Moscow advices described engage- ments between King Mihai's army |against the Nazi rear guards while |the Russian troops drove swiftly through the wheat and oil empire to within 35 miles of the strategic |Galati Gap. Russia, according to official ad- vices received here, has informed {the Rumanian Government the |only way to win an armistice with |the Allies is by ordering the Ru-| |manian troops to fight “hand in |hand with the Red Army.” TRAVEL OF ALASKANS " PROVING T0O HEAVY | PAA, CPR FACILITIES ! Lifting of priorities and travel| restrictions has started Alaskans | taking their belated trips, accord- | ing to Harry Godson of the Can-| adian Pacific, and Ray Harrington | of the Pan American World Air- |ways, both of whom are swamped those seeking accommodations. | “There are several hundred peo- | ple in town, at the present time, who are trying to leave the city |by plane or boat,” Mr. Godson re- | |ported, and adds that he can take| {no further reservations until at| |least the middle of September. | | “What most people do not real- |ize,” says Mr. Harrington, “is that priorities are still issued to persons! |directly connected with the war| leffort, including service personnel| on orders and civilians who hold war contracts. These priorities | must be recognized, as we are op-| erating under the same conditions | \as other commercial airlines in the | |States. We still have the same | number of planes that we had| when priorities were required from | all passengers, and we can carry no! more now than at that time.” | Not all of the heavy traffic is! |due to Alaskans, of course. Con- | [structions workers, officials, and| visitors from the States are con-| Istantly in transit throughout the Territory. Cannery workers are {returning to their homes, also, at this particular time of the year,| land many are going outside to| lattend school. All of this is put-| ting a heavy burden on transpor- | tation facilities. |TWO FLIGHTS TODAY | FOR ALASKA COASTAL A trip to Ketchikan this after-! 'ngon by an Alaska Coastal plane |carried Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wychoff, Emil Ewold, S. M. Wilson, Jes: |Tate, and J. E. Concannon to that |city, while a second flight was made to Sitka with E. Morgan| Holmes, J. W. Roberts, and J. B.| Heath.

TAKU RADIO OPERATOR AND WIFE IN JUNEAU Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Sterns have arrived here from Taku Pass, where Sterns is operator at the PAA radio and weather reporting station. They will return home in about a week and, when the river freezes, will be completely isolated until May, “Our house is situated high on a hill,” Mr. Sterns reports, “and we have a magnificent view of the sur- rounding country. The fishing is excellent and there are lots of bear, moose, and other wild game. “The climate is comparatively mild; 17 below is the coldest I have experienced there. The snow gets very deep, and we must wear snow- shoes and use dog sleds for travel. “A plane cannot land near the station, but once last winter one flew overhead and dropped a sack of mail, our only contact with the world for six months. “The Rev. Hubbard has been spending some time at Taku River and never fails to stop 1n for a visit when he passes. “Our home is only two miles from the Canadian rtnrdcr, the last place |by ciry " FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1944 5 Ftlts 3 X 7 OUT VIA WOODL! | Chairman but he couldn’t say what of human habitation on this side | Mr. Sterns returns to his duties, fm.“his SBAtis would be when e el of the line.” it will be under their direction.
