CAB Awards PAA
7 Percent Profit
WASHINGTON, <iP>—The civil
aeronautics board yesterday
awarded $2,572,000 to Pan Ameri
can Airways, Inc., for the hand
ling of mail between the United
States and Alaska between Aug
ust 1, 1944 and December 31,
1945. The award is calculated to
yield a 7 per cent operating profit
on the investment involved.
It is equivalent to 90.36 cents
per revenue plane mile in the
Alaska operations, including
flights inside the Territory but ex
cluding all non-mail trips.
CAB said the company required
$2,229,295 to “break even” on
these operations and the award
made would provide an operating
profit of $342,705, a return of 7
per cent “on the recognized in
vestment of $2,111,931 after fed
eral incqjne taxes are deducted at
the rate of 38.81 per cent.”
The board had described a 7
per cent return, with all factors
considered as “fair and reason
able.”
WIENS PURCHASE

plane is stationed here and will|
fly between Nome, Kotzebue,
Candle and Deering.
Southern Mine
Owners Sign Up«
PITTSBURGH, (>P) — The na
tion’s bituminous production
spurted toward normal yesterday
as “able and willing” AFL-miners
from the north and south dug coal
under terms of a new and unpre
cedented wage agreement.
Southern mine operators—last
holdouts to the “take-it-or-leave
it” terms of John L. Lewis—ca
pitulated Wednesday. The vast
West Virginia and east Kentucky
bituminous mine interests signed
first, leaving less than 10 per cent
of the nation’s soft coal production
unaccounted for.
However, mines in Virginia and
Tennessee were described as tem
porarily withholding signature
because they feared collision with
state laws regulating the closed
shop and dues check-off.

Shaves In the 'Making
_ - -- «♦
Tubes for shaving cream are one of the 3,500 articles which the
Aluminum Association reports are being made with aluminum, as re
vealed in the first industry survey since before the war when 2,000
uses were recorded. Here the tubes are being prepared for labeling.
The conveyor is moving them, left to right in front of the girl in the
rear, into the oven shown in the far background where annealing takes
place. Emerging from the oven, they are brought to the machine in
the foreground to receive a base coating just before the label is print-^
ed on them. _
