Bargain flights
approval asked
WASHINGTON (UPI)
The Civil Aeronautics Board
asked President Carter
yesterday to approve daily
scheduled transatlantic
“Sky train” flights by
Britain’s Laker Airways Ltd.
‘at the bargain price of $135.
Laker’s proposed New
York-London fare would be 65
per cent below the normal
economy class cost of $385
and 80 per cent below the $659
price of normal first class
tickets. The proposed flights
would have only one class of
service.
The London-New York fare
would be 59 British pounds,
which the board said amounts
to about $lO2 at current ex
change rates.
Skytrain tickets would be
sold on a first-come, first
served basis just hours before
each flight, with no op
portunity to make advance
reservations. Despite that
inconvenience, the board
.said, the cut-rate price would
■be “a boon to. . . the
traveling public.”
A CAB spokesman said the
board recommended a one
year approval of Laker’s
proposal, subject to con
ditions designed to let U.S.
airlines initiate similar low
cost transatlantic flights, as
part of its experimental drive
to offer the public lower-cost
air travel.
In its recommendation to

He said such a deadline

Carter, the board noted that
travelers must now pick
between expensive regular
service or discount fares with
restrictions on such things as
how long a trip can last.
“There is little doubt that a
significant number of
travelers will be willing to
undergo the burdens and
uncertainties attendant on
Skytrain service the
burden of what promises to be
a lengthy wait in line for
tickets, plus the uncertainty
of whether enough tickets will
be available on the day the
traveler desires to fly in
return for the low price and
freedom from the rigidities of
the alternative forms of
service,” it said.
The CAB request
represented a major victory
for Laker, which has suc
cessfully fought opposition by
the British government as
well as from other airlines.
Because the President must
approve all foreign air routes,
final determination of
whether to permit Skytrain
flights will be up to Carter.
Laker will not be granted a
monopoly on low-cost flights,
the CAB said. If Carter ap
proves the flights, it , said,
Laker may not start service
until 60 days after filing a
formal tariff and starting
date so U.S. carriers will have
time to propose competing
flights.
kind of objective date by
which we could have the
elementary and secondary
schools of this nation
desegregated,” Califano said
at a news conference.
“We are looking at the
possibility of doing that.”
Califano said a national
deadline might vary by region
or on an urban-rural basis,
“but I’d like to have an ob
jective we could dhoot
toward.”

Carter pleads for reform
WASHINGTON (UPI)
President Carter yesterday
asked congressional leaders
to give Social Security
reform high priority because
there is “grave concern”
among the elderly that their
pensions are-in danger.
Carter made the plea in a
meeting with congressional
leaders and afterwards,
House Speaker Thomas
O’Neill said he will take up
the Social Security issue as
soon as work on the
President’s energy plan is
completed.
O’Neill quoted Carter
saying, “There is grave
concern on the part of our
senior citizens about a certain
element of the press telling
about the Social Security
system going down the
drain.”
He said the President
“would like some Social

Court ruling backs
anti-porn campaign
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
The Supreme Court yesterday
gave further support to anti
obscenity campaigners, but
struck down a New York state
law regulating sales of
nonprescription con
traceptves to both adults and
minors.
The justices upheld 5 to 4 an
Illinois obscenity law under
which a storekeeper was
convicted in Peoria County of
selling two sado-masochistic
publications.
The dissenters notably
Justice John Paul Stevens
who considers current ob
scenity guidelines unrealistic
said the court was reneging
on its promise that no one
would be prosecuted for
selling material not
specifically described in a
statute.
Wesley Ward, who drew a
day in jail and a $2OO fine for
selling publications entitled
“Bizarre World” and
“Illustrated Case Histories, A
Study of Sado-Masochism,”
contended the Illinois law did
not spell out specific kinds of
forbidden sexual contact.

privacy and a violation of free
speech.
The law banned all ad

made it a crime to distirbute
any contraceptives to a
person under 16 and allowed
only licensed pharmacists to
distribute them to persons
over 16.
Since the challenge in

condoms, foams and jellies,
the decision did not cover pills
and intrauterine devices.
Brennan said “the decision
whether or not to beget or

The privacy of both minors
