Supports Pom Am
Application to CAA

In another move in its
concerted drive to have st.
Croix enter the Jet Age this
year, the iPaiewonsky adj
ministration this week
strongly supported the re-
quest Of Pan American
World Always before the
Civil Aeronautics Board in
Washington to offer flights
from the mainland to st.
Croix, which would turn
around in Antigua. AT the
present time, under its OPP
Grating certificate, Pan Ana
flights to st. Croix must
continue on to Trinidad.
In a brief filed before the
Civil Aeronautics Board in
Washington on Wednesday,
August 16 by Harold Lee
venthal, Washington Attor
ney for the Virgin Islands
Government, the admins
tration stated in part:
flourish is the principal
industry Of the Virgin Is
lands. Pan Americans APP
plication would provide
jet service between st.
Croix and the United States
mainland and would avoid
the current requirement of
service to Trinidad which
renders impracticable the
programming of economi-
al turn-around service.
The Governor Of the Virgin
Islands and the Commits
sioner of Commerce are of.
the opinion that the exemp-
ton, if granted, wo u | d.
greatly aid the vital tourist
industry Of the Virgin Is
lands. "A memorandum of
Governor Ralph NJ. Pale
wonsky, dated August 4,
1861, states: THE impor-
