PAA READY TO HELP IN
ALASKA AIR-LIFT
Pan American Airways is fully
geared to swing the entire re
sources of jts Pacific-Alaska fleet
of four-engined Clippers and its
3,000-man staff into full-scale air
lift operations to Alaska, Hawaii
and other Pacific islands, if the
waterfront tie-up should continue
long enough to cause abnormal
conditions, Harvey Hancock, traf
fic manager for the Pacific-Alaska
division said today.
He emphasized that so far there
have been no emergencies.
Hawaii and other Pacific points
are well stocked with food, medi
cines and other vital supplies. The
demand in Alaska is being fully
met by present PAA air opera
tions, he said.
“During the shipping strike of
1946, conditions in the Pacific
were more or less normal for the
first six or seven weeks,” Hancock
said. “After that we were called
on to fly out tons of vital supplies
rlnitv *»
So far, he said, the volume has
gone up just 10 per cent above last
month's average. There has been
one rush shipment of 2600 pounds
of medical supplies to the Philip
pines, but this was carried in the
flow of normal air traffic.
Pan American during Septemoer
increased norma! schedules of five
flights daily from the mainland to
Hawaii by 11 per cent. Hancock
said, and “it has been sufficient
to fill the demand.”
In Alaska 20 extra sections have
been flown since the start of the
strike, in addition to normally
scheduled flights, the traffic man
ager pointed out Clippers flew
550,000 pounds of air cargo into
Alaska during September.
Annie Tungwenuk, of Wales was
committed to Morningside Sana
torium last Friday, having been
found insane by a jury in the U. S.
Commissioner’s Court.
The Vicki C and its skipper Arr
not Castel are scheduled to leave
today for St. Lawrence Island,
stopping at both Savoonga and
Gambell.
Fred J. Miller, well known pros
pector of the Anchorage area and
former service man, spent the
summer prospecting in the Noatak
area and returned to town this
week enroute home. He states that
he has been mining on Miller
Creek, a tributary to the Noatak
and is about 60 miles from the
Cutler River near Lucky 6 Mine.
He is very enthusiastic about the
prospects in that area and plans
to return again next year.
He stated that that country has
a big future and with roads much
progress could be made. The pos
sibility of power would mean the
building of a new country.
