NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seaitle, Wash. AIR SERVICE Military and naval authorities this month lifted a few of the restrictions on the publication of the | story of how the airplane is serving ip the present | global conflict. When the war is over, and the rul] story can be told, an amazing report will be unfoldcd America's war-urgent supply services have boost- ed trans-oceanic flying to undreamed of records. Recently, a huge four-engined flying transport arrived at an East Coast port to mark 5000 trans-oceanic crossings made by flight crews of the Pan American Airways System since Pearl Harbor, and this is the record of only one company. It represents only part | of the war transport flying being done and the records | being broken every day by the Air Transport Com- mand of the U. S. Army Air Forces and the Naval Air | Transport Service for which Pan American Airways and other domestic airlines operate war cargo routes under contract. On the Pacific, Pan American crews have com- pleted more than 1221 crossings of the North Pacific and a total of more than 1741 Pacific crossings including the South Pacific flights. This one airline, alone, has flown more than 21 million miles since the war started, carrying some 100 million ton miles of war cargo to overseas destina- tions—an indication of what may come into the trans- portation picture after the war. Many new routes have been established, although these are still secret, as well as the type of cargo| and the transport passengers flown. Government and military passengers representing the 33 United Na- tions have been carried by air, including the following: President. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, New Zealand Minister Peter Fraser, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, Prince Olav of Norway, King George of Greece, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Harry Hopkins, W. Averill Harriman, Donald Nelson, Wen- dell L. Willkie, Gen, George C. Marshall, Admiral Ernest King, Gen. H. H. Arnold, Admiral Chester Nimitz and many others. By air these important passengers may be carried to almost any destination on a moment’s notice regardless of quick changes in strategy. The groundwork for probably the greatest air travel cra the world has seen is now being laid under difficult conditions. Germany's Plight (Cincinnati Enquirer) The evacuation of Berlin, which reports tell us now is under way on a gigantic scale, will have a telling effect on German morale. How deeply it willy penetrate the hearts of the Nazis we do not yet know; but that it will do much to hasten the end of the war is certain. London underwent a long and ghastly series of air attacks earlier in the conflict, but it is difficult to compare accurately the Berlin situation with that which existed in England. The tempers of the two nations are basically different; what served to put steel into British resistance probably will not work the same way on the German populace. Then, too, the fury of the London raids were nothing to compare with the attacks which RAF and American bombers have carried on against the Ger- man capital. Allies are dropping tons of high ex- | plosives for pounds which the Nazis carried over | London. The tempo of the fight has been longer b sustained; promises to continue to increase rather than to decrease. There is still another factor which must be con- sidered in attempting any comparison of the effect |on popular morale. The English felt that they had |a couple of aces in the hole even during the worst of thelr suffering. There were the colonies, ready and willing to lend bases and refuge as well as material aid. And there was America. During the early years zof the war the English saw us coming nearer and nearer; they saw our ships bringing more and more goods. They knew that the day had would arrive— {if they would only hold on—when all our mighty | | economic and military machine would be thrown Lo‘ | their support. That, in itself, was enough to bolster morale on the tight little islands—if, indeed, such bolstering was needed. | Germany, in the midst of her ruined cities, fac- | tories and shops, has no such backing. No other | nation even contemplates coming to her aid. She is alone, and her troops of oceupation are in dlien lands, whose people hate them with smoldering, yet burning, fury. She sees her own reserves sagging, with no help available; no light of support or sym- pathy on any side. We can be sure that these things, coupled with | the regular and terrible blastings which her major | cities are receiving, is breaking down German morale in spite of the warnings of- Himmler; in spite of thr: terrors of his Gestapo.

Fifth col-| amnists will make them targets for evil reports. They should be on| suard against even the appearance | of laxity in soeial relations of every | sort. The Winter is to be marked by ~dastardly attempts to misre-| sresent - American womanhood. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Farsnzht.ed‘ igriculturists will prepare for a| postwar farm boom of vast possi- | bilities. Reliance on the United | States for aid will result in con- | tinued exports of immense quan- tities of foodstuffs for the rehabili- ation of famished victims of Axis parbarism. Wiser than in the 1920’s, American farmers will conduct their affairs with business acumen and will reap good profits with dim- inishing Government aid. NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor turn- overs among women employed in| | war industries and mounting num- bers of absentees will cause in-| |creased anxiety through the holi-| day season, it is forecast. House- | wives will be influenced by long-| established habits of hospitality, | and patriotism will be submerged in the usual Christmas shopping frenzy. The seers warn that duty| to the nation must rule. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS The stars, which promise survival| |for the French nation after terrible events that seem to threaten lasting loss of power, are read as indicat-| ing a postwar decade of slow re-| |intrigue and turmotl are indicated | \as retarding factors in l'pco)\sn'uc-" tion. was being examined he asked | tive as ever, prior to the operation, the doctor: “Doc, do you think this will lay| me out?” “Senator,” replied the medico, “from the reports I have heard about you, we couldn't lay you out| with an ax.” GILLETTE BOWS OUT Colleagues of Towa’s statesman- like Senator Guy Gillette, Democrat, say they have been unable to per- suade him to run for re-election| next year. He will how out of Con- gress definitely in 1944. Gillette has been awfully right! on a great many things, including| lous pooling of synthetic rubber: in Standard Oil's. petroleum patent, instead of Gillette’s proposed alco-| hel process, which turned out much | better. However, the versatile Towa Dem~ ocrat tells friends that he is tired and depressed at constantly buck- ing the stone wall of partisan poli- tics and will retire to his Towa farm and law practice. One decid- will' have been in positions of trust, building every day for the future of the commercial companies.

Another unfair fact which Army | pilots point to is that the commer- cial companies operate the big tour-‘ motored jobs, while the Army takes over the twin-motor planes. With the two motors, if one motor gives, out, it’s usually curtains. But the civilian pilots with four-motored bombers handle big reserves of gas- | oline and have a much higher safz- ty factor.

In his message to Congress this day, President Coolidge made an address stating that “if our Alaskan friends were to be saved from de- struction, there must be further investigation and the declaring of a general policy and delegating of authority to make rules and regulations to an administrative body.” Charles Otteson, President of the Alaska-Dano Mining Company at Funter Bay, returned on the Alameda from a hurried trip to Seattle on business. While in Seattle, Mr. Otteson made satisfactory arrangements for the purchase of machinery and for the continuing development work on the company’s property Keeping up the reputation established on Thanksgiving Day eve, when a Musicians’ Dance was given, the Coliseum Orchestra announced at the A.
