9 (AP). Douglas Aircraft a giant of the industry, removed itself for the most part Monday from the supersonic transport development program. Douglas notified the Federal Aviation Agency it would be interested in the supersonic program on a joint venture basis, with other companies, or as a subcontractor, but "would not submit a proposal as a prime contractor."

"One or two of them have expressed a rather generous feeling that they- might put up 5 percent," Halaby said in a radio interview.

"But they have a problem $250 million out of a billion 25 percent is about the total assets of the principal competing firms. So they don't want to risk their whole company."
