About 1,364,000 U.S. citizens would travel abroad in 1956, a 15 percent rise, with potential 50 percent fare increases if foreign travel accords are reached. Airlines seek a third overseas service with fares below today’s tourist rate, naming a New York to London trip at about 400 dollars round trip.
