Steamship Strike
Imperiled Alaska
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30. </P)
Henry VV. Clark, general manager
of the Alaska Development board,
said today that western Alaska
would have a critical shortage un
less food and supplies could be
shipped immediately.
He issued a statement saying
also Juneau in Southeast Alaska, j
had one week's food supplies and
that dairy cows were being.slaugh
tered in Cordova because of lack
of dairy feed.
The Pacific American Steam
ship association through its execu
tive director, Albert W. Gatov, an
nounced that the southeastern part |
of Alaska might expect relief in
a few days, with the Northern |
Voyager due in Ketchikan on'
Tuesdey with 5.000 tons of food-1
stuffs.
The Alaska Steamship company i
has sent two ships from Seattle, j
the Victoria and Oduna, for Nome!
and Bristol Bay since the end of
the maritime strike more than a
week ago.
First relief for the population
of more than 30,000 in western
Alaska can be expected about Oc
tober 9, when the SS Alaska and
SS Baronoff, now in Seattle, are
scheduled to arrive in western
Alaska ports, the association said.
Mrs. Hermann, Alaska
OPA Director Praises
And Leaves Nome
Mildred Hermann, Alaska Di
rector of the OPA was an outgoing
passenger for Anchorage today
with the Alaska Airlines after a
ten-day visit to Seward Peninsula.
Mrs. Hermann stated that the1
merchants of Nome has been very ;
compliant with the OPA regula-:
tions and that she had noted very ,
few violations here, although the j
situation in several of the outlying !
trading posts have not been satis- J
factory. Especially noteworthy J
was the fact, she stated that in the
interim in which there was no
price control, Nome merchants
held steadily to established ceil-1
ings.
Mrs. Hermann had high praise
for the local OPA board who have
given so generously of their time.!
Mrs. Hermann expressed her ap- j
preciation for the many courtesies
shown her during her visit and j
declared “the Nome Chamber of
Commerce is certainly an energet-!
ic and forceful organization.” The
dinner given in honor of the Hear
ing Commission was one of the
nicest community affairs I have
ever attended. I was impressed
with the various civic matters at
the chamber meeting and the co
operation the members exhibited
in appearing as witnesses at the
hearing.”
Mrs. Hermann also attended a
special meeting of the Home Arts
Club as she is a former president
of the Alaska Federation and has
long been interested in club work
in the Territory. She discussed the
legal status of women in Alaska,
a subject which the Federation
has given considerable study and
attention.
In connection with the rate
hearing Mrs. Hermann stated that
should the commission find the
rates fair and equitable, obviously
the government must find a solu
tion ‘elsewhere as Alaska is too
important to the nation as a whole
for the handful of Americans who
have devoted their lives here to
carry the burden of additional
costs and higher rates .

"But Mr. Abercrombie—Pan American already
knows how many more Clipper' flights
are now serving Alaska”
Thirty-five flights going Outside every week! Thirty
five coming back! Fifteen hundred extra seats every
month—a 40 percent increase! That’s Pan American
Flying Clipper service as it now stands ... and we’re
plenty happy to announce it. Wish it meant that you
could step aboard without reservations — but it
doesn’t. You should still contact the address below
as early as possible so your seat will be waiting. It’ll
be a pleasure to welcome you aboard.
