ceries, courtesy of the U.S. Merc.
Walter Nayakuk, who came from

that no teams were expected from

prize money was not known and
It was costly to fly the teams in.
Teams are expected from Golo

NORTHWEST ASKS CAB
TO KEEP ALASKA FLIGHT
SEATTLE UP) — Northwest
Orient Airlines has asked the Civil
Aeronautics Board to exclude from
the Board’s Alaska air sendee in
vestigation any issue dealing with
the possible elimination of North
west’s Seattle-Anchorage “turn
around” service.
The Board included in its order
of investigation issued March 19
a suggestion that Northwest be
prevented from operating such
flights. Service to Anchorage, in
stead, would be lifted to through
flights to the Orient.
Northwest insisted there “is no
warrant in the (Civil Aeronautics)
act to take route rights and reve
nues from Northwest for the sole
purpose of giving them a carrier
(Pacific Northern Airlines) that has
been unable to adequately serve
the market on a self-sufficient
basis.”
Northwest carries more than 85
per cent of its Pacific Northwest
Anchorage passengers on turn
around flights. It said the pro
posal would cost it $1.5 million
annually in revenue.
