President's
Son Wed
Grand Canyon, Ariz (^P)—
Col. Elliott Roosevelt and Movie
Actress Faye Emerson were
married here last week in the
glass-enclosed observation sta
tion on the rim of the Grand
Canyon, in what the bride called
“probably the most beautiful
wedding there ever was.”
The president’s 34-year-old
son and the 27-year-old coppery
blonde, a graduate of the Little
Theaters, recited their marriage
vows before a large window
overlooking the magnificent
chasm.
“Our marriage means so much
to both of us that we wanted to
begin it as beautiful as poss
ible,” the bride told reporters.
From the observatory station
the wedding party proeeeded to
the El Tovar hotel, a rustic,
scenic honeymooners’ retreat a
bout a mile away.
The above picture shows the
couple in a Hollywood night
club just before their marriage
trip.

CAB Recommendation (;
New Kodiak Airline Cite:
Fairbanks— The Civil Aero
nautics Board has recommended
that Woodley Airways of An
chorage be granted a certificate
of public convenience and neces
ity authorizing it to carry pass
engers, express and mail between
Fairbanks and Kodiak via An-1
chorage and Homer, a route,
held by Alaska Airlines since j
March 1, 1942. The recommend-1
at ion is subject to a condition
that the number of trips sched-!
uled by Woodley Airways bet- j
ween Anchorage and Fairbanks
shall not exceed the number of
scheduled trips between Anchor
age and Kodiak.
Alaska Airlines’ new certificate
of public convenience and nec
essity between these points is
limited to the Fairbanks Anchor
age run.
These recommendations were
contained in a report of the
CAB served upon William C
O’Brian and A. D. Lawrence for
the Postmaster General, John
W. Cross for Alaska Airlines
Gerald P. O’Grady for Woodley
Airways and V. Rock Grund
man, public councel
Unless exceptions are filed)
new mail contracts will be made
as of February 28, 1945, when
the present contract term expires.
Woodley Airways has held cer
tificate for passengers, property
and mad service between An
chorage and Ninilchik via Kenai
and Kasilof.
In reviewing the conditions of
Alaskan aviation, the report
said: “This is the first proceed
ing looking to permanent change
in the certificates originally iss
ued by the Board in the general
investigation of Alaska air ser
vices. At that time the general
economy of the Territory was
highly integrated with and de
pendent upon air transportation;
indeed air service was the only
year round mode of transport
ation available in most of the
Territory . . . There was exten
sive competition between car
riers. These conditions prevail
today and undoubtedly will con
tinue for many years in the
future. It is true that the vol
ll
time of air traffic in the Ttj
tory is small when ju4
merely by the total figure, t
has supported a number oi
operators for many years ot
because of the transport^
and economic conditions pec^,
to the Territory, it is impor'
that the public have the t
imum availability of air sei^
it can support. The mere
that one carrier may be abh
handle all of the traffic off?
even over a route as import
as the Fairbanks - Anchor
route, which both applicant!
gard as the most important’
having the biggest air traffic'
tential in Interior Alaska, sh
not deprive the public of
benefit of competition if the
sufficient support for a rea
able volume of operations
more than one carrier.. .

“Alaska Airlines now h
certificates for about 6,000 r
of regular routes, excluding
lication of mileage resulting
over-lapping routes. It '.s ce
cated to carry mail over 1
miles and has been low bidde
1 190 miles out of a tot a
2,714 miles of mail service

as Woodley which holds cei
cates for about 1,180 miles o

are certificated for mail ser
Woodley holds no mail con

“Size in itself should not

seeking a certificate of p

not be permitted to mainta

not only because of the c

but also for the purpose
