PAN AMERICAN
REDUCES FARES
Reduction of passenger fares be
tween Seattle and Alaska and be
tween points within Alaska, was
announced by Pan American
World Airways’ Pacific-Alaska Di- i
vision, effective yesterday.
Present fares will be reduced
from five to seventeen percent, J.
W. White, regional manager at j
Seattle said.
Two Douglas DC-3s have been
added to the Alaska fleet, due to
increased traffic, providing addi
tional schedules between key
northern cities and Seattle.
"The fare reductions are part of
Pan American’s long range pro
gram to offer constantly improved
service at rates consistent with in
creased traffic,” the manager de
clared. "We are pleased to be able
to make these reductions in the
face of soaring prices and rising
operational costs.”
Half fares for children two to
twelve, infants free of charge and
ten per cent reductions for round
trips remain in effect with inaugu
ation of the reduced rates.
More passengers were flown be
' tween Seattle and Alaska during
the first nine months of this year,
than during any comparable peri
od of Pan American’s 14 years of
northern service, White declared.

U. S. Fleet To Visit
Near Eastern Ports
WASHINGTON. (/P) — United
States warships, making their
third excursion into the politically
troubled waters of the eastern
Mediterranean, will visit both
Turkish and Greek ports in the
next few weeks.
The navy announced today that
"arrangements have been com
pleted by the state department for i
U. S. naval forces norw in the Med-!
iterranean, or en route there, to
make visits to various ports inci
dent to training exercises during
the latter part of November and
early December."
It was learned that both Secre
tary of State Byrnes and Under
secretary Dean Acheson had
okayed the cruise.
State department officials, how
ever, could shed no light on why
they gave the warships the green
light to make calls virtually in the
back yard of the Soviet Union
only a few days after the depart
ment had asked the army to post
pone a projected round-the-world
flight by a fleet of B-29 superfort
bombers.
Both Turkey and Greece cur
rently hold international atten
tion—Turkey because of her Dar
danelles dispute with Russia and
Greece because of the small scale
civil war in her northern area
near the Yugoslavian border.
Although the announcement re
ferred to the visits as being "inci
dent to training exercises," the
September 30 statement by Secre
tary of Navy Forrestal was re
called.
i •
At that time, the cabinet mem
ber said United States navy forces
were being maintained in the east
ern Atlantic and Mediterranean
for two specific purposes: to sup
i port allied occupation forces and
(the allied military government; to
I “protect United States interests
and to support United States poli
cies in the area.”
