WESTERN AIRLINES PLAN
NEW ROUTE TO TERRITORY
Planning three round trips
weekly from the States to Al
aska in 21-passenger Douglas
Dc-3’s, Western Airlines, Wednes
day had two men in Juneau re
turning to their headquarters in
San Diego after spending two
weeks in the Territory making a
survey of the proposed route
which starts from Lethbridge,
Alberta, a few miles south of Cal
gary.
First Vice-President Leo H,
Dwerlkotte and Thomas Wolfe,
Vice-President in traffic, stud
ied flying conditions and made
! plans for the route, still in tenta
ive formation. The present line
of flight will take the main route
through Whitehorse, Fairbanks
and Nome, with a spur run from
Fairbanks to Anchorage, but the
two officials pointed out that the
plans may be changed.
No Competition to PAA
“We shall not be operating a
competitive route to any other
existing airline,” said Vice-Presi
dent Wolfe. “We shall be merely
establishing an alternate route
in case weather is such the Coast
route is inadvisable or just the
other way around. And, too, we
will be taking care of additional
trade and serving a different
j area.”
“With the Russian situation
the way it is,” added Dwerlkotte,
I "another route to the Territory
j will be an addition to national de
i fense. There is a tremendously
heavy flow of military personnel,
supplies and materials, coming
from the States.”
The route will carry passen
gers to Lethbridge, Alberta from
Fairbanks in 12 hours, from
Nome to Lethbridge in 17 hours;
cruising at 200 miles an hour.
CAB Permission
j They said the establishment of
j the proposed route depends on
the CAB’s granting to Western
Airlines of a certificate of con
venience and necessity, already
! requested by the company.
Officers of the compan are Wil
I liam A. Coulter, president; Leo
H. Dwerlkotte, first vice-presin
I dent; C. N. James, vice-president
| of operations; Thomas Wolfe,
| vice-president of traffic. Head
quarters are Los Angeles, mak
ing Western Air the only major
airlines with its main offices west
of the Rockies.
Irving Reed, Mineral Surveyor
for the General Land Office, and
old-timer of Nome, and his son
Irving, Jr., arrived Wedensday
afternoon via Wien Airways. Mr.
Reed is surveying for patent,
some claims of the U S S R & M
Co. and hopes to obtain other
patent survey work while here.
He will be in Nome for about
45 days.
