> ANCHORAGE, (fl> — Business,
civic and military leaders testified
at a Civil Aeronautics Board hear
ing Monday of the need they said
exists for a third major air carrier
to link this fast-growing Alaska
community to the States.
The testimony was given at a
hearing conducted by CAB Exam
iner Francis J. Brown on States
Alaska airlines certifications. It
was attended by representatives
of nine airlines which presently
operate in Alaska, and delegat
ions from various Alaska cities
and from Seattle and Portland.
The hearing continued Tuesday.
Augie Hiebert, president of the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce,
and Ralph Browne, the chamber’s
economic consultant, outlined that
organization’s position.
Other first day witnesses in
cluded Lt. Gen. Joseph Atkinson,
commander of the Alaska Com
mand, Carvel Linden, president of
the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, and Robert B. Atwood,
chairman of the Anchorage cham
ber’s Air Certification Committee.
Hiebert in his testimony called
for:
Recertification of airlines pres
ently serving Anchorage and ad
dition of a third carrier;
More use of the Great Circle
route and further development of
the inland route via Edmonton,
Alberta, to the East Coast;
More protection for airlines ser
ving areas within the territory.
Browne also called for a third
carrier to serve Anchorage. He
said its justification can be found
“in the past growth, in the present
rate of growth and in the tremen
dous growth the city will undergo
in the future.”
Gen. Atkinson told the hearing
of the immense strategic impor
tance he said results from aviation
operations between Alaska and
the continental United States. He
stressed the value of civilian air
craft, both as separate operations
in the development of commerce
in peacetime and the tremendous
airlift available in time of war.
Both Atwood and John Croul,
Anchorage chamber manager, said
the chamber is not leaning toward
any one airline.
Atwood said the chamber takes
the stand one already in operation
should be recertified so better
mail and passenger service to the
East Coast would be available and
to avoid funneling everything
through Seattle.

Football Win But
No Holiday For
Rioting Students
AMES, Iowa, UP)—Sleepless Iowa
State College students, rebuffed in
their second demand for a holiday
to celebrate a homecoming foot
ball victory, returned to classes
again Tuesday.
For the second straight night
approximately 3,000 impatient
students poured out over the
sprawling campus, marched to the
president’s house, then blocked
U.S. 30—the transcontinental Lin
coln Highway.
The student exuberance was
touched off Sunday night by Icrwa
State’s 13-6 grid triumph over
Missouri last Saturday. About
4,000 students, demanding Mon
day off, wildly demonstrated
while police tossed tear gas bombs
in a vain effort to dispell the
throng.
The students erupted anew on
Monday night while neither Ames
nor state peace officers appeared
to challenge them. When their de
mands for cancellation of Mon
day’s classes were denied they
shouted for “Tuesday off.”
Dr. James Hilton, college presi
dent, appealed to the crowd,
which he estimated at 3,000, to
disperse in an orderly manner and
go home.
“I’m still happy with the stu
dent body,” he said. “I’m a fresh
man here, too. Dr. Hilton was
named Iowa State president ear
lier this year.
Peace returned early Tuesday
only after several hundred stu
dents plodded the 1V4 miles td
town, appearing at the police sta
tion and.shouting “We want tear
gas.” They were ignored.
