'Bush Pilots'
Fo Operate,
New Orders
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17— i* —
Alaskan "bush pilots” will be per
mitted to operate for five years
without Civil Aeronautics Board
regulations, Delegate Bartlett of
Alaska says.
An order of the CAB exempting
pilot-owners from regulation, he
?aid, will be issued this week, ef
fective until Dec. 31, 1956.
Bartlett said he was advised by
Chairman Donald W. Nyrop of the
CAB that the new regulation will
provide that:
A pilot-owner who holds a com
mercial or airline pilot’s license may
operate nis own plane with a cap
acity of not more than four pas
sengers, without regulation.
He added, in a statement, how
ever, that the owner pilot will be
required to obtain a non-sched
ulcd air carrier operating certifi
cate from the Board.
Bartlett said the board’s new rul
ing will state:
“Few complaints regarding the
operation of the pilot owners have
been received from the general pub
lic or, with one exception from the
certified carriers. Experience has
shown that the certified carriers do
not have the facilities to perform all
needed ’bush’ operations, and that
with growing defense needs in Al
aska and the difficulty of aircraft
replacement the equipment of pilot
owners in air transportation is es
sential to supplement the opera
tions of the certified carriers.
“Moreover, it appears that the di
version of revenue from the certifi
cated 'carriers is not economically
significant and the pilot-owners are,
in the main, operating within their
jurisdiction. Heretofore, the exemp
tion permission to the Alaskan pilot
owners had been extended on a year
to-year basis. It now appears to the
board that th need for the supple
mentary service will undoubtedly
continue to exist for the next several
years and that consequently the ex
tension of the operating authority
should be continued for a period of
five years.”
OPERATION AUTHORITY
WASHINGTON— (#> —The Civil
Aeronautics Board today renewed
the operating authority of Alaska's
"bush-pilots” for a full five years
These airmen own and fly their
own craft in the territory, largely
serving outlying communities and
remote settlements inaccessable tc
scheduled operators.
The board first gave the pilot
owners in Alaska authority to con
duct such irregular operations early
in 1948 and since has renewed these
permits on a year-to-year basis. The
action providing a five-year author
ity was recognition of the fact that
a specific need has been developed
for this type of emergency and cas
ual service in the area.
Carrier Crews
Now Trained for
Atomic Bombing
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17— Ml —
Adm. William Fechteler said today
the Navy now has carrier crews
trained to handle atomic bombs.
He said this includes both men in
the ship crews and those who fly
the carrier planes.
The Chief of Naval operations told
a news conference that the planes
would be used for “tactical opera
tions of the fleet (against- naval
targets ashore or afloat).
He said the navy already has twc
types of planes which can operate
off a carrier and carry atomic
bombs. They are the AJ attack plane
and the P2V Neptune patrol bomber
The navy started practicing with
the use of simulated atomic bombs in
exercises last spring and will use
them again in the current exercises
which started in the Atlantic yes
terday, Fechteler said.
During the last year, the nucleai
fission weapon experts have report
edly developed a compact size atomic
bomb which can be handled in com
paratively small planes. Thus they
could be used in carrier based a:
well as light bombers and possibly
fighters of the air force.

Ridgway Ready
For Resumption
Cease-Fire Talks
TOKYO, Tuesday, — (#> —Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway notified the
Communist high command Monday
lie was still ready to resume cease
fire negotiations broken off by the
Reds.
However the supreme allied com
mander made a 12-hour flying trip
to Korea to confer with his Eighth
Army commander, Gen. James A.
1 Van Fleet, in case his offer was
again rejected.
He also saw British common
j wealth division commanders before
I he returned to Tokyo Monday night.
Ridgway’s terse message to the
Reds made no mention of Kaesong,
which he previously had declared
unacceptable for further armis
tice talks.
Ridgway’s headquarters at mid
night described the supreme com
j mander’s trip to Korea and return
as “routine.”
However, the gravity of the mili
tary situation in Korea has been
increasing for days. The Reds have
been concentrating strongly on the
western front and a Red offensive
there was considered very possible
if not probable.
Small Nations
Want Bigger
Voice in NATO
By JOHN M. niGIITOWER
OTTAWA, Sept. 17— —Small
nation members today were reported
demanding a greater voice in major
policy decisions of the North Atlan
tic Council.
A Canadian source, linking the de
mands of the current controversy
over Greek-Turkish membership in
the alliance, said it seemed certain
some “custom” would have to be
established to give the smaller na
tions greater power in the early stag
es 01 policy making.
Some of the heat was expected
to be taken off the big nations—
America, Britain, France—by ex
pected agreement on plans to ex
pand the work of the treaty or
ganization into political and ec
onomic as well as military fields.
This has been a primary concern
of both Canada and western Eu
ropean countries.
As the council went into its fourth
closed door session, the Canadian
informant, forbidding use of his
name, suggested some such relation
ship as exists among the nations of
the British commonwealth might
provide the answer for the problem
of the small nations in NATO—some
of which evidently feel they are too
often called on to rubber-stamp
approval of major powers decisions.
This feeling is sharper than us
ual at present because the United
States has pressed hard against
small nation opposition for a fav
orable decision on its proposal that
Greece and Turkey be admitted to
membership. The Danish and Nor
wegian delegations, the final ob
jectors are expected to go along in
the end but only after making clear
their dislike of the whole project
to the council.

