Navy Loads Last Cargo
For Shipment to Arctic
DEW Line Bases
'SEATTLE, tB—The last piece

discharge cargo in the arctic

supply remote radar bases during
the warm period this summer.
The first vessels of the 46-ship
armada left Seattle today. More
will follow later, and the flagship
USS Eldorado will sail Saturday
with Task Force Commander
Rear Adm. Frederick C. Stelter.

i Pan American .Airways Granted
Transpolar Flight Rights From
Four Cities of Pacific Coast
SEATTLE, —Pan American
World Airways Friday was grant
ed transpolar flight rights from
the four Pacific Coast gateway
cities—Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Portland and Seattle— to
London.
President Eisenhower’s action
in including Seattle in the award
was hailed by Joseph E. Gandy,
president of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce, in a telegram to
the President.
Trans World Airlines, which
had sought rights from the four
cities, won approval to fly from !
Los Angeles and San Francisco
to Europe.

Interior Proposes
Wildlife Range in
Northeast Alaska
FAIRBANKS, (A*)—A decision
to ask Congress to establish an
8,000-square-mile arctic wildlife
range in the extreme northeast
ern corner of Alaska was an
nounced here Saturday by Ross
Leffler, assistant secretary of the
Interior for fish and wildlife.
I
Leffler said he feels a wildlife j
range would be preferable to a !
wilderness area, which is the sta- '
tus which had been proposed for
the remote uninhabited area in
the past. He also said he thought
an area this size should be set
aside by legislation rather than
by an executive order.
The proposed range includes
Mt. Michaelson, 9,289 feet high,
and is an important part of the
habitat of the caribou, wolverine,
wolf, sheep, and grizzly bear.
Leffler also disclosed at a
meeting with the board of direc
tors of the Fairbanks Chamber of
Commerce that he will recom
mend to the Secretary of the In
terior that a conflict at Kodiak
between stockmen and guides
over whether cattle or brown
bear should dominate the range
be resolved by moving its boun
dary of the present brown bear
refuge westward and eliminat- J
ing a one-mile strip reserved
around the island.

potentials at Seattle and Portland
were so uncertain it would be
desirable to limit the authority
to one airline and one northwest
terminal, that one being the Seat
tle-Tacoma Airport.
Pan American has proposed to
use DC-7Cs. The CAB order be
comes effective in 60 days. The
Portland and Seattle authoriza
tion is temporary, running until
July 1959.
“The inclusion of Seattle will
provide the Pacific Northwest
with a much-needed direct, short
route to Europe,” Gandy wired
Eisenhower.
“We trust considerations which
prompted your decision in the
West Coast-Europe case will per
suade you that we also need com
petitive service over the North
Pacific great circle route between
Seattle and Tokyo as supported
by the congressional delegations
of Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia.
“Approval of Pan American’s
application for the latter service
. . . will complement and tie in
Pan American’s West Coast
Europe route just awarded and
provide a new American flag
Europe-Asia service via Seattle,
natural gateway to the Orient,”
Gandy added.

Claim-Staking
Rush Opens Up in
Western Canada
LA RONGE, Sask., UPi—Possi
bly one of the biggest claim
staking rushes in western Cana
dian history opened up in north
ern Saskatchewan Friday.
An estimated 500 men were
staking claims furiously in a 17,
000-acre area near La Ronge after
the release of a set of new maps
compiled by airborne surveys.
The men were after base metals
and uranium.
More than 50 companies from
all provinces and the U.S. and at
least as many individuals were
involved.
About 30 planes were operat
ing out of the seaplane base at
La Ronge with radio messages to
the crews directing staking oper
ations as the maps were read by
land-based agents. Another 10
planes were believed operating
out of Flin Flon, Man.
A Toronto mining man predict
ed that 4,000 claims would be
staked on the basis of informa
tion contained in the maps.
The maps sold for $1 each.
