WASHINGTON. (AP) — Pacific
Northwest businessmen, after,
months of effort, found them
selves yesterday with two airlines
certified to fly between the north
west and Hawaii.
The sudden aerial prosperity re
sulted from Monday’s civil aero
nautics board action approving, at
President Truman’s direction Pan
American World Airways service.
The new authorization varies
from that recently given North
west Airlines in one regard.
Pan American may operate be
tween the northwest and Hawaii
only oru flights that continue be
yond the island stop. It cannot op
erate a local service.
Northwest Airlines is author-1
ized to operate a local service.
Pan American company officials
indicated in Seattle and San Fran
cisco Monday that the new service
is prepared to get under way just
as quickly as planes and crews can
be made ready. They indicated
that would be soon.
Various northwest organizations
carried out a lengthy campaign to
secure the original authorization
for a Seattle-Portland to Hawaii
direct service.
Northwest was selected over Pan
American and two other appli
cants for the original j*un. Pan
American and Uni.ed already op
erate between California and Ha
waii.

Fred Allen Starts
Campaign Against
“Give A ways”
NEW YORK. l/Vi — Fred Alien
has started a one-man radio cam
paign against the “give-away”
programs that have won millions
of listeners.
The sour radio comedian has
agreed “in self defense” to bond
his listeners up to $5,000 against
the loss of any prize they might
win by listening to some other
program.
Allen says “give-away” pro
grams “are ruining incentive for
individual talent in radio.”
Almost at the same time that
Allen was starting his campaign
Sunday night, Kenneth Crosbie, a
Bluffton, Ind., beer salesman, was
winning $30,000 in prizes from an
other show—NBS’s “Stop the Mu
sic.” Crosbiew.was sitting at home
listening to the program when his
telephone rang. He correctly iden
tified a “mystery tune” as “Tur
keys in the Treetop” and was told
he had hit the jackpot.
To start the public laughing, Al
len announced the award of myth
ical prizes on his NBC program
which included.
A genuine television set and a
saloon and bartender to go with
it; 4,000 yards or dental floss, prac
tically new; and the gangplank of
the liner Queen Mary.
Allen announced that the na
tional Surety Corporation will
guarantee his promise to reim
burse his listeners.
Alaska upon publication of “Alas
ka Now” and this was so success
ful it has been followed by a re
peat performance.
About this book. Secretary of
Interior Julius Krug has said: “To
those who are thinking about
Alaska as a home, or as a vacation
land and I hope they are legion,
Alaska Now” supplies most of
the answers. It is well worth read
ing.” This is only one of many en
thusiastic comments received by
the publishers about this book.
