The Air Operations Bureau of the Civil Aeronautics Board urged immediate fare cuts of 4.60 percent to a level about 4 from February 1958 and a further 4.75 percent on July 1 to reach roughly 4 cents above the February 1958 level. Airlines disagreed, seeking further rate increases, while CAB examiners had proposed a 12 percent rise from pre February 1958 levels.
