Airline Merger
Tentatively OK'd
BY the Associated Press

oy bA4C AooOClAbc0 EASoo
The Civil Aeronautics Board
has voted tentative approval
of the merger Of United and
Capital Airlines.
There were strings tied to
the favorable vote yesterday
and a strong hint of further
difficulties.
Two board members. G. Jo-
seph Minetti and John S. Brag-
don, proposed an investigation
as to whteher Capitals New
York ATLANTA -Miami-New Or
leans routes should be retained
by United, terminated or trans
ferred to another airline.
Competing trunk airlines
have protested that an unre-
stricted transfer of routes
would make United over
whelmingly strong in the
South.
But w. A. Patterson, United
president, has told the CAB he
is not interested in acquiring
Capital without the lucrative
North-South routes.
Mr.. Minetti and Mr.. Brag-
don said that. until the inves-
tigation of the North-South
routes is completed, United
should be required to limit its
service in these markets to the
level currently operated by
Capital.
The CAB so far has taken no
action on this proposal.
The merger would make
United the Nations largest air.

began last year following q
court action by Vickers-Arm-
strongs, Ltd. a British firm, to
collect some $34 million owed

Profit-Shoring Called
Aid to Sears Success

the Washington Advertising
Club at a Presidential Arms
luncheon.
The Sears profit sharing plan
for employees held assets total
ing 81, ,428,013,436 at the end of
1860, he reported. Since the
fund was started, employees
have deposited more than 1858
million and have withdrawn
more than $685. million, he
added.
Mr.. Kellstadt pointed out the
company is celebrating its 18th
anniversary. Referring to re-
cent honors arising from its
successful development of man
ufacturing and distributing ia
cilities in Latin American coun-
tries, Mr.. Kellstadt said much
of the success there has rested
on the fact that Sears has en-
deavored to manufacture just
as much as possible in each
country Of the goods it sells
there.
The company now produces
99.5 per cent Of the goods sold
in Brazil in domestic plants of
that country. 1t makes SO per
cent of the goods sold in Mex
leo in that country. The figure
for Venezuela is around 10 per
cent.
Profit-sharing has become a
means Of maintaining firm
employe loyalty and careful
work in Latin America as well
as in the United States and
Canada, he declared. The de-
scendants Of many of the peo-
pie who started with Dick Sears
back in the early days of the
company still work with Sears
and have gained great benefits
from this long connection with
the company. he said.

Opening lead: Six of spades.
When West opens the six of
spades, you can make sure of a
spade trick by playing low from
the dummy. East must play
the queen to shut out the jack,
and then dummy's king will
force out the ace. Your Jack
viii command the third round
of the suit.
The danger in playing dunn
my's king Of spades at the first
trick is that East may have the
ace. If so, he will capture the
king and will then lead through
south'S Jack. II West has the
queen, South win never win a

II the hand depends on max

obviously play low from dummy

the case in today's hand.

You need all the clubs To
make the contract. The best
chance for the club suit is to
finesse through East as often
as possible. Since two illnesses

put up dummy's king Of spades
at the first trick.
When this wins, you lead 9
club and finesse the queen. Re-
turn a low heart to dummy'I
queen and take another club
finesse. Now cash the ace oi
clubs, run the rest Of the clubs
and take the top hearts to make
sure Of nine tricks.

Iplay Of the spades. If you play
ldummy's low spade, East wins
with the queen and returns 9
spade to the ace. West leads Q

Spreading the Burden

The school-fare transit bill as
passed by the Senate meets the require
ments of fair play and common sense in
two respects.
First, it shifts at least part of the
burden of reduced fares for school
children from the shoulders of adult
transit riders to those of District tax
payers as whole. This is as it should
be. II subsidies for school fares are to
be granted at all (and it is difficult to
argue against them), the reason must
rest on community policy. It is
only fair, therefore, that the tab be
picked up by the public at large, rather
than by the dwindling number of bus
riders who already seem to be entrapped
IN spiral of increasing fares.
Under the second major provision
OF the bill, the annual subsidy from the
District government would be only the
amount needed to yield the D. C. Transit
Co. fair rate of return as determined
by the new Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission. Theoretically, this could
amount to as much as 10 cents per
child (the difference between the
present 10-cent school fare and the
20-cent adult token fare). Actually,
based on the 4.9 per cent rate of return

Relax and Enjoy 1t

Details of the deadlock between
House and Senate over proposals to hike
local taxes once again in the District
OF Columbia have been adequately re-
ported in our news columnS-to an ex-
tent, at least, that makes it unnecessary
here to repeat tireSome arguments pro
and con the manifestations of juvenile
delinquency in the Congress of the Unit
ed States which account for this de-
lightful impaSse.
Suffice it to say that unless Chair
man Mcmillan of the House District
Committee yields to Chairman Bible of
the Senate District Committee, or vice
versa, there will be no further tax in
creaseS for the people of Washington for
the time being.
AS If to gild this lily, Senator Morse
on Friday, speaking for himself and the
universe, assured the Senate: LET me
say ... have also made an investigation
to ascertain that we can go along with
out revenue bill well into March (of
1862 and the District of Columbia will
continue to function"
So, hail to the New Frontier-and it's
able frontierSmen, Senator Bible, Demo-
crat of Nevada, Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat of South Carolina; Senator
Morse, Democrat, of Oregon. Caught, as
we of Washington are, on the horns of
the dilemma created by their demonstra-
t1onS OF StateSmanlike failure to agree
on simple tax bill, let us enjoy the
ride-as long as it lasts.

most recently certified, the amount Of
subsidy would be far less.
o. Roy Chalk contends that D. C.
Transit is entitled to a 6.5 per cent
return, and that this figure should be
the basis for determining the subsidy
amount. Unless and until this con-
tention is upheld by the courts, however,
it is well that the Senate committee
has left the determination of an
equitable profit rate in the hands of
the regulatory commission. Indeed,
stripped of such power of determination,
the commission would become little
more than bookkeeping agency.
The House District Committee,
having held extensive hearings on
similar bill, is thoroughly familiar with
the school-fare arguments. We hope
that it now will take renewed interest
in the subject, so that final legislation
along the lines of the Senate bill may
be enacted before the end of this session.
