FIVE AND A HALF MONTH
 FLIGHT RECORD BROKEN

August 10 marked the first time for five and one-half months that an Alaska Airlines Starliner failed to maintain it's regular schedule from Anchorage to Juneau, accord ing to an announcement made by Ted Law, president of the company.
 Two attempts were made on that day, but both times the plane re- turned to Anchorage when weather closed in on all alternate fields on the route, MT. Law, stated. Safety, rather than the impossi- bility of making the flight. caused cancellation of the trips, he said. So, for the first time since instru- ment flying was inaugurated, pas sengers on the line were returned from what proved to a a baggage drill"

 still be used to serve Alaska trunk line traffic.
 PAA plans to replace the Douglas DC-3s, at present handling the Alaska business, with the larger Cancellations just as soon as Lock heed can fill orders already con- tracted.
 In asking. removal, from it's pres ent Seattle -to-Juneau and Seattle l to-Ketchikan certificates, of the restriction against it's carrying traffic between Ketchikan and 1 Juneau, PAA advanced a tentative fare of $33 per one-way trip be- l tween the two Alaska points, with the usual 10 per cent reduction on round-trip fares.
 Pan American testimony, at yes terday's hearing here, submitted that operation under the present restriction necessitates a consider able number of empty seats on flights between Ketchikan and Juneau, that as part of the over all operation from Seattle to Ju- neau, traffic between the two AL ! aska points can be handled at very .l little added cost--mainly the cost { of the shuttle services at each end !. and that by securing proportion I ate revenues from Juneau-Ketchi- kan business an overall reduction ] of operating costs and fares can be \ obtained.
 4 1000 Passengers Per Year
 Pan American looks for an even- tual traffic between Ketchikan ano E Juneau of 2,000 passengers pei year, if the restriction is removed
 Witness Roscoe also declared that PA studies lead to the conclusicr that the proportioned passenger mile costs over the longer distance between Annette Island and Gus tavus, plus the added shuttle costs should result in Juneau-Ketchikar fares that would not be impossible for local seaplane carriers to meet or nearly meet.
 Wilfred c. Stump, counsei TOT the intervening local companies-Alaske Coastal Airlines and Ellis Ali Transport contended, however that since PAA would be flying the same route anyway and would stil have to operate shuttle services to handle traffic originating at ol destined for Ketchikan and Ju- neau, the Intermediate traffic would not add to PAA's operating costs and that fares that PAA might es- tablish would be arbitrary; which would leave the local carriers en- tirely at the mercy of Pan Am erican policy in setting fares.
 Continued Restriction Likely
 At the conclusion of PAA testi- mony, CAB Examiner for Alaska Raymond B. Slough, pointed tc recent CAB decisions on Fairbanks Anchorage and Anchorage-Kodiak applications, for which certificates were given to local carriers already established Those decisions would seem to indicate a CAB policy of not imposing competition where il feels that the volume of traffic is not sufficient to avoid detri- mental diversion of business from those carriers already serving the route.
 Examiner Slough acknowledged

eral foreign governments have started to talk about loans with bankers who have supported the Breton Woods Agreement. Phila- delphia bankers are usually passed by in favor of New York but they support Breton Woods, and so have had several queries lately from representatives of foreign governments. G-2, the Army's Intelligence Division, is curious about the similarity of number of church sermons delivered April 15, the day of Roosevelt's funeral. In most cases the late President was not even mentioned, and the chief theme of the sermons dWelt on soldiers morals. The military has no such figures on soldiers
 morals as were quoted by several ministers. Army Intelligence is in- vestigating to see if this is an or ganized attempt to break down civilian morale by worrying wives

