PAN AM CELEBRATES The month of April, 193515 years ago—was an important one in the history of air transportation in Alaska. It was then that Pan American inaugurated the Territory’s first regular, scheduled airline service with twice-weekly “timetable flights” between Juneau and Fairbanks via Whitehorse. It’s easy for us to forget that Pan American has been building up the Alaska service for 18 years—15 years of scheduled operations and three previous years of exploration, planning and pioneering. Fifteen years is net a long time, calendar-wise— but 15 years is a long time in an industry that moves Vice-President | has kept abreast of progress in providing Juneau with | | air transportation. Fares have been reduced from 20 | cents a mile to approximately eight cents a m.ln.} Clipper cargo rates ve come down steadily through the years. Newer and better equipment has been | introduced — from the Electras and the old “Baby Clipper” flying boats and the Lodestars through the hard-working DC-3s to the giant, four-engined DC-4s of today. Schedules have been speeded. Daily service | to and from Seattle is routine. On-time performance is always subject to the vagaries of Alaskan weather and the inadequacy of a short runway at Juneau. And Pan Am’s operations are governed by strict and inflexible safety standards. Nevertheless, the great majority of arrivals and de- partures at the Juneau airport during the past year “right on the button.” Altogether, a commendable record. Furthermore, Pan American is neither standing still nor trying to on past laurels. We can look forward to the same kind of improvement and progress in the next ‘15 years that we have possibly taken too much for jgmmf‘d in the past 15. were rest j NO! | With his unerring penchant for carrying union | prerogatives to the limit of absurdity, James Petrillo, | czar of the American Federation of Musicians, now | insists that when college bands play at basketball | games in New York City they must be members of his union. Since this would involve some slight incon- venience (to say nothing of expense) the effect of his | requirement is that when a college or university has a team playing in Madison Square Garden, it leaves its band behind and hires a group of dues-paying AFM members to play the old alma mater tunes if it wants them played. In a sense, this tops Petrillo’s edict against high school orchestras being permitted to play radio con- certs. For, it might have more dramatic consequences. The Philadelphia Inquirer, for instance, envisions the day when union bands at the basketball games will | play the college alma mater songs with professional ! dispatch, and then take to the court in between halves tospell out PETRILLO. | It would be gaudy.

Specifically he persuaded the living Buddha of Mongolia, spiritual leader for Buddhists throughout the Far East, to come to the United States, and he has been residing near Baltimore for more than a year under Lattimore’s tutelege and protection. One of the first moves of Soviet leadérs when they-gon= solidated their hold on Mongolia was to oust the living Buddha, whose spiritual hold on Buddhists is nof unlike that of the Pope’s on the Catholic world. The Soviet, as an enemy of all religions, natur- ally feared the living Buddha’s influence. At that time Dilowa, as the living Buddha is called, was offered a haven by the Dali.Lama of Tibet, but finally accepted Owen Latti- more’s invitation to come to Balti- more instead. Lattimore’s Record Lattimore was, born in Washing- ton, D. C., is 50 years old, married Eleanor Holgate, was engaged In newspaper work and business in Shanghai and Tientsin for many years, and has spent a good part of his life in the Far East. In 1941 he became the political adviser to Generalissimo ~ Chiang kai-Shek, leaving that post in 1942 to join the Office of War Information as deputy director of Pacific Opera- tions. Lattimore also served as ad- viser to General Marshall for a time. He has not, however, been connected with the State Depart- ment for the past five years. Lattimore is considered the out- standing American authority on China and adjacent areas. He has written numerous books, including “The Desert Road to Turkestan,” “High Tartary,” “Manchuria, Cradle of Conflict,” “The Mongols of Man- churia,” “Inner Asian Frontiers of China,” “Mongol Journeys” and “Solution in Asia.” FBI files on Lattimore give him complete clearance regarding any Communist activities and contain only some critical him by Albert Kohlberg, an Ameri- can lace merchant who made var- jous deals with the Chiang Kkai- Shek dynasty and has become a multimillionaire. Kohlberg and Lat- timore at one time both belonged to the Institute of Pacific Relations later dominated by Frederick Field the American Communist. Many prominent Americans, however, Jjoined the Institute