Poage Blasts CAB for Forcing II • men ,

Reporter-Newt Washington Bureau
Ripping into the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board for Its order forcing
Pioneer Airlines to junk its Mar-
tin Pacemaster planes, Rep. W.
R Poage of Waco made an hour-
long speech to the House of Re-
presentatives Thursday charging
the board is "penny-wise and
pound-foolish."
Poage’s speech was made to call
public national attention, not to
the Pioneer case, but to the deci-
sion of the franchise-giving agency
which "forever forces feeder lines
to use second-rate planes and give
second-rate service."
Pioneer Airlines was forced to
curtail its services and put its
36-passenger Martin Pacemasters
up for sale, switching back to 24-
passenger DCS’s because the CAB
ruled against increasing its mall
rate subsidy in a recent decision.
“It would have cost the govern-
ment more for a short time."
Poage told the House, “but it would
have soon enabled Pioneer to re-

Market Killed
I The result, Poage predicted, to
that the CAB’s action in the Pio-
neer case has killed off the market
for Pacemasters in this country.
“The CAB tells Pioneer it has to
sell its Pacemasters but no air-
line, looking at this decision, would
buy them. As a result, the only
market will be foreign countries.
And the American taxpayer will
end up picking up the check in
the end and furnishing foreigners
with better airline service than
they get themselves," he asserted.
Poage was sharply critical of
the CAB’s allegations that even
though Pioneer went out of bus-
iness. other feederlines would ser-
vice the town on Pioneer’s routes.
The other lines the CAB referred
to, Poage said, were Trans-Teas
and Central Airlines.
"Both companies are now re-
ceiving more subsidy per mile
than Pioneer," he said. "Pioneer
costs the government 29 cents a
mile; Trans-Texas costs 60 cents,
and Central Airlines cost *2 cents."
What the CAB proposes to to let
other operators benefit by “the
raiment of the crucified Pioneer
Airlines."
'Poage said in the case trunk-
line carriers, only three services
still receive government subsidies.
"But by forcing all feeder lines
to use the obsolete DCs, the Amer-
ican taxpayers will forever have
them as an Albatross around their
neck,” he said.

The measure contained no funds

POW Brings News of Texans

Three families in Texas today
blessed Cpl. Everett Ritenour,
Woodstock Va., who thoughtfully
jotted down names of 75 friends
he bad left to Red prison camp
No. 5 on the Yalu River before
departing for Freedom Village
and home in the first exchange of
sick and wounded POW’s.
The list contained the names of
three Texans: Cpl John A. Wells,

John B. Wells; Pvt Herman View,
footer son of Mr and Mrs. C. C.
Boling. McGregor, and Cpl. Rufus

Boling, father of 11 children and
busy earning the dally bread at
a feed and grain store, was mighty
proud today of the 23-year-old sol-
dier he had taken in “as a kid,
no questions asked," when hie son
Chandler showed up with young
View one day in 1947.
“He said he didn't have any
folks and we told him he did too
—if he needed a home here It
waa," Boling said View “was sort
of big sister and brother at home.
He helped mama wash dishes,
make beds, wash clothes—just
about anything she’d let him de.”
And he added View worked at the
seed store as well.
"He never told us where he
came from or why, and we didn't
ask.”
Boling aald View had promised
to return from the war “and he
will." The news today was the
first to many months: no letters
have arrived.
At San Antonio, Wells exclaim-
ed: “Thank God he is all right-

THE WEATHER
WASHINGTON, April 30 (AP)—President Eisenhower
dramatically junked today what he called the Truman “crazy
quilt” defense blueprint and announced in its stead a more
gradual military-foreign aid program pointing toward an
812 billion dollar slash in appropriations for the next fiscal
year.
President Truman had asked $72,900,000,000 in new ap-
propriations Under the Eisenhower plan this would be cut
to $64,400,000,000. . Eisenhower told a news conference he
doesn’t expect his new policy, which he described as a “radi-
cal" change, will make possible a completely balanced budget
for the year beginning July 1. But he declared his administra-
tion is making progress in that direction—and thus toward
cutting taxes—every day.
J The President made Me an-
nouncement, billed in advance as
a momentous one, on Me 101st day
in office, a day on which he also
sent Congress a plan for reshuffling
the Defense Department in the
twin interest of economy and of
strengthening civilian control.
Blasts Truman Plan
Reading from a prepared state-
ment. Eisenhower blasted in em-
phatic terms the Truman adminis-
tration's striving for maximum
Western defense strength in 1*54 or
1*55 on the theory that the Rus-
sians would have the air strength
by that time to launch an attack.
This, the President said sharply.
Is "artificial arithmetic"—part of
a "cracy quilt of promises, com-
mitments and contracts" which has
put Ms administration in a strait-
Jacket woven from U billion dol-
lars appropriated for military pur-
poses to the past and still unspent.
“It’s just as if the late admins,
tration had gone to Use store and
ordered 11 billion of goods, which
we’ve got to pay for as they’re
delivered, in addition to paying the
regular household running ex-
penses.”

PANMUNJOM, Friday. May 1
HThe senior Allied truce nego-
tiator today said the Reds again
had failed to nominate a neutral
state to take custody of prisoners
of war who refuse to go home.
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison
Jr. said after a 35 minute meeting
of truce negotiations here today:
“We called on the Communists
to nominate their candidate for a
neutral state. They again failed to
do so and apparently are trying
to refrain from that until they get
us to accept the principle that
an of the POWs who win not be
repatriated directly shall be phy-
sically transported to the neutral
state."
Harrison told the Reds that
Sweden might be considered as an
acceptable neutral but Red Gen.
Nam II said "only an Asian nation
is reasonable and practical for tMa
task.”
The President went on to say:
“This morning I told the legisla-
tiro leaders that already we can
see our way clear to ask the Con-
gress to appropriate at least 8%
billion dollars less new money for
floral 1(54 than had been asked for
by the previous administration.
Most of it Security
“This is a preliminary figure
based on three months' hard work
The great bulk of it of course,
relates to security programs. More
definite figures will become avail-
able as appropriation requests are
presented to the Congress during
the next few weeks.”
Eisenhower noted that he was
talking only about new appropria-
tions for fiscal 1954. "Actual cash
savings for 1954,” be added, “will
be determined only as Congress
acts on the appropriation re-
quests"
Appropriations made for any fis-
cal year and actual spending to
that year never jibe exactly and
sometimes there is a big differ-
ence For example, Congress may
appropriate money for a warship
one year but the money may not
actually be spent for several years
because of the length of time It
takes to plan and build a ship
Truman had estimated that spend-
ing in the coming fiscal year would
be $78,600,000,000.
