' A RIGHT EARNED Should anyone in Alaska doubt Pan American Airways' right to a place in the sun as far as any post-war plans for global air transportation are con- cerned, a glance through the company’s recently pub- lished booklet, “The Panair Way,” would be en- lightening At present, with war needs paramount, the civil- fan trade for air travel, which made this company the valuable transportation asset which it is, has| taken a secondary seat in consideration. But this has been necessary. In Alaska, few flying organize tions, if any, had the pioneering experience necessary to maintain the important war service routes which the pilots of Pan American are now flying The booklet we mention was written as a hand- book of information for personnel and the company is out for no glory grabbing. Maybe we shouldn have stuck our nose into its pa The publication tells the story of Pan Americar in Alaska from its beginning in 1932 with the chase of Alaska Airways and Pacl Alrways, and the formation of Pacific / its present operation—now pur- Internationa k n a Alrway: to the effort To people who know the story of Pacific Alaska Airways from those days of 1932, “global operation’ mainly wa of airlines is not a new story.

Operations began in Alaska— in Fairbanks and Nome—and pointed south to Ju- neau and the United States. - Although eight years went by before the connecting link between Alaska and the States was established, that link was visual- ized; it was one goal of a plan defined before Pan | American made its first move in 1932 in taking over the local companies which were to be the basis of the Alaska network. | “While the Alaskan operations went from Fair- childrs and Stinsons to Fleetsers—from Fleetsers to |Lockheed Electras, Lodestars, Sikorskys and DC-3s— the planning was always for greater planes, and op- erations on a Company executives were aiming for the use of giant 4-engined planes to fly above the hazards of wind and weather—to Al- aska and ‘over the top’ of the world centers beyond. The war has made such planes until this time un- |available .for Alaska. Pan American Airways was actually planning polar or global services to |through Alaska over a decade ago—long before many lof the present airlines were even thought of: “Even greater destiny awaits Pan American’s Al- aska service when the war is ended.

Lehmitz, Staten Island restaurant porter who has pleaded guilty to charges of esrionage Ever since Pearl Harbor he has been sending information back to Germany via neutral countries n ship movements, convoys, details of munitions manufacture and troop movements. Lehmitz didn't get his information by beautiful girl spies or chloroforming Army officers in taxicabs. He didn't get it by bribery; his sources would have poked him in the nose if he offercd noney. He got it by listening to gossip 'from average Americans. \ He talked to seamen and sailors to whom he rented rooms. While working as a restaurant porter or hanging around saloons in his off houts, he picked up chatter from war workers or men about to sail in convoys. As E. E. Conroy, special FBI agent in charge of the New York office, pointed out, highly trained agents like Lehmitz “can reconstruct the entire make- up of a convoy or troop movement from fragmentary hiring | information obtained at random.” That is exactly the warning The Record sound- ed in January of 1942, when we pointed out that | enemy agents are interested in facts we come across in our day’s work—facts that seem routine to us, but foretold that the Aquarian a8e|,. . eace our vocabulary by mastering one word each day.
