Guarantee against the recurrence of delays in rushing relief to stricken people of Alaska was given today by the Post Office Department with the | announcement that next Winter would see an air mall route in operation in that territory. Authorization for the establish- ment of one or more routes has been [gl\'." by Congress, effective July 1 {which means that air mail plan | will be in operation this time next year. Col. Paul Henderson, Second As- sistant Postmaster General, In charge of air mail, said plans now are being worked out for the arctic routes. Decision to establish the air mall In Alaska was reached after the suec- | cessful experiment conducted in| | April of last year by an air mail | pilot and plane in flying from Fair- | |banks to McGrath, a distance of {about 350 miles. McGrath is a little | more than midway between Fair- | banks ana Nome Four dog teams are in constant |operation carrying mail between the | two cities. which requires about two | weeks' hard work. With an air | mail De Haviland, one trip was made {in the morning and the return in| the afternoon.
