Alaska-Florida Air Route
Officially Christened In
Honor of 49th State
Washington, tP) — The Federal
Aviation Agency yesterday desig
nated its newest skyway — a
4,900-mile air road between Mi
ami and Fairbanks, and named
it the ’49er, in honor of the new
state.
Marble from Alaska’s Mt. Mc
Kinley and coral from Florida’s
beaches were used in a plaque
inscribed “49er Skyway, world’s
longest air marked skyway from
Florida to Alaska,” to be dedi
cated today in the lobby of Mi
ami’s new International Terminal
Building.
A skyway is a marked route be
tween two distant places, laid out
over the safest flying terrain. It
is primarily for the private air
traveler with refueling and serv
ing facilities at an average of 275
mile intervals.
Cities on the ’49er route of over
4,900 miles include Memphis,
Tenn., Omaha, Neb., Great Falls,
Mont., Edmonton, Alberta, and
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
FORGER CASHED SS CHECKS
OF DECEASED BENEFICIARY
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS
SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — The
Social Security Administration is
seeking a forger who has been
cashing the aid checks for a for
mer recipient who died 15 years
ago. The checks totaled $7,800.
How did they discover the fraud
after all this time?
The forger neglected to pick up
this month’s check, which was re
turned with the notation, “'Un
known at this address.”
The resultant search led to dis
covery of the fraud.

supposed to stay in bed.
The man waited until she was

brother was still in bed.
AUDREY HEPBURN SUFFERS
INJURY IN FALL FROM HORSE
HOLLYWOOD. UP) — Actress
Audrey Hepburn suffered four rib
fractiures and a leg injury in a
fall from a horse while a movie
was being filmed at Durango,
Mexico, her studio said here
today.
Miss Hepburn was working
on the Hecht-Lancaster film “Un
forgiven.”
Elsie Smith, who is replacing
Mildred Murphy at the Bureau of
Indian Affairs office, arrived here
Wednesday.
The lack of morals among the
youngsters, if it exists, is a re
flection of a greater lack of
morals among their elders.
Salmon Industry
Will Improve, Says
Fisheries Chairman
SEATTLE, Of) — Renewed pros
perity for Alaska’s blighted sal
mon industry was predicted yes
terday by the chairman of the In
ternational North Pacific Fisheries
Commission.
The chairman, Seattle attorney
Edward W. Allen, told a lunch
eon meeting of the World Trade
Club:
“I see no reason why the Alas
ka salmon industry should not
come back, with proper manage
ment, to its previous state.”
The industry used to average 5
million cases of salmon a year,
Allen recalled. The pack’s value
was 100 million dollars. This year
the salmon catch ran around 3
million cases.
Closer home, Allen predicted
another lOO-million-dollar indus
try for the salmon fisheries based
on Puget Sound and the Fraser
River.
This area’s salmon stocks have
been rebuilt through excellent
management by the International
Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commis
sion, he said. Unless dams block
development, this region may be
built into a more prolific provider
of salmon than it was in its nat
ural state.
Allan showed cautious optimism
for efforts of United States, Ca
nadian and Japanese members of
his commission to agree on ways
to safeguard the rich red salmon
spawned in Alaska’s Bristol Bay.
U. S. members 6f the commis
sion have asked Japanese and
Canadian members to approve an
order which would end Japanese
high seas fishing in areas where
the Bristol Bay red salmon feed,
off the western Aleutian Islands.
He would not predict, though,
that such agreement will come at
the commission’s annual meeting
next November in Seattle.

Southerners Fear
Civil Rights Loss In
Hawaii Statehood
WASHINGTON, UP) — A fear of
weakening the southern position
on civil rights legislation was cited
Wednesday as a major reason for
southern opposition to statehood
for Hawaii.
Representative W. R. Poage (D
Tex) told the House Interior Com
mittee many members of Congress
would vote against the statehood
bill for that reason alone.
Poage said he had voted for Ha
waii statehood in the past and
might do so again — if he is
convinced it is a sincere move on
the part of the government to ex
tend local self government to all
citizens of American soil.
“But,” he said, “If this is an
effort to get two more votes in
the Senate to defeat local self
government in the rest of the
states, it is not a worthy effort.”
Poage urged that Congress in
include Guam, Samoa and other
American islands in the Pacific
in the proposed new State of Ha
waii. The idea would be to give
their residents the advantage of
full citizenship and to foreclose
the possibility of their later ad
mission as separate states with
two senators each.
Poage was one of the final wit
nesses at a three-day hearing on
the Hawaii statehood bill.
Representative Leo O’Brien,
presiding at the hearing, said the
committee would start writing its
final draft of the bill at a closed
door session Thursday. He pre
dicted a final committee vote by
next Wednesday.

Miami TV Award
Indictment Will Go
To Trial In Wash.
WASHINGTON, UP> — Judge
Burnita S. Matthews refused to
day to dismiss an indictment ac
cusing Richard A. Mack and Thur
man A. Whiteside of conspiring
to influence the award of a Miami
television permit.
Judge Matthews also turned
down a defense motion in U. S.
District Court for transfer of the
trial to Miami.
Mack, former Federal Commu
nications Commission member,
and Whiteside, a Miami attorney,
were indicted after a House inves
tigation of Whiteside’s role in a
contest for Miami TV Channel 10.
Mack and Whiteside are old
friends and it was brought out
that Mack had accepted financial
favors from the lawyer while the
proceedings were pending before
the FCC.
Whiteside was not an attorney •
of record in the case, but had ex
pressed interest in the bid by a
subsidiary of National Airlines for
the channel.
