Democrats Sure of Senate
 Control Until Al at Least
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-Demo- cratic leaders of the Senate laughed up their sleeves at the statement of William B. Hodges, Treasurer of the Republican National Committee from 1924-28, that he did not favor his party fighting merely for the re- turn to bower" in 1886.
 There's hardly any need for him to concern himself over such prop csition, they say, for it's mathe- nautical impossibility for c. O. P. to gain complete control of the gov crnment next year.
 Suppose there is complete swing from the New Deal" in 1886 and the Republicans capture both the Presi- dency and the House of Representa- tives. The Democrats still will con- trol the Senate, can't possibly be dis lodged before l941, and many be- lieve it will be 1943 before their grip can be shaken loose.
 This means, unless the Democrats in the Senate are split hopelessly, that they would have at least veto power over legislation and can con- trol the confirmation of nominations and ratification of treaties = two highly important prerogatives of that body.
 
 Political Arithmetic In 1886, nineteen seats now held by Democrats and 13 by Republicans will be contested.
 Of the 19 Democratic seats at stake, however l2 are from the south or border states with the chances against the Republicans gaining any of them. Political statisticians figure nothing short of landslide in their favor can justify Republican hopes of picking up more than three or

SERVICE
 TO FA|RB ANKS
 MAY SOON END
|. s. Peck Issues State ment Regarding Oper-
 ations of PAA

The following statement was given out by L. s. Peck of Pacific Alaska Airways yesterday in Fairbanks, with respect to the company's plans for operating this winter.
 We plan to discontinue our Fair banks, Whitehorse, Juneau service on October 31, unless there is some action taken on the airport and air mail program for Alaska before that date. The discontinuance of this service is not considered to be on a permanent basis and the company plans to reopen the service in April, 1886, if not before"
 What Public Wants
 MT. Peck stated that the results of operating the Fairbanks, Whitehorse, Juneau service for the past six months had conclusively proven that the travelling public in Alaska will give hearty patronage to the sersice and that the operation can be con- ducted with a high scheduled per- formance.
 We have completed every sched- uled trip during the past six months and have made every connection with the steamers at Juneau in both directions with one exception" MT. Peck said. 'sThis could not have been accomplished had it not been for l the radio communication rendered by the six radio stations operated by the company between Fairbanks and Juneau"
 Traffic Unprecedented
 We had larger volume of pas senger traffic on the Juneau serv- ice this summer than was antici- pated," continued MT. Peck During the inbound period in the spring and outbound period this fall our planes have been filled to capacity. The midsummer period when we operated two round-trips a week the traffic was also heavier than we expected. It is obvious, however, that the traf- fic will always be seasonal and on this account the revenue from pas sengers and express only will never be sufficient to support dependable service without a mail contract.
 Mail Contract Situation
 With regard to the mail contract situation, I believe Government of ficials in Washington are now work ing out plans for air mail service and an airport construction program for Alaska and I am of the opinion that these plans will be consummated in the near future. The demand for air mail between Juneau and Fair banks is so great and the time sav- ing is so tremendous that it would lhardly seem likely to me, that the awarding of mail contract, particu- larly now that the operation of the service has been proven on this route, could be deferred much longer. Every individual. every business and every Federal and Territorial of ficial in Alaska should be for air mail. We are most grateful to the Chambers of Commerce and many officials and individuals who have given their support to this air mail (continued on Page Seven,
