Flying Rules
May Be Eased
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 20 -(P)
A Portland newspaper quoted a
civil aeronautics administration
(CAA) official today as predicting
that restrictions on private flying
along the Pacific coast would be
relaxed. t ' : :.
The newspaper said it was told
by Paul Morris, regional CAA
manager, that both the CAA and
the interdepartmental air traffic
control board favor easing the ban
which now bars private planes
from a ISO-mile strip down the
coastline.
Morris said the CAA expects re
strictions to be lifted enough to
permit student flying and certain
essential private flying, in the
barred area, the newspaper said.
