January 3> 1958 Dear Al, Thanks muchly for your call today. In the event that you don?╟╓t call back before I leave at 6 wanted to jot you another line * By the way - mark down my home phone number in the event that you ever want to reach me at home oyer the week end, at night or whatever - it?╟╓s Culver City, telephone VErmont 9-9120. I took the liberty this afternoon Al of. contacting an old friend of mine who is the L.A. head of Qantas Empire Airways re your project proposal. As I told you before, I have not approached our New York office on this and will not until we can get your go-ahead. So in talking to this friend of mine today in was purely a case of sounding him out on a keep it under your hat basis. First of all, there will be a devil of a lot of people travelling on this project if put in operation. First of all likely Mr. Entratter and yourself - bringing the girls from Europe and moving many, many more girls within various European countries! for semi-finals, finals, etc. We will' first of all 'need ,a good airline to coordinate and move with. I know ilhat you know many of the airline people - probably a lot more than we do but, as I say, this was 'just a sounding out of an old friend. vThiA Qantas airline is the Australian airline and on next ?Jan.! jpfth they will be the first line truly "around the world" With new service to commence San Francisco to London. Other than this brand new leg?║they fly San Francisco via Honolulu to-Sydney; to.Far East, India, Egypt, Rome, London, San, Francisco. We have worked^ a -lot with them - they have service among tops in the world'arid we might get them in real good' to share costs somewhere, somehow on transportation. We can talk about this more when you give me the word tb start operating. I?╟╓ll await, further word from you Al. In the meantime, all the best and a very happy New Year to you. Sincerely,.
