Plans for operating modern Lode star transport planes on a two-hour and A5-minute schedule between Anchorage and Juneau, were dis closed today by Art Woodley of Woodley Airways, says the An chorage Times cf April 16
 Wcodley returned this week from Washington, D. C., and it was learned that he has applied for the extension of his air service to include regular service between the two largest cities of Alaska. He and Don Goodman have combined their interests in seeking certifi- cate of convenience and necessity for operations over the new route
 See Great Travel Increase
 Addition of the Juneau service to the Woodley airway system would probably bring the greatest devel- opment in aviation at Anchorage in many years. Anchorage would continue to be the base for opera

 Woodley disclosed that the Air Carrier Division of the Civil Aero nautics Authority has approved technical phases of operation be- tween Anchorage and Juneau. The approval included the equipment planned for the route. 12-Passenger Planes Two Lodestar transport planes would be used on the route, each carrying 12 passengers. These ships have a cruising speed of over 200 miles an hour and they would complete the run in two hours and AS minutes.
 Demand for the opening of this air route has been felt by aviation firms for a period of years. Many plans for operations have been made, but bringing them to a reality has been delayed pending installation of air navigation aids. The work is nearing completion at present under the construction di- vision of the CAA.
 The Lodestar planes of the new route will connect with the PAA planes at Juneau and also the AL aska Line. Northland Transporta- tion, Canadian Pacific and Cana dian National boats. The new selv- ice would make it possible to reach Anchorage from Seattle in one day, and often travellers could make connections for immediate flights to Bristol Bay, the Kuskokwim and Nome.

NEW YORK, May 19 UP)-Will
somebody please remove the flowers
and tell the mourners to 60 home?
Bill Dickey isn't going TO be buried
after all.
He's alive and kicking, he's hitting
we'll above 300 and he's scamperln
around behind the plate as though
he were just at the start of his in
credible career.
1t was sad occasion last year
when lots of people decided that
Dickey was through. There were
loud laments over his weak batting
average of PAT, people professeo
to see sins that he had slowed down
and that his rifle arm no longer
was capable of mailing base stealers
Several of the funeral orations
pointed out that he was almost the
last link with the New York Yam

Cubs four straight games in the

Lots of people were willing TO be-
Eeve that Dickey was through at
the end of the 1910 season because
the facts of his career made it seem
plausible. Last year was the 18th
consecutive season in which he had
caught more than 100 games There
is terrific wear and tear on a catch
er that all other ball players es-
cape. He's the work horse of a ball
club; his knees are taxed as he
bends down to give signals; he takes
a beating from base runners who
come into the plate with roaring
dust-raising slide in desperate
attempt to score; he wears heavy,
hot equipment during the dog days
Of July and August.
