ings continued. The sessions opened Monday to obtain testimony concerning airline petitions for service over an area covering 800 cities and towns in eight Midwest states, including Indiana. They are expected to continue about three weeks. C. W. Jacob, New York, American Airlines secretary, and Charles A. Rheinstrom, New York, company vice president in charge of traffic, were among yesterday's wit= nesses. Keen competition was evident at yesterday's sessions among American, Transcontinental and Western Air, United, Eastern, and Chicago & Southern airlines representatives. Only One Line Seen Fach company has applied for permission to operate an airline service from Cleveland to St. Louis, through Indianapolis. This route at present is not serviced by any of the lines. Mr, Rheinstrom, in his testimony, declared that Indianapolis would have through international air ‘serv= ice to both Canada and Mexico, if his firm’s petition is accepted. Only one line will receive permission of the civil aeronautics board to operate the Cleveland-St. Louis route. The city also would have direct, non-stop service to Cleveland, he added. On these flights, passengers also could continue to Buffalo, Toronto and other cities in that

Fare Cuts Promised The ‘American Airlines vice president asserted that fare reductions up to 12 per cent for Indianapolis air travelers would be available, if the new route is sanctioned. Mr. Jacob said. the plan was to inaugurate the service to Cleveland with four-engine planes that would make the trip on a 79-minute schedule from here, Proposals from various airlines being considered by the CAB examiners include inter-city helicopter service, airline trunk and feeder lines. At an earlier session, Newton M. Goudy, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce aviation committee secretary, declared that the city’s greatest need is for service between here and Cleveland. He bolstered his arguments with a 299-page statistical document,

Another proposal would hit the treasury from ancther angle. One state delegation wants to give all veterans of this war an extra $1500 per year exemption on their income tax, one year after their discharge for each year they were in service, In effect, this would be a gift of from $300 to about $1200 to every veteran, This plan has only been submitted to the resolutions committee, however, and national leaders have taken no stand on it. Proposed resolutions will be acted on at the closing convention session tomorrow.
