All Military Plane Transport
To Be Merged Effective June 7
By John A. Giles
Consolidation of the Naval and
Air Force air transport systems into
a single Military Air Transport Serv
ice with 274 planes and routes total*
l ing 65,000 miles will become a
i reality on June 1, Defense Secretary
Forrestal announced yesterday.
It will mark the first real merger
of any sizeable functions of the
*armed services since passage of the
unification act last year.
The new' command, headed by
MaJ. Gen. Laurence S. Kuter, has
been assigned to the .Air Force and
will operate directly under the
chief of staff, Gen. Hoyt S. Vanden
berg. Both the Naval Air Transport
Service and the Air Transport
Command will cease to exist.
Originally the MATS was sche
duled to begin operations. May 1
but Assistant Air Force Secretarj
C. V. Whitney explained that “du<
to the tremendous amount of detail
involved in the negotiations it wa'
found impractical to put it intc
effect until a month later,” Mr
Forrestal directed the consolidation
on March 1.
“Bound to Be a Saving.”
Officials would make no estimate
of savings to the taxpayer, but Gen
Kuter pointed out that “it is cleai
that where duplicating control and
terminal establishments can be
eliminated, there is bound to be a
saving.”
He cited National Airport as an
example, and announced that du
plicating terminal facilities main
tained there by ATC and NATS had
been eliminated and the old ATC

space already was being used jointly.
The MATS, whose routes will go
around the world, will be responsi
ble for providing domestic and for
eign scheduled air transportation
for all three services and other Gov
ernmental agencies when required.
It will operate two lines to the
Orient—one from San Francisco by,
way of Honolulu, Kwajalein and
Guam, and the other through
| Anchorage, Adak and Tokyo. It has
i three trans-Atlantic routes and
three across the United States.
It has routes to Central America
°nd down to Rio de Janeiro and a
line in the West through Canada to
i Kittigazuit and Cambridge Bay. On
! the eastern coast a line goes through
| Newfoundland to Greenland and up
j to Thule, then over to Eureka Sound
and Resolute Bay in the Northern
(Canadian region.
It will be possible to circle the
! globe by MATS via Burma, India,
the Middle East and North Africa.
There are no routes to Australia.
The terminal in Germany is Frank
, furt.
The ATC will put 176 four-en
gine planes into MATS, and the
NATS will contribute 39. On some
of the routes there will be 55 two
engine planes from ATC and four
from NATS.
The MATS will have 11,900 uni
formed personnel of which 8,900
will come from ATC and 3,000 from
the Navy.
Mr. Whitney noted that the Navy
officers could command Air Force
people and vice versa.
"Disciplinary actions, when re
quired, will go up their own service
channels,” he added.
Rear Admiral John P. Whitney is
vice commander of MATS. There
will be two deputy commanders—
Maj. Gen. William H. Turney for air
transport operations and Maj. Gen.
H. M. McClelland for operational
j services.
\ The consolidated service also will
be responsible for providing global
Air Force communications, weather,
air rescue and flight services. No
naval air facilities,, will be turned
over to the MATS organization but
services will be rendered where
needed.
Both Mr. Whitney and Gen. Kuter,
as well as John N. Brown, Secretary
of the Navy for Air, stressed that
the consolidation would be evolved
gradually and the organization was
"flexible.” For the time being, Air
Force and Navy crews will continue
'on their present jobs.
One example of the new operation
is illustrated by Air Force and Navy
flights from National Airport to the
West Coast.
The NATS has been flying the
"Hot-Shot” six times weekly from
here to Moffett Field near San
Francisco, and the ATC the "States
man” three times weekly to Fair
field near the same city. The NATS
will continue to operate nine flights
weekly as long as required and even
tually they will land at the same
West Coast base.
Air Derby to Be Held Today
At Bailey's Crossroads
The 12th annual Washington Air
Derby will‘be held at 2 o’clock this
; afternoon at the Washington-Vir
ginia Airport at Bailev’s Crossroads.
Va. *
Stunts will include landing an air
plane atop a running automobile and
two and a half mile delayed para
chute jumps. Tommy Dorsey, or
chestra leader, has been invited as
an honor guest.
One of the highlights of the show
will be the flying of a ‘ Siamese air
plane”—two planes bolted together—
the left wing removed from one and
the right wing off another, and the
planes then joined, officials ex
plained.
