ATLANTIC DIVISION
MARCH, 1955
Volume 14
Um-m-m-m, Good!
3Va°Io Dividend Is Voted Credit Union
The Atlantic Diviison Federal Credit Union, at its annual meeting, announced that a dividend of 3 % per cent would be paid for shares on record as of December 31, 1954.
Assets of the Credit Union for the past year were $813,847.35, it was said. And the dividend was based on- a net income of $22,-818.12 for the year.
There are 3,179 shareholders, all employees based in the New York area. Last year, there were 1,694 borrowers who took out a total of 3,456 loans which amount to $965,-853.
-<*> The Idlewild of the near future will be an airport to accommodate 140 giant airliners simultaneously, with all their passengers, baggage and cargo, according to plans announced late last month by the Port of New York Authority.
The improvements at the airport, which now can handle only 29 transport planes at the same time, will begin in the fall of this year and will cost $60,000,000 it was stated.

Pan Am New Istanbul Sales Office
A new Pan American sales office for Istanbul had its formal opening on February 4. And to celebrate the occasion a cocktail party was held which was attended by about 250 people.
The guest list included the governor of Istanbul, Prof. Dr. F. K Gokay; the American consul general, Arthur Richards, and repre sentatives of the Turkish army, navy and diplomatic corps.
* Company personnel in attendance included: Paul Rennell, Division sales manager; Richard Forhan, Regional (ME & A) director; Pete Cornwall, assistant to the Division traffic and sales manager; George Wilson, DTSM in Beirut; James O. Leet, DTSM in London; Fred Tupper, of pubrel in London; Guenther Mayer-Rol-shoven, DTSM in Duesseldorf, and Lloyd Wilson, DTSM in Frankfurt.
A print of the Römer and a book about Hesse from the Oberbürgermeister of Frankfurt, and a statue from the Oberbürgermeister of Duesseldorf, were presented by the two last mentioned PAA representatives, to the governor (Continued on Page 3)
Direct Nassau Services From NYK Requested
An application to fly non-stop between New York and Nassau, giving an American carrier the opportunity to compete with BOAC on that route, was filed with the CAB last month by Pan American.
The airline has served Nassau from Miami for more than 25 years, the application said, and has had on file for more than five years a request that New York be designated as co-terminal with Miami for Nassau service.
Pan American has also sought permission to connect New York and Nassau by equipment inter change with domestic carriers at Miami, the application said. It has now become apparent,' however, that service requiring a stop at Miami would not meet traffic needs, it was further stated.
The direct course from New York to Nassau is 1,096 miles, against 1,281 miles via Miami. A southbound flight, including a 45-minute stop at Miami, would take about 6V2 hours, compared with 4% hours direct.
On northbound flights, a longer stop would be required for government formalities, and the total time differential would be more (Continued on Page 3)

Company Asks CAB To Reconsider Its Rate Set For Mail
'petit18n*for reargu 2rL_ consideration and further hearing, with respect to an order issued by the CAB on December 20, 1954, was filed with the CAB last month by Pan American World Airways.
The board’s order, which established mail rates for AOA and TWA, also established two separate rates for Pan American’s transatlantic operations.
One of the crates established for Pan American covered the period from January 1, 1946, through December 31, 1953. And the other (Continued on Page 2)
PAA Still Wants Restrictions Lifted On Great Circle Route
President Eisenhower’s decision on whether Pan Am will be permitted to fly the direct “Great Circle” route between the West Coast and the Orient was still re served when this edition went to press.
Pan Am and Northwest Airlines both serve the same markets in the Orient. The right to serve additional markets there is not at issue. The decision involves the flight path that Pan American Clippers are permitted to take on their way to the Orient.
Listed below are some compelling reasons for lifting the restriction which now requires the company to stop at a mid-Pacific island on flights between the U.S. and the Orient.
1. The restriction is waseful of taxpayer’s money. Two thirds of PAA’s passengers between the U. S. and the Orient have no wish to stop at Hawaii. Yet they are forced to fly an extra 2,000 miles from New York, an extra 1,000 miles from San Francisco. The
more plane miles flown, the more the cost. As long as airlines are on subsidy, this waste flying costs the taxpayers $220,000 per weekly round trip per year. Passengers should not be required to go out of their way against their own wishes and and at extra cost to the government.
2. The restriction nullifies technical progress. Pan Am’s DC-7Cs, due for delivery next spring, will be able to make the trip non-stop all the way across the Pacific in both directions eastbound 100 per cent of the time and westbound at least 70 per cent of the time with full cabin loads. Forcing PAA’s DC-7Cs to stop at a mid-Pacific island nullifies engineering advance.
3. The restriction is unfair. President Eisenhower, in allowing Northwest also to operate the Seattle-Hawaii route, said it VFould give both PAA and Northwest “an equal opportunity to

a 665-acre central landscaped oval. The buildings will be connected, with each other and to the Van Wyck Expressway and other highways into New York City, by ten miles of two-lane roads.
Idlewild Terminal City will have penthouse restaurants, religious chapels, coffee shops, stores, cocktail lounges, a bank, a heliport for
copters and convertiplaneS other facilities of a small, modem city.
There will be parking space within its limits for 6,000 automobiles, reflecting the rapidly growing tie-up between automobile and air travel.
300-Room Hotel
Close by the central landscaped oval area, a new 300-room air-conditioned hotel will be erected for the use of travelers not wishing to leave Idlewild Airport during stopovers, and of other persons such as the families of arriving or departing passengers from outside New York.
Although the new International Arrival Building together with the-two foreign air line wing buildings are scheduled to be completed some time early in 1957, the Port Authority estimates that between four and five years will be needed to finish all of Terminal City.
The plans include many special (■Continued on Page 4)
