EAR Establishes
Air Regulations
For Alaska
The Civil Aeronautic- Board has
announced a Special A:r Regula
tion for Alaska which will be ef
fective ns of Oct. 25th, 1949.
Air safety problems in the Ter
ritory have been of especial con
cern to the Board for some time,
the announcement stated. It was
pointed out that in Alaska the air
plane is the most suitable means
of transportation in the Territory
and in some places the only means
of communication and supply..
In these places it is noted that it
is necessary to carry fuel for the
round trip and much emergency
gear not required in domest;c op
erations. This of course reduces
the payload and is economically
unfeasible at currently established
maximums.
Due to the fact that many Alas
kan operators have reinforced
structure and more powerful en
gines installed in their older model
planes the Board plans to deicr
m;ne the maximum authorized
weight by the sum of the following
factors:
1— Weight empty of the airplane
as equipped:
2— Actual weight of the maxi
mum fuel and oil capacity of the
airplane;
3— Weight of number of persons
fbr whom seats are provided at 170
pounds per person:
4— Weight of maximum allow
able baggage.
In determining the maximum
authorized weight the Adminis
trator shall also consider the struc
tural soundness of the airplane
and the terrain to be travelsed.
The maximum authorized weight
to be determined shall be added to
are aircraft’s operation limitations
and identified as maximum weight
authorized for the operation with
in the Territory of Alaska.

I _
BUENOS AIRES, (/P> — Argen
| tina today devalued her money 46
per cent in relation to the dollar.
The effect was to make the U. S
dollar bring 84.6 per cent more
pesos than it did before for trav
elers and for certain services. The
rates for exports and imports were
realigned less drastically.
The rate was fixed at nine pesos
to the dollar, compared with the
old rate of 4.875. The peso was de
valued to 25.20 to the British
pound instead of the old rate of
19.37.
This South American nation
also suspended all imports at least
temporarily.
The Central Bank put intj ef
fect the reshuffled exchange ra‘es.
It also issued a 30-page list of
items which be exported but said
the method of asking for import
permits will be set up later.

PRAGUE BANS
GERMAN GRAVE MARKERS
PRAGUE, (/P)—The Prague city
administration has dug up an old
order that German inscriptions on
tombstones must be removed, and
announced that removal must be
done by the end of this year ex
cept where removing the lettering
would deface other art work on
the grave stones.
The order was issued shortly
after liberation in 1945, when
feeling against the Sudeten Ger
mans and every other kind of Ger
man ran high. German inscrip
tions were to bo replaced by
Czech. But, like all orders, en
forcement lagged. Recently the
question was renewed and the
Prague council decided it must be
obeyed.
