He describes his trip as a survey trip that he “had been looking for- ward to for some time." The two are flying a new Fair- child 24 seaplane that McWilliams took delivery on for CAA use, to be| based at Fairbanks. | Familiarizing himself with Alas- | kdan flying conditions, eguipment, and fliers as he goes, Bedinger said he does not plan to attend the CAA hearings in Anchorage officially, as the “economic phases” of airways are not in his jurisdiction. | McWilliams has been back to Washington, D. C,, absent from the Territory for the past month, con- ferring with CAA offices, and a tending conferences of CAA insp tors. | The two will take off tomorrow | morning for Anchorage via the Gulf route, and Bedinger will re- turn south in about three weeks, probably by PAA plane from Fait- banks, They are guests at the Gastineau Hotel. e il o 2l Lodirii Ll oy HOSPITAL NOTES f i & I Dorothy Sook underwent a tonsil- ectomy yesterday at St. Ann's Hos-| pital and was dismissed today. | Henry Jackson was dismissed from medical supervision at St. Ann’s Hospital and left for his home in Vancouver, B.
