrats had cap
tured at least 146 seats in the
233-Seat lower house.
The Liberals who dominated
the old legislature by 80 votes
were almost completely turned
out OF the new assembly. BY
mid-afternoon only one, former
ASsemblyman Chun Hyung-San,
had won election under the
Liberal banner, defeating a
Democrat at Inje by a narrow
margin.
Several other former Lib
erals appeared likely. however,
to win seats as independents.
The Democrats closets rivals
were the Independents who
were on the way to victory in
so contests. Many of them,
however. are pro-Democratic
and will probably vote with
them.
Final results of the lower
house races are expected to-
morrow while the outcome of
voting for the newly-created.
less important 58-seat upper
house is not likely to be known
until early next week.
The Democratic sweep put
60-year-old Chang. a former
ambassador to Washington

Rhee for nearly four years,

ister's job. But there were
signs the party might split
wide open with 62-year-old
Yoon Bo-song, leader of the
more conservative old-line fac
ton seeking to wrest the pre-
miership from him.
In handling the Democrats
their first taste of power, the
South Koreans demonstrated
they still lean to political con-
Servatism and are unwilling to
intrust their future to the new
popular Socialists who have
promised a planned economy.
The electorate obviously re-
garded the Democrats AS logi-
cal successors to the Liberals
they had opposed almost up
to the eve of the April student
revolution. 1t overthrew Mr..

prices and imitation - has
caught up with Britain's tiny
farthing.

it's being withdrawn from cir
culation. After January /, 1861,
it will no longer be legal tender
In a written answer yeSter-
day to member of Parliament,
Anthony Barber, Economic
Secretary to the Treasury said:
1T seems clear that the
farthing has now outlived its
usefulness and that convent
ence of the general public can
best be served by withdrawing
it from the coinage"
Four farthingS make a Brit
ish penny. In American money,