SEVENTH WARLOAN

Although the seventh in the series of special war loans has been launched at time when stand upon the threshold of victory in Europe the need for it has never been urgent The need arises from the scarcity of goods in relation to latent public purchasing power The bulk of pro- ductive resources must still be devoted to war A considerable task remains before us in Europe. A major conflict must yet be in the Orient. And if portion of our civilian supply, food and clothing in particular must be shared with the people we have liberated If imitation at home is to be averted the temptation to start spending money freely, which will come as a natural consequence of victory in Europe, must be sternly resisted Peacetime goods likely to be in extremely short supply for a long while to come
 Only two special war loan drives are planned for this year compared with three in the course of 1914 For the seventh campaign the Treasury has set an all goal of IA billion dollars Half of this amount the mort important half is to be raised by the sale of bonds to individuals. And the most important portion of this haf four billion dollars, is to come through subscriptions to bonds These the bonds designed for people of comparatively modest means. The buying of them represents deferment of current spending which is quintessentia to the antinflation program. This is the really dangerous money, the money which the Government must mop up and take out of circulation if prices to be kept stable The success of the Seventh War Loan drive can best be gauged by it's success in meeting the bond quota
 It was recognition of this fact, no doubt, which led the Treasury to undertake al advance drive for subscriptions to bonds through payroll savings The men and women American production lines have become ardent, regular buyers of bonds Some 27ia

PLAIN SPEAKING

Senator Byrd's Economy Committee has revealed
 the extent and compleXity of the system oi Government owned corporations that have sprung up
 in recent years However the financial operations of many of these corporations will continue to be a closed book so far as the public and most members of Congress are concerned until they are brought unoer system of comprehensive, uniform controls and mahe accountable to Congress, the Budget the Ireas- ury and the General Accounting Office Supervision should not be so detailed and intrusive as to deprive Government lending agencies of the flexibity re- o,red for efficient functionng It is however, in the nubc interest to deprive such agencies of the power to commit the Government to projects that Congress may not approve It is also important to set up a system of accounting that will enable congress ana the public to obtain clear picture of the scope ana character of the financial undertakings of the Govern ment establishment as whole. That is impossible under existing conditions.
 Comptroller General Lindsay c. Warren asserted few days ago. when testifying before the Senate Banking Committee on bill to bring all GoVern- ment corporations under the financial control of Congress, that if the present trend of creaung Government corporations continues or is not curbed, we will soon have a government by Government cor porations" In our opinion the danger of that hap pening is not nearly as menacing now as it was short time ago. For Congress has awakened to the seriousness of development for which 1t IS primarily responsible Its concern became evident during the debate over the Wallace nomination for loan ad- ministrator This seems to be opportune time, therefore for setting legislative safeguards aganst abuse of the discretionary powers that have been lodged in the hands of officials in charge of Govern ment corporations. A good deal more is required, however than tightening of financial controls to prevent abuse of power That reform will be only first step There is also need, as the Comptroller General says for thorough going reorganization of the executive branch of the Government, that would sweep away a good many of the hundred and one corporations now existence result in the elimination of a great deal of duplication and overlapping and save untold millions"

 "Dan," Chandler said, they just named your papa Baseball Com missioner I'm going to run all the baseball there is in America"
 Does that mean you won't have to sit in that Senate all the time any more, papa?" asked young Dan.
 That's right, son."

million of them purchase an aggregate of more than 500 million dollars worth of these bonds each month through deductions from their weekly or monthly pay envelopes They have also provided the best market for the sale of bonds in past special campaigns Tn the current drive the Treasury looks to them to take up 21k billion of the billion bond quota more than in any previous single drive This IS why it has extended the time during which deduc- tons from the pay of workers be credited to the drive the policy makes it possible to take into account varying payroll periods
 Money deducted from pay envelopes is money which goes directly the Treasury and thereby has its inflationary angs removed It money set aside for the future earmarked make future purchases Of civilian goods when these goods once more plen- tiful Thus prudence well as patriotism dictates response to the Treasurys appeal. The rest of the American public will have it's chance to match the response of the payroll employees when the regular Seventh War Loan drive gets under way on May IA The drive can succeed only if all Americans are willing to postpone the buying of things they want but do not actually need.
