Board Confident Pioneer
Can Continue Operations
WASHINGTON, March 20—OP)—The Civil Aeronautics
Board (CAB) said last night it is confident Pioneer Airlines
can keep on operating in Texas and New Mexico.
The board promised “expeditious consideration” of any
definite plans Pioneer might present.
It said that in any event it intends to “take such appro
priate emergency action as will assure continuation of re
quired services” to the cities on Pioneer's system.
Pioneer notified the board Wednesday that if a ruling
of March 13, limiting Pioneer’s mail payments to $1,000,500
♦‘annually, is allowed to stand, the
line will have to cease operating.

The outstanding junior and

sisted of J. W. Barger, chairman,
G. L. Robertson, R. E. Leighton,
R. C. Potts, M. N. Abrams, F. R.
Brison and D. F. Martin.
The board issued an unusual
statement last night explaining and
defending its order, in answer to
a flood of letters and telegrams.
Designate Other Airline
Board Chairman Oswald Ryan
had said that if Pioneer suspends
operations, the board will designate
some other airline to provide the
same service.
In today’s statement the board
said it has not been advised of
Pioneer’s plans but “reaffirms its
intention to insure adequate air
service to the communities on the
Pioneer system.”
Possible to Continue
“The board believes that it is
possible for Pioneer to continue to
provide adequate service,” the
statement continued.
“The service performed by Pio
neer with DC-3 aircraft over many
years has constituted a high stand-
aixl and valuable service. . .”
The board said Pioneer gave it
no prior notice of the acquisition
of Martin 202 planes and the sale
of the DC-3s, that prompted Pio
neer’s insistance that it needed
larger mail payments.
CAB said that last May 7, four
weeks before the start of Martin
202 service, it wrote Pioneer’s pres
ident that it was deeply concerned
about the poteiitial impact of the
equipment changeover, and the
“possible lack of adaptability” of
such aircraft to local-service air
line use.
Warning By Letter
The letter, the board said, warn
ed that any cost increase “should
not be underwritten with mail pay,
but should be undertaken as a risk
of management.
“Despite the plain wording of
this letter, in June, 1952, Pioneer
placed the Martin 202 in opera
tion,” the board said. CAB added
that it had determined that oper
ation of DC 3s over Pioneer’s sys
tem would resuire $1,000,500 in
mail pay for 1953, against $2,222,-
455 claimed by Pioneer for Martin
202 operations this year.
Moore Absent
Coed Issue
Suit Ready
Attorney John M. Barron of
Bryan said he was ready to file
suit to mandamus the A&M Sys
tem Board of Directors to make
A&M coeducational.
He is the law partner of Sen
ator William T. Moore of Bryan,
who recently had his resolution to
make A&M coed tabled by the Sen
ate.
Bai'ron said action would prob
ably be held up until after the
current legislative session so
Moore could have ample time to
work with him on the case.
Moore, who last week introduced
a resolution asking the removal
of A&M System Chancellor Gibb
Gilchrist, has been absent from the
Senate floor for three days. His
office does not know where he can
be located.

Davis Approves Removal
Of Regiment, Wing Level
Regimental and wing staff levels in the corps of cadets
will be abolished next year as a means of streamlining the
organization, announced Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant.
Pie issued the order after consideration of a recommenda
tion by Corps Commander Weldon Kruger to eliminate the
extra staffs which were overlapping duties with other levels
and causing the chain of command to be too long from corps
staff to troop level.
Kruger asked that next year’s corps be organized into
three regiments such as the the divisions are now. They

Newman LIuh
Meeting Opens
Here Tonight
The South Texas Province
Newman Club will begin its
annual convention Friday at
8:30 p. m. with an informal
gathering in the MSC ball
room. STPNC is made up of 14 col
leges in the southern and eastern
part of Texas.
This is the third annual con
vention of the STPNC and the
second to be held at A&M. The
first convention was at the Uni
versity of Texas. Approximately
10 delegates from each school
will attend. Theme of this year’s
convention will be Catholic court-
.ship and marriage.
The Newman Club is a Catholic
organization to associate religion
with social activities.
Saturday’s morning meeting
will open with a general assembly
in the MSC. Jim Uptmore, presi
dent of the A&M Newman Club,
will give the opening address, and
a general business sessioh will
follow.
A series of panels are scheduled
Saturday afternoon, with differ
ent schools of the province in
charge. The panels will be “Prep
aration for Mai’riage,” San Anton
io Junior College; “Mixed Mar
riage,” Lamar Tech; “Primary
End of Marriage,” University of
Texas; “Secondary End of Mar
riage,” University of Texas and
“Marriage as a Secrament,” Tex
as A &I.
The Aggieland Orchestra will
furnish music for a formal dance
in the MSC Ballroom at 9 p. m.
Saturday.
New officers of the province
will be elected Sunday morning

ivei*sity of Houston, Lamar Tech,

iment.
Citing disadvantages of the pre
sent organization, Kruger listed
the following:
• Top heavy with staffs caus
ing too long a chain of command,
slowness and inefficiency in com
mands from corps staff level.
• Overlap in duties and re
sponsibilities between division and
regimental levels.
• An excess of cadet rank
which causes a lack of respect for
corps positions and an excess of
men who have positions but no
duties.
The corps commander said or
ganization for the cadet corps for
the year 1952-53 has proven very
effective in the top eschelons. He
claimed the three division com
manders could more easily co-or
dinate activities of the corps than
seven or eight regimental com
manders as was the organization
last year. The addition of division
level staffs was recommended at
this time last year.
Considered Issue
Col. Davis approved Kruger’s
recommendation after Col. Shelly
P. Myers, PAS&T, and Col. John
A. Way, PAS&T, met with him to
consider the issue.
“We realized at the beginning
of the year that we were top-
heavy with rank,” said Davis, “and
we think this reorganization will
give us more efficient operation,”
Kruger said he was glad to see
Col. Davis had approved his rec
ommendation. He believed it would
be the answer to many of our
corps’ organizational problems.
Greater Efficiency
“It will undoubtedly result in
greater efficiency in the cadet
corps,” said Fred Mitchell, corps
sergeant-major. He said he was
fully in favor of seeing the plan
in operation next year.
Kruger and Mitchell both said
they were considering other possi
ble changes to be recommended
for next year.
“CHRIST CENTERED Life” will
be the theme of the panel dis
cussion to be presented at the
Baptist Student Union vesper pi’o-
gram 7:30 Friday night, according
to Ross Jennings, devotional vice
president.
Members of the panel, and the
topic each one will speak on are
Frank Pollard, “Christian In The
Classroom;” Cecil Alexander,
“Christ In Our Bible Study;” and
Dwayne Petterson, “Christ In Our
