to Mr.. Smith.
The Government program
would cover development of
new and more powerful Jet
engines. This. Mr.. Smith de-
clared, could be left until
later and that the important
thing was TO settle on a def

type built. There should be
two prototypes in case one was
lost through accident, he sug-
gested. .
Mr.. Smith said American
Airmiines believes the United
States supersonic plane should
be faster than the Mach 90 or
/ ,450-mile4 hour Concorde
being built in Europe. The
Concorde, he emphasized, can't
be stretched" or made to fly
faster than this speed and said
it is ill-advised for an airline
to order a plane which can't
improve its initial perform
arlce.

June 30 was $4,775,000, or II
cents a share, compared with
a loss Of $756,000 in the similar
period q year ago.
The other airline, Trans

earlier In the day that its earn

or So cents a share, although
a poor first quarter held six

to a spectacular earnings per!

enough to wipe out losses in

Both carriers-the only two
United States flag lines flying
routes across the North At

cially In recent years. Compel

tured more than two-thirds OF
the passenger business between
this country and Europe.
Concerned over the apparent
worsening competitive position
of Pan Am and TWA, q Civil

$500 Million Plans Offered
On Supersonic AirIiner

NEW YORK CDJ).-A pro-
gram involving about $500 mil
lion initially instead OF the /
billion contemplated by the
Government for development
Of a supersonic airliner has
been suggested by American
Airlines, Inc.
c. r. Smith, Americans pres
ident, outlined the company's
ideas yesterday on the super
sonic craft. He commended, that
$500 million would be sufficient
to build q pair Of prototype
supersonic planes Of the. same
design, using notifications Of
existing engines.
He said he didn't think the
Government plan for putting
UP $3.50 million with the avia-
ton industry contributing $3.50
million toward full-scale super
sonic development would work
because the industry wouldn't
be willing to risk that much
money.
Mr.. Smith said plane builders
might nut In about $50 million
in the initial prototype program
and the airlines possibly about
SIS million.
Cites COncorde Procedure
The airlines' share Of the cost
of the prototypes, Mr.. Smith
suggested, might take the form
of payments for delivery posi-
tons for the supersonic craft.
This is a procedure similar 10
that adopted for the European
concorde, according to Mr..
Smith. &
He said the orders placed by
Pan American World Always
and Continental Airlines. for
the European craft are actu-
ally contracts for delivery po-
sitions and that q similar deal

CAB Blasts
'Pressures'
By AirIines
nr ths Associated Prem

The Civil Aeronautics Board
has charged the association
Of the Nations largest alrlines
with conducting an organized
campaign Ito obtain favorable
decisions from the board based
on pressures rather than the
merit Of the cases."
The CABS latest blast at the
Air Transport Association NJ
dicates the long-rocky rehs
tlonships between the two may
be nearing the stage Of rupture.
The board, which has the
power to destroy the associa-
ton by removing its exemption
from antitrust laws, has been
sparring with the association
since 1883 over rights Of IN
spection.

At issue since then are III
association documents. sought

The association tried to keep
the staff from them, claiming
many of the documents repre-

@. Upton, the CAB staff filed
the documents to support its
charge that the association has
been using the CLAIM of attor-
ney-client privilege to delay

At the same time, the CAB
staff lodged its allegation that
the association has tried from
its earliest years ito bring
pressure on the board to OBJ

the board based on presSures
rather than the merits Of the

Deal With Strategy
Most Of the letters and
memos dealt with the airlines'
strategy in dealing with the

the board staff said, that the

Included also were memos
concerning press campaigns to

supersonice plane was dis
cussed, Mr.. Smith didn't rule
out the possibility that Amer
lean Airlines might order the
Concorde but wouldn't COM
NIT himself in regard to the
possibility of such q purchase.
The United States supersonic
transport should be built Of
steel and titanium and prob
ably should have a wing Of
variable sweep, the American
Airlines official declared. He
noted, however, that not a
great deal is yet known about
supersonic transports and that
much will have to be learned
before the plane becomes a
reality.
Timetable Suggested
He suggested a timetable for
the United States supersonic
plane. The potential contrac-
tors should submit proposals by
January, 1864 in a design COM
petition. The Governme n I
should select a design by March
81, 1864 and the prototype
plane should make its maiden
flight by the end Of 1867. Sc
lection of a contractor should
come by June, 1867 and first
delivery Of the planes to air.
lines should start in 1871.
Mr.. Smith said he didn't be-
lieve other United States car
ries would disagree too much
with American Airlines' super
sonic ideas.
Another point Of difference
with the Government approach
to the problem, he said, is that
the aircraft industry should
determine the details and spe-
cific equipment Of the plane
following only general guide
lines set down by the Govern
ment.
This is in contrast to the
concept in some Government
quarters Of having the details
specified by the Federal Avia-
ton Agency or other Govern
Iment body, he said.

Review
To Be.Sought
By Northeast

Northeast Airlines has told
the Civil Aeronautics Board 1t
intends to seek reconsideration
and review and ultimate re-
versal" OF d formal board or
der stripping the line Of Its
New York; Florida route.
James w. Austin, Northeast
President, said yesterday the
company takes strong excep-
ton" to the CABS tentative
decision announced last week
to take away the route. Ncrth-
east cannot accept the con-
illusions stated in the an
nouncement in support Of the
decision" Mr.. Austin declared.
The boards 3-to-2 vote t.
take away the route was label
ed tentative and a formal de.
cision Is expected shortly
Northeast can ask the board
after the formal order is is
sued to reconsider its dec
sion.
May Appeal to Courts
Mr.. Austin's letter to the
CAB suggested that If the re.
consideration plea fails, North
east win appeal to the courts
His letter, however, did moi
disclose what Hughes Too
Cos plans are. Hughes Tool
controls Northeast and has
been supplying funds to the
hard-pressed airline.
Mr.. Austin stated Norheast's
intentions in Q letter request
ing that the board, after its
final decision comes cut, give
the line ct least two months
to actually terminate opera
tons south Of New York.
Wants to Continue
He also asked that, II a
timely petition for feconsidera.
ton is filed. the board allow
Northeast to continue flying
south of New York for so days
after a ruling on reconsidera-
ton. If a. timely petition for
judicial review of the CAB ac-
ton is filed, Mr.. Austin said
Northeast wants to continue
operating until the courts dis
pose Of the case.
Should Northeas.. and
Hughes Tool attempt to take
the case all the way to the

be settled for year or longer.
