Letter From
Press Agent Lor
Alaska Queens
Enroute West again
July 1 1940
Dear Alaska:
New York was a breathless
week, dizzy, delightful, dashing
at least one-third of the time
spent in going from one place
to another. We enjoyed fifteen
minutes with Mrs. Roosevet. She
regreted that she would be un
able to make a trip to Alaska
this summer because of the war
situation.
Another highlight of New
York was Alaska Day, June 27,
at the World's Fair. Delegate Di
mond became tied up in a de
fense committee meeting and
was unable to fly up as he had
panned. Mr. J. C. Gaffney of
Hotel Ten Park Avenue where
we were complemented guests,
efficiently made arrangements
and rounded up a grand assort
ment of Alaskans of all vintages
including Rex Beach, Flying Bari
tone Bob Crawford; Mr. and Mrs.
MacDonald; Simeon Oliver, Mrs.
Sheldon; Cash Cole; Mr. Clauson
Mrs. Gaffney, Mrs. Flora White,
sister of Mr. MacDonald; and
many others.
General Dennis Nolan, repre
senting the United States at the
Fair, greeted us and presided at
a luncheon in Perylon Hall. Mrs.
Nolan recalled that years ago she
was at Haines, Alaska. Bob Craw
ford, formerly of Fairbanks, sang
some good Alaskan songs of his
own composition; Mr. Oliver
played his piano compositions.
Miss Alaska and Miss Nome were
introduced.
In the midde of all this I was
additionally thrilled when an
overseas call came through from
Bolivia, S. A. for me. .
The girls met Mayor LaGuard
ia and were photographed with
him. A reception was held at the
Washington State Building with
Harold Crampton in charge. Re
treat took place in the Court of
Peace with the Stars and Stripes
and the Alaska flag lowered to
gether. Following a radio inter
view we returned to our hotel.
Through courtesy of Chevrolet
Motors, there has been a car and
driver for the party available
wherever we stop.
Margaret Scott met Katherine
Hansen, formerly of Nome, but
now in ballet work in New York.
It has been twelve years since
the girls saw each other.
Through Mildred Maynard of
Nome, Charles Rochester invited
Margaret & her friends (Minnie
and I) to dinner in the Hawaiian
Room at 'the Lexington Hotel,
presented us with gardenia leis,
tok pictures of the girls with
Hawaiian dancers there. He then
took us backstage at Olson and
Johnson’s comedy “Helzapoppin.”
We saw the show and were intro
duced from the stage by Olson
and later photographed with the
pair.
While I saw Bob Davis, well
known to fiction writers, Sumner
Blossom of American and others,
Mrs. Gaffney took the queens to
“Gone With the Wind,” Radio
City Music Hall, Waldorf, night
clubs, shops to see the SS Queen
Elizabeth, SS Normandie and
many other places. Mr. Gaffney
secured tickets for Major Bowes’
show and the girls were photo
graphed with him.
J. J. McCarthy of Anchorage
escaped intact from the Repub
lican convention a't Philadelphia
and took Minnie and Margaret
to the Fair. They all had a grand
time and Mac gave a farewell
dinner for us the night we left.
While visiting Bob and Besse
Crawford and the little Craw
fords at Greenwich, Conn., I
learned that Bob plans a con
cert and teaching tour of Alaska
for next summer.
Rex Beach claims Bob Reeve
of Valdez is the word’s worst
correspondent. How about it,
Bob?
(Bob?) Robertson (attorney)
Juneau, crossed trails with us. It
is aways good to see fellow-Al
askans. So many things have hap
pened, we can’t think of them
all but our hearts are still in the
Northland. See you next week.
Sincerely,
Kay J. Kennedy.
... so is it the desire of the Alaska Steamship Company to fit its
service to the seasonal needs of Alaska tiaffic. Extra service when it is
needed during the short peak season combined with dependable year
’round sailings to Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska never less
than once a week—this has long been the policy of The Alaska Line,
and will continue to be.

ALASKA LINE PROBLEMS
RECOUNTED BY GENERAL
MANAGER, RATE HEARING
—
j SEATTLE, July 10 </P) — In
the testimony given before the
rate hearings of the Maritime
Commission, L. W. Baker, man
ager of the Alaska Steamship Co.
described labor difficulties of Al
aska Line vessels since the ma
, rine strike of 1934 and said the
difficulties have grown more j
acute since 1938 when cannery
employees came under unions
domination.
Baker said “before 1938 when
' our cargo was loaded by Union
Longshoremen and handled by
Union crew men in Seatte we
were fairly certain the cargo,
would be discharged without
difficulty. Now, we never know
whether we will be able to dis-1
charge- cargo when it arrives at |
cannery ports in the Territory.”
Illustrating the difficulties of
cannery the labor situation has!
brought about, Baker said the
SS Dell wood had to return to
Seattle with 1,200 tons of cargo
it could not unload because
union crew members refused to
pass picket lines of cannery strik
ers.
Baker added that the Dellwood.
is now in Woman’s Bay. on Ko
diak Island, awaiting settlement
of labor disputes at five Kodiak
Island cannery ports.