in its earlier stages, prior to the Communist in- fluence. Anti-Communist We.x Not only has Lattimore helped anti-Communist influences in the Far East through the living Bud- dha but he also brought two Mon- gol Princes and their families to the United States after a price was put on their heads by the Com- munists. The two Princes have been living in Baltimore with their wiv- es and children, waiting for the day they can go back and ury to rescue their country. Indicative of the confidence which the anti-Communist Mongols have placed on Lattimore is the fact that twe of their children, born in this country, have been named Illl Lattimore and his wife. references to| ' and progress, reached a new high. It mu‘ be recalled that chief Communist inroads in China were originally made by bringing younger Chinese | to Moscow for training. This is the pattern—in reverse—which Lat- timore has followed among anti- Communist orientals at his Walter Hines Page School at Johns Hop- kins. | United Nations diplomats consider i Lattimore’s present mission to Af- ghanistan one of most importance in the cold war. Situated on the border between Indian and Russia, Afghanistan was long considergd a key country by the British For- eign office, which demanded that Russian influence be kept out. The Lattimore mission is for the pur- pose of bolstering Afghanistan’s cconomy «t0 keep it from falling under MOSCOW’S power. Trouble in Ecuador On top of the recent earthquake, the worst floods in Ecuador’s mod- ern history have now eclipsed the political crisis which had reached serious proportions in that coun- try. Weeks of torrential rains swelled | the turbulent Chanchan River, sweeping away scores of houses, half a dozen railroad bridges, and cutting the vital railway link be- tween Quito and Guayaquil. This | brought chaos to the nation’s in- ternal economy. Ecuador, a land of widely varied climate and topography, is wholly dependent on the exchange of food- stuffs between the coast and the mountain upland. And the Quito- Guayaquil railway, which twists its way spectacularly from a 9,- 300-foot altitude to sea level, in just over 400 miles, is the only. reliable transportation medium ov- or this route from December to June. A road exists but is otten impassable during the long rainy season. Now, however, with an estimated two months' work required before the railroad can be used again, the -hard-pressed Ecuadorian gov- ernment has no choice but to at- tempt the use of truck convoys to move indispensable supplies. American-educated President Galo Plaza has tackled the job with commendable energy and speed; but this new problem will prob-: ably make his administration's fight for survival tougher than ever. Politics Surges In recent months, political agi- ltation in Ecuador achieved critical (proportions. Attacks on almost ev- |ery government policy by leftist| | parties—Communists, Socialists and radidal liberals—became a daily | | occurrence. At the same time, sec- tional rivalry between the coastal and mountain regions, always an obstacle to the nation’s stability Popular sentiment continues largely favorable to the Democratic, businesslike plaza regime; but that is not necessarily the key factor in a country where political and mili- tary conspirators have ovesthrown every President but one in the last 20 years (Ecuador has had 16 chief executives since 1930). present, the main efforts of those seeking to plot a coup—pri- marily, the Socialist-Radical Liberal coalition—are directed toward gain- ing army support. Ecuadorian mili- tary men, traditionaily anticleri- aal, are being told that Galo Plaza's impartial policies will pave the for the Catholic Church to seize power, through the Con- servative Party, unless the “Lib-{ eral” elements move first. It remains to be seen how much a revolution. e gn ‘*——!Lnst publication, April 8, 1950. effect these arguments may have ) The President can count on un- questioned personal loyalty from a majority of top-rank army of- ficers, ‘'but that might not be enough if a large number of men {in the lower echelons turned against him. Just before the floods, one high public official, a firm supporter of Plaza, summed the situation up in these words: “There’s no question that ren]l drisis exists. Unfortunately, the revolutionary precendent is so strongly established here, and the mechanics of carrying it out are so well known, you can never be sure what may happen.” Meanwhile, at least for the mo- ment, Ecuador is once again too bugy“trying to cope sith -nature's cruel pranks to take time out for NOTICE OF MARSHAL'S SALE OF REAL PROPERTY PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that by virtue of an Execu- tion dated March 14, 1950, issued out of the District Court for the THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA APRIL 1 Dr. L.
