NATiUNAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Sourth Avenue Bldg ., Seattle, "Vas. IRREGULAR AIR SERVICE The opinion of Judge Anthony J. Dimond in Pacific Northern Airlines, Inc. vs. Alaska Airlines, Inc., tried at Anchorage, in July has been received by The Empire which reporte d the court's decision on August 10. The court found the treight carrying operations of Alaska Airlines, although partially under contracts with Birch, Johnson and Lytle, between the United States and Alaska were common carrier operations and that he would issue a permanent injunction enjoining Alaska Airlines, Inc. from continuing such operations other than on a casual, infrequent or occasional basis. The contention of the defendant that it was offering services not available from other carriers was rejected on the grounds that only the Civil Aeronautics Board could determine what operations should be permitted under its mandate from Congress to provide for the of adequate economical and efficient service promoti by air carriers at reasonable charges without unjust discrimination, undue preference or advantages, or unfair or competitive practices as required by the needs of air transportation and foreign and domestic commerce. The Civil Aeronautics Board had previously en- joined Alaska Airlinks from engaging in air transpor- tation of persons between Alaska and any place within a radius of 100 miles of Seattle or Portland except on a casual, occasional or infrequent basis under a plan of operation approved in adyance by the CAB. The CAB. had not enjoined Alaska Airlines, Inc. from such operations with respect to freight transportation, but the court found the freight operations also in viola- tion of the Civil Aeronautics Act and the regulations of the Board The effect of this decision and the C.A.B. injunc tion is to limit carriers holding no certificates for | routes between the States and Alaska to flights gen- | erally not exceeding two in any week, with periods of | time of at least a week without any flights, and the | days of arrivals and departures so staggered as not | ‘mum get a Buicl one convicted by | martial.

The court specifically held that so-called charter flights with the carrier retaining control of the opera- tion of the aircraft are not true charters or such as to make the flights privatt carrier operations as dis- tinguished from comnion carrier operations. The court found that any person making numerous charter flights is in effect a common carrier and must be enjoined Truman Assured of Sympathy (Seattle Times) Upon a platform that promises all good things for all men, from Poland and the State of Israel to Alaska, the Virgin Islands and Guam, Harry S.

It was not within the range of possibility for a convention'so rent asunder to give its standard bear- ers a platform which even Democrats everywhere could | enthusiastically endorse. The party’s deepest wounds have not been healed by that resounding document. Delegates from the dissident South sought with- out avail to amend its phraseology on civil rights. That so overwhelming a majority of the convention should have rejected the “States rights” platform the South proposed was a creditable thing, but it will not be regarded thus from the Carolinas westward through the Lone Star State. President Truman has been launched as a candi- date for reelection with almost unprecedented handi- caps. That circumstance should lend color to the campaign that will ensue. His recent tour in the West suggests that his future course will not be with- out its blunders. It will be interesting to see how successful he will be in regaining the prestige of which his own political party has largely robbed him. | Indians as Voters | (New York Times) The decision of the special Federal Court at Santa Fe holding unconstitutiomal New Mexico's restriction | on the right of the Indians to vote removes the last | specific barrier by a State against the right of these native Americans to cast their ballots. The Arizona | Supreme Court on July 15 held unconstitutional the ban by that State against the Indian. There are still many legal discriminations against the Indian in our Western States. He still is treated as an outcast instead of as a descendant of the original inhabitants of this country. But gradually the bar- | riers against him are being knocked down. The re- port of the President's Committee on Civil Rights is reported to have had considerable effect in forcing the matter to an issue in Arizona and New Mexico. The decision at Santa Fe was made on a case | brought before it bv Miguel H. Trujillo, a Marine Corps eteran of the war. That dramatized the issue. Here was a man who had carried out one of the highest | duties of citizenship but who was denied its most prized right because of his race. We do not see how the Court could have reached any other decision than it did. The shame is that it has been so long delayed. k, was the only‘And the top air people are quite the naval court candid about this fact. not an Annapo- | | Furthermore, if the diplomats succeed in raising the Berlin block- |ade, the Air Force does not in- G BLOOD ons only the cost of gasoline and supplies.
