Alaska Airlines Asfcs CAB for
Direct Anchorage-Kotzeue Route
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON UPi—Alaska Air
lines asked the Civil Aeronautics
Board yesterday for new route
authority out of Anchorage and
opposed a proposal to eliminate
2,000 miles of its present Alaskan
route structure.
Alaska Airline’s lawyer, James
Bell, was the lead-off carrier
spokesman as the board began
hearing argument in the intra
Alaska service case.
Anchorage to Kotzebue Direct
He urged board approval of
Alaska’s request for authority to
fly a direct Anchorage-Kotzebue
route with an extension to Cape
Lisboume.
He asked also that Alaska be
permitted to stop at Galena as an
alternate intermediate stop with
Unalakleet on the Anchorage-to
Nome run or an the proposed An
chorage-Kotzebue route.
Alaska now must stop at Nome
on all flights between Anchorage
and Kotzebue. Bell said the direct
service sought by Alaska, but rec
ommended for denial by Examin
er Herbert K. Bryan, has been
asked by the Defense Department.
Bryan argued that Alaska Air
lines’ routes between the States
and the territory give it cost ad
vantages which would make its
retention of the routes more ad
vantageous than service by North
j ern Consolidated and Wien Air
lines as proposed by the examiner.
Mileage "Ignored"
j A CAB attorney said Alaska
j had “ignored if not abandoned”
; much of the affected mileage.
A Post Office Department at
torney told the board the depart
ment is neutral on what carrier
should provide what service but
considers it of great importance
that all Alaska points be given
adequate mail service.
One of the examiner’s most far- j
reaching recommendations would,
in effect, strip Alaska Airlines of
some 2,000 miles of its local ser
vice routes within the territory.
Eliminated from Alaska’s flight
pattern under this recommenda
tion would be service to Savoon
ga, Lost River, McKinely Park, j
Ungalik, Pitkas Point, New Knock :
j Hock, Akulurak, and mail service
j to Nenana, Summit, Talkeetna.

Traffic Blocked
On Alaska Highway
By Sinking Bridge
TAYLOR, B.C., UP)—Traffic on
the Alaska Highway was blocked
early today when the western
anchor of the $3,500,000 bridge
across the Peace River here ap
parently began to sink.
The big suspension bridge; built
by the U.S. Army during the sec
ond world war, started to topple
at 8:30 a.m.
The “sink hole”was about 500
feet back from the bridge. It was
believed the heavy “deadman”
cement anchor was slipping
toward the river.
The bridge is more than 4,000
feet long and spans the Peace
River about 40 miles northwest of
Dawson Creek, B.C. The West
Coadt Transmission Co.’s new
$20,000,000 gas scrubbing plant is
at the right of the bridge’s west
ern approach.

u
When Baby Screams
The new arrival in the house is
just four weeks old — and he’s
screaming at the top of his lungs.
His legs ai'e drawn up in pain, his
fists are clenched, and his skin has
taken on an angry, flushed color.
What’s the matter? The answer,
all too often, is colic — an acute pain
in the abdomen of the newborn
child. Some babies, luckily, never
seem to suffer
from it at all.
Others may have
only light cases.
In severe instan
ces, the attacks :
may take up as
much as four j
rxrn—rrrrmnr*hours of every
TWW\ TOE! day - to the mu- :
tual despair of infant, parents and
neighbors.
What’s to be done? Well, you can i
be patient. Colic isn’t fatal, and it
usually goes away for good after |
the baby reaches four months.
That knowledge, however, is not 1
much help right now, while (' 1 |
baby is actually fussing. Gei j
loving attention is helpful; so
music, and rocking or riding in the j
car. A warm hot-water bottle wrap- I
ped in a diaper can be applied to i
the baby’s abdomen for a temporary j
respite.
If the attack persists, however, ,
it’s best to consult your family doc
tor or pediatrician. He may find it
advisable to prescribe a new anti
colic preparation called Lonadoxin
Drops. In one recent study, report
ed by Dr. Robert T* Dougan of
Richmond, Va., this preparation
proved effective in 22 of 25 colicky
infants — dramatically so in a num
ber of instances. The drops are
harmless to even the tiniest infant
when given according to directions.
And in the meantime, have pa
tience. It will all be over in a few
months — until the r^xt baby comes
along l
