The Danubian proposal, which
emerged from one of the toughest
fights of the entire conference and
Which U. S. Senator Arthur H.
Vandenburg (R.-Mich.» declared

health and peace of central Eur

navigable tributaries and connect

terms of entire equality to the na

goods of all states.”
It requires that, six mbnths af

effect, the eight Danubian states
and the Big Four get together in
conference to establish the river’s
“new international regime.”

On several occasions, children three and four years old,

Alaska Airlines DC-4
Flies Seattle-Anchorage
7 Hours, 20 Minutes
Today Alaskan commercial avi
ation takes its rightful place in the
world of air transportation with
the arrival of Alaska Airlines’
Douglas DC-4, forty-four passen
ger luxury Starliner. The arrival
of this Douglas DC-4, the first to
be operated by an Alaskan car
rier, marks a new era in Alaskan
aviation and is another forward
step of this company to provide
the most modern and advanced
type of air transportation for
Alaskans, it wras announced today
by Marshal C. Hoppin.
The faith of Alaska Airlines in
the Territory, and its sincere de
sire to aid in the development of
the Territory by the rapid ad
vancement of commercial air
transportation, has been responsi
ble for the great change from bush
equipment to DCM’s in only three
years. Alaska Airlines first
brought modern twin-engine (
transports to the Territory in 1943 J
when it placed a Lockheed Lode
star on its routes. In 1945 it was
the first to introduce the DC-3 to
the Territory, and now continues
its parade of progress for Alas
kans by placing into service this
most modern DC-4 equipment.
The maiden flight from Seat
tle to Anchorage was made in 7
hours and 20 minutes, with Pilot
A1 Peterson and Copilot Fred
Wacha at the controls. From bush
aircraft to DC-4’s in three years
is the story of these well-known
Alaskan pilots, who know Alaska
like a book and are responsible
for the safe and enjoyable air
transportation known to the peo
ple throughout the Territory.
A second Douglas DC-4 is now
being modified and should arrive
NOW.. .the most airminded people in
the world will get the most complete air
line service, with inauguration of four
engine Douglas DC-4 Starliners.
Carrying 44 passengers in luxurious
comfort, or nine tons of freight at better
than four miles a minute, the new Star
liners will bring new concepts of air trans
port to the Territory. They will enhance
our reputation for dependability built up
over the years by the tried and true equip
ment which has served bush and city so
long and so well.

Prior to her Alaska service she
sailed as the “Parthia” into the

The Vic now returns to bring
Nome’s supplies in an emergency.

“Old Ship” still can take it with
any other ship in the world. She j
