"Our country, today, is facing a period of broad economic readjustment. Our industry, at the same time, is facing the technological transition into a revolutionary new era of jet power.

"It is into the hands of these younger executives that our future must be entrusted. It is to them that we must look for ouri country's leadership in the rapidly approaching era of jet-powered transportation that lies only six to ten years ahead and for all that leadership means in terms of continued progress, a stronger national defense, and the general welfare of the American people." Eastern Air Lines, one of the four major, airlines in the country, has long been cited as the most successful airline the world. Since Captain Rickenbacker won the financial backing to purchase the airline "lor the boys and girls who helped build it" in a spirited race-with powerful financial interests in 1938, Eastern has never had an unprofitable year of operation. Actually, the first recorded net profit in the airline industry was achieved under Captain Rickenbacker's management of Eastern Air Lines in 1935 when he was assigned to that position when the little airline was still owned by North American Aviation and General Motors. Three years later Eastern became the first airline to drop government subsidy for the transportation of air mail and, in the succeeding years, boasts that it has "never taken one cent of Baby Contest Will Be Conducted With Philipsburg Show PHILIPSBURG A baby contest will be held in conjunction with the production of "On Stage America," which will be presented by the Philipsburg Drum and Bugle Corps as a lund-raising project in the Philipsburg Sixth Street School auditorium on September 1 and 2.

McCarthy, Washington Post Start Quarrel A I W-Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) has brought the issue of newspaper postage rates Into his quarrel with the Washington Post and the Post has retorted that the senator has not shown "he is qualified to become chief censor of what news may be sent in the mail." In letter to seven newspaper editors, McCarthy last night repeated a charge that J. Russell Wiggins, managing editor of the newspaper, was responsible for publishing deliberate falsehood about him. He referred to editorial in the Washington Post which said that James A. Wechsler, editor of the New York Post, when he was under questioning at a closed session of the Senate investigations "was subjected to intensive-inter- ogation about editorials in his newspaper i i a of Sen.

McCarthy." McCarthy has denied this and one of editors to whom he wrote, James S. Pope of the Louisville Courier and Times, said last night he could not find in the transcript of the Wechsler hearing any questions about editorials critical of the senator, though there were questions about Wechsler's attitude toward the heads of other congressional investigative groups. McCarthy said in his letter to the editors: "This subject becomes of more than academic interest when it is remembered that the Postal Department requested 240 million dollars for the current year to make up the difference between what was paid by newspapers, magazines, for postage and the actual cost of handling such publications by the Post Office. "I am sure you will agree that the congress and the taxpayers would be strongly opposed to having this money used to disseminate falsehoods. 1 3,313 Americans.

Tate, Local Author- Philip L. Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, said in a statement last night: "We do not agree with Sen. McCarthy that newspapers should be compliant to a senator's demands just because the Congress has voted mail rates that may provide a subsidy to newspapers.

After a fine ol $10 admitting the hit-and-run charge, she posted $300 cash bond and was released for her appearance before the Clearfield County Court.

French officials would not say whether the new Sultan would parade through the streets to the imperial palace after his special train gets in from Maifakech.

The Arab population remained quiet but glum, as if in mourning, although it was the period of the big religious feast Aid el KeUr aid ordinarily would have been a tuna of rejoicing.
