NATIONAL PLANNING: There may have to be somewhat more Government planning and somewhat less emphasis on growth for growth's sake. In the area of transportation, for example, there is need for vast Government planning of new airport facilities and some curbing of competition. Is it logical or economical for four different airlines to fly half-empty planes at about the same time to the same place? On the other hand, transportation could be made much more efficient if the Government eased some of its old rules covering the shipment of goods. It might be wise to change...
...this would require 5,000 extra buses to transport 250,000 children daily. Gitelson scoffs at all such huge estimates as "merely an exercise in mathematics." Yet the plan does seem impractical, and City Councilman Marvin Braude just could be right when he calls it "a disaster for our community." In a typical if oversimplified anti-integration complaint, he argues that "you just can't solve all the inequities in our society by putting the burden on small schoolchildren." Given the Administration's current stance, Los Angeles too hopes to be rescued by the President if higher courts...
AFTER two planes carrying passengers and mail for Israel were torn by explosions, a newsman asked Minister of Transport Ezer Weizman what he proposed to do. "This is not a problem for a Transport Minister," Weizman replied. His meaning was plain: it was a job more suited to someone like his brother-in-law, who happens to be Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan...
...offing is for the BIA bomber. Boeing, North American Rockwell and General Dynamics are competing. The Air Force wants 240 B-lA's, at a total cost of between $11.8 billion and $12.6 billion. But Congress is already disenchanted with cost overruns on the C-5A transport. And as long as there remains a possibility of some agreement with the Soviet Union on strategic-arms limitation, there remains some doubt that Congress will vote money to build the B-lA. Among other contracts in the offing are: a new "freedom fighter" for export to allied nations, the Safeguard anti...
Lockheed's problems center around the giant C-5A transport, which overran cost estimates by $1 billion in development. The Air Force has cut back its C-5A order from 115 aircraft to 81, and the final estimates of the loss to Lockheed have yet to come in. Overall, Lockheed is feeling less pinch than most of its competitors. It expects to increase its total work force this year by 2,000, to 100,000, as production begins on its L-1011 airbus. Similarly, General Dynamics plans no cutbacks in its 70,000-man labor force during 1970 -unless...
