Since the-General Election in’ Alaska on October 12, newsmen in Alaska have been right on the job day and night getting the tabulating returns and send - ing them to the Associated Press office in Seattle where Murlin Spencer and his unbeatable staff has assembled them from the various divisions, made most readable stories with figures, hit the wires for coverage throughout the States, besides coverage for the eleven clients of the Associated Pr in Alaska. Good cov- erage, if we do say it ourselves, from both ends of the string. Tomorrow and Wednesday and the several days following, hundreds of newsmen in the States will assemble the returns, tabulate them and make reports to the Alaska newspapers member that because of large staffs you will not all be R Wings of Mercy (Washington Post) For about two weeks a program of evacuating Berliners on returning airlift planes has been going on secretly, it is now disclosed. But do not jump to the conclusion that this proves the military authorities think an outbreak of war is imminent. The explana- tion is much simpler and warmer. The passengers, now going at the rate of 80 a day, are children. Under sponsorship of the Berlin Social Welfare De- partment, youngsters of delicate health are being | taken to stay the winter with friends and relatives | in the western zones. Some thousand have already | made the trip, and it is hoped that a number of aged and invalids can also be brought out. ALASKA THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU {20 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 1, 1928 Henry Stevens, James Stevens, Jimmie Fox were chosen as the Alaska i Native Brotherhood delegates to the Grand Camp at Sitka. There was from THE EMPIRE NOVEMBER 1 Earle L. Hunter II J. Bert Caro Joann Gay Erbland Infez Keister C. J. Bailey delegates. Citizenship night school was to begin on November 12. R. H. Raven, Principal of the Juneau High School, was to be director. The capacity of the airlift to carry the supply load into Berlin through the winter months is a moot | question, of course, despite official confidence. ! good deal depends on weather conditions, over which General Clay has no authority. But even complete success of the winter airlift will not mean comfortable living in the western sectors of Berlin. Food and fuel may be adequate, but they will not be abundant, and the rigors of the Berlin climate will fall most sharply fon those least able to resist. The evacuation of a few thousand individuals will not, perhaps, appreciably increase the rations of those who are left. But it will help assure that sickness and physical helplessness will not become servants of the Soviet campaign of starvation. | (New York Times) | New light is thrown on the remarkable extent to {which our economy is a “rolling” economy by the latest issue of Automobile Facts and . Figures, made public by the Automobile Manufacturers Association. | 1t shows, for example, that 90 per cent of all cities and towns having local passenger transportation sys- tems are now served by bu only. Tucked away in the many tables of statistics are other rather sur- prising facts like these: More than 79,000 station wagons were built in the United States in 1947 as compared with fewer than 30,000 in 1946. Production of motor coaches went from 10,000 in 1946 to 19,000 last vear. Even Diesel engine trucks have shown a marked gain with more than 6,000 manufactured last year. But our motor fleet is growing older. The |average age of cars in use at the end of last year was 89 years and of trucks 8.1 vears. Before the var, average for all vehicles was 56 years. Today more than 42 per cent of cars and more than 37 per cent of trucks in use are ten years old or older. It would be hard to find a more cogent argument for |the necessity of careful driving. Registration for passenger cars gained most heavily on the Pacific Coast 'and in the Southern States in 1947, while greatest truck gains were reg- istered in California and Pennsylvania.
