Pan American Airways antici
pates an increasing flow of pas
sengers on their Alaska runs as a
result of the new low rates effec
! live October 15.
The new low fares cut former
ra es for Alaska flights by 25 per
! cent, according to James Walsh,
' PAA distric traffic manager here,
; and apply to one-way and round
trip tickets between Seattle,
Ketchikan, Juneau, Whitehorse,
j Fairbanks and Nome. They will
remain in effect through the win
I ter season until April 15.
“These reduc ions, which mean
real savings for the Alaskan trav
eler, are part of Pan American’s
general effort to bring airplane
travel within reach of the average
pocket book,” said Walsh.
He pointed out that fare slashes
are part of a long term policy, but i
that they happen to come just at a
j time when labor disputes are in
j terfering with normal surface
transportation.
“The new reductions also apply

Truman Confident
Of Victory In
Nov. Election
(Continued from Page One)
York speeches en route back to
the Governor’s mansion. He will
rest in Albany tomorrow and then
go to New York City for speeches
Wednesday adn Thursday nights.
Addressing a homecoming rally
at Owosso Saturday night, the Re
publican nominee said one of his
objectives is to “bring an end to
the idea that government is their •
master and really make govern
ment a servant of the people
again.”
At Christ Episcopal church,
where Dewey attended services
with his wife and mother yester
day, souvenir leaflets were 'dis
tributed. These disavowed any
partisan politics on the past of the
church but said:
“According to the various polls
and the political prophets, Gov
ernor Dewey will be chosen to de
ceive the highest honor that this
nation can confer on any citizen.”
A prayer for his guidance and
protection followed.
Mr. Truman, winding up his
own midwestern campaign Satur
day afternoon, told a news confer
ence aboard his Washington
bound train that the pollsters are
going to be startled after the elec
tion two weeks from tomorrow.
He remarked about the size of
the crowds at several points on his
sixstate tour and then, in response
to a question as to whether he is
confident of victory, replied: “I
certainly am.”
A tall husky man came into the
outer office and gruffly told the
frail office boy: “Tell your boss
I want to see him. My name is
Williams.” “So you are Mr. Wil
liams; that makes it quite a prob
lem” said the office boy. “What
do you mean, problem?’ growled
the man. “Well, you see,” ex
plained the boy, “I’ve got orders
to throw you out on your ear.”
