ATA Head Proposes
Special Air Rates To
Promote Alaska Sea Fc: is
WASHINGTON, (>P) —Creation
of a special promotional rate, to
encourage development of an Al
aska to UjS. air movement of
seafoods was suggested Monday
by Amos F. Heacock, president of
Air Transport Associates, Inc.
The non-scheduled airline presi
dent was on the stand throughout
the day as hearings resumed on
a Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)
study of present passenger fares
and cargo rates between the Pa
cific Northwest and Alaska.
Heacock suggested that a rate
of five cents a pound for seafood
could be justified to promote such
traffic. Although the rate would
be considerably under present op
erations costs, seafood shipments
— if developed — would provide
cargo for planes which now fly
south largely empty.
The low rate would be only
temporary and would be revised
upward after markets have been
proved, thereby enabling an even
tual lowering of the northbound
rate, Heacock declared.
The ATA president said he felt
seafoods offered the best possib
ility for the development of south
bound cargo. Fur shipments
would be too seasonal and min
eral concentrates would not be
sufficiently perishable to require
•air handling.
Among the seafoods which he
mentioned as possibilities were
crab, clams, halibut, salmon and
shea fish.

Broadcasting Co. Sets Up
$250 Annual Scholarship
A scholarship at the University
of Alaska’ “open to anyone from

by William J. Wagner, president
of the Alaska Broadcasting Sys

ial University.
In his letter to the University
offering the scholarship William
J. Wagner said, “Our Territorial
institution of higher learning de
serves to be better known
0
throughout Alaska. It is an ex
cellent school and growing in
character each year. It deserves
to be better attended by Alaskan
citizens. These are the major rea
sons why I have established the
William J. Wagner scholarship of
$250 per year.”
With your permission I shall
add $1,000 in radio time to pub
licize the University,” Wagner
wrote Dr. Moore.
An essay contest of not more
than 200 words on “Why I’d like
to attend the University of Alas
ka” will determine the winner of
the scholarship. The essay letter
may be mailed to any of the six
stations of the Alaska Broadcast
ing System in Alaska and shall
bear a postmark before midnight
of September 15.
