CIVIL AVIATION
POST-WAR SERVICES
INTERNATIONAL ROUTES (Rec. 11 p.m.) WASHINGTON, June 14. The Civil Aeronautics Board announced that 20 international air routes have been tentatively selected as desirable for post-war operation by the United States. The chairman, Mr Welch Pogue, said that foreign Governments had not been consulted before the plan was prepared. He added that the acquisition of foreign landing rights was expected generally to be by means of intergovernmental negotiation. One route suggested was San Francisco-Los Angeles-Honolulu-Can-ton Island-Suva-Noumea, and then either Auckland or Sydney. Mr Pogue said that the new plan would make a total of 140,000 miles of airlines under American control. He stressed the point that the Aeronautics Board could not wait loffger for clarification of the national policy regarding post-war foreign operations, and was forced to proceed under the present law if it was to be ready with approved lines at the end of the war.
