American Express Credit
Cards Will Be Honored by
Alaska Airlines Offices
SEATTLE, UR—Alaska Airlines,
pioneer link between the Pacific
Northwest and the 49th State, has
become the first major airline to
join the American Express credit
card service, Charles F. Willis,
Jr., president, of the airline, has
announced.
“Effective January 3,” Mr. Wil
lis said, “holders of American
Express credit cards will be able
to charge tickets, vacation tours,
excess baggage fees and personal
freight shipment direct at Alaska
Airline ticket counters. Until now,
American Express cardholders
have been able to charge airplane
transportation only at independent
travel agents honoring the card,
and at American Express travel
offices.”
Mr. Willis expanded:
“From its founding in 1931 by
a handful of bush pilots, Alaska
Airlines has been in the forefront
of improved air service to and
within Alaska.
“We take this latest action be
cause of our recognition of the
American Express card as a basic
implement for the convenience
of the traveler, both for business
and for pleasure.”
Mr. Willis pointed out that air
travel in Alaska is about as com
monplace as bus travel in the
lower 48. “Out of every 1,000
people in Alaska, about 727 fly
each year, while there, only about
25 fly annually. Because of this
tremendous dependence on the
airplane, both commercial and pri
vate—International Airport in An
chorage, has had, in a 24-hour
period, more aircraft operations,
landings and takeoffs — than any
other airport in the world,” Mr.
Willis said.

A Good Gift
The employes of Chicago’s main
Post Office have bought a station
wagon with profits made from the
soft drink vending machines
which are installed in the build
ing. They decided to make the
new car into a Mercy Wagon, and
now it is at the disposal of the
20,000 Postal employes of the Chi
cago area. It is being kept busy
night and day, and already has
aided in saving many lives.
“Mercy Wagon” was certainly
a good name to be given to the
Postal employes’ special car, for
it reminds us of this wonderful
word which is mentioned hun
dreds of times in God’s Word. It
was His “mercy” and care for us
that caused Him to send His be
loved Son into the world. . . .
“God Who is rich in mercy for
His great love wherewith He
loved us, even when we were dead
in sins hath quickened us together
with Christ (by grace are ye saved!;
and hath raised us up together
and made us sit together in heav
enly places in Christ Jesus: that
in the ages to come He might
show the exceeding riches of His
grace in His kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus.” 'Ephesians
2: 4-7.
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts*
The blessings of His heaven.

‘Terrible Touhy,’ Prohibition Gangland
Chief, Gunned Down in Chicago Street
CHICAGO, UP) — Police pressed
their search yesterday for the
shotgun slayers of Roger Touhy,
notorious prohibition era gang
leader, -who was slain from am
bush Wednesday night.
Police said they had no leads
in connection with the slaying of
the 61-year-old Touhy, wjio was
cut down by six shotgun blasts
by two assailants.
His violent death came a few
weeks after his parole from State
ville Prison where he had served
nearly 26 years for a kidnaping
he said he did not commit.
He died on an operating table
after telling police he did not
know,.the assassins.
'The Terrible' Touhy
Touhy, known as “The Terrible”
during his gangland reign in the
1920s, was shot as he was about
to enter the home of his sister,
Ethel Alesia.
With him was Walter Miller, 62,
a retired police sergeant and a
principal defense witness a t
Touhy’s trial for the kidnaping of
John (Jake the Barber) Factor, a
one-time confidence man. Miller
was seriously wounded in the
back and arms. His condition was
reported critical.
He fired several shots at the
slayers before he collapsed, and
he said he believed he wounded
one of the gunmen.
They were returning home after
visiting with Ray Brennan, a Sun
Times reporter and a co-author
with Touhy of the ex-convict’s
autobiography.
Factor, who lives in Beverly
Hills, Calif., was in Chicago in
connection with a libel suit against
Touhy. Told that Touhy had been
killed, he told a reporter: “I am
very broken up about it. I hope
they get the killer.”
Factor had sued Touhy and
others for three million dollars
in connection with publication of
Touhy’s biography, “The Stolen
Years.”* He contended statements
in the book libeled him.
Touhy was sentenced to 99
years in prison for the 1933 kid
naping of Factor. He also was
given a 99-year sentence for his
escape from Stateville with sev
eral other prisoners in 1942. He
was recaptured about three
months later.
Touhy contended throughout
his long years of imprisonment
that the kidnaping was a hoax
perpetrated by Factor.
