More Alaska Pilots
Are Active, Says FAA
Three out of five pilots in Al
aska who hold certificates are
“active” pilots, a larger propor
tion than in any other state, the
Federal Aviation Agency reports.
Of 4,564 pilots certificated in
Alaska, 63 per cent or 2,877 have
current medical certificates which
indicates they are actively using
their certificates, according to a
state-by-state tabulation recently
issued by the FAA. The national
average is 52 per cent, with 354,
365 out of 836,196 holding current
medical certificates.
California has the largest num
ber of active, certificated pilots,
.with 47,068; Texas is next with
25,614; then Illinois with 20,217;
followed by New York with
20,100 and Ohio was 16,558.
The total of inactive pilots in
cludes many who have quit fly
ing but whose certificates are kept
on the books. The FAA considers
active pilots as the proper indica
tion of flying interest.

Kodiak, secretary of the Alaska
Police Chiefs Association, official
ly cancelled Wedne^ay the an
nual meeting of the 12 Alaska
chiefs which was to have been

Soviets Indicate
They Will Talk
Sense at Geneva
By JOHN HIGHTOWER
GENEVA, — The Soviet
Union has eased up on its demands
tijat East and West Germany sit
in on secret talks at the Big Four
foreign ministers conference, in
formed sources said yesterday.
The Soviet maneuver had threat
j ened serious delays in the talks.
Informants said the Soviets in
dicated a readiness to take part
in social functions from which the
Germans would be barred.
Much of the real negotiations in
the early phases of the conference
took place at secret sessions. Pub
lic sessions, at which the Ger
mans sat as advisers, produced
little more than speechmaking.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Grolnyko threw the conference
into confusion Monday after it re
turned from a recess by announc
ing opposition to secret sessions
unless East and West Germany
took part.
The outlines of the compromise
emerged after a dinner confer
ence Wednesday night at which
Jakob Malik, Soviet Ambassador
to London, was guest of Sir Patrick
Reilly, British Ambassador to
Moscow.
The conference still remained
snarled, however, over a solution
for the Berlin crisis — the basic
issue that drew the four powers
to Geneva.
The West stood fast against any
Soviet truce formula for Berlin
granting new power and prestige
to the East German Communist
government.
Man Fights -Bear
MISSION, B. C., OP — Henry
Koonen traded blows with a
snarling, 400-pound black bear
Wednesday and then won the race
for his life.
Konen said he investigated when
he heard his dog whining in the
bush near his home four miles
north of this city, 35 miles east of
Vancouver.
He was confronted with a black
bear moving toward him. He
struck the bear on the shoulder
with his ax and the bear struck
him on the chest. Koonen ran,be
hind a stump and hit the bear
again. The bear ripped Koonen’s
left forearm.
Koonen ran for home. He said:
“I fell several times and each
time the bear almost got me. But
finally I beat him to my house.
Koonen was treated by a doc
tor and was in good condition
today.

GLENDALE, Calif., UP) — The
historic airfield where Will Rogers

Aviation pioneers such as

Perhaps the most photographed
