AFL Convention
Halted by Death
Of Legal Counsel
SAN FRANCISCO, uP)—Death
of 56-year-old Joseph A. Padway
general counsel of the American
f Federation of Labor, threw the
AFL convention into stunned grief
today and delayed a prospective
showdown over John L. Lewis' re
fusal to sign a non-communist
oath.
Padway was stricken midway
in a long and violent attack on
the Taft-Hartley Act on the con
vention platform yesterday. He
died less than eight hours later
in Stanford Hospital, shocking the
700 delegates and AFL leaders
who had cheered his remarks
without knowing he had sustained
a stroke on the speakers platform.

ALASKA BUSH PILOTS MAY
GET RELIEF SOON
i
Filial determination may be ex-,
pected at an early date for relief i
of the many bush pilots in Alaska ]
who have been forced to curtail
operations through lack of certi
ficates of public convenience and
necessity.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
has issued a proposed regulation
which would exempt any person
engaged exclusively in irregular
air transport wholly within Al
aska from the requirement of
holding the certificates now re
quired. The exemption from
regulations proposed carry three
qualifications for eligibility. The
exemption will be granted only
to a person who is properly quali
fied pilot owning and personally
operating aircraft. The aggre
gate aircraft owned and operated
must be limited to eight seats

with a single airplane limited to
five seats. The second condition
is that the pilot apply for or hold
a letter of registration from the
Civil Aeronautics Board. The
third qualification stipulates that,
the pilot may not operate between j
points on any route named in
schedules filed with the Board
except on casual or infrequent
trips.
The proposed regulation is be-:
ing widely circulated throughout |
the Territory to enable all inter
ested persons to submit endorse
ments or protests to the Board on
or before November 7. After
that date the Board will make
final decision. Comments should
be submitted in writing to the
Board and may be sent directly
to the Secretary, Civil Aeronau
tics Board, Washington, D.C., in
which event a copy should be
sent to the Alaska office of the
Board, P. O. Box 2219, Anchor
age, Alaska, or may be transmit
ted in duplicate to the Alaska
office, which will forward one
copy to the secretary of the Board.
Delegate Bartlett has long
urged that the Civil Aeronautics,
Board take concrete action in this
matter which has been pending
for many weeks.

“The non-taxpayers are in fav
or of it and the salmon and gold
mining interests oppose it in fear
it will increase their taxes.
“Some folks there want to load
the absentee owners with the ad
ditional taxes needed for state- ■
hood and expect that taxes of the
local people will not be increased.
“What Alaska needs is a broad
er tax base.
“If the people there paid taxes
comparable to those paid by the
people of the United States in each
state they would have no diffi
culty in financing statehood.”
Dawson said he believed the
statehood bill will be pushed by
the House public lands committee
next year but flatly said:
“It is hopeless for Alaska to
expect the statehood bill to be en
acted at the next session. There
is not time enough for it to be
enacted.
