HE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” ] VOL. LXVL, NO. 10,107 JUNEAU, ALASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1945 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ALLIES WATCHING RESURGENT JAPANESE DIRECT ROUTE FROM ALASKA T0 EAST, PLEA Chicago, New York Pro- posed as Co-terminals by Three at CAB Hearing WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—The In- t or Department, the Port of New York Authority and the City cf Fairbanks, Alaska, have en- dorsed a direct air route from Al- aska to the industrial east stablishment of such with Chicago and New Yor! s the co-terminals in the United States, has been recommended by an ex- aminer for the Civil Aeronautics Board. Arguments on this recom- mendation, and on applications of | others for Alaskan and Pacific air lines, are being heard by the board. Wilbur La Roe, Jr., representing the New York Port Authority, argued that route from the eastern United States to the Orient should be as direct as conditions permit. The most direct route, he said, would run near the North Pole, but the most feasible one would cross Alaska into Siberia. By-Passes Seattle La Roe and Norman C. Stines, a mining engineer representing Fairbanks, asserted that a route from Chicago and New York to Alaska by way of Seattle would be very circuitous. “Seattle is no longer the sole gateway to Alaska,” Stines insisted. He added that flying conditions across Canada will be immeasur- ably better than from Seattle up the west coast. Shirley Bosky, attorney for the Interior Department, spoke strong- ly for a Chicago-to-Alaska air leg for the benefit of tourists. Such an| airline, she said, would make the territory easily accessible to almost everyone in the United States. Protest Alaska Airlines i A recommendation of the CAB| examiner for certification of Al-! aska Airlines to operate a route between Seattle and Anchorage, Alaska, was protested by John S Wynne, representing a group of; small Alaska air lines. | Wynne asserted that Alaska Air-, lines routes now parallel about 90| per cent of those of all other car- | riers in the territory, and that the added advantages of a link with the United States and mail con- tracts would place it in too strong | a competitive position. “The board should take a second | Continued on Page Five) The Washington' Merry - Go-Round By DFFW_PEARSON WASHINGTON-Inside the closed door sessions of the Allied Eco-| nomic Directorate in Berlin history | seems to be repeating itself. i It was Britain’s defense of Ger- many after the last war which| a route, i i | FOURSUPERS (China Troops MAKE FLIGHT Are Landing Fly Over Great Circle Route | Reoctupyin*giAfeas Wrest- ~Weather “Terrible” | ed by Japanese-Com- ~Takeoff in Rain | By BULLETIN — CHUNGKING, Nov. 2.—Twenty theusand Chin- ese Communists led by one of their top generals are besieging Kweisui, capital of rich Suiyuan Province in inner Mongolia, Chinese dispatches reported to- day.
