FIXED RATES FAVORED
BY AIR OPERATORS
Filing of tariffs and adherence:
to established rates for all traffic
were favored by two air firm op-1
erators whose testimony has
; gone into records of the Civil
i Aeronautics Board special exam
iner in Fairbanks.
William Munz, Taylor pdot, &
Mrs. Madeline Mirow Moore, of]
■ the Mirow Air Service in Nome. |
i both voiced their approvol of ob
| servance of fixed tariffs.
Munz completed his tetimony.'
Mrs. Moore, Sigurd Wien, manag
er of Mirow Air Service, and Le
Roy Sulivan, Nome attorney ap
peared for the Mirow company
before Examiner Raymond W.
■ Stough and CAB Attorney W. J.
Madden last week.
i “Natural Route” Suggestion I
! Mrs. Moore also suggested the
■ issuance of certificates to Alaska
: aviation firms for “natural rout
es” which would in no way re
strict movements on special char
I ter flights.
The stand that Alaska is still
| in the frontier stage and present
economic regulations of the Civil
Aeronautics Act are not readily
applicable to conditions in the!
north was taken by C. C. Tanner
who testified as “a resident and
citizen of Nome.”
Free Operation Urged
Tanner urged that aviation op
erations in Alaska be permitted
to continue unrestricted.
Later Tanner appeared as at
torney for Munz.

ALASKA MINERS URGED
TO ASK FOR PRIORITY
The fact that all mining opera
tors in Alaska who will need re
placements of equipment or
spare parts should obtain prior-1
ity ratings from the federal divi
sion of priorites was forcibly
brought to the attention of the
industry at a regular meeting of
the Alaska Miners’ Association,
in Fairbanks last week.
Sixteen members of the asso-;
ciation, including officials and op[
orators were present among them;
operators from widely scattered i
mining camps from Goodnews to
Nome and from Fortymile to the
Koyukuk.
Liklihood of operators finding
themselves without means of ob
taining replacements or spare
parts unless precautionary steps
are now taken was pointed out,
and a copy of the form which
must be filled out and filed in or
der to obtain a rating was pre
sented for perusal. It was decid
ed to get out a circular, to be
distributed among all operators,
large and small, advising them
how to proceed to obtain rat
ings and urging immediate at
tention to the matter.
All applications for priority rat
ings should be forwarded to the
Maintenance nad Repairs Divi
sion of Priorities, at 462 Indiana
Avenue, N. W., Washington, D.C.
Thrt unique and humorous
and typical Alaskan stationery—
“Sourdough Roadhouse Letter
heads and Envelopes”, have beer
