ONE-CLASS AIR SERVICE?
If you're among the skyrocketing number of air travelers
who a few years back went first class but who now almost
automatically buy coach tickets, you are contributing to one
of the top problems of the airlines today: the rapid decline
in first class passenger traffic.
The slump started with the introduction of coach service
14 years ago. It has been accelerated by the jets, which have
slashed the duration of trips and coach "discomforts." As
"Aviation Week and Space Technology" recently pointed
out, the difference between a first class and economy ticket
for a New York-London round trip is $414 and. "What can
an airline offer the transatlantic traveler in two 6-7 hour
flights that is worth $414?"
There is no question but that those who take frequent
business trips have been relentlessly switching from first
class to coach and economy class. There is no question but
that there has been an ever-increasing crowding in coach
facilities while the most expensive sections are half empty
or worse.
To counter this trend, William A. Patterson, president of
United Air Lines, is now pushing a plan that would eliminate
all first class and coach fares and substitute a new, all one
class service, somewhat improved over today's coaches. Here,
from Patterson, is an explanation of his plan and its mean
ing to you.
Porter: How would an air traveler benefit from your pro
posed one-class air service?
Patterson: When we first ordered jets, we expected that
the 105 seats would be divided 40 per cent first class. 60
per cent coach. Instead, our jets run about 80 per cent coach,
20 per cent first class. We are crowding 120 or more pas
sengers into double rows of three seats in the coach section,
separated by a narrow aisle.
In the very near future, we will file application with
the Civil Aeronautics Board to try out single fares on one
of our routes (probably Chicago-SanFrancisco or Los Angeles)
at substantially less than first class prices and only slightly
higher than present coach fares. This plan would go into
effect in early spring.
In the new planes we will begin receiving in late 1963
the seating will be arranged for one-class service, two seats
on one side and three on the other side of a much wider aisle.
Seats will be larger than the present coach seats, although
not as roomy as those currently in first class. This will vastly
improve passenger comfort and safety. Those accustomed
to a good dinner and other amenities of first class travel will
lack nothing. You've always been able to get better dinners
at a fine restaurant than on airplanes.
Porter: What would be the industry-wide implications of
returning to an all one-class fare system?
Patterson: In United's case, this would reduce our annual
operating expense by $4.7 million. We would have about
$3.3 million a year on food costs and beverages alone. Other
airlines would be able to save on a similar scale:
Porter: What is basically wrong with the present system?
Patterson: Simply that trying to build air traffic by all
manner of pricing gimmicks hasn't worked. Our experience
shows that a SO per cent reduction in fares will increase
volume by only 3 per cent. We'd have to increase our volume
by 30 per cent or more to offset a 25 per cent reduction in
some coach fares. Just to keep up with the fishing expedi
tions of others, United now offers more than 20 types of
fares, and we're just one airline.
It's time for the airlines to stop befuddling the public
with multi-fares and multi-classes of service.
Porter: So you think two-class airline service is doomed?
Patterson: Coach service was originally introduced to
develop a new market. But, especially since the jets came in,
all that has happened has been a diversion from first class -a
diversion which has been extremely costly to airlines
everywhere. After many years of experimenting with disap
pointing remedies suggested by the transportation econo
mists, I think the airline industry ought to take another look
at its concept of two-class service.

type of reaction to the injec

now under investigation is
that the incidence of the dis
ease varies much in different
countries, and in different
parts of one country. No race
of men, or economic group, or
working group of men is im
mune. The disease attacks
usually men and women be
tween the ages of 20 and 40.
In many cases, especially
when the symptoms are mild
and transient, the correct di
agnosis is for years missed.

be weakness in the legs with
difficulty in walking; there

clumsy or useless. There may
be a tremor in the hand when
the person is picking up
something. There may be
trouble with the urinary blad

Fortunately, these symp

or for years they may even

Two characteristic features
of the disease are the scat

No two cases are alike in

Not 'Catching'
As yet the cause is un
known. No germ or virus has
been found. Seldom is there
any sign of a familial ten

"catching." It does not seem
to be influenced by diet.

and treatment of his disease.
Motion Sickness
Many people appear to
have inherited a tendency to
motion sickness. Some cannot
stand traveling in an automo
bile which is following a
curvy mountain road. Some
persons become very ill on
shipboard u n 1 e s s the sea
happens to be very smooth.
I remember one stormy De
cember coming back from
Europe on a ship. We went
through three gales, one after
the other, and as a result,
only some two dozen people
showed up for meals in the
huge dining-salon. 1 was for
tunate in not being bothered
at all by the moiion of the
boat. My impression is strong
that in some families motion
sickness is inherited.
The trouble appears to
rise in too great a stimula
tion of the three tiny semi
circular canals or spirit levels
which are to be found along
side of the hearing mecha
nism in the inner car. Fortu
nately in late years a num
ber of drugs have been found
which will reduce a person's
tendency to get motion sick
ness drugs such as Drama-
mine, Boninc, Marczzinc, and i
Tigan.

