addressed to President Truman, to
Congress, and also Secretary of

and place it in the hands of his
office, and vetoes a bill purely of
local concern. Asks that the gov

southeastern Alaska, fishing sur
veys, investigation into agricul

the needs of the district so that
plans can be made accordingly.
The colonel stated that he will
return to Nome about May first,
and will be pleased to receive any
and all suggestions at that time.

Alaska Airline’s progressivene'-s
was again manifested recently
with with the inauguration of a

fares it was further announced by

fect which makes it possible for
Alaska Airlines patrons to have a
