New HussIe 7 axes
To the Air

This week may see the end OF
one Of the Federal Aviation
Agency's more unusual hassles,
Q place where hassles are rou-
tine rather than exceptional.
Involved is the fixed base OPP
orator concession at National
Airport, now held by Butler
Aviation, which has negotiated
its rights with the FAA and its
predecessor, the CAA.
In recent weeks, a new con-
tract has been awarded to Page
Aviation, which operates a SIM
liar service. fueling and service
ing transient aircraft, at Dull
les International.
Butler has protested the Page
award on grounds that 1t con-
travenes FAA policy on mo-
nopoly and the matter has gone
before not only the Government
Accounting Office, but the anti
trust division of the Justice
Department.
A part of FAA's report con-
tends that the agency has made
% most concerted effort" to
find space for a second fixed
base operator to follow anti
monopoly policy. This, a spokes-
man said, has gone so far as to
offer the military units now US
ing Hangar 10 at National
space at Dulles. The military
has agreed - but not until
March Of 1865. A clause in the
Page contract points out that
II 1t is "non-exclusive" when
and If space for q competitor
opens.
What the Page proposal did,
among other things, was to
offer the Government over
eight cents per gallon on all
aviation fuel sold to transient
aircraft. The Butler bid was a
half cent.

The FAA says the Butler OPP
Grafton crossed $2.26 million In
1852; of which the Government
received $98,8S5. Butler later
made a new offer Of $l85,000.
Under the new contract, Page
would pay. under similar oper-
ating conditions, $341 900.
One element in the bidding,
a Page spokesman said, was a
plan to begin actively selling
aircraft" in addition to the
services.
National is one Of the Ma
tons busiest business airports
If there are any doubters still
wondering why q feasible su-
.personic (three times the speed
Of sound transport poses such
q problem, they should have
heard Theodore p. Wright, Of
the Cornell Aeronautical Lab
OratOry in an address before
the Society of Experimental
Test Pilots here recently.
At three times the speed Of
sound, the skin temperature Of
the airplane will be in the or
der of $50 degrees Fahrenheit, "
Mr.. Wright said.
Research In this phase has
been encouraging"
But he made other problems
ominous. For instance, the "air
conditioning must be COM
pletely reliable, as failure would
result in catastrophe condi-
tons for all.
Structural integrity Of the
fuselage is a must, since If ex-
plosive decomposition should
occur at cruising altitude, the
occupants blood would boil at
$4,000 feet and death would
ensue before the aircraft could
get to attitudes at which life
could be sustained with oxygen
alone"
In his conclusion, Mr.. Wright
said he is confident an SST
will be constructed. The pro-
gram has gone too slowly. We
will, unfortunately, be two to
four years behind the French
British COncOrde.
Airline interest is now
mounting, as indicated by pur-
chase orders placed for Con-
cordes by Pan American and
Continental"

Loos Premier Fears
New Heavy Fighting

VIENTIANE, Laos, April %
(AP).-With heavier fighting
threatened in Laos, neutralist
Premier Prince Souvanna Phou-
ma asked the international
Control Commission today to
send a truce team to try to
keep peace on the Plaine des
Jarres.
He told newsmen he expects
the team of Indian, Canadian
and Polish members to reach
the trouble spot tomorrow or
Thursday.
The Plaine was reported free
OF fighting for the second day.
The observers will be re-
stricted to the neutralist side
since the chief Of the pro-
Communist Pathet Lao, Prince
Souphanouvong, spurned pleas
to let a team operate In ter
ritory controlled by his army.
The Pathet Lao claimed the
neutralists started the fighting
and that's where observers we're
needed.
Can See Who Is Firing
Prince Souvanna said he did
not agree with this, but the
team at least will be able to
see who is firing the rifle
Shots"
Dispatch of the team was
announced after Rightist Gen.
Phoumi Nosavan threatened to
send his troops into action as
allies Of the neutralists If the
Pathet Lao completed its con-
quest Of the Plaine des Jarres.
Prince Souvanna said the
right-wing, leftist and neutral
ist factions agreed that the
team will be stationed near the
Plaine airstrip where, he said,
there are still neutralist troops.
Earlier reports said they had
been driven away by the Pathet
Lao.
Prince Souvanna claimed
that since Sunday not a single
rifle shot has been heard" He
said Prince Souphanouvong
agreed to a complete cessation
of fighting" and he told neu-
tralist Gen. Kong lie that
calm should be maintained. "
Gen. Kong lie was scheduled
to return to his headquarters
today.
May Press Drive
Observers said Prince Sou
vanna's big problem now is
how to get the Pathet Lao to
return territory it has seized
during the past three weeks Of
sporadic fighting.
Unless the presence Of the
foreign team exerts a restrain
ing influence. the Pathet Lao
is expected to press its drive
to force Kong lie neutralist
troops out of Northern Laos.
