Thus Boeing would back In a strong competitive position if the SST program should be revived by a more receptive Congress somi time in the future. tion Department has awarded $12.1 million contract to Boeing to continue supersonic transport technology studies in flight control sys QUALITY At $25 million a copy, the airlines are slow to buy unless they seo the demand coming right at them. But Malcomb Stamper, Boeing's senior vice president for operations, predicts orders will begin to pick up next year for deliveries in 1974. He thinks the company can sell another 600 to 800 of the jumbo-jets by 1980.

Boeing is basing its new bullish projections on the assumption that it will continue to hold about 60 percent of the free world's jetliner market. Freighter Version Meanwhile, it has delivered to Lufthansa German Airlines the first of the new 747-Fs a freighter version of the jumbo passenger plane.

Wilson, Boeing president, saya the company could hire another 5000 workers by year's end. The bitter memory of those days cannot be forgotten quickly, of course, and some of the soup kitchens and food stations still are Krating. But Boeing is coming back not bouncing but moving steadily back into the mainstream of the aerospace industry, buttressed by at least two diversified projects. Perhaps the brightest spot on the Boeing horizon is its 727 trijet airliner and the advanced 727-200. The company has sold nearly 1000 of these and claims it is the fastest selling airliner in aviation history.

The other day Branii'f International ordered 10 of the advanced "superjet" versions at a cost of $80.7 million, including spare engines and parts. More 747 Sales Its popularity rivals that of the old Douglas workhorse of another era the DC-3. While sales of the 747 have been disappointing, Boeing officials believe the figure of 209 sales to date will double by 1980, as the airlines begin to demand more seats to keep pace with mounting air travel. By Frank Macomber SEATTLE r- (CNS) People here are begiimit to compare the Boeing Co. with the quarterback who was benched when he began to lose yardage.

Then he talked the coach into sending him back into the lineup and, sure enough, he began to gain ground again. Boeing was "benched" in March, 1971, when Congress refused to continue underwriting the company's greatest hope the supersonic transport. That cut the mg from under Boeing. Space contracts already were beginning to lag, too, and sales of the jumbo 747 jetliner were not moving as quickly as had been anticipated. So thousands more were laid off almost overnight at Boeing.

Since its sprawling plants in this area are the driving force of Seattle's economy, the layoffs had a domino effect. Soon Seattle was saddled with a 16 percent unemployment rate nearly three times the national jobless average. Sliding Down Seattle's horrendous jobless rate now has dropped to 12 percent and still is sliding downward. That's partly because Boeing's payroll has climbed back to 39,000 from BALLY of Switzerland Internationally Famous 277 Pairs Reduced 1 SHOCKER OF THE YEAR!
