Commuter service I ^
resumes schedule [ aval
of smaller planes
United Press International
NAPLES, Fla. — Provincetown-
Boston Airline, a commuter service
grounded for two weeks because of
safety violations, resumed limited
operations Sunday on one of the
busiest air traffic days of the year.
The Federal Aviation Administra
tion grounded the commuter airline
Nov. 10 for safety violations, includ
ing improper pilot licensing proce
dures. The FAA gave PBA the go-
ahead late Saturday to resume a lim
ited flight schedule.
“We’re delighted to be back in the
air,” said Vice President Mike Fe-
nello, a former Eastern Airlines ex
ecutive and FAA administrator who
came out of retirement to help the
troubled airline.
“Everybody is having a great time
and passengers are showing up in
numbers that are very encouraging,”
Fenello said.
Flights resumed Sunday when a
nine-passenger Censsna 402 took off
from Naples for Tampa, Fla.
The FAA gave permission for op
eration of only the carrier’s Cessna
402s and 19-passenger EMB Bande-
riante planes. The Banderiantes will
begin service later this week. Appro
val of flights by larger planes was ex
pected later.
“The FAA has worked very dil
igently with the company for the
past two weeks to get them back in
the air as quickly as we could,” FAA
spokesman Roger Myers said Sun
day.
“We’re going to phase in
small aircraft first and monitorila
operation to see how things iii
going. Today they are operat!;|
with a certificate we issued forlijf;
aircraft.
Fenello said 180 flights w®
planned out of PBA’s southernrt
gional headquarters at Naples,Fk
and 116 more in the northern rt
gion at Hyannis, Mass.
“We’re serving 25 to 40 percemoi
our stations, but by next Sundj
we’ll be serving 100 percentasv
phase in out larger 19-passengerair
planes," he said.
“The Sunday after Thanksgmi;
is one of the biggest days of lit
year,” Fenello said. “We’ve run quit
a few full airplanes and we re star,
ing to put on extra planes. Whti
one airplane goes out full, wellrol
up another airplane and out it goes'
About 600 of the firm’s l,500[in
loughed employees were expeati
back on the job Sunday, and the res
will be called back as addition-
flights are restored, PBA Presite
Peter H. Van Arsdale said.
“About 1,500 employees rested;
lot easier last night after the FAArt
certified us,” Fenello said.
Flights planned Sunday induded:
Naples-Tampa, Naples-Miami, Her
West-Tampa, Key West-Miami,Foit
Myers-Tampa, Fort Myers-Miaitt
Punta Gorda-Tampa, Sarasota

Texas A&M University wildlife bi
ologists have embarked on a project
to document cross-breeding between
two different species of large mam
mals living in the wild.
The researchers are studying ge
netic differences between white
tailed and mule deer to look for evi
dence of hybrids. The work is signif
icant because hybridization among
large mammals is rare, and because
it may lead to better management
practices that would enhance Texas’
$600-million-a-year deer hunting in
dustry.
Dr. Steve Carr, a research scientist
from Texas A&M’s Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, ex
plained that wildlife biologists have
long known that the two species
were intermingling in the Trans-Pe
cos region and have often wondered
if interbreeding could be a reason
for the dwindling number of mule
deer found in West Texas. He said
the answer may be obtained through
the research at A&M’s Wildlife Ge
netics Laboratory, using new genetic
technology that has only recently
been made possible.
Project researchers, supported by
the Caesar Kleberg Foundation, the
National Institutes of Health and the
T£xas Agriculture Experiment Sta
tion (TAES) headquartered at Texas
A&M, are looking at genetic differ
ences between the two species by ex
amining inherited protein and DNA
structures.
“The simplest way to look for hy
bridization is to find genetic differ
ences between the species involved,
and then to look at suspected hybrid
animals for evidence ot genes from
both species,” he said.
The scientists are identifying ge
netic variation between the species
by a variety of techniques. These in
clude protein electrophoresis, which
identifies differences in protein
structures (the primary products of
genes) through their net electrical
charge and size.
They also are looking at mito
chondrial DNA, a special form of
the genetic material found outside
the cell nucleus, using enzymes that
cut the DNA into a series of small
fragments.
The pattern of fragment cuts is
genetically determined and there
are frequently characteristic differ
ences between species, Carr said.
Also, because this type of DNA is in
herited from the mother, the direc
tion of interbreeding between spe
cies can be determined.
Carr and graduate students Jin I
Derr and Scott Ballinger are exam
ining heart, liver and other tissue I
from more than two dozens deercol-i
lected at a Pecos County ranch.
Observations on the ranch tk|
led to the study were made by Dr
Lytle Blankenship, a TAES v
specialist, Carr said.
"Interbreeding poses some inter
esting concerns because there art
significant differences between the
value of these deer as game ani
mals,” he said. “Hunters pay differ
ent prices for leases according to the
kina of quality of deer available.
Mule deer are often preferred be
cause they are larger and have larger
racks.”
