WEATHER SYNOPSIS AND GENERAL
During the past 24 hours an
area of low barometric pressure
of considtrable intensity has mov
ed northerly from the North Pac
ific and is niw centered in the
Alaska Gulf just south of Anch
orage. The low pressure has
spread out over most of southern
and central Alaska producing a
cyclonic wind circulation with
the resultant over-flowing of
warmer and more moist air on
the eastern side of the disturb
ance. This over-flowing air is
causing cloudiness of varying
heights ov^r central anl south
eastern portions wih precipiation
rain along the coast from Ketchi
kan to Cordova and snow west
ward and over the Interior.
We expect a continued north
eastward movemest of this storm
area which will be favorable for
fair weather although possibly
some high clouds and not much
change in temperature which
changes will be due mostly to
radiational effects.
For the past few days a mag
netic storf has been present in
the atmosphere and probably
reached the peak, of intensity
Sunday and Sunday night. This
magnetic storm greatly impaired
radio reception. The storm is now
slowly diminishing in intensity
and radio reception will improve
slowly.
Suggestions and Criticisms Invited

Alaska Pilot Detained '
At Dawson Airport For
Alleged Illegal Entry
Fairbanks flying officials were
at a loss the other day to explain
the detention in ’‘wartime Can
| ada” of Pilot Dick Hawley.
Within a few hours after the
Pollack Flying Service pilot had
left for Yukon Territory with
Paul Wickstrom aboard as pas
senger. radio messages received
in Fairbanks reported Hawley
was prohibited from taking off
from the Dawson airport by Can
adian authorities.
The message indicated Hawley
i was detained on grounds he
(should have wired to Vancouver.
; B. C„ for a landing permit before
! flying across the international
! border.
Civil Aeronautics Authority In
jspeetor Charles R. Burnett and
Deputy Collector of Customs Geo
1 rge Tuttle in Fairbanks stated
j they were helpless to speed Haw
! ley’s release.
j Both agreed that as far as their
i offices were concerned, the Fair
; banks pilot had complied with
j current Canadian regulatio-ns
j when he cleared through the cus
; tom office here and wired to Daw
i son the time of his projected ar
1 rival.
Confusion over the present stat
us of Alaska-Canadian relations
was quoted as the root of the
Dawson incident.
Inspector Burnett stated he
had recently received a bulletin
setting for the Canadian inter
national flying regulations for the
period of the war. Strict adher
ence to this set of rqles would
obliged any flier whose destina
tion was a point in Canada to
apply for special landing permit
from the nearest Canadian dis
trict superintendent of air reg
ulations.
As the bulletin was not dated,
it was taken for granted by Tut
tle and Burnett that an announc
ed modification of the war reg
julations governing Yukon Terri
l tory last October was still in
| effect.
Both Tuttle and Burnett assert
ed the matter was beyond their
jurisdiction until such time as
(Canadian authorities clarify their
I stand, even though the Alaska
pilot must remain “interned.”
Chief puzzler to local fliers is
the fact that within the past few
weeks three ships have been in
what would appear to be circum

stances parallel to those of Haw
ley’s entry into Canada, and all
were permitted to continue their
flights without detention.
It was understood in Fairbanks
that Hawley has wired from Daw
son to district inspector of air
regulations at Vancouver for the
necessary papers which will per
mil him to return to Alaska.
Frank Pollack, head of the line
for which Hawley flies, also
sought explanation from Canad
ian authorities.
“Interned” one day and two
nights in “warring” Canadian
territory Pilot Dick Hawley ar
rived in Fairbanks the afternoon
of March 21st.
His detention in Dawson by
Canadian authorities was describ
ed by the Pollack Flying Service
aviator as a “precautionary move
on the part of J O Williams, cus
toms official because of lack of
specific instructions.”

SMALLPOX VACCINATIONS
TO BE GIVEN
| In accord with the contr 1 of
Communicable disease program of
fpred by the Nome Department
of Health Dr. Morcom will vac
cinate infants, preschool children
and school children for smallpox,
(Thursday, March 28, 9:30 to 12
; a.m. at the Territorial school
j building. Infants should be vac
cinated by the time they have
I reached the age of 6 m nths and
! a revaccination cn entering
school is advisable since one vac
cination may not make an indiv
idual immune to smallpox for
! life. There are a few school child
ren who have not yet been pro
1 tected against smallpox and it is
hoped that parents will cooperate
by having them vaccinated at
this time.

PAA PILOT SEEKS
ADVANCED CAA RATING
Pilot Murray Stuart of Pacific
Alaska Airways was enroute to
Seattle recently from where he
will travel to San Francisco for
training for an advanced rating.
Stuart’s schooling in San Fran
cisco is in anticipation of the use

Civil Aeronautics Authority thru
out the Territory of Alaska. Stu
art is expected to be Outside for
about two months.
Special ratings are required by
the CAA for a pilot intending to
“fly blind” on the “beam.” At
