News-Miner Experiment Aimed At
‘Political Pressures’ Slowing U.S. Mail
FAIRBANKS, 1*1 — Residents
of Interior Alaska could get four
cent mail twice as fast if the
Fost Office Department would re
sist “political pressures,” Fair
banks Daily News Miner charged
Monday.
The News-Miner cited the case
of two letters mailed in Tacoma,
Wash., with the cooperation of
the Tacoma Chamber of Com
merce January 8.
A1 Cailloutte, chairman of the
chamber’s Alaska Committee,
dropped one letter in the mailbox
in Tacoma, and presented the
other to Jack Ryan, ‘Daily News
Miner staff member, the news
paper said. Ryan took the letter
aboard a transfer company truck
which was bound for Alaska on
its regular bi-weekly schedule.
Both letters were addressed to
A1 Polet, president of the Fair
banks Chamber of Commerce.
The truck traveled to Seattle,
loaded, and went on to Lynden,
Wash., where an additional 10
hours were spent topping its load
with delayed produce. The truck
then made a routine, run to
Alaska, stopping at Tok Junction
and Big Delta to discharge freight.
The letter sent by truck arrived
in Fairbanks in three days and
18 hours, the newspaper said. On
the Lyndon-to-Fairbanks portion
of the run, the truck made the
trip in 71 hours and 56 minutes,
slightly less than its 72 hours
schedule.
The letter which traveled by
regular United States Mail to
Fairbanks was delivered to Cham
ber offices Monday, January 18,
1 the News-Miner said. However,
a check by the News-Miner re
vealed the envelope actually ar
rived in this city in a pouch two
days previously. The News-Miner
said a fair comparison of the
mail service in the experiment
was approximately eight days to
four, in favor of truck.
The News-Miner said that resi
dents of the Tok Junction and Big
Delta regions, on Alaska High
way, have trucks passing by that
are less than 70 hours out of
Seattle. Yet, they must wait up to
10 days for surface mail to be
forwarded to them via Fairbanks.
“The ability of the trucks to
deliver mail tp Interior Alaska
much faster than steamships is
well known to the Post Office De
partment,” the News-Miner said.
“But politics, exerted in Washing
ton on behalf of the present sea
carrier,, has blocked any change
in this service.”
The newspaper stated that a
Post Office report that the Cana
dian government would object to
JJ. S. mail passing, through Can
ada on American trucks held no
validity since there was no rec
ord any important negotiations
with Canada had been carried out
in regard to the matter.
Heavy Snowfall '
Hampers Traffic
In Ore., Wash.
By the Associated Press
The heaviest snowfall in years
all but paralyzed normal activity
in a broad area of northwestern
Oregon and southwestern Wash
ington Monday night and yester
day.
Driving east winds whipped the
snow into drifts that plugged side
roads and cause major trouble on
main highways.
The snow continued to fall and
forecasters said it might last all
day and into Wednesday.
Oregon’s Governor Mark Hat
field called on all people in
northwest Oregon to stay off the
streets and highways unless their
business was necessary.
There was ice from freezing
rain at Eugene. The snow began
north of there, was 6 inches deep
at Salem, and 3 inches at Toledo,
Wash.
Porland’s airport had 4 inches
early yesterday, and the city’s
West Hills had more, with many
drifts two and three feet deep.
