BARTLETT URGES
BOARD NOT APPROVE
FREIGHT RATE R53E
Delegate “Bob” Bartlett has
urged the Federal Maritime
Board not to approve the 10
percent freight rate increase
filed by the Alaska Steamship
Company and Coastwise Lines
or any rate increase at all,
pending thorough-going exam
ination of all factors involved.
“The increase, to be effective
February 10,” Delegate Bart
lett declared, “will be infla
tionary, hurtful to the Alaska
economy, directly opposite to
the stabilized economy which
the administration has an
nounced is in being and will
add greatly to the cost-of-liv
ing for the consuming public
of Alaska.”
One in every five Americans
will eventually have cancer. Am
erican Cancer Society statisticians
