State Department officials in
China, he said, have requested
Pan American Airways to fly 1000

asked the company to fly 4001

Hawaii or the West Coast, probab

emergency, loading each plane to
full capacity.

10th Anniversary
On Monday, November 15, tfu?
Airways and Air Communications
Service celebrated its tenth anni
versary. Originally established as
the army airways communica
tions system. AACS received its
present title when it was absorbed

Small groups of personnel were
assigned to Elmendorf Field, An
chorage and to Ladd field, Fair

foundation of airways communica
tions service in Alaska to prepare
for the anticipated expansion of

for the air bases and air force in '
Alaska. At present the AACS per
sonnel at Marks Field consists of
about 40 officers and enlisted men.
