AIR FEEDER
Western Line Files Application
with CAA for Development
Following War.
Tentative Plan for 5,955-Mile
Network Covering 81 Cities
and 8 States.

LOS ANGELES Western Air
Lines has filed with the civil aer-
onautics board, application for a
1855 mile network of feeder routes
covering 81 cities in 8 states. Glas-
gcw will be a part of the system
including Great Falls, Helena, Dill
len, Butte, Bozeman, Livingston,
Billings, Miles City, Glendive, Sid
ney, Havre and LewiStown. .
Western Airs filing, according to
Leo Dwerlkotte, executive president,
consists of a series of feeder-pick-
up routes designed to tie in all
important cities adjacent to the
present airline system extending
from San Diego through Los An
geles and Salt Lake City to Leth-
bridge.
1T is too early in the picture
yet" said Dwerlkotte, "to know ex-
actly the type of aircraft equip
ment to be used but it will be
consistent with the present level of
air transport operation. Other cities
may be added to the pattern as the
demand becomes apparent in the
postwar period.
THE whole airline industry is de-
voting its energies to aiding the
war effort and it is impossible to
suggest an exact time in the future
when the economic life of each
community will feel the stimulus
of their airline activity" he advised.
western Air intends to provide this
service as soon as the civil aero
nautics board can clear away the
difficulties of wartime operation
and again devcte its energy to en-
structive aviation development"
Western Air Lines, the nations
Oldest airline, beside its regular
commercial service, is also furnish
ing the air transport command
with a separate cargo operation up
through Alaska.

One Sunday a year ago, Glasgow residents sat stunned and
angry beside their radios as they heard the shocking news of

This year, within a few hours of that anniversary that
President Roosevelt called "a date that will live in infamy,"
northeastern Montana heard a new and thrilling sound - the
roar of gigantic four-motored bombers as they circled to land
on the new Glasgow ardrome.
That is the simplifed and localized application of what has

PLANS IN 1913
FOREVACUEES
Berman Says Proposal Is to
Bring Workers Early in
the Season.

A new plan, still tentative, is now
in the making fer use of evacuee
Japanese labor in northern Mon
tana beet fields for 1943, it was
declared here Monday by Ed Ber-
man, eastern Montana regional rep
resentative of the war relocation
authority, who left for a WRA
conference in Idaho before continu-
ing to the west coast for the winter.
The plan would call for evacuees
to arrive from relocation centers
in the spring and remain on the
beet farms until harvest is complet-
ed in the autumn. Berman said he
believed this the most favorable
way of utilizing the labor.
Each evacuee group would con-
tract for the complete handling of
a beet unit, he said, starting with
the thinning and hoeing and 60
ing with the beet operation until
the beets are out of the ground and
loaded at the dumps in the fall.
Most Beets Harvested
In spite of the late arrival of
evacuee labor in some northern
Montana sections this fall. he said,
most of the beetS are out of the
ground and referred to a statement
by Halter Gearhart of Chinook,
Montana manager of the Utah-Ida-
no Sugar company, that only about
200 acres of beetS were left in the
ground in the Chinook factory area.
A few evacuees are remaining for
winter work on farms in Blaine,
Phillips and Valley counties, but
most have returned to centers. he
In addition, the Great North
ern railway, which faces a labor
shortage, has hired a number for
section maintenance work.
