Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
I
The regular meeting of the
803rd of Directors of the North-,
western Alaska Chamber of Com
merce was held at the Nevada,
Gri'l Tuesday noon. A summary
if the minutes of the meeting
was submitted by Secretary A.
Polet as follows: The Directors
authorized the payments of their
=hare of the joint expenses in
curred by the Fourth of July
Committee, of the celebration in
honor of General Buckner and
the personnel of the bombers, al
so the joint expenses incurred
by the City and Chamber of en
tertaining the 46 guests at the
luncheon given in honor of Gov
ernor Gruening’s visit here on
July 16. to organize a Civil Dc
I fense Corps.
On motion the treasurer was
instructed to pay the bills and
to render the City a bil’ for
:ts share of the expenditure.
On motion the Secretary was
instructed to enter into commun
ication with Delegate Dimond in
relation to obtaining the investi
gation of Sheelite in our Divi
=ion. It is known that sheelite is
recovered by almost every miner
in the Second Division and that
the present demand for sheelite
(tungsten) is increasing and an
effort shou'd be made to increase
the local production. It is fur
ther suggested that some agency
or individual should undertake
to gather the sheelite available
and tc assemble it at one point
for shipment to the States. Rules
and Regulations governing the
marketing of this mineral are
; available at the local Territorial
, Assay Office. It is very possible
j if the proper encouragement is
| given to this industry that it
shou’d result in quite a lot of
sheelite being gathered and min
ed in our section. The Delegate
will be requested to obtain the
cooperation of the United States
Geological Survey to assist the
miners and to give them such
j advice and support to further the
1 industry.
1 It was suggested that when the
geologists are sent to Nome, that
i their arrival should be made
known to the mining fraternity
in order to have them meet and
work with the geologists in that
respect. The price of this miner
i al has increased considerably and
| it will pay anyone to look into
| the subject.
The Board of Directors also
discussed the advisability of com
j municating with the Alaska1
Steamship Co. to ascertain the;
.reason for the change made ini
j dispatching their vessels to the;
States via St. Michael, when here!
tofore the practice has been to
make the trip down the coast to
St. Michael and return to Nome
before sailing for the States. It
is hoped that if at all possible
the former practice will be re
established, making Nome the ter
minal for this section of Alaska.
The next meeting of the Cham
ber will be held two weeks froni|
i today, and said meeting will be
a social luncheon for the mem
bers and invited guests. Ralph
Lomen has been chosen chair
man for the meeting.

Secty. Hinckley
Inspects Airways
In Territory
J
Nop]net. the word which has do
scribed Alaska treatment at the
hands of civil aeronautics ad-,
mini-trstors in Washington. D.
C. , until recent years, will no
longer be the attitude of the avia
tion authorities, if a current tour
of Robert H. Hinokloy to the1
Territorv bears fruit.
Hinckley is assistant secretary
of commerce in cha"2f> of aero
naut's, a post to which he was
boosted recently after serving as
chief of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority.
The assistant secretary flew in
to Fairbanks last week from Seat
tie aboard a PAA Lodestar for
his first personal survey of avia
tion operating facilities and con
ditions in Alaska.
Former Alaskan
On the same plane was How
ard Rough, from the Washington
D. C., offices of the Civil Aero
natuics Administration. Rough,
12 years ago, was Alaska's first
CAA inspector.
Part of the intent of the trip
to Alaska for Hinckley and
Rough is to oversee reorganiza
tion of the aeronautics adminis
tration under separate regional
status.
Cooperation Necessary
Prime objective of the north
ward junket, however, is inspee
tion of the many current CAA
construction projects in the Terri
tory. The Washington pair will
fly over as many of these as is
possible before they must return
to the States by the end of this
month.
I
‘In this program of a'rvvays
facilit’es expansion,” .said H nek
lev. “we are eager to see what
mii=t be done, as well as assuring
re-operation to the limit along
the CAA. military agencies, wea-,
tKer bureau, and Coast and Geo
detic Survey.”
The assistant secretary of com
merce admitted that A’aska has
been neglected in the past in the
aCention of aeronautics author
ities. The reason for this he stat
d was “It’s so far from Wash
ington.”
Hinckley said even some of the
western states have faced this
same problem of neglect.
The current airways aids ex
nan-ion. coming hand in hand
with broad military development
of Territorial sites, is not neces
sarily a sudden movement reflect
ing fear of invasion from the
east.
“Rather,” said Hinckley, “it is
a movement to ward off the fear
of invasion.”
The Commerce Department of
ficer expressed surprise at the
press reports from Washington,
!) C.. stating that applications:
from 3,1 c-mmorcial air carriers
in Alaska for operating cerificat
es have been laid aside tempor
arily “pending a more thorough
study of Alaskan flying condi
tions.”
Raymond Stough, who conduct
ed hearings in Alaska aviation
centers upon which the current
applications are based, has been
asigned to make the study for the
Civil Aeronautics Board, the dis
patch reported.
The last hearings in Alaska —
information from whic his dcler
mined largely which aviation
Arms may bo granted certificates
of convenience and necessity —
were conducted in Fairbanks as
long ago as October 1, 1939.
Examiners
Take Over
Jap Banks
SEATTLE, July 28 — Bank ex
^miners have taken over all or
inetal banks on the Pacific Coast
to supervise enforcement of the
executive freezing order. The
banks have opened their doors
under a Treasury Department
general license ,and are engag
ed in domestic business only. Ex
aminers are said to be making
certain they are not citadels for
subversive activity.
A spokesman for Seattle's col
ony of 8500 Japanese, declared
members of the colony have
pledged loyalty to the United
States, an dare ready to fight for
this country if necessary. About
757 percent of Seattle’s Japanese
are American citizens.
‘Study’ Continues
Hinckley commented question
ngly, “How much longer are they
going to prolong this ‘study.?”
Telegrams in the hands of Fair
banks air operators indicate the
‘study’ wil continue at least sev
eral months. These messages, re
ceived from the Anchorage office
of the CAA, carried information
that additional hearings on the
applications for certificates of
convenience and necessity will
be held in Fairbanks beginning
September 1 — 23 months after
the original hearings, which hav -
as yet produced no final deter
mination of carrier permits.
Hinckley and Plough planned
to fly to Anchorage with CAA
officials Hopipn, Stone and Horn
ing and from there would fly to
varous auxiliary and emergency
field and radio range stations un
dcr construction.

SHE’S THE WEST POINT NOW, IN UNCLE SAM’S SERVICE —In her dull paint the P.S.S. West Point
rides the waters at Norfolk, Va., no longer the elegant liner America but now a troop transport taken over by the navy. It was converted
from luxury cruise liner to transport in about 11 days, and triple-deck bunks, plain chairs and tables have replaced the luxurious fur
nishings. Note the life rafts attached to boat’s superstructure. The 30.000-ton America was launched in August, 1939.
