NONSCHEDULED AIRLINES will be chopped nearly 50%, if Civil Aeronautics Board examiners have their way. They recommended to the board that 27 of the surviving 60 big nonscheduled carriers (among them: All American Airways, Monarch Air Service, U.S. Aircoach) be put out of business, on grounds that they overlap scheduled lines.
