First Commercial DC-3
Flight Is Made To Quartz
Creek In The Kougarok
The first commercial flight by
a DC-3 to the new Quartz Creek
field completed last year, was
made Saturday by Wien Airlines
when they took Otto Wihl and
his supplies and equipment into
the Kougarok.
This modern method of trans
portation is reported to be not
only quicker but cheaper and it
is expected that during the season
many Kougarok miners will make
use of the larger type of aircraft
for their supplies.
Pilot on this first flight was
the well known bush pilot Fred
Goodwin who was accompanied
by Noel Wien.

50 Alaskans Go
To Seek Statehood
To Washington DC
ANCHORAGE, [R— Cheered by
word that part of their number
may see President Eisenhower,
more than 50 Alaskans left here
Sunday on a pilgrimage to Wash
ington which, it is hoped, will win
statehood for this territory.
Barrie M. White Jr., president
of Operation Statehood, said he
received a wire from Delegate
Bartlett saying the White House
has promised an appointment for
part of the delegation this week.
Other cities represented on the
trip are Fairbanks, Kodiak, Cor
dova, Valdez and Anchorage. The
Kodiak delegation is bringing a
supply of fresh frozen king crab.
Arrangements have been made to
have the northern delicacy put on
the menu of the House of Repres
entatives dining room.
In Washington, the delegation
will be housed at the Shoreham
Hotel, along with the Hawaiian
delegation, which is there on the
same mission. The two groups
plan to coordinate their efforts
for statehood.
A giant benefit show was staged
in Anchorage Friday night, with
entertainers from the area donat
ing their services. Proceeds will
be used to help defray public re
lations expenses of the Alaska
statehood delegation during the
week in Washington. Individual
delegates or their sponsors are
paying their own expenses.
Gov. Samuel Wilder King of
Hawaii headed a group of 53
persons arriving last night by
chartered plane from the islands.
The Hawaii delegation includes
more than 30 members of the 45
member territorial legislature, a
group of veterans in uniform, stu
dents from the University of
Hawaii and community leaders.
Another plane load of some 50
Alaskans, arrived early today.
Delegate Farrington scheduled a
meeting this morning with the
visiting Hawaii group to go over
plans for the week.
House Speaker Martin has ag
reed to meet a spokesman for the
Hawaii delegation at a time still
to be set.
