Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff and Appellee, v. Oralia DELACERDA, Defendant and Appellant.
No. 72-3113.
United States Court of Appeals. Ninth Circuit.
Feb. 13, 1973.
Kenneth L. Collins, Deputy Federal Public Defender, Los Angeles, Cal., for defendant-appellant.
William D. Keller, U. S. Atty., Terry W. Bird, Eric A. Nobles, Asst. U. S. Atty., Los Angeles, Cal., for plaintiff-appellee.
Before CHAMBERS, KOELSCH and KILKENNY, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The judgment of conviction in this case for attempting to board an aircraft of Pacific Southwest Airlines with a concealed weapon is affirmed.
Defendant contends the Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) was not engaged in "air transportation." See 49 U.S.C. § 1301(10).
Inasmuch as PSA, although not certificated by the Civil Aeronautics Board, was properly engaged in the transportation of United States mails on some routes, we hold that 49 U.S.C. § 1472(1) was violated by Delacerda.
