City Backs Braniff Bid for Texas Florida Route
Colby of Lubbock, aviation director, urged the Civil Aeronautics Board to award Braniff International the Texas Florida air route. Braniff seeks to reverse a prior board decision favoring Eastern Airline for the Dallas Fort Worth to New Orleans and Tampa St Petersburg corridor. The appeal includes arguments from Colby and other city and chamber officials, citing Braniff’s potential to provide single carrier service to New Orleans and Florida. Meanwhile, two men were arrested in a $35,000 plot to free Canadian bank fugitive Georges LeMay, with alleged involvement by a jailer and a former sheriff’s deputy. The escape spanned floors of a county jail and ended with LeMay on a cable and a waiting car.
