Seattle-Alaska Air Freight Rates
‘Just And Reasonable/ CAB Rules
WASHINGTON, UP)—1The Civil
Aeronautics Board has ruled that
air freight rates between Seattle
and Alaska are “just and reason
able” and that establishment of
minimum rates is unnecessary.
The board also:
1. Approved the existing “com
mon freight rate structure” be
tween Portland, Seattle and Alas
ka, as reported earlier by Sen.
Cordon of Oregon. A common
freight rate provides the same
charge for movement of freight
between Portland and Alaska as
for the shorter distance between
Seattle and Alaska.
2. Said the offerings of the same
fare from Fairbanks as from An
chorage to and from Seattle, by
Alaska Airlines, was unjust and
unreasonable, and it ordered the
company to discontinue the prac
tice.
3. Approved the common freight
rating of Anchorage and Fair
banks by Alaska Airlines, on ser
vice to and from Seattle.
4. Approved the fare of sched
uled airlines of $75 for tourist or
economy class service between Se
attle and Anchorage and $90 be
tween Seattle and Fairbanks.
5. Approved Northwest Airlines’
Stratocruiser fare of $105 between
Seattle and Anchorage, but found
the $90 off season fare unreason
ably low. The board said North
west should cancel this fare.
6. Approved reduced fares for
southbound passenger service
from Alaska, in freight class
equipment, on an experimental
basis until Nov. 1, 1954.
7. Approved the non-scheduled
airline’s fares of $62 between Se
attle and Anchorage, and $69 be
tween Seattle and Fairbanks, on
a “non - directional basis,” and
found the establishment of mini
mum fares unnecessary.
The CAB started its investiga
tion of air tariffs between Alaska
and the Pacific Northwest in Aug
ust, 1951, when it suspended a
proposed fare of $59 southbound
from Anchorage and Fairbanks to
Seattle, and $79 northbound from
Seattle to Fairbanks, filed by Air
Transport Associates, a non-sched
uled airline.
The proposed rates were $65
below the then existing south
bound fares from Anchorage and
$69 below those from Fairbanks.
They were $69 and $89, respec
tively, below the northbound fares
to Anchorage and Fairbanks.
The board said Air Transport
Associates has ceased operations
13th Typhoon Of
Season Lashes Tokyo
TOKYO, UP\—Fierce winds and
rain of the season’s 13th typhoon
bore down on Tokyo tonight after
claiming 12 dead, 22 missing and
49 injured and snarling communi
cations in southwestern Japan, the
newspaper Ashi reported.
Four ships about 300 miles
southwest of Tokyo sent distress
calls and property damage was
reported running to millions of
dollars.
Tokyo itself was in for a bat
tering of winds of from 60 to 75
miles an hour, the U.S. Air Force
weather Bureau said although the
storm center was expected to pass
to the south.
CYPRUS QUAKE'S HIGH TOLL
NICOSIA, Cyprus, Oil—A pro
visional survey disclosed Thurs
day 1,300 houses were destroyed
and 3,500 seriously damaged by
the earthquake that rocked the
Paphos district of Cypros two
weeks ago. At least 40 persons
were killed and over 100 injured.

since that time and “it now is our
understanding that few, if any,
irregular passenger flights be
tween the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska are being conducted.
“In view of this development,
the establishment of minimum
fares for irregular air carriers
does not appear to be necessary
at this time.”
The board’s examiner had re
commended against common
freight rates between Portland
and Seattle and Alaska.
In finding to the contrary, the
board said Portland and Seattle
long have been considered a com
mon trade area and are common
rated by water carriers, railroads
and truck lines, from some areas
in the States as well as ..in the
instance of Alaska.
It said the common rating prac
tice helped develop Portland-Al
aska freight traffic and opened a
new competitive source of supply
for Alaska.
Clark Calls Reds' Reply
On Missing Allied POWs
“Wholly Unacceptable”
TOKYO, Gen. Mark Clark
told the Communists Thursday he
considers “wholly unacceptable”
Red answers to U.N. demands for
an accounting of missing Allied
soldiers believed to have been
prisoners of war.
In a letter delivered at Panmun
jom last night, the U.N. command
er demanded the “immediate re
turn of those United Nations Com
mand personnel remaining in your
hands, and an horjest accounting
for all others who have been so
clearly identified as having been
in your custody.”
The Allies demanded on Sept. 9
an accounting of 3,404 men, in
cluding 944 Americans, identified
at some time as prisoners of the
Reds. The total was revised up
ward to 3,521 Thursday.
The Reds replied that some of
the men already have been repat
riated, others were released at
the front, some escaped and some
died.
NOT THE LIFE FOR HIM
BRADFORD, England, UP—Mrs.
Isobelishaw, 82 years old, and five
times a widow, has stopped col
lecting her sixth trousseau.
Ex-fiance Bob Miller, 63, put it
this way: “Isobel has an idea that
a husband doesn’t drink, doesn’t
go to the movies, but just sits at
home having the odd glass of her
home-made wine. That’s not the
life for me.”
