Ross, told newsmen today that Landis, who is 48, "is not to be reappointedj' but gave no explanation and did not say whether the president has picked a successor. Clashed With Airline Heads.

The pilots' association had called for reappointment of Landis "in the interest of improving the safety of the traveling public." Landis resigned as dean of the Harvard law school to become CAB chairman. He clashed frequently with airline heads on questions of management, need for financial reorganization and proposals for revising the nation's airways map. Landis unhesitatingly criticized a sister agency, the civil aeronautics administration, for alleged laxity in enforcement of air regulations and operations of such matters as airways traffic control. He took issue frequently with other CAB members and was accused of failing to co-operate in preparing board statements. An associate described Landis as "very hurt and very angry" over what he regarded as a curt dismissal.

The CAB chairman himself declined comment for the moment, but indicated he might have something to say tomorrow. One report in aviation circles said Stanton Griffis, socially prominent Hollywood and New York business executive who currently is U. S. ambassador to Poland, might succeed Landis.
