MR (hritma Jarbj Air Route Is Awarded To Southern WASHINGTON AP) The Civil Aeronautics Board announced Friday its decision in the Southeastern Area Local Serv ice Case, awarding a large share of the air routes involved to Southern Airways.

The board said it was guided in its decision bv its "use it or lose it" policy. The CAB's aim is to allow communities to demonstrate whether the use being made of the service authorized warrants the cost to the govern ment of its continuance. This is another in a series o. cases in which the board is n. examining the local air service pattern in this country.

The Southeastern case involves local air service primarily in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mis sissippi and Tennessee. It also in volves some South Carolina serv ice. Other services authorized by Southern Airways: 1. New service between Nash ville and Tri-Cities on the Ten nessee Virginia border, for five years. 2.

New service between Tri-Cities and Huntsville, for five years. 3. New service between Nashville and New Orleans for five 4. Extension of present Atlanta-Panama City, route to New Orleans. 5.

P. Calli- son said Friday night. This city, involved in the Piedmont Area Case, will have service by agreement with Southern for about two more years when a decision in this case is expected. The CAB Friday granted South ern expanded routing between Charlotte, N. C.

Trust Fund Fight Begins NEW YORK (AP) A court battle has started over a multi-million dollar trust fund set up by the late John D. Rockefeller and the outcome will affect four children and four charitable organizations. The case got under way Friday before Slate Supreme Court Justice Arthur Markewich who set March 15 as the date for submission of brieis defining the issues.

The trust fund originally was established by Rockefeller in 1917 for his daughter, Edith Rockefeller McCormick. After her death it was split among her three chil dren. Two shares already have been paid to two of the children or their heirs. A third share was held in trust for the third child, Muriel McCormick Hubbard, who died in Connecticut last March 18 at 56. Mrs.

Hubbard had four adopted children, all under 7. Her estate contends that they constitute legal "issue" and are entitled to inherit the principal of the trust. A trust committee, headed by John D. Rockefeller III, holds that the children, by being adopted, are not legal issue. In court, the Chase Manhattan Bank asked for an order permitting it to terminate the trust with payments to charitable corporations as recommended by the committee.

Three of these payments, at $100,000 each would be to Bennett College, Millbrook, N. the Church of the Holy Trinity, 'Mid-dletown, and the Visiting Nurse Service of Chicago. The balance nine million dollars would go to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts of New York. The center hopes to use it for the Juilliard School of Music. Attorneys believe the case won't be settled for months, even years.

Sometimes a secular tune would be used again for worldly-purposes after becoming a popular carol. Carols were written by clergymen, poets, composers, peasants, and scholares vagantes, those products of European universities "equally at home in ale-house, in hall, in market-place, or in cloister." Hundreds of carols ere ritten in England between 1400 and 1617, the year the Puritan Par-liament abolished Christmas celebrations and suppressed carols. The songs were kept alive by oral tradition and crudely printed broadsheets of favorites, but they did not fully regain their popularity for some 200 years.

You get up to a certain place and 10 more submarines won't do you nearly as much good as three down at the lower or early part of the curve. In other words, 10 more submarines at the top won't be worth the cost.

That's not only true of submarines, that's true of any other weapon, Q. Like the "overkill" argument A. Yes, it is part of the argument. Q. On the Polaris submarine, it seems to me that construction of only three a year is a fairly slow rate A.

It is. We asked for more, of course, but we were told, "Let's wait for another year until everything has been tested." Our tests are right on schedule and we have had some surprisingly good success. But, after all, it is not an operational weapon yet. I think when it is oioerating in less than a year, people will say, "Now, we have an operational weapon, let's increase the rate of building." I'm impatient, naturally. They are not cheap, but they are not the most expensive way of doing it (achieving a retaliatory capabili ty), either.

Officer Finds Missing Wife AUGUSTA, Ga- W-A woman found wandering on a highway near Thomson and brought to Tal madge Memorial Hospital here earlier this week has been identi fied at the wife of an army officer stationed at Ft. McPherson. Maj. Enoch G. Martin arrived from Atlanta and confirmed iden tification, a physician at Talmade Hospital said Saturday.

Mrs. Martin, along with the major's car, had been missing since Monday, according to GBI Agent J. L. Kelley of Grovetown. When the car was traced to Martin, he confirmed that it had been missing and said the discrip tion of the woman -picked up tal lied with that of his wife.

Mrs. Martin was reported in satisfactory physical condition, but was described as She was expected to remain at the hospital for further observation.

Nor'l. Bank Bldg. There are key military men in the Pentagon who believe the SSBN may ultimately become the backbone of the U. S. nuclear deterrent force, much as the Strategic Air Command is now with its long-range nuclear bombers.

