P.A.A. Objects To
C.A.B. Proposal
VVASHIN GTON, — Pan
American Airways opposed yes
terday a proposal by the civil
aeronautics board to exempt 24
Alaskan air operators from provi
sions of the law so that they can
operate without a certificate be
tween Alaska and Seattle, Wash.
Citing figures to show non-cer
tificated carriers had operated an
average of six trips a day between
Seattle and Alaska luring August,
Pan American said such diversion
by unregulated carriers caused a
$2,000,000 loss on its United States
Alaska route during the first ten
months of 1947.
The airline’s brief said the
board’s proposal is illegal, and
added that it represented “con
doning a bad situation rather than
. . . rectifying it.”

til Dec. 18. ,
Under oath before the Senate
a p p ropriations committee, the
President’s personal physician

responsibility for the trades. Pre
viously, he had said publicly in a

ton and cottonseed oil, were

Nome, Alaska.
January 13, 1948
Dear Friends:
During the next three months,
I plan to attend Covenant Bible
Institute at Unalakleet, Alaska.
Therefore, I *am leaving a fare
well thought with you people,
whom I have learned to know and
others as well.
I appreciate the help you have
shown by kindness and a friendly
smile, also the business you have!
given me, during my stay he"e in
Nome.
It has been nearly a year Mnce
I allowed Jesus to restore me bade
9
into the family of God, and now,
he dwells within the place where
my thoughts begin.
It is not enough that I alone
should have peace with God, and
be ready to meet him when he
comes to get his own, but I want
you to have peace also.
My chief desire is that you lear4l
to know my Saviour aifd Lord
Jesus Christ, who has released me
from an awful Slave Driver, “thn
Devil,” and his bag of worldly
habits.
The Devil, being the enemy of
God, had me blind-folded spirit
ually, but the Lord had a way of
causing me to understand that I
was in an awful condition with
out Him, so I brought my case of
spiritual blindness to Jesus.
As I see the need, I have set my
mind to study God’s word and
leave myself in His hand to pre
pare me to serve Him.
If you are seeking contentment
in life. I am recommending Jesus,
who alone gives contentment.
“Come now, and let us reason
together, saith the Lord; though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall
be as white as snow; thought they
be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool.’’—Isaiah 1:18.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life; no
man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.”—St. J^ohn 14:6.
“Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock; if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will
come in to him, and will sup with
him, and he with me.”
—Revelation 3:20.
Lord willing I will be back to
file saws. May God be with you
all. —ISAAC EBEN

LOMEN COMPANY
DENIED REHEARING
JUNEAU—The U. S. maritime
commission January 2 denied a
petition of the Lomen Commer
cial company to reconsider the
commission’s supplemental report
finding rates charged by the
Nome lighterage concern unjust
and unreasonable, according to
word received by the Alaska De
velopment board.
An order reducing rates was ex
pected as a result of the commis
sion move, following closely ex
aminer F. J. Horan’s report which
found net income of the company
under 1946 rates to be more than
two and one-half times what a
fair return would justify. Since
that time the rates have again
been increased.
The examiner also declared
“unnecessary” and recommended
elimination of the Seattle office
of the company where four mem
bers of the Lomen family drew
salaries and bohuses of SI7.500 a
year each as officers.
