Justice Raps
CAB Ban on
Northeast Run

The Justice Department has
attacked the Civil Aeronautics
Board decision to strip North
east Airlines of its routes south
of New York, saying 1t is con-
trary to the boards "enunciat-
ed policies of more than 20
years."
The department, apparently
acting at the beheSt of Massa-
chuSetts Senators Kennedy
and Saltonstall, urged the board
to reconsider its decision and
meanwhile postpone the Octo-
Der IA deadline by which the
CAB has said Northeast must
quit its New York Florida route
and other routes south of New
York.
The Justice Department made
a vigorous attack on the CABS
basic finding.
1.-THE traffic statistics, the
decisions of the board, the clear
intent of Congress, the firm
policy of the Federal Aviation
Act all clearly demonstrate that
the East Coast Florida market,
one of the richest in terms of
profits and the largest in terms
Of passengers, must be serviced
by at least three carriers" it
asserted.
It said the board for more
than 20 years has followed a
policy of sanctioning competi-
ton among three and more air
lines on major routes, and this
policy has proven its worth"
The immediate monopolistic
value, If a third carrier is not
allowed to continue in the East
ost-Florida market, would
be worth 81 million to National
Airlines in operating profit by
Nationals estimate and So mil
lion to Eastern Airlines in oper-
ating profit by Eastern's esti-
mate, the department said.
The Justice Department also
asked permission to take part
in arguments on the question Of
reconsideration.
Senators Kennedy and Sal
tonStall and other members Of
Congress from New England,
where Northeast grew up and
still has its headquarters ask
ed the Justice Department last
month to investigate the anti
trust aspects, If any, Of the
CAB decision.
The New England congress-
ional delegations also have in
troduced a bill to overturn the
decision, although so far the
bill has not made much prog
ress on Capitol Hill.

Worked for PEPCO

Mr.. Schwarzmann's story is
not so much about the tool
rental business, however, as
how he came to be in it. There
are other tool rental companies,
many Of them renting heavy in
dustrial equipment, but few
with the variety.
A little more than four years
ago Mr.. Schwarzmann was an
office worker in the customer
service department Of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. He
had a do-it-yourself fondness
for tools, and had studied agri-
culture and animal husbandry
at Iowa State.
Mr.. Schwarzmann wanted to
try the business and in the
spring Of 1859 set about bor-
rowing money to start it. That
was a major problem because
bankers frowned on the idea.
He finally obtained $1,000,
quit his PEPCO job and set up
shop with two chain saws, two
garden tillers and afew cleo
trio hand tools on Broad street,
Falls Church. For four years
his wife worked as a telephone
operator from 6 until midnight
and helped him in the day.
time. They lived on her income.
Kept on Borrowing
Every time q demand arose
for a tool, Mr.. SchwarZmann
borrowed to buy it. He obtained
electric and gasoline pumps
and generators. more garden
tillers and lawn mowers. Before
the year was out he had q
farm tractor with q front load
err. The couple sold their home
and put the equity into the
business, which he calls the
A & R Tool Rental Co.
A tone time, the Schwarz-
MAINS were $4,000 in debt
without having taken a penny
out of the business. When the
business got big enough, they
moved to a new location, at SIS
South Washington street, Falls
Church, where they operate
what looks like a big junk
yard with an old house trailer
as an office.
There also is q small repair
shop because maintenance is
one of the major headaches.
The other day a man brought
back a carbide bit for q con-
crete grinder with two teeth
missing. Look at it." Mr..
Schwarzmann groaned. That's
$32 chewed up"
Mr.. Schwarzmann would like
a new building to house his
growing collection but for the
moment he is content. His tools
have a replacement value OF
more than 500, 900 and his wife
no longer has to work. He has
a radio-equipped station wagon
so that If q call comes In fol
a certain tool, service can be
speeded. He also has four full
time employees.

item, and all kinds Of 6o-it.

"Hyperbaric oxygenation" is
the latest advance in surgery,
and the subject Of a whole new
area Of investigation.
1t is surgery carried out un-
der high pressure-from two to
10 times that of the normal op-
Grating room atmosphere. Sur
geons have known for some
years that administration of
100 per cent pure oxygen under
high pressure to a patient with
intact circulation will result in
tensions in blood plasma and
tissues which can support life
independent of hemoglobin
circulation. Possible therapeu-
tic applications might apply
throughout the whole field of
surgery.
Studies with animals here
and abroad have furnished
valuable suggestions for hy-
perbaric oxygenation in several
situations. 1t was found, for
example, that in experimental
coronary occlusion in dogs it
greatly reduces the danger OF
venticular fertilization, and that
the treatment may be of value
especially in possible blood
clotting in the brain circulation.
