In Alaska we have heard much criticism of the Civil Aeronautics Board from non-scheduled air car- riers. The Board is required by Congress to certificate air carriers to operate scheduled and non-scheduled routes with sufficient frequency to adequately werve the needs of the domestic economy, postal service and national defense. The decisions of the Board regarding Alaska car- riers show that it favors competition and will certi- ficate two or more carriers for scheduled or non- scheduled service, IF the volume of traffic is suffi- cient so that the revenue from a route will support efficient, safe and economical transportation by more than one carrier. The same policy has been adopted throughout the United States in dealing with carriers by rail and motor coach under similar statutes and similar regulatory bodies. It is the American system of confining the traffic to one carrier, or to a very few, until they have developed a volume which permits low faves, frequent service, and modern, reliable equip- ment. have competition which in any event must be limited to an amount which will not destroy the service then being provided. The non-scheduled air carriers, operating some- times with no authority and often in excess of their authority as to frequency, have utilized cheap war- surplus equipment and a readily available pool of air and ground persunnvl trained by the Navy and Air Then, and only then, can the public afford to | Force to get started without adequate finaneing. They are unable to comply with the requirements'df financial responsibility, preventive maintenance, inspection, ac- counting and the innumerable other requirements necessary to operate safely, efficiently and economi- cally. We concur in the Civil Aeronautics Board policy of first requiring adequate service for the economic, postal and defense needs of Alaska and then requiring at the lowest fares which will give the investment and suf- this service operators a fair return on their ficient incentive to meet the challenge of an expanding industry, We also concur in its policy of permitting competition only when the volume of traffic will permit two or more carriers to give such service at such reasonable fares. Some busine: s, such as our local telephone, water and electric utilities, must remain non-competitive. It is the duty of the Civil Aeronautics Board to see that non-competitive carriers do furnish adequate service and at reasonable rates. We believe the Civil Aero- nautics Board has performed this job very well. It has been hampered, however, by public opinion, which in some places has demanded that there be unlimited competition. They have seen fly-by-night operators come to Alaska with freight and passenger fares, if and when they fly, at rates half as much as wre charged by the certificated carriers. These non- certificated carriers are generally spending their stock- holders' money in operating expenses, running up bills for labor, rent, taxes, etc., which they cannot pay, carrying no insurance and withdrawing from Alaska in the winter when revenues fall off. What would be the quality and frequency of our winter service if we had only non-scheduled carrieds? What will hap- pen to our dependable and reliable carriers if this competition continues? The Civil Aeronautics Board seems reluctant to stop. them, but many of them have withdrawn in bankruptey or forced liquidation. Who is paying the loss incurred by Alaska Airlines in taking a load of passengers round-trip to Wash- ington, D. C., for $125.00 so they could testify at the Statehood hearings? The C.A.B. is not paying the loss as all costs for such non-scheduled operations are excluded in computing its mail pay. The stockholders who are foolish enough to allow such nonsense, its creditors in Alaska, and the general public, one way or another, will be stuck. The Territorial Treasurer is already on the hook for $22,000 in Veterans’ Taxes since June 30, 1948, on which Stanley McCutcheon, of Alaska Airlines, has sent “a token payment” after being threatened by the Attorney General of Alaska with a suit. No air line can pay its bills by charging one-fourth of the regular fare. Much of this unjustified criticism of the Civil Aeronautics Board is promoted, encouraged and manu- factuerd by the Alaska Development Board and its member, Herbert Hilscher, who is employed as a public relations man by non-scheduled air carriers. Was the Alaska Development Board created for the benefit of its members? It should be working for the future development of Alaska through safe, reliable, frequent and cheap air transportation.

Louise Gahen and that you had registered under the name Bernard Apologists for'‘Budenz minimize this on the ground that Budenz now reformed. Nevertheless, untruthful statements made re- garding his past and refusal to answer questions have a bearing upon Budenz’' credibility. has Budenz’ Own Statements In Who's Who for 1948-49, Bu- denz states in his own self- penned biography “that he married Marga ret D. Rogers on Aug. 25, 1933.; Yet testifying under oath in the deportation case of Communist John Santo in September 1947, Bu- denz stated that he did not obtain a divorce from Gizella Budenz, his first wife, until 1938. Furthermore, he didn’t take the trouble to marry Margaret Rogers legally until 19 Apparently Budenz got worried about his own false statement in Who's Who for 1949, because, in Who's Who for 1950, he merely stated “married Margaret D. Rog- ers,” and omitted the date. Apologists for Budenz also say that he began living with Mayg ret Rogers in 1933 while still mar- ried to Gizella Budenz because un- der the Communist creed it didn't make any difference. Actually, however, he did not become a Communist until 1935, two years after he began living with Miss| Rogers. Also it's difficult to understand why Budenz did not legalize his relationship with Miss Roge mediately after his divorce in 1938. Instead he waited seven years, un- til 1945, during which three child- ren were born out of wedlcok. These and other facts about the, most important witness to appear beiore a Senate committee in years, were brought out under oath du ing the deportation of an alleged Communist, John Santo, at which Budenz was a Government witness The. transcript is a public record of the U. S. Immigration Bureau and is also in the hands of the Senate committee. Here are per- tinent excerpts, with the cross amination by Harry Sacher, attor- ney for Communist Santo. In fair- ness to Budenz, it should be noted that Sacher has represented var- jous Communists apd naturally wanted to be as rough as possible on the witnese, The Budenz Record Sacher: I ask you what is the time that you refer to when you say here: “It was at that time that I met Margare. and we became hus- band and wife?” What year was that? Budenz: That was in 1933, but we were not married technically Sacher: Wait a minute. Next s im-| Budenz: We were married at Terre Haute, Indiana. Sacher: And did you remain married to Gizella until she ob- tained a divorce from you on the ground that you deserted her and failed to support her in the year because you got the idea from Bernardsville? Budenz: No, sir, Sacher: with Louise at the Great Northern, isn't that right? 1938 Budenz: I refuse to answer that Budenz: On the technical grou-idquestion .. . . s 0 Aaaattion Sacher: Did you spend time with Louise in Stamford, Connecticut?
