John W. Troy. This plan, sug- gested several weeks ago by Judge Charles A. Reynolds, Chairman of the Mediation Board, to Gov. Troy and was recommended, with amplica- tions, by him to Secretary Ickes. The Secretary has, appar- ently, decided to adopt the plan without further delay. This was revealed today in a telegram from him to the Governor which said: “I have directed Col. Ohlson to pro- ceed to Seattle by airplane to negotiate for charter of vessels for Alaska service.” Charter to Railroad This follows out the Governor’s original recommendation which was that the Alaska Railroad, a Gov- ernment corporation, was auihor- ized by law to charter steamships and could use that authority to charter vessels tied up in Seattle and immediately put them into commercial service to relieve the situation. He proposed that Col. Ohlson be authorized to charter the entire fleet that normally op- erates between Seattle and Alaska. It was reported here Sunday by Joe Crosson, PAA pilot who wag here enroute to Seattle with pas- sengers, that another PAA plane was waiting at Anchorage for word from Washington to take Col. Ohlson to Seattle. He said it was expected this would come through at any time and that the rail chief would reach Juneau either today or Wednesday.
