Airmen charge that State's Office of Transport and Communications, the branch responsible for working out air agreements, is dispensing U.S. routes to foreign operators with far too lavish a hand, and getting little-or nothing-in return.

...keep the pop-music business popping, record makers and agents nurture promising young singers with the elaborate care that race-track trainers lavish on two-year-olds. When young singers are signed, they usually get new, tongue-tempting names, are advised how to dress and behave before the great public and carted off to woo the hit-making disk jockeys in a well-traveled circuit of key pop cities: Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh (neither New York nor Washington is regarded as a reliable pop town).
