Better Service Wanted
! Matter Of Delays Will Be Tak
en lTp With Governor
And Delegate
—
With some Fairbanksans read
ing airmail letters which came in
from the outside via steamship
to Seward, the mail situation was
still in a mess the other day due
to a combination of bad weather
i V
i and priorities which have para
lyzed the airmail traffic between
Seattle and Fairbanks by Pan
American Airways.
At their joint weekly luncheon
I the Chamber of Commerce and
: Junior Chamber of Commerce!
voted to acquaint Governor
Gruening and Anthony Dimond,
Delegate to Congress, with the
situation—in the hope that some
formula may be W'orked out
! whereby the Army will give
more civilian plane space to c.v
ilian airmail.
Ghezzi Denies Rumor
Meanwhile, Postmaster Alfred
Ghezzi scotched the latest rumor
going around—that no more air 1
mail will be flown into Fairbanks
from Seattle. He said this rumor
was not true, and had evidently
grown out of the fact that some
airmail, three weeks old. reach
ed Fairbanks last Friday—after
going to Seward by ship, and the
rest of the way by train and
plane.
This procedure. Ghezzi said,
due to the fact that weather and
priorities caused much airmail to
pile up in Seattle, but he saw no
reason why regular airmail de-1
liveries would not be resumed
or.ce the back log was cleared
up.
He pointed out that all out
going airmail has left Fairbanks,
and that the main trouble has i
been obtaining space for incom
ing mail.
Over the weekend, the first civ
ilian airmail since September 7th ;
arrived in Fairbanks by Pan Am
erican Airways—but there were
only two sacks of ordinary air
mail in the batch. The rest was
registered mail.
Less Space Available
It -was pointed out elsewhere
that bad flying weather caused j
fewer airmail planes to arrive in ;
the past few' weeks. This meant
less mail space available — and ;
the available space was turned
over to priority mail.
But once the backlog is cleared
up, it was felt that civilian air
mail might be restored to its nor
mal basis.
It was pointed out that civilian
airmail is only a small fraction
of the total, and it should not1
give trouble once planes are j
back on schedule and piled-up
mail has been delivered.
Chamber To Act
The Chamber of Commerce
men named E. B. Collins, chair
man of their Federal Projects
Committee to lay the situation be
fore Gruening and Dimond.
It was pointed out that the
present situation could be cured,,
and be prevented from arising j
again if the army would take up !
some of the slack by sending its
airmail, express and passengers
in army transports whenever
they have spare space
