New Pan Am Route
Asked President
By State C of C
FAIRBANKS UP) — President
Eisenhower Monday was asked by
the Alaska State Chamber of Com
merce to grant Pan American
World Airways a new East Coast
Orient route via Alaska.
In a wire to the President, the
State Chamber requested ap
proval of Pan America’s request
on grounds it would decrease the
outflow of gold from the U. S.,
enhance America’s defense pos
ture, bolster investments in Alas
ka and give an American airline
equal treatment with foreign car
riers.
The wire, signed by C. W. Sned
den, President of the State Cham
ber, pointed out that utilization of
foreign flag carriers on East
Coast-Orient runs results in a
tremendous loss to the United
States in tourist travel expendi
tures.
“Pan American will bring to
the United States increasing num
bers of foreign tourists when the
convenience of through flights is
available, thus reversing the gold
outflow,” the wire stated.
Approval of the new Pan Amer
ican route would result in sub
stantial benefits to Alaska’s econ
omy, the state chamber pointed
out.
“New state tax revenue on fuel
alone will amount to in excess of
$1,200,000 annually,” the wire
stated.”
Substantial investment in Alas
ka’s future could be expected on
the part of Pan American and
domestic carriers in the event the
route is granted, the wire stressed.
This would further private invest
ment in the state.
The state chamber also empha
sized that the nation’s defense
posture would be enhanced by
having an American airline fly
ing the short route to the Orient.
The wire to the President added
that domestic corporations which
pay taxes to support the govern
ment should receive equal treat
ment with foreign flag lines in al
location of air routes.
Granting the new route would
increase revenues to the U. S.
Treasury but would not increase
competition with domestic car
riers, the chamber stated.
“The position of Alaska Air
lines, Wien Alaska Airlines and
Pacific Northern Airlines would
be enhanced because of increased
tourist traffic, both domestic and
foreign, resulting from direct
flights on an American flag line,”
the chamber informed the Presi
dent.
COUNTED THE LIGHTS
There is only one way of find
ing out how many colored lights
are lighting up Front Street this
week and that is to count them.
Someone did undertake the job
and submitted the number to
Councilman Robert Herman.
Counted were 950 light bulbs
and if any readers doubt the
figure they can take a re-count.

Comedian Red Skelton
Undergoes Surgery
HOLLYWOOD W — Comedian
Red Skelton underwent a three
hour operation Monday for cor
rection of a diaphragmatic hernia.
The surgery was successful and
Skelton’s condition is good, a
spokesman for Cedars of Lebanon
Hospital said.
The diaphragm is the thin mem
brane separating the stomach
from the upper chest.
The comic entered the hospital
after complaining he felt “bush
ed.” Friends say the many comedy
falls he has taken in a quarter
century of strenuous entertaining
doubtless contributed to the con
dition that necessitated surgery.

It requires the use of about 36

DIDN'T DRINK ENOUGH BEER
MUNICH, Germany UP) — Ba
varians were shocked at the of
ficial word that they didn’t fill
their beer drinking quota at this
year’s Octoberfest, the annual
festival.
Mayor Albert Bayerle told the
city council this year’s beer con
sumption was 2,875,000 liters,
76,100 less than in 1959. The famed
Bavarian stein holds one liter—
about a quart.
Bayerle said the only apology
Bavarians could offer for this
“horrible bit of news” was that
it was rainy, cold and generally
unpleasant weather.
Government, like living, gets
more and more complicated.
George Washington’s first nation
al budget could be written on
a single piece of paper. The most
recent federal budget runs to
more than 1,000 pages!
