Alcan Highway
Receives Initial
Passenger Bus

ANCHORAGE, Alaska UP -
Mud as stiff as putty chung to the
wheels OF his 37-passenger vehi-
Gle as Kenneth O'Harra of An
chorage edged across a half wash
ed out bridge on the first bus trip
over the Alaska military highway
but despite the hazardous driving
conditions he holds steadfastly to
the belief that the road has great
potential commercial value.
O'Harra,. only 3i-year-old pioneer
Alaska busline operator, and two
mechanics, Donald Cross and
Charles Porter, brought the big
bus here from Columbus. o., total
OF 4,743 miles, In ten and one-third
days Of driving time.
O'Harra, who will use the We
hicle for the first scheduled bus
line operation between Anchorage
and Fairbanks. praised the section
Of the highway between Dawson
Greek, b. c., and Anchorage but
said the southern section of the
road from Edmonton, Alberta, 10
Dawson Greek is inadequate for
heavy transportation. Spring floods
knocked out several bridges, fore
ing O'Harra 10 make long detours,
and turned the road into. a quag-
mire in many sections.
One day, he said, they were able
to travel only 10 miles because the
bus slipped over the mud and into
bitches alongside the road. Anoth.
err time, the bus was dragged by
seven caterpillar tractors over Il
l20-mile washed out section.
O'Harra said accommodations
were good along the road with gaso-
line and oil available at stations
every hundred miles. Meals and
lodging were available at Army
engineer roadhouses.

ed" O'Harra stated. Also the road
offers an ideal vacation route be-
cause it passes through some of
the most scenic sections Of the con-
tinent. And that's saying a lot,
because the coast OF Alaska also
has many scenic spots.