QUARTERS, Korea, Sept. 17—(fl—
A North Korean battalion was
slashed by allied artillery late Mon
day after faling to gain In a series
of wild counterattacks on the east
central front.
In all-day fighting, the Reds got
as far as a saddle between a Red
held hill and an allied-held height.
The allies have dubbed the loca
tion north of Yanggu "heartbreak
ridge” because of the many attacks
and counterattacks there.
As the Reds fell back down a
trail toward the southwest., they
came under heavy artillery fire.
An allied officer said results were
"excellent.” It was not known how
many, if any, of the enemy escaped.
On the western front, allied troops
supported by heavy artillery fire
seized control of a hill northwest
of Chorwon. The Reds withdrew
after a two-hour battle, then fired
artillery onto the hill.
Patrols clashed at several points
along this front. Allied air observors
reported a decrease in enemy activ
ity, particularly vehicle movements.
Cold rains sweeping across the
peninsula brought allied air attacks
to a virtual standstill.
The Red counterattacks in the
east began in the light of a nearly
full moon.

Taku Road Report
Given at Lions Meet
The proposed Taku road was
discussed at a regular Lions club
meeting at the Baranof Hotel
Monday noon. Chamber of Com
merce Secretary F. O. Eastaugh
and road committee chairman Jer
ry McKinley outlined the history
and progress of the project.
McKinley estimated that the
cost of the road 50 miles from
here to the Canadian boundary
would be approximately $5,000,000.
He pointed out that the Taku was
a natural pass through the coast
range. He stressed the commercial
values that would follow as a re
sult of a road connection to a
highway system.
Eastaugh reported that British
Columbia had made an aerial sur
vey of the old Telegraph Trail
route north from Hazelton up the
j Rocky mountain trench to Atlin
! irom a standpoint of development
| of forest and mining resources.
He said that the Chamber con
tinued to press for an extension
I of the Glacier Highway to Berners
| Bay on the east side of Lynn Can
al and an extension from Haines
south on the opposite side that
could be serviced by a short haul
ferry.
Eastaugh pointed out that Cor
dova had put out a brochure on its
projected road connection with the
Richardson Highway and had suc
ceeded in getting a survey made.

Second Pink Sun
Makes Poor Showing
Says C. H. Baltzo
The second pink salmon run on
the West Coast of Prince of Wales
Island is very sparse, C. Howard
Baltzo, assistant regional director
of the Fish and Wildlife Service said
this morning.
Rumors had stated that the run
was good, but surveys carried out
by Bob Baade, service agent, found
them to be untrue, Baltzo stated.
This was the run on which pacKers
; and fishermen had asked extension
of the recent seining season.
Baltzo said, however, there was a
good run of chums and probably
some of the reports of the big pink
run • were based on the showing of
chums. ,
He said chums were fairly abund
ant at Tuexhan, El Capltan Pass
and Tlevak Narrows, all on the west
coast of Prince of Wales and at
Klawock Creek and are also appar
ently starting to show on Cholmon

Talks Given
By Truman
Says Bolshevik Agree
ment Not Worth Paper
Its Written On
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17— 1*1 —
President Truman, In two lively
speeches today, lashed out at Rus
sian dictatorship abroad and politi
cal maneuvering at home.
He also assailed what he called
the “slick'’ magazine publishers for
enjoying “juicy subsidies” on mail
rates while opposing government
subsidies for every one else.
In his first address at the Library
of Congress, he called Russian so
ciety a “jungle” and said through It
"the naked power of the government
prowls like a beast of prey, making
all men afraid.”
Mr. Truman’s second speech was
delivered to the National .Jtssocla
tion of Postmasters, assembled in
Constitution Hall. He told them a
lot of people “are trying to make
political capital” by attacking the
loyalty of government workers. Ha
said it was “a contemptible way to
get votes.”
The President aronsed cheers
from the postmasters as he attack
ed his opposition in a maner rem
Inrscent of his “given ’em hell’
campaign of 1948. He even added a
teaser on whether he might ran
again neat year.
He referred to a new kind of light
motor vehicle appearing In subur
ban districts and said, "If I ever
get retired from the Presidency I'm
going to get one of these machines
to ride around In.”
Mr. Truman's first appearance was
Rt a ceremony in which the United
States Constitution and the Declar
ation of Independence were enshrin
ed at the Library in new protective
cases to preserve them for centuries.
In his attack on the Soviet Un
ion, tyfr. Truman saic\ Soviet Con
stitutional guarantees are “just as
false as their treaty agreement*.’’
It was a departure from his pre
pared text.
"A Bolshevik agreement is not
worth the paper it is written on,” he
said. “It is only a scrap of paper."
