Dramatic America - Asia
Air Cargo Growth Seen
An annual growth rate of more
than 20 per cent in air cargo traf
fic between North America and
Asia during the next 15 years is
predicted in a new market study
sponsored by The Boeing Com
pany.
The report, prepared by the
University of Washington College
of Business Administration, points
out that this rapid growth rate
is predicted on the continued ef
fort of the air cargo industry to
penetrate surface transportation
markets. The growth rate also de
pends on the introduction of more
efficient, modern equipment such
as the Boeing 707-320C cargo jet
and on gradual lowering of
ton/mile rates.
With the continuing growth of
gross national product and the
rising standard of living both in
North America and in Asia, over
all trade between these areas will
continue to grow at an average
annual rate of 4.0 to 4 5 per cent
during the next fifteen years, the
report reveals.

Gitzhoffen Found
Frozen to Death
FAIRBANKS — The body
of a man who missed survival
by a few yards was found Friday
| in the frozen arctic.
The victim, Roy A. Gitzhoffen,
i about 54, of Los Angeles, was re
turned to Fairbanks.
He had been missing in the
arctic about 400 air miles north of
Fairbanks since Monday.
Officials said he refused to go
aboard a plane Monday which was
flying employes of an exploration
company here for Christmas.
Gitzhoffen declined the trip
when he could not take his lug
gage along due to weight limi
tations.
He had only to walk 100 yards
from the isolated air strip to the
remote exploration camp.
He headed in the right direc
tion but missed the camp by a
few yards, according to authori
ties. He was found a mile away.
Visibility was poor because of
blowing snow and continual arc
tic darkness.
Gitzhoffen was dressed in light
clothing and the temperature
dropped to 30 degrees below zero.
The human race is a newcomer
on his globe. . . . Geologists be
lieve man has existed only one
two-thousandths of the earth’s
history.

ka Steamship Company steam
ship SOUTHPORT, now being re
furnished and outfitted for me
chanized cargo-handling and con
tainer operations, will be renamed
ODUNA before she sails on her
next voyage, to Kodiak and
Adak.
This is the second ship of the
line to bear the name ODUNA.
The first served under the Alaska
Line flag from 1922 to 1942 when
she was requisitioned by the
United States government.
Purchased by Alaska Steam
from the Bildberg Rothchild Com
pany of New York this June, the
SOUTHPORT made two voyages
for the line this summer, helping
to lift the Alaska salmon pack.
Now as the ODUNA she has been
assigned to the Kodiak-Adak run,
J. F. Zumdieck, vice president and
general manager of the line, said.
All work on the vessel in prep
aration for her new service has
been performed by the Alaska

STEVENSON COMMENTS:
'VERY UNLIKELY' HE WILL BE
VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK
BLOOMINGTON, Illinois — Ad
lai Stevenson dismissed the pos
sibility that he would be President
Johnson’s running mate next
year. He said it is “very unlikely”
that Johnson will want him.
In a visit to Bloomington, Illi
nois, Stevenson repeated to news
men his willingness to run if
asked. He said:
“I would want to do whatever
he wished.” But he added about
running for Vice President, “I
can’t say that this is a burning
ambition with me.”
