Other routes between Atlanta
and Washington and Balti-
more would be via Myrtle
Beach, 5. c.. Wilmington,
Jacksonville. Kinston, Colds
boro, Rocky Mount, and Rich
mond, Va.
II is too early to determine
how frequent service would be
made available along these
routes in the event the CAB
approves them. However, they
would be established under the
examiners recommended O n S
on a use il or lose il" basis.
This means that those COM
muniticS which would get SER
vice must provide the routes
with enough business to justi-
fy their continuation.
For many years. many cities
and towns in Eastern North
Carolina have been without air
service for all practical pur-
poses. The argument has been
made that the absence of ade-
quatc air service has been a
drawback to industrial deve-
lopment and economic expan-
sion.
The proposals made by the
CAB examiner offer tremcnd-
Gus opportunities TO the af-
fectcd communities. If the pro-
posed routes are approved. il
will mean that these commun-
tiles will be connected with
major trunkline routes run
ming North and South, and al.
so to the Midwest and West
Coast.

The initial recommendations

The CAB has now set April

means that oral arguments be-
ore the CAB should follow
shortly afterwards.
The recommendations made
in the examiners report are
quite tar-reaChlng and if they
are approved by the CAB,
many cities and towns in East

congratulate Carolina Power &

Keep pace with our total econ

of established state and fed

Il interpret the company'S
action IN consulting with the
executive branch of our state
government as a manifestation
OF its desire to make its agri-
cultural development activities
conform to the overall, long
range objectiveS of our farm
leaders.
Electric service is one of
the many strong bridges be-
tween our agricultural and in
austria, societies"
Stewart observed that las

company adopted a policy
which generally embodied our
present aims; but we feel for

The new development pro-

an effort to keep the agricult-

electric service will play an in

Cut Soviet Ties,

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Sept. 16
(AP). - Representative Van

sever diplomatic relations with
the Soviet Union.
Mr.. Van zandt said Friday
that by taking this action the
United States would tell the
world that we have no conf
dence in Russia"
The congressman also told
the annual Constitutional Day
dinner of the Cambria County

never was in, favor of recog-
nizing Russia.
Appeasement will not beat

Press COverage Banned
The test shot yesterday was
the 104th nuclear explosion at
the Nevada proving grounds.
The 103d shot was set off near
ly three years ago.
There were no reporters
present at the blast. Earlier in
the day, the White House had
announced that no on-the-
scene coverage by news media
would be permitted at future
United States nuclear tests,
and that some of the shots may
not be announced at all. '-
Asked the reason for the
change in policy, White House
Pres Secretary Pierre Salinger
said, 1T has just been deter
mined it would not be in the
national interest to announce
in advance or to announce all
of them"
Word of the first test blast
was flashed to Washington over
an open telephone line from the
test site to DR.. Glenn T. Sea-
borg, chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission, who re-
layed it over a direct line to
the President at the White

30 Million Pound Thrust
The Truax rocket would
weigh 10000 tons and would
develop 80 million pounds of
thrust in its single-chamber
engine. 1t would be big, simple
and rugged, designed for re-
peated reuse.
The Navy's long experience
with metals in sea water
should have taught us how to
beat the problem of corrosion.
This problem scares many
rocketmen who would like to
fish big boosters out of the
ocean after launching, dry
them off and use them again,
use the proper materials
and you can," says Capt.
Truax.
Cost is the important thing
in space, in his view. If a
booster is used only once, a
100 per cent amortization
factor makes it prohibitively
expensive, Capt. Truax says
But use it often enough and
amortization need be no
greater an item than fuel, and
truly economical space travel
can be realized. he asserts.
"a coast to coast plane
ticket would cost about $35, ,00O
if the airlines expended an
airplane on every trip" he
