inently in Pan-American's round-the-world routes.
 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer makes the point aptly when it says:
 "The aircraft proposed by Pan-American and the postoffce department are of the multi-motor type with sufficient cruising radius to make the trip without flying the territory of any other nation, and to do it with adequate margin of safety.
 This implies no disposition to cold-shouder our friendly Canadian neighbors, by disdaning to fly over their soil But it is matter of common know ledge that commercial aviation services closely tied in with the governments of their own nations, are engaged today in a world for the development of air routes Britain's Imperial Arways is of these. Evidently Pan-Amercan feels that it is in
 position to develop air routes in this section of the hemisphere without being required to make any deals with competing lines or the governments backing them And this attitude of sturdy independence points to program that will go much farther than the Seate-Juneau service proposed for the immediate future.
 "The strategic position of Alaska either for flights westward to Asia or northward across the Pole Eu rope has been sufficiently demonstrated in recent years to argue the feasibility of commercial air ices over such routes in the future"
 While the flights now starting between Juneau and Seattle of major importance to the Territory meaning the beginning of air mail and passenger service with the States in the very future, it is only the forerunner of what we will see in the next few years in aerial development It isn't visionary to picture Juneau regular airport of call air route that will circle the globe great clipper ships coming in here regular schedules-up from the States via Seattle and down from Nome after the hop across from Siberia It actuality which will be with us much sooner than some of us suspect

READY FOR PERRY

Value of the Mendenhal rifle range of the major points of recreation in this community Is generally recognized, but it has been more clearly emphasized than in the selection of the team which will represent Alaska at the national rifle matches in Camp Perry It will be noted in the news account appearing in yesterdays Empire that all but four of the 13 composing the team to to Perry are from Juneau Four from Seward. No other com munties in the Territory are represented. The answer as the team members themselves point out is facilities.
 It goes without saying that Juneau can boast of some crack rifle shots who can hold their in any company, but for three years they have had one of the finest ranges the nation to practice on they quick to stress. Came the announcement that Alaska invited to participate in the Camp Perry matches Rifle clubs and individuals interested in shooting throughout the Territory notified But unfortunately for many men who probably would have liked to compete, they were not located near rifle range Fairbanks forced to notify the team organizer that it's rflemen would be unable compete due to lack of a range Other towns in the Territory up against similar diffculties-lack of facilities for shooting. Only riflemen in Seward aside from Juneau were able to get into the qualify ing rounds because they didn't have the necessary courses to shoot over.
 Juneau is mighty fortunate to have Mendenha rifle range as is clearly emphasized in this instance It the outstanding recreational assets of this community. Not only does it afford facilities for local rifle and pistol enthusiasts but it is great attraction for visiting riflemen such as Army Navy and Coast Guard who have declared of the best ranges they have used, and the service teams get around to great many ranges in their travels.
 
 It is signal honor which has fallen to Alaska to be invited to the Camp Perry matches Not in Is years has the Territory been represented But the team personnel and yesterday reveal that it is going be well represented when the rifles start sounding down at the national matches August 21. Our Alaskans may not carry off top honors, shooting in competition with the of the rifle of America, but guess is that they will give account of themselves which they as well as the rest of us at home well be proud of. At any rate, here's luck boys

Alaska's Temporary Handicap
Fairbanks News-Miner)


 Alaskas intrepid pioneering commercial aviators flying the Terrorys stretches for years without aid of a single government arway beacon few and often intermediate emergency fields, very limited and spare weather services communications operate under vast handicap compared to the lavish serv- ices enjoyed by Americas tranScontinental arllners.
 Alaska with plane routes rvaling in distance those of the States, deserves-as the most air-mnded portion of America, facilities equal to those in any part of the world.
 And right here is the reason that every possible effort should be made by every Federal and Terri toral agency, backed by the next legislature, and all organza tUns in the Territory in cooperation with the Federal government in giving Alaska's aviators and airtraveling public aerial navigation facilities second to none
 The Alaska Aeronautics and Communications Commission is working the problem. Right now it is struggling along with meager fund of only some $40000. The need of large such the $2000000 which already has been proposed to Congress, is urgent.
 Read here, portion of advertisement of one of the transcontnenta1 American air-ines describing the aids enjoyed by one of the night-flyng airners between New York and San Francisco, and note the contrast compared to Alaska-and there see what Alaska has not but should have, and will have if all unite in a proper fight to get what the country de- serves
 The two able and experienced flight officers who fly the ship talk by radio with ground organza- tions as easily as though they were in the Weather reports from 300 meteorologiss and observ across the continent give them Knowledge of weather every mile of the airway.
 "The course the plane follows is clearly marked by the steady signal of the radio beam, And on the ground below, a chain of 250 airway beacon lights stretches like highway from coast to coast spaced by 23 well-lighted terminals and 30 intermediate landing fields.
 Thus a sleeper flight is far than just a plane in the sky It is smooth systematic operation involving millions of dollars worth of facilities and the careful attention of of experienced tech- nicians."

Dixie has been advised to have

it seems, would have their own indi-
vidual objectives, conflicting along very
few lines.
The only possible difference it
might make in G. WIS gym plans is
that the idea of ice hockey may be
abandoned by the Twenty-third and
G streets arena.
That would be because the Garden
corporation is planning a rink ice-
furnished by the adjacent Uline Ice
Co.. whose property adjoins the pro-
posed site and whose president is one
of the three officers of the Garden, who
have filed a registration application
with the Securities Exchange Com

Incidentally. the fact that such out
standing business men as M. j. Uline,
Fred Buchholz and James E. Colli-

poration is one reason why the S. E. c.
