H. Herold, Cargo Traffic| | Superintendent for the Alaska Re- gion, | A four-engine Douglas DC-4 es- | | pecially equipped for cargo car-| riage will be added to the Alaska fleet, flying from Seattle to Fair- banks, with stops at Juneau and | Ketchikan on demand. Upwards of 400,000 pounds per month can be carried with inaug- uration of this new service, en- abling PAA to keep pace with an ever-increasing demand for clip- per cargo service. The present schedule | flights from Seattle on Tuesdays, { Thursdays, and Saturdays, afford- {ing desirable delivery times for mer- | | chants in Alaska. | i Pan American’s daily cargo ser- | vice will be continued for the car- | | riage of some commodities, such \n.& newspapers, magazines, frui 1\egvmbh*\ flowers, meats and dairy | | preducts.

Widest Selection of LIQUORS !abh‘ to you when you undertook to | clusions drawn by criticize those who have had in your possession copy of . Res. 401, introduced. by me on May 13 and not printed until the following day. So I submit that the editorial con-| you could nol‘ possibly have been based upon examination of the two proposals| “Cynthia,” the current attraction| smerican World Ajrways will in-|now before the Congress. In my statement before the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Special Subcommittee on Alaskan Problems I listed section by section the differences between the resolu- | tions and gave the reasons why I| believe H. J. Res. 401 would do more Res. 396. You may have forgotten | | but others of us have not what hap- | American pened to the Territory after the| enactment of Public Law 12 in 1947.{ Now even the United States Mari- time Commission itself has ac- knowledged that the criticisms made of the administration of that Law have validity. As a representative of the people of Alaska in Congress I propose to use every means within my power to protect the resident population of Alaska so that sub- sidies granted by the Congress of the United States and furnished by the taxpayers of the United States will go for the purpose for “which they are intended—that is, the de- velopment of Alaska, not the de- velopment of the financial well-be- ing of steamshp operators. I am ready and willing to let the public judge whether you were cor- rect in your sweeping endorsement of H. J. Res. 396, or whether the! territorial officials who sought ad-| ditional safeguards for the protec- tion of the people of Alaska were right in the stand they took. They have to determine whether I should have agreed. to H. J. Res. 396 with- out asking any questions at all about it or whether I took the proper | course in introducing another res- olution which had changes we think are essential if the subsidy which) would be provided by the United States Treasury would be sure to assist Alaska, not the ship operators. They will have to determine whether the additional amendments sug- gested to the committee by Gover- | nor Ernest Gruening when he testi- fied yesterday were worthwhile. The | first amendment has to do with the | Territory’s complaint that the sub- | sidy arrangement has been unfairly used to make the consumers of Alaska pay more for freight than they should, while the canneries paid less both for northbound sup- plies and southbond salmon. The amendment in so many words; would stop this. The second amend- | ment would- promote intra-Alaska Lusiness. Governor Gruening point- ed out that a Jocal manufacturer in Alaska now cannot hope to compete successfully with the outside con- cern because of the terrifically high} inter-port rates. The amendment he suggested would bring reality into | this situation, As an example of existing inter-port rates, Governor Gruening pointed out that it now | costs approximately the same amount of money to ship a car from Juneau to Haines as it does for Seattle to Ketchikan. 1t is interesting to note that Con- gressman Henry M .Jackson of the State of Washimgton, whose con-| gressional district included part of Seattle, has likewise expressed his opposition to H. J. Res. 396 Sincerely yours, (signed) E. L.

CONCERTS, JUNEAU A “gift” to Alaska from Seattle | usinessmen commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Alaska Gold Rush {will sail from Seattle June 10. The “gift” will be the University {of Washington Glee Club, 28 strong |under the direction of Prof. Charles {W. Lawrence, which will visit 13 Alaska cities to present perfor- mances. Two performances, both evening shows, are scheduled for Juneau, the {first Sunday, June 13, and the other lon Friday, June 25, A stop also will be made at Juneau the afternoon (of June 15 for connection with the Aleutian enroute to Seward. The Alaska trip will mark the culmination of plans laid by a com- mittee headed by Wallace H. Camp- bell, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, which was named last year by Mayor William F. Devin of Seattle to consider the possibili- ties of a Gold Rush celebration in Seattle. After lengthy consideration, the suggestion for a Seattle observance was abandoned, principally because of the fact that Alaska itself would undoubtedly play a comparatively small part in such a show. The committee, however, con- tinued its efforts and finally settled upon the plan to send the Glee Club north in commemoration of the Gold Rush days and as a salute to Alaskans. M. Dederer, Vice-Pres- ident of the Seattle Chamber, was named head of a group to raise funds, and Seattle businessmen quickly responded with sufficient contributions to underwrite the en- tire tour. Ship, plane and train will be used| in making the long trip. The Glee Club's Alaska mance dates: | Saturday, June 12—Ketchikan (afternoon) .