Poland Claimed
Creating Grave
Church Problems
Vatican City - IDPH - The
Vatican City newspaper Os
servatore Romano has charg
ed that the Communist gov
ernment of Poland has created
"even more grave conditions"
for the Catholic church.
It asserted that "no con
ciliation is possible between
Communism and religion."
The strongly worded Os
servatore editorial appeared
to eliminate any possibility of
a rapprochment between the
Vatican and the Warsaw gov
ernment as has been hinted
recently.
The editorial appeared to
deny statements made in
Rome by the vice president of
the Polish parliament, Zenon
Kliszko, who said that "rea
sonable principles of co-exist-cnec"
between the Catholic
church and the Polish govern
ment had been established in
the last 12 years.
Adaptation Difficult
Kliszko, a delegate to the
recent Italian Communist par
ty congress, gave his views in
a press conference. He said
that the Evangelical and
Orthodox churches had
"adapted" themselves to the
Communist regime, but the
anti-Communist character of
the Catholic church "renders
this adaptation difficult."
"The process of co-existence
develops slowly," he added.
He said there were 14,000
Catholic priests in Poland,
compared to only 10.000 be
fore the war, and that the
number of Catholic churches
and chapels has almost dou
bled in this period.
Kliszko said Poland could
become a model for the estab
lishment and development of
relations between the Catholic
church and the socialist coun
tries. He said;
"The possibility is not ex
eluded that in the future a
concordat will be reached be
tween the Catholic church
and the socialist countries."
Relations With Vatican
This statement was in line
with recent Polish moves ap
parently aimed at establishing
diplomatic relations with the
Vatican.
One such move was a pri
vate audience Nov. 20 be
tween Pope John XXIII and
Jerzy Zawieyski, a member of
the Polish council of slate.
The meeting went unpubli
cized for several days.
The editorial in Osscrva
tore Romano was the first in
dication from the Valican that
the condition of the church in
Poland might be wor.e.iing.
The newspaper charged
that Poland's Com m u n i s t
leaders recently renewed at
tempts they made in the im
mediate postwar years to tie
the church to the Marxist re
gime and detach it from loyal
ty to the Holy See.
Nothing New
The newspaper said that
trying
day and I still haven't for.
given her. Time may heal
the breach but right now it's
touch and go.
1 am aware, of course, that
I am flaunting tradition.
When a feud develops over
when a male child should be
sheared for the first time, it is
standing operating procedure
for the father to insist and the
mother to resist.
One familiar tableau has
the father spiriting his shaggy
heir out for a flattop while
the mother is looking the
other way.
In our house, how.v.r. it
didn't happen like that at
all. When my wift obierved
on. evening that th. tr.si.t
of little Ignatt wer. shroud
ing his clavicle. I balked at
h.r suggestion.
"There's no hurry about it,"
I said. "Wait a few years and
he will be able to go to the
barbershop himself."
"But people mistake him
for a girl," she protested.
"That's all right," I said.
"Just introduce him around as
Robert Frost."
But on the 13 1st time that
some stranger asked my wife
what "her" name was, some
thing just snapped. She
whisked him down to .he
shopping center and submit
ted him to Cecil, our neigh
borhood barber.
The odd thing was that
Cecil wasn't surprised. He
said it had been his observa
tion that most fathers around
my age switch sides in the
haircut controversy. "You'll
note," Cecil said, "that Baby
John still has long hair."
Whin my wife told m.
what Cecil said, It mad. me
feel som. better. Until then.
I had thought of myself at
being th. only father in th.
world who was anti-haircut.
From what Cecil said, I
gather that it is a common at
titude among vintage fathers.
But apparently you have to
get yourself elected President
before you can make your
views prevail.
I do not, of course, know
for certain that this is the
case with the Kennedys. I'm
just putting two and two to
gether. Nevertheless, as I gaze upon
my own son's nearly naked
noggin, I find it reassuring to
assume that we have a man in
the White House who is firm
about haircuts.
