V !! ii I I 1 i EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE TuMdr. Not.' 14, 1944 T Official Reported Fortifying Opposition To Powerful In'ernal Air Authority Chicago, Nov. 14 U.R America, in closed meetings with Britain and Canada held out firmly today against estab lishment of a world civil aero nautics board, and although the discussions apparently have pro duced no major compromises, American quarters reported "en couragement." - Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle, Jr., was reported fortifying his opposition to a powerful internal air authority with reminders that the senate will have to ratify any perman ent air navigation convention framed by the civil aviation conference. According to one version of the American discussions with Viscount Swinton, British civil aviation minister, and C. D. Howe, Canadian minister for re construction, it is being stressed, meanwhile, that interim ar rangements for commercial fly ing, by executive agreement, must conform with existing air legislation. Working Agreement Seen President Roosevelt, it was aid, can make a "first class working agreement with other nations," under the "broad" terms of the civil aeronautics act of 1938. But that law, It was added, would not permit delega tion of economic and political control powers to a world au thority. Under existing law, It was pointed out, America can permit the entry of foreign planes at commercial airports and experts said the right of transit through U. S. air space also could be established. . . . GW and Take . One American official here aid the conference "had reach ed the stage where you match your objectives against the other fellows." He left the impression there would be ample give and take on the major Issues of reg ulation of number of round trips between countries, fixing of fares, allocation of routes and control of subsidies. But to take these matters out of the realm of intergovernment al negotiations and to place them under control of a world author ity set up by treaty, it was argued, would risk defeat of the treaty by 33 senators.
