WASHINGTON, (>P)—The civil'
aeronautics board today granted
an upward revision in the tem
porary mail rate for Northwest
Airlines in its transpacific opera
tions.
In lieu of the temporary rate of
85 cents per ton mile ordered last
January, which the line protested
was too low, the board set this
new schedule:
For service between Seattle,
Minneapolis and Anchorage, fifty
nine cents per airplane mile:
For service between Anchorage
and points in the Kurile Island,
Japan, Korea, the Asiatic main
land and the Philippine Islands—
$1.75 per airplane mile.
The new rates were made effec
tive as of Jan. 1, 1947 and will
apply until a final rate is deter
mined.

ROUNDUP
(By Hugh FulUrion, Jr.)
NEW YORK, (A*)—One of base
ball’s mysteries is how an ordinary
player on one team can become a
star just hy changing to another.
No explanation is offered here,
but you can point to Joe Gordon,
George McQuinn, Harry Walker
and Bob Elliott of the American
and National league all-star teams
that clash next week as prime ex
amples of such revivals. . . . Gor
don was traded away by the
Yanks after Larry MacPhail de
the club couldn’t use him; Mc
Quinn was cut loose by the Ath
letics; the Cards shuffled Walker
off to Philadelphia for Ron Nor
they, who has been helpful but
not as outstanding as Harry, and
Elliott figured in the deal, which
the Pirates acquired Billy Heman
as manager. . . . You might toss
in Rudy York, who was dealt
from the Red Sox to the White Sox
while he was being voted onto the
all-star squad.
Ben Downing, chairman of the
New York state harness racing
commission, likes to talk about
the “Good” old days when he was
a semi-pro baseball pitcher. . . .
On one occasion, Ben recalls, he
rode 84 miles on a bicycle to pitch
a doubleheader. After a few hours
sleep he pedalled 84 miles home
again and thought he was doing
all right when he was paid $5 for
the job. ... At least, nobody kept
the breakage.

clearing the way for the paper
mills must be agreed to by both
sides if it is to get through this
session of Congress.
“We are working to see if some
formula cannot be reached which
will satisfy all parties and which,
at the same time, will allow the
paper industry to go to Alaska
without further . delay,” Birtlet4
said.
“I fear it is not a proposition of
merely deferring entry of the in
dustry to Alaska for another year
if we do not do anything now.
“Representatives of one com
pany have told me that if they
cannot count on the Alaska prop
osition now they will have to
move to another area which they
have investigated.
“We cannot afford to lose this
industry. It means too much to
the whole Territory. The industry
will bring year around employ
ment to Alaska and will roughly
double the population of the re
gion. They would create a payroll
bigger than anything we now
have.”
