Moving School in Winter Is Part of
Job to Alaska Airlines Bush Pilots
SEATTLE, Uft—Alaska Airlines
bush pilots flew into a frozen,
snow-covered sandbar at Holy
Cross on the Yukon River last
winter to move the 26 students
and five faculty members of a
Jesuit Mission boarding school to
Gulkana and a new school on the
last frontier.
Bush pilots made landings and
takeoffs from an 800-foot strip,
shuttling the passengers 42 miles
over the frozen tundra to an
Alaska Airlines DC-4 Starliner
which carried the school to its
new and larger headquarters in
Gulkana in the Copper Valley.
To the laugning, excited Eski
mo children, Father John Hess,
their Mission priest, who came to
Holy Cross 42 years ago and has
n’t left since—and to the accom
panying faculty of nuns—this was
as nyich fun as boarding a bus
for a school outing. To the bush
pilots it was a tricky bit of flying
but no more tricky or unusual
than many other flights in the
far north. To Alaska Airlines it
was a planned flight and it went
off without a hitch.
Alaska Airlines, Inc., was formed
in late 1937, acquiring Star Air
Service and using the name Star
Airlines until a few years later
it became Alaska Airlines.
The line established several
firsts in Alaska’s ever-expanding
economy. The first fresh milk
brought in to the western section
of the territory was flown in by
Alaska Airlines when it became
the flying milkman for residents
of a large part of Alaska.
But whether it’s milk or meat,
passengers or freight that Alaska
Airlines carries over the route of
the Starliners, it is the efficiency
and skill of the main overhaul
and repair base at Paine Field,
near Everett, Wash., and the sup
porting service of the line stations
that make it possible for Alaska
Airlines to maintain efficiency
that will continue to be not only
up to but “above government re
quired standards.’.’

Syria Accuses U.S.
Of Attempt to
Overthrow Gov’t
DAMASCUS, Syria, UP—Syria
accused the United States yester
day of plotting to overthrow
President Shukri Kuwatly’s gov
ernment. The United States em
bassy here quickly labelled the
charge a “complete fabrication.”
An official government state
ment said the United States indi
cated willingness to pay Syria be
tween 300 end 4(H) million dollars
in aid if a new government would
make peace with Israel.
Political quarters here said that
Syria would lodge a strong pro
test with the United States.
The Damascus statement said
major participants in the alleged
conspiracy were ex-dictator Col.
Adib Shishekly, and the Syrian
military attache in Rome, Col.
Ibrahim Husseini. Shishekly was
sentenced in absentia last Febru
ary to life imprisonment on a
charge of leading a subversive
group.
The statement charged:
The United States assigned an
intelligence agent, identified as
Howard Stone, to conspire with
Shishekly and Husseini. Stone
was described as “the United
States’ number one expert on
coup d’etats,” who previously
“organized similar plqjts in Sudan
and Iran and was behind the
American coup d’etat in Guate
mala in 1955.”
The statement added that Stone,
Shishekly and Husseini recently
moved into Syria to carry out
their plot with the help of the
outlawed Syrian Social National
Party and other “agents and
traitors.”
