New Plan Pushed

To counter this trend, Will
liam A. Patterson, president of
United Air Lines, is now push
ing a plan that would elm
mate all first-claSs and coach
fares and substitute a new,
all one-class service. somewhat
improved over today's coaches.
Here, from Mr.. Patterson, is
an explanation Of his plan:
Porter: How would an air
traveller benefit from your pro-
posed one-class air service?
Patterson: When we first or
dered jets, we expected that
the los seats would be divided
40 per cent first class, so per
cent coach. Instead, our jets
run about 80 per cent coach,
20 per cent first class. We
are crowding 100 or more pas
sengers into double rows of
three seats in the coach section,
separated by a narrow aisle.
In the very near future, we
will file application with the
Civil Aeronautics Board to try
out single fares on one Of cur
routes probably Chicago-San
Francisco or Los Angeles) at
substantially less than first
class prices and only slightly
higher than present coach
fares. This plan would go into
effect in early spring.
In the new planes we will
begin receiving in late 1868

Stocks Trend
Is Muddied by
Year-End Deals
BY ED MORSE
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The
stock market this week went
through a typical late Deem
Der process with year-end tax
transactions muddying the
trend and croSscurrents pre-
vailing.
The Associated Press average
of so stocks showed a small
advance of 0.6 at 241.2. The
Dow Jones industrial average
took a minor loss of 1853 at
646.4l.
Strong leadership by General
Motors and Standard Oil New
Jersey reflected high quality
investment demand which was
based on some solid business
realities.
Beneath this impressive lead
ership, however, the market
was a hotbed of tax-loss selling
and switching. Many big blocks
we're traded as major shifts
were made in investment port
folios. Based on the ATS issues
traded, 1t would seem like a
losing week, for 772 declined
and SAC advanced.
Standard & Poor's 500-stock
index, however, is weighted by
the number of shares of stock
outstanding in its component
issues and this index showed a
gain of 0.07 at 62.64-a very
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-23

slight advance, but 1t was there,
nevertheless.
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were General
Motors, up IL at $3.50 on 3d.
800 shares; Chrysler, up l at
1914; Brunswick, up 70 at 1724
Sperry Rand, up % at 1924
and Standard Oil New Jersey
up 13s at 591s.

implications PrObed


Porter: What would be the
industry-wide implications Of
returning to an all one-class
fare system?
Patterson: In United's case,
this would reduce our annual
operating expense by SAT mil
lion. We would save about $3.3
million a year on food costs
and beverages alone. Other air.
lines would be able to save on
a similar scale.
Porter: What is basically
wrong with the present system?
Patterson: Simply that try
ing to build air traffic by all
manner of pricing gimmicks
hasn't worked. Our experience
shows that a so per cent reduc-
ton in fares will increase traf-
fic volume by only 3 per cent.
We'd have to increase our VOL
ume by 80 per cent or more to
offset a rs per cent reduction
in some coach fares. Just to
keep up with the fishing expe-
ditionS of others, United now
offers more than 20 types of
fares, and we're Just one air
line.
It's time for the airlines to
stop befuddling the public with
multi-fares and multi-classes
Of service.
Porter: So you think two
class airline service is doomed?
Patterson: Coach service was
originally introduced to develop
a new market. But, especially
since the jets came in, all that
has happened has been a diver
sion from first-class-a diver
sion which has been extremely
costly to airlines everywhere.
After many years of expert
with disappointing
remedies suggested by the
transportation economists, I
think the airline industry ought
TO take another look at its
concept Of two-class service.

The many air travellers who
formerly went first class but
now buy coach tickets are con-
tributing to one of the major
problems of the airlines today
the decline in first-class pas
senger traffic.
The decline started with the
introduction of coach service
IA years ago. 1t has been &C
tolerated by the jets. which
have reduced the duration of
trips and coach "diScomforts. "
AS Aviation Week and Space
Technology recently pointed
out, the difference between a
firSt-claSs and economy ticket
for a New York-London round
trip is $414 and, What can an
airline offer the transatlantic
traveller in two CT hour flights
that is worth $414?"
There is no question that
those who take frequent bust
ness trips have been switching
from first class to coach anc
economy class. There is M
question that there has beer
an ever increasing crowdins
in coach facilities while the
most expensive sections are
half empty or worse.

strong defensive positions on
their side.
What appears to be incal-
culable, however, is the factor
of strong Chinese communist
divisions north of the Yalu
River.
The United Nations Com
mand, which includes all Amer
lean and ROK units as well as
smaller units from other ma
tions like Turkey and Thailand,
not only believes that U. N.
forces are superior to the North
Korean forces, but that man
for-man the ROK forces them
selves are superior to tn cir
North Korean counterparts.
In this connection, I asked
1t. Gen. Hugh P. Harris, the
outgoing commanding general
of I Corps in Korea, how long
he though It it would be nee
essary for U mite d States SOL
diers to remain in Korea.
He replied with a question:
"How long did the R o m a n S

/ spoke to an United States
Army paratroop captain in the
area the day after the incident
He explained that there wa
"some dispute" between ROK
and United States forces as to
whether the victim was - or
was not - supposed to be
where he was at the time OF
the shooting. Anyway, it's hell
for a man to die over a mis-
take" he said.
The captain added a detail
He said that no less than 40
bullets had. entered the VIC

quieting signs of trouble re-
Gently along the nervous from
tier between North and South,
Only a few weeks before, ROK
units killed three North Kor-
can soldiers who apparently at
tempted subversion on the
United Nations Forces side OF
the zone. Two other comnlu-
mist soldiers were captured.
Moreover, American troops
have been reported somewhat
jumpy along the truce line and
are said to have fired numerous
times on South Koreans who
were collecting firewood in or
near the zone. Some reports
said that on some occasions
U. N. patrols fired at each
other by mistake.

But Americans did not rule

GI's death was the grisly work

To cope with these civilian
thieves, United States units are
making use of vicious German
shepherd dogs, also known as
war dogs" But so far there
has been no noticeable de-
crease in the number of thefts
or of "slicky boys" At the
same time, United States SOL
diers have been cautioned not
to take punishment into their
own hands if they find Kor-

American bases.
If the menace Of ''slicky boys"
