Airlines
clash over
PSA plan
United Press International
DALLAS — A last minute
campaign has been launched to
persuade
persuade the Dallas and Fort
Worth city councils to withhold
approval of a proposed joint
venture between Pacific South
west Airlines and the defunct
Braniff International.
If successful, the effort Tues
day by American Airlines and
other firms could halt a plan
already approved by the Dallas-
Fort Worth Regional Airport
Board and U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge John Flowers.
“We are concerned that PSA
would be given preferential
treatment by the airport board,
which would violate our agree
ment with the board and would
shift to us a disproportionate
share of airport costs,” said
Gene Overbeck, senior vice
president of American Airlines.
Dallas Mayor Jack Evans said
creating a Dallas-based Texas
division of PSA would mean
more jobs in the north Texas
area.
Under terms of the joint ven
ture, the California-based air
line will lease 12 landing slots, 30
jets, and airport facilities once
used by Braniff.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Re
gional Airport Board, which has
approved the deal, will decide
who gets Braniffs office and
hotel facility, Braniff Place. Bra
niff retains the right to sublease
its jet simulator facility.

Joining the Bryan-College
Station Chamber of Commerce
is like making an investment in
the future of the community,
says Bob Kee, president of the
Chamber Blazers.
The Blazers are a group of 22
Bryan-College Station business
men who volunteer their time
for the induction and orienta
tion of new chamber members.
“We (the Blazers) have two
objectives in 1983,” Kee said.
“The first of these is to generate
a minimum of $22,000 in new
money for the chamber by re
cruiting new members, and
secondly, to act as ambassadors
to the community at grand
openings, social events and pub
lic speeches.
“We contact businesses in the
community that are not mem
bers of the chamber and ask
them to join the chamber and
support it with both time and
money.”
There are two ways to join the
chamber. One is by businesses
making a minimum contribu
tion of $ 125, he said. But larger,
established businesses usually
increase the size of their yearly
contribution according to their
volume of business.
The second is designed to
accomodate individuals, rather
than businesses. An individual
membership requires a $50
minimum contribution, and is
seldom increased from that
amount, Kee said.
Kee’s employer, Louis New
man, who owns Newman Print
ing Co. in Bryan, not only makes
a substantial yearly contribu
tion, but also is a member of the
chamber’s board of directors
and executive committee.
The Blazers have scheduled a
one-day spring membership
drive for sometime in April, Kee
said. On that day, they will can
vass the community asking all
non-member businesses to join
the chamber.

NRC orders tests
United Press International
DALLAS — The Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Tues
day ordered testing on possibly
faulty water pumps used in nuc
lear power plants, including the
Comanche Peak plant near Glen
Rose, which is about 50 miles
southwest of Dallas.
The announcement came
nearly a year after an NRC offi
cial in Arlington was transferred
after “softening” a critical report
on the pumps. The Arlington
office had national jurisdiction
to monitor the quality of that
equipment.
The N RC said the problems it
verified in quality control and
training procedures at Hayward
Tyler Pump Co. in Burlington,
Vt., posed questions about the
reliability of the equipment
manufactured there. The com
mission ordered that the pumps
and related equipment, sold to
22 nuclear power plants,!!
spected and tested. OnlypJ
manufactured between
and 1981 were affected.
Dick Ramsey, a s[
for Comanche Peak, whett
of the pumps have been
since 1981, said the NK
quest did not raise seriousi
questions there becaust
pumps were not being
the reactor’s safety
system.
Ramsey said the pumps
used to deliver cool waterit
plant’s auxiliary systems,
its air conditioning.
