Replacing The Dog Team
Northern Alaska’s senior airline,
Wien Alaska Airlines, which started serving
Nome in 1925, with a single-engine open cockpit plane
piloted by Noel Wien, replaced the dog team in
transporting mail for Nome, and revolutionized trans
portation in this isolated area.
Year by year, this company has kept pace with the
fast-changing tempo- in air transportation, and has
endeavored to give Nome and all of Arctic Alaska the
most comfortable, safest and fastest service.
A conservative organization, with experienced
bush pilots and comprised of Alaskans, who know the
people they serve — these are the officers of this
pioneer business.
Bringing prop-jets to Nome was not a hasty action,
but one that took several years of study and planning.
Trips were even made to foreign countries to gather
data on what type of plane would best serve this area.
The Fairchild F-27 which arrives in Nome this
evening has been carefully constructed to Wien speci
fications to handle problems of cold and small landing
fields. It trims down the flight time from Nome to
Fairbanks to less than two hours.
Nome joins with other Alaskan communities in
congratulating Wien Airlines and its officials on its
new service, and its share in the development of the
Big New State of Alaska.

Three-Power Plan
Aims Study of High
Altitude Blasts
GENEVA, — The United'
States, Britain and the Soviet
Union agreed today to a three
power scientific study of the
problem of detecting high alti
tude nuclear explosions.
A communique issued after a
50-minute meeting of the nuclear
test suspension conference said
American, British and Soviet sci
entists will meet in Geneva June
22 to go into this problem and re
port' back to the conference by
June 29.
High altitude blasts represent
one of the major unresolved prob
lems in establishing an effective
control system to police a ban on
atomic and hydrogen weapon
explosions. The other major prob
lem has to do with underground
blasts.
The conference now is in its
eighth month. Today’s session was
the 95th held by the three powers.
East-West differences in control
issus are still blocking the con
clusion of a treaty to ban nuclear
weapons tests.
Ad Exec. Suggests Banks
Handle Household Bills
DALLAS, UFi — Let the bank
pay the family’s monthly bills and
averybody will benefit, a Dallas
advertisng executive, E. B. An
drews, said. Writing in the Amer
ican Banker, a trade. publication,
Andrews proposed having the cus
tomer serid all his charge account
bills to the bank. The bank would
handle the accounts in one of two
ways:
Under the first plan, the cus
tomer would authorize the bank
to pay bills as they come in, up
to a set limt.
Under the second plan, the bank
would send the customer a list of
all bills at the end of the month.
The customer would return the
list with a notation of how much
he wanted paid on each account.
Andrews said the plans would
cut the number of checks written
by the average family from 25
to 5 or 6 per month. Businesses,
he said, would benefit through
elimination of thousands of bills,
envelopes, payment notations and
individual deposits.
National Banks Asked to

WASHINGTON, MV—'The comp
troller of the Currency yesterday
issued a call for a statement of
the condition of all national banks
at the close of business Wednes
day, June 10.

ments from member banks and
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. asked similar reports from
insured banks, both for the same
date.
