Scarlet Tribune Staff Writer Although he didnt return from a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing California with a solution to what he believes is air fare discrimination, Salt Lake City International Airport Director Paul Gaines did come back with a partial victory. There are no easy solutions to this, he said, but CAB officials told Mr. Gaines and representatives of several other airports the agency would continue to monitor the fares airlines charge for flights to and from various localities. Mr. Gaines contended in a Tribune article several ' weeks ago that the airlines have been charging exorbitant fares for flights in and out of Salt Lake City, possibly in order to subsidize the much lower fares the airlines charge for other flights. Complain of Similar Practices He said representatives of the airports in Portland, Ore., Oakland and Sacramento, Calif., also complained of similar practices at the CAB hearing, which was held in Sacramento Dec. 5. Citing an example, Mr. Gaines said the Salt Lake City Citys round trip fare to New York is $419 higher than the San Francisco-NeYork fare. Our New York fare is 94 percent higher than the Los Angeles fare, for a trip that is 71 percent as long, and 88 percent higher than the San Francisco fare for a trip as long, he said. It is incredible but true that the fare from San Francisco to New York ($129) over a distance of 2,586 miles is actually lower than the Salt Lake City-SaFrancisco fare ($135), where the distance is 599 miles Mr. Gaines added. In the fare relationship of key long-hamarkets like Chicago, New York and San Francisco, Salt Lake Citys fare per mile is from 100 percent to 176 percent higher than Denvers. Denvers favored position in the area of fares exacerbates adequate airline services, Mr. Gaines said. He said there is no justification for such a large disparity, and urged investigations into the matter by the CAB and Congress. Mr. Gaines said he was pleased the CAB agreed to continue monitoring air fares, although the federal agency has. relinquished much of its regulatory sway over the airlines. Has Very Little Power The CAB has very little power over the airlines, which the CAB has given up in conjunction with airline deregulation he said. I realize that the problem of fare relationships is difficult in a freely competitive market, but I submit that the public interest is not served by a system which flagrantly favors the larger cities and thereby deprives the smaller cities of service which they would adequately support but for artificial pricing preferences given to the larger cities, he said. We are ready and willing to absorb our reasonable share of the rising cost of air transportation. But we are not willing to accept fare increases which are apparently imposed upon us as a means of subsidizing losses in other markets, he added. No Easy Answers Mr. Gaines admitted there are no easy answers! I wish that I had a simple solution- to the fare problem. Unfortunately, it does not lend itself to a simple solution. w two-thir- n ' Dan Valentines IOoal News Obituaries TV Fare Page B-- 2 Monday Morning, December 15, 1980 Page One Section it That Hazy Stuff Is Still Hanging In Fog and smog persisted in the valleys along the Wasatch Front Sunday, but it was not quite as heavy as on .Saturday.

Yoko Ono, John Lennons widow, had asked 10 minutes of unspoken observance for her husband, and those in the gathering spoke only with symbols.
