TO THE VOTERS OF NOME
AND THE SECOND DIVISION
Due to a death in the family, my presence
| is required in California for the next several
months. I will therefore be unable to return to
my home at Nome in time to actively participate
in the Primary Election of April 30th.
As I again seek reeiection to the House of
Representatives of the Alaska Legisllature, I
again ask your support at the polls. As in the past,
I have no axe to grind, am not beholden to any
| special interests, and will continue, if reelected,
to serve the best interests of the majority of our
people.

PACIFIC ALASKA AIRWAYS
CLEARING THE TRAIL FOR
SIKORSKY FROM SETTLE
WASHINGTON, April 3—CAA
Examiner Frank McIntyre recom
mended approval of the applica
tion of the Pacific Alaska Air
ways, a Pan American Airways
subsidiary, for a new route be
tween Seattle and Juneau with
an intermediate stop at Ketchi
kan. The recommenation is not
final being subject to review bf,
the Authority.
Auke Bay, at the tip of Ju
! neau’s scenic Glacier Highway,
I
will be the morthern terminus of
a six-ancMajne half hour jaunt
by four-motored flying boat out
of Seattle when the long herald
ed Siates-Alaska link becomes
reality sometime next month.
Joe Crosson, manager of Pac
ific Alaska Airways, brought this
information to Fairbanks recent
Jy when he returned to his head
quarters after two months in Cal
ifornia, Washington, D. C., Now
York, and Seattle conferring ov
er the Seattle-Juneau skyway
whose fate is now in the hands
of the Civil Aeronautics Author
ity.
Work Under Way
“Despite the fact no decision
on Pacific Alaska Airways’ applic
ation for the link has been forth
coming, we are going ahead with
all preparations for opening the
new traffic lane,” said Crosson.
This anticipatory action is
based on the favorable reception
and support of the project every
where evident, according to Cros
son.
Giant Sikorsky
Docking facilities and refuel
ing equipment will be placed at
Auke Bay, and similar craft and
passenger necessities are under
installation at Ketchikan to re
ceive the giant quadruplepower
ed S42 Sikorsky which has been
assigned by Pan American Air
ways to the projected Alaska
i type.

Radio Improvements
A large proportion of the $15,
000 PAA communications system
improvements program announc
ed recently by Robert J. Gleason
communications supervi r. is al
so in anticipation of launching
the Sikorsky flights. Gleason him
self is at present in New York in
connection with the radio im
provement work.
Opening of the States-to-Terri
tory route will bring two Alaska |
pilots back to the fold.
These are S. E. Robbins and W.
J. Jones, both formerly with Pac;
ific Alaska Airways, since station
ed more than a year by Pan Am
erican Airways at Miami, flying
the same type of ship assigned to
the Alaska service.
Alaska Pilots
Robbins and Jones will captain
the Sikorsky on its twice-weekly
runs, with Murray Stuart and
Gene Meyring scheduled to fly as
first officers.
Stuart is at present at Treasure j
Island earning the necessary rat
ing to fly the big “boat.” Meyring
his already acquired his certific-j
ate, and is expected to leave the i
Fairbanks to Juneau run about
May 1.
Another upshot of the expand
ing traffic Alaskaward will be
basing of two new transport
ships in the Fairbanks hangar of
Pacific Alaska Airways.
These will be a pair of twin
motored DS2 Douglas planes of 14
passenger capacity. The Lock
heed Electras now in use will be
transferred to the Fairbanks
Nome run, Crosson stated.
Beginning of regular midweek
schedules between Fairbanks and
Juneau is expected about May 1.
CAA Hearings
Crosson divided his time be-,
i
tween Washington, D. C., and
New York City, main headquar
: ters of Pan American Airways,
from February 18 to March 24.
The CAA hearings over the Al
aska application were held in
Washington between February
26 and March 1. Governor Ernest
H. Gruening, Delegate Anthony
J. Dimond and many aviation of
ficials joined Crosson in testify
ing in behalf of the northland
service.
Enroute to Alaska, Crosson at
tended sessions of the Northwest
Aviation Planning Council in
Seattle. Representatives of flying
firms throughout Washington, Or
egon, Idaho and Montant present
at the conference were unimous
in their support of the new Seat
tle-Jueau route, according to
Crosson.
