Lewi Q0 ; 0D'-0B : 65 OCLOOMEffi Airline adds fee to cover airports’ landing charges Spokesman: Prices not hikedfor prof FORT WORTH (AP) — American Airlines Inc. has decided that five U.S. airports are charging “exorbitant and intolerable” landing fees, so the airline is adding $1 to $4 to the cost of a ticket to pay the freight. Other airlines said they would not follow the lead of the nation’s largest carrier. American and analysts said they don’t expect the surcharges to establish a norm within the industry. “I don’t see that as any particular trend,” Lee How ard, vice president of consulting firm Airline Econom ics Inc. in Washington, said. “It deals with a specific is sue which has arisen and American Airlines has chosen to see that way as covering what they consider to be ex cessive expenses.” The increased charges amount to about $4 million a year, A1 Becker, spokesman for Fort Worth-based American, which last year earned $730.8 million said. Becker said the charges will take effect Sunday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, Newark International Airport, New Orleans International Airport, Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Fla., and Southwest Florida Regional in Fort Myers, Fla. The fees range from $4 per ticket in Newark to $ 1.50 in New Orleans and $1 for the other three airports. Analysts doubted the increases would affect American’s business since ticket prices average about $200. But Jackie Pate, a spokeswoman for rival Delta Air Lines Inc., said, “Sometimes a passenger wants thevfj lowest fare they can get, so a dollar might makeadifl ence.” American and Delta compete along with other i lines at all five of the affected airports. The fees will be applied only to local boardings those airports,people passing through or coming hoi will not be affectea, the company said. “It’s very simple and straightforward,” America; Becker said. “At those five airports we are covens what we believe to be excessive and unreasonablec It only makes good business sense to do that.” “At LaGuardia, those costs will total about $10 Hi lion over 20 years,” he said. “At Newark, it amountsi I about $1.5 million a year and lesser amounts alii other airports.” The increases involve “budget coverages or ch at those specific airports that go far beyond whatli ought to be,” Becker said. At LaGuardia, for example, the complaint involve lloorcovering used in renovations. American is not trying to exert control over budge at local airports, Becker said, but “we are in the | of explaining to the airports what we believe is lain equitable, based on our experience.” ] lief Summit Ihor (Continued from page 1) racy; monev and reduce the amount of oney spent on the Soviet military. If the conditions are met, “maybe this can lead” to American cash sup port, Bush said. “I wouldn’t set a time frame on when and if the United States de cides to go forward,” Bush added. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who was backed by Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti and French President Francois Mitter rand, proposed sending $15 billion in immediate direct aid from the West, but he could not budge Bush on the issue. Not all the European leaders were g leased with the answer on aid to the oviet Union. “We are on the front line as Euro peans and maybe we can help the United States understand why we want to help the Soviet Union,” Italy’s Andreotti said. “When some one is ill, you don’t want to wait for medicine.” The agreement still allows each nation to send money on its own, which West Germany is expected to do soon. Kohl already has begun a process that will lead to a $3.1 billion aid package to the Soviet Union. Though the leaders engaged in vigorous discussion over aid to the Soviet Union, the issue of agricultu ral subsidies and international trade reforms was the issue most sharply dividing the heads of state. Bush sought big cuts in world farm subsidies to open up the mar ket to freer competition. The United States and other agriculturally effi cient countries wanted Europe to cut its aid to inefficient, small farmers, but most European leaders were ad amantly against it. The final compromise reached by the leaders called for cuts in all farm subsidies by every nation, including the United States, which has a long history of providing subsidies for farmers. The issue had threatened to halt trade negotiations when world trade leaders meet in December in Uru- What’s Up l_ Bk Thursday NARCOTICS^ANONYMOUS: will have a general discussion at 8:30 p.m. Call i info the C.D.P.E. at 845-0280 for more information.

Hobby calls Williams ‘buffoon’ enena em to Ther lance guay. Action on the environment was expected to be a high priority for the European Community, but all the leaders agreed on was to begin nego tiations to slow deforestation of South American rain forests. Europe’s leaders apparently did not push Bush on establishing strict gas emissions controls. Bush is in fa vor of studying whether gas emis sion controls will slow global warm ing. Most environmental groups were not pleased with the lack of action by the Summit Seven, including the Wilderness Society. “President Bush has lulled the other G-7 leaders into an environ mental sleep that abandons their commitment to advance solutions to the world’s most pressing ecological problems,” George Frampton Jr., president of the Wilderness Society, said. But Bush said Wednesday he be lieves as President he must strike middle ground between environ mental concerns and economic con cerns of people working for lumber companies. “I am determined we can find a sound environmental path for the future,” he said. AUSTIN (AP) — At a news con ference where Democrat Ann Rich ards on Wednesday urged Republi can gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams to stick to the issues, a top Richards official called the GOP nominee a “buffoon.” A Williams aide said the name calling demonstrated a “pattern of hypocrisy” by the Democrat’s cam paign. Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, one of three campaign co-chairs appointed Wednesday by Richards, called Wil liams the name while comparing the backgrounds of the two candidates. “Ann is an experienced public of ficial,” he said. “She has efficiently and economically managed the fi nancial affairs of the state ... Her op ponent is a self-proclaimed buf foon,” Hobby said. Richards had little to say when asked about Hobby’s remark, which was made in her presence. “I think Clayton Williams’ actions and behavior speaks for itself. I don’t have to embellish that,” she re plied. A spokesman for Williams, Bill Kenyon, said the incident “is typical of the way Richards has cam paigned” all year. “She talks about issues ... and then she turns around and her campaign leadership starts making personal quips and slanders,” he said. “Clay ton has stuck to the issues. Then they have a press conference like to day,” Kenyon said. After naming Hobby, former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros and former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan as co-chairs of her campaign, Richards said she wanted to remind mis SUIT Bath cr he says that Clayton jNeh is hiding when Clayton iaitl ^ campaigns five or six days: week and she’s lucky to gel'll out once a week.
