the communist strength across the
river. The Red radio said 300.000
troops had swarmed over the river
in small wooden boats between
Wuhu and Anking alone.

threatening to cut off all roads to
Shanghai, the U. S. embassy

Yukon Boating
Era Mav Be At End
FAIRBANKS, (/?’> — A public
hearing that may spell the end to
Alaska’s colorful Yukon boating
era was scheduled to be held here
Thursday.
Alaska Railroad officials, head
ed by Col. John P. Johnson, will
hear testimony to determine whe
ther the last of the fabled stern
wheelers will be pulled from the
Yukon and Tanana.
The hearing follows financial
reports showing the river fleet,
operated by the government-own
ed railroad, lost $76,338 last sea
son.
Villagers served by the packets
and barges are expected to testify
or send statemnts on what effect
discontinuance of service would
have on them. Testimony and
findings will be forwarded to the
interior department for a final
recommendation. A de c i s i o n
would not be effective until 1950.
This season’s sailing schedules
from Nenana, the head of naviga
tion where boats and trains meet,
already have been set.
Larry Moore, assistant to the
general manager, explained the
losses are partially due to the in
clusive freight rate, which dis
counts the high operating costs of
the river fleet. He quoted as an
example that 100 pounds of gro
ceries from Seattle to Nanana
costs $3.81. The cost would be the
same if the groceries are transfer
red to Holy Cross, 250 miles
downriver from Nanana.
