ALASkAkICE E ELUSIVE, SAYS
 GIRL SKATER
World Traveller Is Disap-
 pointed in Too-Warm NorthIdnd

Supposed to be land of ice and snow, Alaska isn't what it's cracked m to be. according to Juanita Wood, tall. brunette ice dancer who has travelled around the world looking for new ice rinks on which to try her skates.
 Miss Wood who is not a profess sional skater but follows the sport as a hobby, found life too dull in Kansas City after she returned home following three years of Eu- rope. so she turned to the North land, expecting to find plenty of ice and plenty of skating, she ex- plained. Juneau offers no ice at this time of the year, she soon learned, and very little during the winter.
 So Miss Wood thinks she'll go to Anchorage. If there isn't any skat- ing there, she may fly to Nome; there must be ice somewhere in Alaska, she thinks.
 Saw Bombs Fall
 Miss Wood was in England when the war started and witnessed the early air raids of the Nazi fliers She was in Norway the day the Germans invaded that country. On the train she had taken from Swe- den to Norway that day were also many Norwegian volunteers who had been fighting in Finland.
 They were still wearing their Finnish army uniforms" Miss Wood recalled, "and when the rain crossed the border into Nor vay, the Norwegian troops fired their own brothers, because they thought the strange uniforms were hose of Nazis. Many of those boys were killed in that skirmish."
 Miss Woods first real war ex- perience was the German occupa- tion of Czechoslovakia. The Amer ican consul advised her to leave Prague immediately. so she went to Sweden where she spent several peaceful months skating, skiing and cycling. By April 8, l940, she was ready to go to Norway, leav ing Stockholm for Bergen.
 
 Airport Bombed
 T had no idea Germany was going to invade Norway { h same morning" she said. We get across the border in time to see an airport bombed; it was early in the morning and we dashed from the train in nightclothes to buy newspapers. Just after that, the Norwegians fired on the Fin nish volunteers"
 Turned back to Stockholm, Miss Wood flew from there to Moscow on the first leg of a trip which was to take her around the world.
 AioFC oCCii O lOt Ol NliACiCii cities but never before have I seen so many people bustling about the streets as they do in Moscow. An auto never stops for pedestrians. If pedestrian gets hit, that's just his hard luck It's nothing to see people knocked over by cars. Some get up and limp away. I saw one woman struck. She lay where she had fallen and no one seemed to care"
 From Moscow it look IA days for Miss Wood to reach Vladivos- tok, travelling on the grimy Trans Siberian Railroad. She was crowd ed into a compartment with three men, "all gallant and courteous, all dirty and lice-ridden."

by the civil aeronauties authority.
The debating senators argued the
question Of making Atlantic air
service a permanent monopoly IN
the hands of Pan-American by
turning down the appropriation.
Senator Bones interest was
aroused by statement that

rs this payment intended to
bear any relation whatever TO the
operating cost of the company,
he asked, "or is It intended as

mess growing out of such a trans
action.

"I desire to know whether we
