Comprehensive History
Of Alaska To Be
Published This Month
The publishing firm of Binfords
and Mort, 124 NW 9th Ave., Port
land, Ore., is issuing in the middle
of May, as a commercial venture,
Dr. Clarence C. Hulley’s compre
hensive history of Alaska.
This book, entitled “Alaska,
1741-1953, attempts for the first
time to place Alaska’s develop
ment against a world perspective.
It presents the history of the Rus
sian period, relives the saga of the
gold rushes, and trace_s the politi
cal, economic and social develop
ment in the Twentieth Century.
Dr. Hulley has been preparing
the book through eight years of
offering his unique course on Al
askan history at the University of
Alaska. For this, the most popular
course at the university, he has
collected many plates and maps,
the best of which he has selected
to illustrate his book.
From this background, Dr.
» Hulley has been able to combine
scholarship and readability.
Alaska Bankers Assn.
Favors Re-enactment of
Banking Code Bill
SITKA, IT)—The Alaska Bank
ers Association was on record
Tuesday as favoring re-enactment
by the next legislature of the vol
• uminous banking code bill vetoed
recently by former Gov. Gruening.
The 120-page bill, largest in
Alaska legislative history, would
have established a territorial
banking board without the gov
ernor as a member, created the
new post of bank commissioner,
brought closed examination of all
bank records and covered nearly
every other aspect of banking pro
cedure.
Both houses passed the bill at
the recent session, but Gruening
killed it as one of his final acts
on grounds it had several objec
tionable features.
The association, ending a three
day annual convention here Sat
urday, endorsed the banking code
and asked that the next legisla
ture pass it again.

Flying With An
I Alaska Bush Pilot
* *
Special to the Nome Nugget
By L. E. OST
We left Nome on an Alaska
Line plane and deplaned at Una
lakleet. The “hop” was fair and
fine and the courtesy of the plane
personnel was all that could be
desired.
From Unalakleet careful Alaska
Airlines Pilot Art Johnson took
us to Alakanuk, South Yukon.
Here they were busy getting ready
for the breaking of the mighty
Yukon and for the arrival of the
“silver horde.” The weather could
have been better, but it could
have been worse.
We were to continue to Marshall
on a connecting Alaska Airlines
, plane. But we had an emergency
| call to go to old Akulurak and
pick up a man who had blacked
out and fallen off a building. He
was found in a condition which
made us take him directly to the
hospital at Bethel, from where he
was taken to Anchorage later the
j same day.
Our pilot was Ray Miller, and
such incidents show the kind of
I indispensible service our bush
pilots render.
After lunch the mail plane re
! turned to the Yukon to complete
; the mail run. The mail line cour
teously let me wait over at Moun
tain Village to continue to Mar
shal on the next run.
Returning, from Unalakleet with
a generous load of mail for Low
er Yukon, they ran into thick
weather and landed on a lake,
evidently to wait for the weather
to clear. The poor visibility no
doubt was a large factor in what
followed. The heavy plane, in
landing on the ice, ran up on the
tundra, where it upended on its
motor and burned. Only the metal
parts were left, mute evidence of
the disaster.
The two men were able to get
, out of the burning wreckage. They
| sustained burns about their heads
i and hands. Pilot Ray Miller flew
! from Bethel with Mechanic Bud
Hanson to the place of disaster
| and brought the two injured men
| to the Bethel Hospital. The Al
j strom twins with their small plane
j joined in the search.
Before we growl and kick about
! services, let us look at the other
; side of the picture.
Typical of so many Alaskan
hearts, the latchstring of hospital
ity was found invitingly on the
outside at every place of call.
The Wright brothers taught
about 50 students to fly, the be
ginning of a chain which includes
most modern pilots.

New Marine Division
Graduates in Atomic War
Amphibious Exercise
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif., UF>
—The new U. S. Third Marine
Division graduated here Tuesday
in an atomic war amphibious ex
ercise which was aimed at libera
ting the southwestern United
States from an invader.
Navy briefing officers said the
assumed situation — with United
Nations forces stalemated in Kor
ea, Alaska and Latin America
overrun and U. S. cities atom
bombed—was “realistic and high
ly probable.”
A fleet of more than 100 Navy
ships remained well scattered off
the coast to avoid destruction in
mass by enemy atomic bombs.
