It’s Losing Money
Mauling Groceries
I SEATTLE OP* — An Alaska ;
j Steamship Co. official indicated at I
| a Maritime Commission hearing i ,
| here Wednesday the line is losing j j
money on grocery shipments to j ]
Southeast Alaska and “something ,
has to be done."
The statement was made by j.
Robert Rose, assistant general ,
manager, in describing Alaska
Steam’s over-all operations. (
Rose was the first of 10 wit- j
nesses the company said it intends ;
to call in support of freight rate \
increases which went into effect
'pril 18. They have been protested ,
by the State of Alaska. General <
Services Administration, Bureau of ,
Commercial Fisheries and others.
A new tariff filed by Alaska ,
j Steam last Dec. 18 raised rates 10 .
! or cent on all freight shipped to }
die Alaska Peninsula and Bering ,
Sea ports, including Bethel, Nome \
and Kotzebue. In addition it upped .
rates 10 per cent for southbound
shipments of canned salmon from [
Alaska and 20 per Cent fur all
supplies to various canneries.
Rose, in reviewing Alaska
Steam’s service to and from the
49th State, told hearing examiner
A. L. Jordan of Washington, D.C.,
his company was concerned over
loss of revenue on grocery ship
ments to Southeast Alaska.
"In my opinion something has
to be done,” Rose said.
He said Alaska Steam cut its
rates to meet competition from
Griffiths Freight Lines, which was
barging groceries to the Alaska
Panhandle from Seattle for about
22 per cent less than the shipping
line. Griffiths quit the common
earner business last June, but
Alaska Steam’s lower rates have
remained in effect on shipments to
Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Wran
gell and Petersburg,
In protesting the rate increases
which became effective April 18,
the State of Alaska contended they
were not justifiable. The state said
{•they brought Alaska Steam more
< than a reasonable rate of return
] on rts investment and put an undue
t burden on Alaska consumers and
shippers.

Conflict Is Where
.Nobody Lives
NEW DELHI, India iJf* — Th<
a cart of the India - China border
'onflict is a place where nobody
ives. Because nobody has ever
ived there, historians are vague
m who owns it.
The place. Eastern Ladakh,
iighest and bleakest terrain in the
vorld.
Both India and China claim it
Communist China was willing to
ight for it. On Oct. 20. it launched
m all-out offensive against India
o secure its claim.
The eastern part of Ladakh, ly
ng behind the Himalayas, in
dudes part of the second highest
Mountain range, the Karakaroms.
Tile Chinese cease-fire procla
mation that halted the undeclared
war with India Nov. 21 said Com
nunist troops would “withdraw to
ioshions 12 miles behind the line
if actual control which existed be
ween China and India on Nov. 7.
.959.”
M'rlere this line was is a dis
puted point.
Public opinion in I n d i a i
figainst accepting the Chinese ver
sion of the 1059 line.
It would give Peking 2,000
square miles captured since Oct.
20 as well as tacitly grant the
Chinese control of another 12,000
square miles,
The Ladakh region is part of
Kashmir State, disputed between
India and Pakistan.
Most of Ladakh lies behind the
UN. cease-fire line in Kashmir.
This is in Indian control,
Ladakh begins at passes 2Vi>
miles high, through the western
Himalayas. These passes are clog
ged by snow in winter.
Behind them are arid regions
Only in patches at the bottom of
some valleys of western Ladakh
is cultivation and habitation pos
sible. Eastern Ladakh is too higr?
and too arid to be viable.
The region disputed between In
[ dia and China is almost three
miles high in the desert-like val
leys and plateau oi Aksai Chin, at
the extreme eastern corner, and
even higher in the barren moun
tains. Passes are higher than
18.000 feet.
Courtship is simple among the
Panama Indians. If a girl offers
you her loin cloth, that’s a sign
>he likes you. If you accept it,
you’re married.
