Paris-il'I'li-Th Paris morning paper Paris-Jour today said
President de Gaulle has never been in such great personal
danger as he is today.
The comment came while armed guards continued a tight

Airlines Start
Penalty Policy
Washington - IIIPN - The na
tion's major airlines will in
stitute a policy Tuesday that
will penalize carelessness of
both the passenger and the
airline.
Effective May 1, an airline
passenger can expect to:
- Pay a penalty of $5 to
$40, depending on the price
of his ticket, if he makes a
reservation but fails to use
or cancel it.
- Collect a penalty of $5 to
$40 from an airline that has
confirmed his space and then
denies boarding because it
has oversold the flight.
May 1 is the day the 11
airlines start their program
to reduce the number of "no
show" passengers and also
the number of "oversales'1 by
the carriers themselves. The
plan will last for six months.
After this trial period, the
airlines will decide whether
it should be continued.
The airlines lcying the
double penalty, which applies
only to reservations for
flights within the continental
United Slates, include Ameri
can, Braniff, Continental,
Delta. Eastern, National,
Northeast, Northwest, Trans
World, United and Western.
Supreme Court
Two Killed, Three Hurt as Ships
Hit at Mouth of Chesapeake Bay
Washington - lUPIt The Su
preme Court ruled today that
the Federal Power commis
sion cannot approve a mer
ger of two piplines when the
government is challenging
the same merger in court un
der antitrust laws.
The 5-2 rulin set' aside the
merger of the El Paso Natural
Gas. Co. and Pacific North
west Pipeline Corp., which
took place with commission
approval Dec. 31, 1959.
ine majority opinion was
written by Justice William O.
Douglcs. Justice John M.
Harlan wrote a dissent in
which Ji i.ice Potter Stew
art jonicd. Justices Felix
Frankfurter and Byron R.
White took no part in the de
cision.
New Procedural Rule
Harlan protested that the
majority had evolved "a new
and surprising antitrust pro
cedural rule," which could
apply to all government agen
cies where antitrust laws are
applicable.
He said the decision creates
"a wholly artificial imbalance
between antitrust law enforce
ment and administrative reg
ulation . . ."
Douglas, however, said that
if an antitrust decision holds
illegal a transaction approve 1
earlier- by the FPC "an un
scrambling" would become
necessary involving "a need
less waste of time and mon
ey." "Also these unscrambling
processes often raise compli
cated and perplexing prob
lems on lax matters," he add
ed. Douglas also said FPC ap
proval "is bound to carry mo
mentum into the antitrust
trust suit."
'The very prospect of un
doing what was done raises a
powerful influence in the an
titrust litigation," the opin-j
ion asserted. "The orderly
procedure is for the commis
sion to await decision in the
antitrust suit before taking
action."
The commission approved
the acquisition of assets in
the El Paso case while a U.S.
District Court' in Salt Lake
City delayed trhl of a gov
ernment civil suit under the
Clayton Antitrust Law.
California brought the case
to the high court.
Sold in California
The great bulk of El Paso's
gas is sold for distribution in
California. Its system extends
from Texas and New Mexico
gas fields through Arizona
and New Mexico to the Cali
fornia border.
Before the merger Pacific
Northwest operated from the
Canadian border through
Washington. Oregon, Idaho,
Wyoming, Utah and lorado.

Stocks sold off more sharp

ly period of the year so far.
Also unsettling was the fact
that volume steadily picked
up on the decline, lopping 4
cades which carved a dividing
line across the city.
Ten units of the Moslem
"local force" - approximately
500 men - held positions for
the first time on the fringes of
the Moselm suburbs that
recently have been the scenes
of murderous OAS attacks.
The object of scaling off the
downtown area was to halt
the terrorism of OAS com
mandos operating from speed
ing cars and to discourage
demonstrations by Europeans
at key intersections.
The offensive, dubbed "Op
eration Katz," was believed to
be the start of the long-awaited
push to wipe out the Euro

The moves by Katz' men
helped reduce terrorism in
Oran, but elsewhere in Al

continued at its usual level.
Shootings and bombings kill

others, raising the known toll
since Jan. 1 to 4,039 dead and
8,353 injured.
Oran, a seaport in western
Algeria, is a center of OAS
activity aimed at keeping Al

extremists have been commit

would sabotage the French
Algerian cease fire.
