Freight Service
To Alaska
' •
(By Charles D. Watkins)
(<>P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (JP) — An in
vestigation into adequacy of air
service between the United States
and Alaska will be opened by the
civil aeronautics board Oct. 25.
The first hearing will start in
Anchorage that day, the, board
said, to receive testimony of Alas
kan interests.
Later an extensive hearing is
planned here.
William F. Cusick, examiner for
the board, will leave for Anchor
age Oct. 22 to preside at the ses
sion there.
The investigation stems from a
board order for an inquiry into
adequacy of freight air service
between the United States and
Alaska, which was expanded to
include passenger service.
More than a dozen airlines have
indicated intention to paritcipate
in the Anchorage hearings. These
include Alaska Airlines, Mount
McKinley Airway, Northern Air
lines, Wien Alaska Airlines, Alas
ka Coastal Airline, Ellis Airlines,
Northern Consolidated, Western
Airlines and small lines operating
in the Territory.
Chambers of commerce of Chi
cago, Portland, Ore., Seattle, Wn.,
and Ketchikan and Juneau have
filed petitions and will take part
in the hearings.
The Alaska development board,
the Territorial government and
the interior department also will
participate.
Cusick told a reporter the Alaska
hearing is being held to make it
easy for the Alaskan lines to fur
nish their testimony.
i CARD OF THANKS
I wish to sincerely thank the
people of the Second Division for
their support in the general elec
tion.

Dewey Receives '

em Illinois sector generally re
garded as friendly territory,
Dewey was the target of two fly
ing tomatoes. The candidate’s se
curity patrol said youngsters lob
bed the vegetables from a nearby
roof and promptly ran.
R. L .Biles, porter on the sev

ported the train also was pelted
with eggs at Beaucoup where the

“They were rotten, I know, be
cause I could smell them,” Biles
told reporters.
Dewey, in his speeches, con
tinued on his theme that only the
Republican party can convince the
world that | the United States is
not “faltering” in its search for
peace.
He urged that the American
people cast off the shackles of con
fusion and defeatism and despair”
by electing a Republican adminis

Conducting Survey
For Nat’l Guard
Lt. Col. J. D. Alexander, accom
panied by Major M. Marston and
Major M. A. Koehler, are here on
a survey of Seward Peninsula in
relation to the setting up of Na
tional Guard units.
They are meeting and inter
viewing key people in the area in
view of perfecting plans for the
eventual organization, in the near
future, of two scout battalions,
one to be in the Bering Sea area
and the other in the Arctic Circle
area.
Both battalions are planned to
be organized along modern lines.
A full scope discussion of their
plans was made at the American
Legion meeting this week.
From Nome, Col. Alexander,
who comes from Washington, D.
C,. and has headquarters in Jun
eau, will go to Kotzebue and also
the Bethel area.
In 1947, the United States had
about one telephone for every four
persons compared with one for ev
ery persons in the world as a
whole.
| Navy Develops
‘Picket’ Sutnoarine
ForfOcean Defense
(Continued from Page One)
! including the rescue of 52 downed
j aviators from enemy waters and
the bombardment of Japanese
[shore targets.
She is the first of two such pick
ets to be converted under the
naval modernization program. The
jtwo presumably will be proto
types for others which will make
| up a whole chain of pickets for
areas that may need watching.
The idea is that submarine pick
ets oan cruise into the far north
through water impossible for sur
face craft and take station on a
radar watch for strange aircraft.
At the first "sight” of approaching
planes, the sub would radio its re
port and then submerge. It would
resurface when the danger of be
ing spotted had passed.
The Tigrone was converted at
the Portsmouth, N. H., navy yard.
It is understood the conversion
included fitting her out with the
“Schnorkel,” a German-designed
breathing device which enables a
submarine to remain submerged
for virtually unlimited periods.
The Schnorkel’s breathing tube
—which features a small air in
take unit at the surface—supplies
oxygen for both crew and diesel
engines.
The device, as the Germans
proved in combat use, allows a
submarine to submerge far from
dangerous waters and steal close
to an objective without being spot
ted.
Deck guns are reported to have
been removed from the Tigrone to
allow room for installations of ex
tensive radar equipment.
The Tigrone, of a class built in
1941-42, is a 1,500-ton boat, 311
feet long. When operating on war
time patrols, she carried a crew of
about 85 men and officers. She
fitted with ten 21-inch torpedo
tubes. There was no mention of
these tubes having been removed
in the reconversion.
In her original form, she had a
surface speed of about 20 knots, a
submerged speed of about 11.
The navy announcement did not
ay to which fleet the Tigrone will
be assigned. However, the pre
sumption is that for a time at least
she will operate under the Atlan
tic command.
