The necessity of having rad'o gets on hydroplanes operating in Alaskan waters may be realized in that a hydroplane without a radio might be disabled and in perfect safety but unable to communicate with the outside world Another disadvantage of having engine trouble and making a forc, ed landing in Alaskan waters is ¢he fact that there are no Coast Guard life saving stations located three miles apart on the mnr!p} travelled inner water route of Southeastern Alaska, as there are on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The scarcity of towns and villages along this route would also make it foolhardy to attempt to oper- ate such a service without equip- ping the planes with radio. The members of this conference wefe Karl Theile, Secreta of Alaska; Com. Edward 8. Addison, in command of the U. 8¢ . G. cut- ter Unalga; R. J. Sommers, Chief Engineer of the Territorial Road Commission; and Ralph C. Mize, Weather Observer. The Post Office Department is contemplating the inauguration of air mail service between Juneau and 'Seattie, and the conference was held at the request of the Department. —————— SPERLING IS GOING TO SKAGWAY; VISIT ELKS Harry Sperling, District De- puty of the B.
