Ozark Gets Okay To Drop St. Joseph
The Civil Aeronautics Board authorized Ozark Air Lines to suspend service at St. Joseph Missouri on the Chicago to Kansas City route. The city and chamber opposed withdrawal, but the CAB found St. Joseph failed the five passengers per day threshold and noted most travelers went to Kansas City for more frequent options. Suspension would cut Ozark costs about 19460 yearly and allow Frontier Airlines to gain over 8500 in annual revenue.

Proposal to Drop A-0 69-Mile Line Draws Opposition
Washington AP A proposal by the Arkansas and Ozarks Railway to abandon its 69 mile line from Harrison Arkansas to Seligman Missouri drew strong opposition from Rep. James W Trimble who filed a protest with the Interstate Commerce Commission. Trimble said local hopes for economic development oppose ceasing operation and noted a possible Arkansas court action to place the line in receivership. The line has a complex history tied to Table Rock reservoir concerns and Army engineer views on a 2.7 mile segment. Gross the New York salvage operator originally planned to junk the line but was persuaded to continue Harrison to Seligman. Army engineers say the small segment would not be submerged, but the railroad seeks full abandonment and liquidation.
