that Juneau will be by-pasSed or that the Juneau Airport will cease
 to play such an important role in 1 the future as it is at present. The basic consideration that has led to i the plan to establish transfer point at Gustavus lies in the fact that the high terrain surrounding the Juneau Airport makes it phySi- cally impossible to operate four en- zine transports in and out of the Juneau Airport with any degree of safety. Aircraft of the size and speed we intend to use on the Juneau Seattle route simply will not be able to take off and turn within the available space, and consequently the Civil Aeronautics Authority would not approve such an operation dir ectly into the Juneau Airport. Pan American would not wish to under take hazardous operation at the expense of safety, and, in my opin- ion, the public would not wish US to attempt it.
 Under the above circumstances we are clearly faced with two al- ternatives. One, to retain on our trunk line operation from Seattle to and through the territory air craft of the DC-3 type, which are limited as to the amount of traffic they can carry, as to speed, and, ul- timately, as to the fares which we must charge the public in order to obtain sufficient income to keep them in operation, or, two, place in operation Constellation aircraft that will carry sixty passengers on our trunk line routes, equipped with four engines as an added safety factor, and which will cruise at speeds in excess of three hundred miles per hour. Obviously, if we use the Con- stellation aircraft we must operate them into an airport which is physi cally able to accommodate them with safety. The nearest airport to Juneau that will safely handle Con- stellations is Gustavus.
 Tt follows, therefore, that Gus tavus would be used as a transfer point and we will operate direct con- meeting shuttle planes, undoubtedly Douglas DC-3's to bring Juneau bound traffic directly to Juneau.
 Some of the benefits that will be derived through the use of Con- stellations in the operation describ- ed above are as follows: The flight time between Juneau and Seattle, for instance, will be reduced from the present six hours and forty min- utes to approximately four hours, in- cluding the time it would take to shuttle to Gustavus. Pan Americans program calls for the use of large, fast aircraft which will offer mass transportation at the lowest possible fares. Because the cost of oper- ating a Constellation per passenger mile is so much cheaper than the operation of DC-3 per passenger mile, we will be able to reduce our fares from the present $85 100 Juneau Seattle one way fare down to ap- proXimately $50.00.
 Tn view of the above I feel Juneau will benefit tremendously by the large influx of passengers we hope to bring into the territory The number of flights we will op- crate into and out of the Juneau Airport will substantially increase with the growth of traffic, and the need for an adequate terminal build ing to handle that traffic is more apparent than ever before. Although it is too early to make positive statement at this time in this re- gard, there is a distinct possibility

Fire Equipment
Use Is Modified

Modifying its resolution of
two weeks ago, limiting the use
of city fire fighting equipment
to the city only, the city council
voted Tuesday night to permit
the use Of equipment outside
the city limits in case Of emer-
gency.
The action was taken follow
ing a report by Fire Chief How
ard Curry, C. E. Ford and Roy
Riley, which called attention to
the fact that there are a num-
Der of homes and buildings in
close proximity to the city
limits east of the city, and which
could be reached by hoses ex-
tending from city fire hydrants.
It was stated that it would
be a safety measure to allow
such use of equipment, in order
to avoid the danger of fires on
property adjoining the city
property. In most instances no
more than 900 feet of hose
would be needed, it was said.
In areas where water is not
available it was recommended
that the hose truck not be sent
to the scene but that a limited
number of men be sent to COM
bat the blaze with hand fire
extinguiSherS.
The fire siren will be blown
for all fire calls whether in or
out of the city limits, for in
this way only is it possible to
quickly assemble a group of men
to take care of an emergency,
whether for fires, accidents or
impending disasters.
The council assented to the
plans suggested and voted that
the fire chief should be charged
with decisions to be made for
the best interest of all con-
cerned.
An order for 500 feet of addi-
tlonal hose WwaS renewed by
the council, and directed that
suitable conveyance be provided
to hold at least 500 feet in re-
serve at all times. This action
was at the suggestion of the
firemen.

American forces on OkinaWa
in the Ryukus have almost re-
duced Japanese resistance ON
the northern emo of the island,
while Yank troops in the south
ern end of the island continue

that a new American offensive

a second large landing on Min
