By Ainsworth In
August Runoff
AUSTIN, Aug. 3 fUP» — Ben
Ramsey of San Augustine had an
endorsement for lieutenant gover-
nor today from Maj. Gen. H. Mil-

36th Texas National Guard divi-
sion.
Ramsey will be opposed by
Pierce Brooks, a Dallas insurance
executive, in the Aug. 26 runoff.
Ramsey moved to Dallas today, as
his itinerary called for a swing

Ainsworth termed Ramsey a
“tried and true, honest, able and
industrious" person. He said he
had found the candidate “to be a
friend of the veteran, of the Texas
National Guard and of the secur-
ity program of our state and na-
tion.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Aug. 3 —
Mid-Continent Airlines has set
October 1, 1950, as the date it will
start service over the Sioux City-
Chicago and the Rockford-Mil-
waukee portions of the North Cen-
tral Routes, J. W. Miller, the com-
pany’s president, said here today.
While the Civil Aeronautics Board
in its decision rendered today
awarded Mid-Continent all of the
North Central routes, it was stipu-
lated that a proceeding be insti-
tuted to determine whether public
convenience and necessity would
require suspension of the tempor-
ary certificate of public conven-
ience and necessity issued to Mid-
Continent insofar as segments
other than those mentioned above
are concerned.
The effective date of the certi-
ficate is September 26, 1950.
Mid-Continent has sufficient 21-
passenger Douglas DC-3 aircraft
available now to begin initial op-
erations, the airline executive
said. He pointed out that the re-
cent purchase of 40-passenger
Convair-300 liners had enabled
the company to release five twin-
engine DC-3s for service on the
new route.
“However, the availability of
aircraft is just the first step,” he
added. “We also must procure and
instull radio and ground equip-
ment, assign both ground and
flight personnel and conduct prov-
ing flights to qualify pilots, as re-
quired by the Civil Aeronautics
! Administration regulations.
“We fully realize that these
cities long have needed and de-
| served scheduled air transporta-
tion and we intend to provide it
just as soon as we can accomplish
the technical phases of such an
undertaking. When we do begin
service it will be an operation
fully in keeping with our high
standards of safety and depend-
ability.
“The Civil Aeronautics Board
decision brings to a successful
conclusion our company’s five-
year effort to serve this new area,
and our schedules will be coordin-
ated to afford the best possible
connections with other cities on
our present routes.”
Mid-Continent Airlines is a
north-south trunkline, operating a
fleet of 20 Douglas 21-passenger
DC-3s and four 40-passenger Con-
vair-300 liners. Its routes extend
from Minneapolis St. Paul and the
Dakotas on the north to the south-
ern termini of Houston and New
