have to make sure that in an ex-
banding population they find
more persons to ride planes.
Where? Everyone knows that
we will have to continue a high
er rate of growth" said Upton.
Autos Are Target
"And we'll have to seek it
somewhere in the $50 million
miles of private automobile,
intercity, travel. The figure he
cited was an estimate for 1860,
based on an Interstate Com
merce Commission annual re-
port which put the 1859 mileage
in this category at 659, 435, 900.
Even a 10 per cent share of
this-66 million intercity pass
enger miles-would double the
present airline passenger mile
age" Upton continued.
$50 auto traffic is the target.
1t has to be the basic field for
the expansion of our industry"
Family Selling Job
Upton has no illusions about
the problems of selling the pub
lie, or a share of it, on the con-
cept of family travel by air
rather than by automobile.
But people like a comfortable
trip" he went on. "At present,
comfort and speed are backIogs
of the airlines business.
We've had a relationship
with the car rental agencies for
many years, to take care of the
passenger coming to the airport
and leaving it.
part of the job is going to
be to convince families of the
range, time and comfort factors
of airline travel"

Letters to the Sentinel
| Was Shocked

1t was with real pleasure that
l read your front page article
concerning the Science-Industrv
Showcase which is to be held in
Silver Spring. This certainly
will be well worth trip for
young and old alike and should
give all residents new found
pride in our wonderful Mont.
gomery County.
However, was quite shocked
to read Montgomery long has
been recognized as a leader in
local government and public ed.
acGtion, ETC." 1t is the first kind
word towards our public school
system that l have seen on the
front page-or any other page
for that matter-of the Mont.
gomery County Sentinel for
quite some time. 1 also noted
that the President of the Board
of Trade, John r. Graft gave
credit to "Our Schools, our Ii.
braries, and our people-and we
are appropriately proud of what
our own residents and industries
are contributing to it" (speak.
ing of our graphic location and
what is being done to show in.
dustry and the Nation what we
are doing.
The many new residents com.
ing to this area will certainly
have a very poor opinion of our
school system (which has con-
sistently been one of the top in
the nation) if they depended on
your paper as their only source
of information.
Corrective criticism has al
ways been a good thing, and is
appreciated by educated, inter-
ested individuals who are earn
estly trying to do a good job.
Now don't you honestly think
you have been doing quite a bit
of baised reporting in the past
three or four months maybe
in the interest of boosting circu.
lation of your paper? Maybe a
little more time spent in re-
search would yield fairer, two.
sided picture of the situation,
which most residents are not
alarmed about. 1 have heard of
very, very few residents who
have removed their children
from our public school system
because it was inadequate.
I am not saying there are not
falacies or have not been errors
in judgment made at one time
or another-but have you as an
individual always scored 1000
in all things at all times. OF
course you have a mission to
perform and maybe a message
to deliver-only wish the facul-
ty members were as free as YOU
are to speak their mind no
matter how one sided it would
be! THINK! of the wonderful
opportunity you have to build
good community feeling, pride
in local, county, state and ma
tional government - goodness
knows our children must get
this from somewhere - when
they see evil exploited to the
fullest.
Again, I wish to compliment
you on your front page article.
| read it with pride and intend
to make a sincere effort to at
tend this showcase, as 1 hope
many other residents of our
community will do.
