Hunt’s Suicide
Leaves Senate
47 GOP, 47 Demo
WASHINGTON, WV-Sen. Lester
C. Hunt (D-Wyo), former governor
now completing his first Senate
term, died at 12:32 p.m. (EDT)
Saturday of a bullet wound which
capitol police said apparently was
self inflicted.
Death came at Casualty Hospi
tal about 3Vz hours after the Sen
ator was found shot in his private
Senate office.
Hunt had been in ill health, and
Sen. Clements (D-Ky) said he
knows Hunt had “felt some con
cern” about his condition.
Hunt’s death leaves the Senate
membership at 47 Democrats and
47 Republicans. There also is one
Independent, Senator Morse of
Oregon.
Hunt had announced June 8
that because of “health . condi
tions” he would not seek a second
term as senator. He had been
undergoing treatment at the Na
val Medical Center in nearby
Bethesda, Md. The nature of his
illness was not disclosed.
Friends have said they did not
believe the illness was serious,
although the possibility of an op
eration had been discussed.
Hunt has devoted much of his
time in the Senate to military
affairs. He is a member of the
Armed Services Committee. He
became widely known also as a
member of the Kefauver commit
tee, which conducted a series of
televised hearings in 1951 and
1952.
Hunt has two children, Mrs.
Russell C. Chadwick of Minnea
polis, Minn., and Lester C. Hunt
Jr., who is in school in Chicago.
The American Cancer Society
says that only a little more than
half of the public knows even one
of the seven cancer danger sig
nals, according to a survey.

Airlines Ask CAB To Limit Operations
Within Alaska To Alaskan Companies
Anchorage to Give
Alaska-Educated Teachers
Employment Preference
Alaska-educated teachers will
receive employment preference
from the Anchorage school sys
tem under a policy the school
board adopted at a recent meet
ing.
Dr. William K. Keller, head of
the University of Alaska educa
tion department, revealed this in
formation last week. He attended
the meeting at which the board
adopted the policy.
Dr. Keller explained the educa
tion department will continue to
turn out an increasing number of
graduates with teaching certifi
cates each year. He added that
many educational systems in the
United States have policies of
hiring a certain percentage of
graduates from their respective
state normal schools.
Soviets Accuse U.S. of
Action Against Guatemala
Because of Indian Hatred
LONDON, Iff)—Moscow Radio
Saturday accused the United
States of “preparing a provocation
against Guatemala” because of a
traditional hatred of Indians.
A Spanish-language broadcast
beamed for Latin America said:
“In all his history the American
Indian’s worst and bitterest en
emy has been U.S. monopoly.
“Now, the U.S. monopolists are
plotting a fresh crime against the
Indians.
The U. S. State Department hates
Guatemala, the population of
which is 75 percent Indian, be
cause the United Fruit Company
has lost much of its land, now
distributed among Indian peas
ants.
“The U.S.A. is preparing a prov
ocation agaisst Guatemala to re
trieve the lost lands and reimpose
the yoke upon the workers of that
country.”
Fine Job Printing at the Nugget
► WASHINGTON, UP)—Two air
lines—Northern Consolidated and
Wien Alaska have asked the Civil
Aeronautics Board to limit airline
operations within Alaska to Alas
ka companies.
Another territorial operator, Al
aska Airlines, wants the board to
integrate airlines within Alaska
and those operating between Al
aska and the U.S., through a six
way merger.
The board’s Bureau of Air Op
erations, on the other hand, rec
ommends a two-airline competi
tive system between the States
and Alaska, with Pan American
World Airways and Pacific North
ern Airlines flying that route.
The positions were made known
in briefs filed with the CAB.
Northern Consolidated and Wien
said, in a joint brief, that no use
ful purpose could be served by
operation of local routes within
Alaska by “Statesides” compan
ies.
They said that if territorial
companies were given the busi
ness within Alaska now handled
by companies which operate in
the States, the increased volume
would reduce costs and increase
economies among local air lines in
Alaska.
They also urge that service by
Alaska Airlines and Pacific
Northern be suspended at points
in Alaska served by Northern
Consolidated and Wien. Wien
urged also that Pan American be
suspended on the Fairbanks
Nome route.
Alaska Airlines proposed it take
over the systems of Wien Alaska
and Northern Consolidated, and
that routes within Alaska of Cor
dova and Reeve—two other terri
torial companies—be merged into
the system of Pacific Northern.
Alaska said savings, if Wien
and Northern Consolidated were
merged with it, would amount to
between $1,869,000 and $2,379,000
annually.
Alaska said the improved ser
vice that would result would cut
fares within the territory which,
in some cases, it said, now are five
or ten times as high as in the
States.
Arnold D. Berkley, attorney for
the CAB Bureau of Air Opera
tions, recommended against re
newal of the temporary certifi
cates of Northwest Airlines and
Alaska Airlines for operations be
tween the United States and Al
aska. '
Berkley recommended:
1. Competition between two
air lines to each of the principal
markets in the States-Alaska
service—Seattle, Anchorage and
Fairbanks. He said this would
provide competitive balance as
contrasted to the present pattern
of four air lines dividing this
market.
2. Selection of Pan American as
one air line because it is the low
cost operator in the area and
already holds a permanent certi
ficate to the major markets except
for Anchorage.
3. Selection of Pacific Northern
as the other air line because it is
“more substantially fit” than Al
aska Airlines and can provide a
more localized service than
Northwest.
4. That Pan American continue
operating its Seattle-Ketchikan
Juneau-Cordova-Anchorage route
plus its regular system within
Alaska. ,

formerly of Nome are vacation