Against this background, a re porter asked Adm. Arleigh Burke chief of naval operations, to dis- cuss the SSBN and related naval matters. Before presenting the rar-ranging interview, in question and answer form, these points should be noted: 1. The Navy developed the SSBN on the theory that oceans provide a perfect hiding place for missile launchers retaining their capacity to retaliate even after many fixed missile bases on land should be knocked out in a surprise attack. Present plans call for the building of three SSBN's a year for the next 15 years.

2. Commissioning of the George Washington will be only a small glep toward creation of a new weapons system. The ship cost 105 million has a crew of 100 and an underwater displacement of 6,700 tons. It is designed to carry 16 Polaris missiles. But as yet Polaris is not operational and is not expected to be until sometime next year.

The missile eventually will have a range of 1,500 miles. ONLY ONE FUNCTION While the George Washington i rreans an important strengthening of the U. S. fleet, she has one function only nuclear retaliation. As Adm.

Burke points out, she is useless for limited wars. 4. The Soviet Union is estimated to have some 500 submarines. While the Soviet undersea fleet has been growing and presumably the Soviets are also building SSBN's the U. S.

fleet has been ihrinking steadily. The interview: Q. This interview was prompted, idmiral, by the suspicion that the rufrsy.n a i i rem tapaunuy is one 01 me uais horses in the (interservice) missile race. Are you familiar with Cmdr. M.

G. Saunders of the British Royal Navy? A. Yes, I know some of his tuff. Q. He has made the observation that the submarine is the one outstanding weapon of the missile age, that it possesses mobility, surprise, endurance and a high degree of immunity.

Do you consider the Polaris sub the ONE outstanding weapon? "IT CAN'T COOK" A. Yes and no. People can't put things into nice little categories like that. The Polaris submarine, I think, will be one of the most effective retaliatory weapons in the whole world. It has a lot of advantages, but it can't cook.

In other words there are lot of things it can't do. When you need a squad of Marines an area, you can have 5,000 Polaris submarines lation of a military book by two Polish generals. They make the point that surface ships, such as carriers, will become obsolete in a major war due to developments in missiles heat seeking and oth er homing devices. Do you for- see jhat any time in the near fu ture" A. No, I don't.

First, speaking? Are they speaking for our good or theirs? Q. This is addressed to their internal organization. A. But they haven't any carriers. What interests do they serve? That's the first thing tc watch.

The second thing is that for every measure there is eventually some sort of countermeasure. A heat-seeking homing device first has to get within range. Also if the device is looking for heat sources. it is possible to provide a lot of heat sourcrs which aren't necessarily ships. If they are looking for radar targets, you can give them a lot of radar targets which are not necessarily ships.

Homing devices have a preset mechanism, a preset idea, and you can mix them up. That's the second point. The third point Is that control of the seas is dependent upon surface ships because the cargo of the world is carried in surface ships. Support of our allies, support of our own forces is done bv surface shjpS jf for fl ny reason at all, you didn't have surface ships, then we would have no alliances. WESTERN EUROPE? Q.

Several experts lately have indicated a belief that Western Europe would be last in event of a major war. Do you believe that? A. No. With the advent of the ballistic missile, combined with nuclear weapons, the probability of general war is becoming more and more remote, but we always have to be prepareo for it. In the event there is a general war.

how pvpr Pnl af 'actually be increased. A ballistic missile is something that requires a fixed address. Consequently, ships at sea, not having fixed addresses, are Iks subject to destruction by ballistic missiles. So, as nations spend more of their effort on the production of ballistic missiles, they are not spending it for things that will destroy naval ships or any ships. Q.

I believe the latest figure for Soviet submarine strength is something around 500, including 280 to 300 medium and long-range A. I think that is correct. Q. Are you satisfied now with the Navy's ability to protect the Atlantic and Pacific sea lanes? Are you satisfied with your Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) capability? A. No.

I'm not satisfied with any other capability we've got, ei- ther WE OFFER SUBJECT: 225 Shs. Americon Heritoge Life Ins. Co o7 259 Shs. Americon Investors Qorp ai) 37, 351 Shs. American Security Inv.

The capabilities have increased. We're short of ships, particularly modern ships, and we're concerned about our shipbuilding. Q.

If the Soviet submarines began an abmpt dispersal, apparently going on station, would we have the means to counter them all? A. No, and you never will have. You can never have an absolute defense for anything well, not quite that. If they were to attack they would get hurt. Q.

Getting back to the Polaris. You have used the figure 40-45 missile submarines. How did you arrive at the maximum figure Forty-five is not a fixed figure. Forty-five is a number. It is in that neighborhood, under the circumstances that exist now.

The reasons for using that figure are these: supposing you have as many as 3 submarines on station, and you can do that keep about two-thirds of your submarines on station with 16 missiles each. TWO CREWS EACH (The SSBN's will each have two crews, one resting ashore and the other on duty at sea. Two crews will enable an SSBN to remain at sea almost constantly). Q. That is an awful lot of missiles.

A. That is an awful lot of missiles. And supposing, we'll say, half of those missiles for one reason or another miss the target. You put two missiles on each target. Thai's eight targets per ship.
