Biggest
Aviation
'Mystery'
SEATTLE, Jan. 11—tffi—One of
the biggest “mysteries" in Seattle
commercial aviation circles these
winter days concerns the Civil
Aeronautics Board’s Alaska service
case.
More than a year ago, William F.
Cusick, a C.A.B. examiner, recom
mended to the board that additional
scheduled air service between Se
attle and Alaska be approved to ac
commodate the rapidly expanding
passenger and cargo traffic between
SeSttle and the territory.
The “mystery," Alaskans say, is
why the board has not yet an
nounced a decision on a case which
is important not only to the Pa
cific Northwest and Alaska but to
the entire national defense effort.
The board, in a series of exemp
tion orders the past two years, has
confirmed the need for additional
scheduled air service to the terri
tory. It permitted Pan American
World Airways to fly directly to An
chorage during the height of the
1950 fishing season, and it also ap
proved direct flights of Pacific
Northern Airlines from Juneau to
Seattle.
The decision was expected last
May, in time for the carriers to
ready plans for the heavy traffic of
the summer. Now airline officials
hope for an announcement before
this spring, so they can plan for the
1951 summer haul.
TOKYO, Jan. 10—!£>—Censorship
is throwing a black curtain around
news of the tremendous pullback of
United Nations forces in Korea.
Field censors have clipped large
chunks out of dispatches on the
grounds of military security. Some
Associated Press stories have ar
rived in Tokyo minus their first j
and most important paragraph.
Correspondents are not permitted
to use the word "retreat” in connec
tion with the pullback. Security
officers in Tokyo say this is planned
and orderly withdrawal—not a re
treat in the face of Red China’s
overwhelming manpower.
(Webster’s unabridged dictionary |
says "... a retreat is properly and
orderly march, in which circum- '
stances it differs from a flight, rout,
etc.”) *

IT IS THE SPIRIT of Youth speaking ... the spirit of Youth re
surgent in the minds and hearts of all good Americans stimulated by
the arrival of another New Year with its promise and its problems.
THE PROBLEMS ARE GRAVE, striking directly at the freedoms in^der
which this nation and its people have flourished ... the freedoms to which all the
world aspires ... the freedoms that can mean eternal peace.
AND THUS . . . DURING 1951 . . . we are invol/ed in a two-fold task. Our defenses must be
strengthened to forestall envious powers that do not hesitate to use armed force in their efforts to
destroy our way of life. Our progressive, flourishing economy must be maintained as always to fu -
fill our basic aim which is to make life better for all.
NEVEB IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA has the resourcefulness, initiative, ingenuity
' and unity of our free people failed to cope successfully with each new problem as it has arisen Never
have we failed to make each New Year carry us . . . and the world . . . another stride forward along
h the road to progress ... no matter what obstacles had to be surmounted.
H •
Xey U Ptoyiei
THE KEY TO PROGRESS DURING 1951, typified by the
spirit of Youth resurgent in the New Year, will be found in our
unified acceptance of the two-fold challenge . . . confident that our
vast productive capacities can furnish us and our defense program
too, with everything we need . . .
PROVIDING EACH OF US
resolves to make every hour of
effort we expend at our allotted
tasks the most productive
of which we are capable!
