I DENVER, Oct. 11.—(AP)—Clar
| ence Werthan, secretary of the
! Rocky Mountain Tourist, inc.,
which is affiliated with the
American Automobile Association,
| safd today that he was advised
in Washington recently that army
planes will cease maintaing the
Alaska Canadian Military High
I way after October 15th, and turn
it over to Canada.
He said that this organization
asked the government officials
not to drop it like a hot potato,
but to arrange to study possibili
ties of keeping it open in a modest j
and econimical way.
It is believed that Canada does
not wish to keep and maintain it
with Canadian funds and they are
needed elsewhere in the Dominion
From the aspject of immediate
wartime necessity there are
strong arguments in support of
the belief.
