INGS MOUNTAIN. N, C. Thursdoy. August 29. 196S IN HIS FOOTSTEPS «i Viewpoints of Other Editors THE RIGHT TRACK If The baton of the United States li Youth Games, staged for the first I' time last year, was taken hold ^ of firmly by the flocks of 10-to- 115-year-olds competing this week- lend in St. Louis. And from the [enthusiasm of the 64-youngster [teams from 12 major United [states cities who ran and jump- led in this year’s version of a 1 “junior Olympics,” the baton will |be relayed into subsequent sum- Imers as well.

In that case, what about the vast labor pool of nearby New York City’s nearly 800,000 welfare recipients?

It would merely make absolutely clear the authority the Board thought it had before the Supreme Court recently muddied the wa ters. The supplemental carriers — there are now 13 of them with 192 large aircraft — have been an important competitive .spur to the much larger and better known scheduled carriers.
