Virgil H. Langtry, Chief Deputy City Attorney, said he sent final briefs to the CAB, stressing a point in the constitution that says “no preference should be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue o the ports of one state over those of another.” Langtry argued that the CAB was granting direct subsidized air service from Seattle while denying it to Portland. A CAB examiner recommended last December against direct sched- uled air service from Portland to Alaska. Pan American Airways and Alaska Airlines, Inc., have applica- tions for the service now pending before the board. Langtry said oral arguments be- fore the CAB would follow, pos- . sibly in late spring. from’| PAGE THREB NO STORY HOUR FOR PRESENT; MRS.
