Probably Friday

lima will announce, probably about
Friday, whether he will accept the

night issued statement that Mr..
Reynolds was undecided on accept

his statement. At the hospital 1t
was said his physician had banned
visitors and telephone facilities were
not available in the rooms. Mr.
Mcdonald said the Senator's condi-
ton was fine. however, and that he
would probably be able to leave
about the first Of next week.
Reynolds Learns Time Required.
In his statement through Mr.. Nc
Donald last night, Senator Reynolds
admitted that when the matter OF
the District Committee chairman
ship was first suggested to him, he
had decided to take it, "but after
making some inquiries as to the
amount of time it would require he
now was forced to take it under ad-
visement." In that connection he
referred to the amount of time re-
quired in his capacity as member
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
the Military Affairs Committee, and
the Committee on Territories and
Insular Affairs.

A|RTRAvEL IN ALASKA
 INCREASES
Territorial AirIines Serve Third More Passengers
 This Year than Last

Air travel and all phases of com nercial aviation within the Terri cry of Alaska showed tremendous increases during the year which nded June 30 of this year, it was evealed today with the release of he annual report on Alaskan air raft operations, compiled by the Alaska Aeronautics and Communi- ations Commission, with head ,uarters here.
 The report showed that a third aore passengers were carried by irlines within the Territory dur ng the past year than in the year which ended in June of l940. and hat planes made a third more
 ips in carrying them.
 Largest increase during the past ear was in passenger miles travel d by Alaskan planes, which in ;reased 2,172,250 miles, or 37 per ;ent. over the passenger-miles flown n the year ending June 30 l940. Total miles flown by Alaskan planes increased 844,30O miles, or B per ,ent.
 Mere Miles Flown
 Passengers carried increased l0,- 268, or B per cent, while the in crease in pounds of freight carried by plane was 63l, 1856 pounds, or l4 per cent, and pounds of mail within the Territory increased 9l,19O pounds, or IT per cent. There were 4,780 more trips made by planes on commercial runs than in the prev ious year, which represents an in- crease of B per cent and the in- crease in the number of hours flown was 7,943 hours, or 24 per cent.
 The report was made up from statistics furnished by 30 commer- cial aeronautical operators in the Territory during the past year. The report contains statistics filed by seven commercial operators, whose operations have not been included in former reports, two of these having started commercial opera tions within the year. There were, however, two operators who prev iously reported their operations, who have withdrawn from active commercial service during the year.
 Reasons for Increase
 The inauguration of scheduled airline operations to and from the United States and Alaska is be- lieved responsible for much of the increase ot ar trattic within the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-08-26

Territory during the year. Persons flying from the states to Alaska in most cases continue on one of the Territorial airlines to their des- tination, it is, found
 Another reason advanced for the increased air transportation is the heavy boat travel to and from de- fense bases in the Territory during the past year, which at times has made it almost impossible to obtain ship reservations. Due to the reg ular service, contractors and busi- ness executives are now able to make short, hurried inspection trips to their operations in Alaska, which was previously impossible due to the time required in travel by boat.
 Travel From States
 During the past year 697 persons came to Alaska by air from the states and TIC travelled from AL aska to the states on planes. There were 33.893 pounds of airmail sent from Alaska to the states, while 35, ,683 pounds came here from the states. There were six tons of air express brought to Alaska from the states during the year, compared to only a half-ton sent from Alaska.
 In checking over the air trans pcrtation within the T Territo month by month, it is seen that the greatest average increase in operations came in the months of August and October, while the smallest average increases were recorded in the months of Novem- her and April.

 There was no room for his horse at the St. Francis-one died in Mississippi snowstorm December 3l, '940-so the gaucho-dressed traveller remounted and rode on out to St. Francis Riding Club, where he was later officially welcomed by Mayor RosSi.

RECISTRANTS GET WARNING BY GOVERNOR
Must Have Certificates in Possession at All Times
 Says Gruening

Selective Service regulations make it mandatory for every registrant to have his registration certificate in his possession at all times and to display it upon request of proper authorities, Gov Ernest Gruening today warned all Alaska registrants.
 Gov. Gruening pointed out that the regulations provide:
 The registrant must have his registration certificate in his per sonal possession at all times and, upon request. must exhibit it to any law enforcement officer, any Selective Service official of Na- tional Headquarters or of State Headquarters, or any member of the local board or board of ap- peal" MG
 Failure of registrant to have his registration certificate in his personal possession, or to exhibit it upon request of authorized per- sons, constitutes a violation of the regulations and, in addition, shall be construed as 'prima facie evi- dence of his failure to register. Coz. Gruening said.
 Gov Gruening also called to at tention that regulations pertaining to late registration make it com pulsory that, Every person subject to registration who for any reason failed to register on the day fixed by the President for his registra- tion must present himself for and submit to registration before To- cal board"
 This means" the Governor en- phasized, that every person sua- ject to registration on January p, 1941, or July l. 194l, must register if he has not already done SO Governor Gruening declared.
 Violation of the regulations may cause a delinquent to be penalized by fine or Imprisonment or both, it is pointed out.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

by IHOhNION w. bUHGESS.
For few minutes after his tumble
from the tall tree, from the top of
which he had tried to shake Prickly
Porky, Buster Bear lay still. You
see, that tumble had knocked all
the wind out of him. He blinked
his eyes and gasped for breath
When at last he got his breath he
scrambled to his feet and felt him.
self all over. He was sore. OF
course, he was sore, One cannot fall
from the top of a tree without being
sore. He felt as if there wasn't a
place on him which hadn't been
bumped. But he soon found that
no real harm had been done and
straightway he became angrier than
ever. He was in a terrible rage, was
Buster Bear.
1t was bad enough to have din
ner almost within reach and not be
aole to get it. That was made
worse by getting such tumble. But
to have that tumble seen by Sammy
Jay and Blacky Crow and all
Blacky's relatives made it still worse.
No one likes to be laughed at and
Buster Bear was being laughed at
now. 1t seemed as if those crows
and Sammy Jay certainly would
laugh themselves sick. So Buster
Bear flew into such a rage that he
was terrible to see. He was so ter
rible to see that his tormentors
stopped laughing.
Buster Bear roared with anger
He tore branches from the nearest
trees and threw them about. He
was a sight to see, dreadful sight.
But despite all his rage he was wise
enough not to climb that tree again
after Prickly Porky BY and by his
anger cooled a little. Little by
little, he felt how foolish he had
been to give way to anger. Then
he sat down and glared up at the
top of the tree where Prickly Porky
was clinging. He knew it was per-
fectly useless to try to get Prickly
Porky up there. There was nothing
to do but to wait for Prickly Porky
to come down
"All right, Mr.. Prickly Porky," he
growled in his deepest, most grum-
bly,, rulmbly voice "All right, Mr..
Prickly Porky, you are safe up there,
but you can't stay there forever.
You'll have to come down some time
and when you do you'll find me
waiting right here. I've done with
out food all winter and 1 guess I
can stand it little longer"
So Buster Bear began to walk
round and round that tall tree in
which Prickly Porky was. You see,
he couldn't sit still. He just had to
be moving. Round and round,
round and round, he walked, every
now and then stopping to look up
at Prickly Porky and growl at him.
Buster had quite forgotten that
Prickly Porky wouldn't have to come
down for food. At least he wouldn't
have to come down for some DAYS
because he could eat the bark of
that tree. and there was enough of
that to last him for a long, long
time.
