Pacific Service
A major milestone in flying the i
Pacific was celebrated by the Pa
cific-Alaska Division of Pan
, American World Airways on No
vember 22—exactly fifteen years
after the first Clipper left the U.
S. on the inaugural commercial1
flight across the ocean to Hawaii
and the Orient.
On November 22, 1935, the
“China Clipper,” a Martin flying
boat, took off from the waters of
San Francisco Bay. More than
125,000 persons watched from van
tage points around the Golden
Gate. •
The China Clipper reac hed
Honolulu 21 hours later. It land-:
ed on Manila Bay in the Philip
pines six days out of San Francis
co—phenomenal speed 15 years
ago.
Word flashed around the world
that the first commercial aerial
crossing of a major ocean had
been completed successfully.
On November 22, 1950, cakes
bearing 15 candles, symbolic erf
fifteen years of continued prog
ress were cut in all Clippers aloft!
at the time, and in all the stations
and bases along the airline’s far- 1
fluncr Pacific routes.
o
In 1935 service started with one
flight a week across the Pacific.
In 1950 a total of 16 flights a week
soar out over the ocean.
Instead of 21 horurs flying time |
to Hawaii from the Mainland, the j
time is nine hours.
Instead of the 106 passengers
transported in the first year of ,
passenger operations, more than i
fifty thousand a year are now
-carried.

,Sen. Hunt Will Try
S To Cut High Cost of
| Alaska Defenses
(Continued from Page One)
examine the multi-million dollar
defense efforts underway in this
U. S. territory nearest Soviet Rus
sia.
“Considering living conditions
! and the climate, we found the mo
i
i rale of our fighting forces very
high,” Hunt said. “We also found
out that unification of the armed
services appeared to be working
very well.”
He reported fair progress on
construction and operation of a
huge radar net. On the other hand,
Hunt said theer appeared to “be
need of a coordinator for all the;
government agencies on the mili
tary construction programs under
way.” 1
I
Some careful advance planning;
among all interests early in Janu- j
ary or February of each year
probably could speed up defense
projects and reduce cost, he add
ed. I
“Strikes, high costs of materials
I and labor and material shortages
I have delayed some projects be
! yond the short season when work
j can be done,” he said.
“Transportation by the Alaska
Steamship Company also has
been very costly.”
As a result, Hunt said, military
personnel often is quart e r e d :
l through the frigid winters in tem
porary metal and canvas housing
left over from World War II.
“Many officers and men are j
forced to rent quarters,” he said.!
‘-The rents are terrific and the ac
commodations they get are terri
ble.”
