KETCHIKAN-The majority of persons interviewed by the Ketch- ikan Chronicle favored immediate statehood for Alaska, with 131 out of 250 boiled endorsing the pro posal.
 The paper said Saturday that q indicated they had open minds on the issue, while 58 definitely were opposed.
 The opponents showed their greatest concern over Alaska's ab- ility to finance statehood without more permanent population and the tremendous development resources needed to overcome the present seasonal industries.

u. ). Sends 'Portia'
To Nuremberg Trials
BY JUDY BARDEN,

NUREMBERG, Nov. 3. One of
the most important women around
Nuernberg's palace of Justice
patched up to be the scene of the
Forthcoming Nazi war criminal
trials-is WAC Maj. Catherine Fal-
vey, pin-up girl lawyer from Som
erville, Mass.
Maj. Falvey, who is in her early
thirties; is chief of the analysis
section of the Interrogation division
and is in the know with the big
boys in the jail house close by. She
sits and weighs the interrogation
reports, and often sits in on the
acutal interrogations of the % war
criminals, having listened to Goer-
ing, Hess and the late DR.. Ley.
She was brought over from Wash
ington chiefly because her powers
OF observation are sharper than a
two-edged sword and her legal tenn
perament is as cool as a cucumber
She also understands little Ger
man. In Washington she was at
tached to the Inspector Generals
Department.
She is a graduate of Portia Law
School in Massachusetts,, received
her LIB. degree in 1882 and was
admitted to the Massachusetts, bal
in 1884. She was admitted to prac-
tice in the United States Supreme
Court in 1941 and was a member oi
the Massachusetts, Legislature from
1910 to 1914. She entered the Wom.
ems Army Corps In 1912.

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, Jr,

Travel Editor.
The trend Of resorts to gear them
selves to the airplane age has been
borne out in news from two we'll
known vacation spots--the golf
heaven Pinehurst On. CO country
and the Pocono Mountains OF Penn
sylvania. In both sections, interests
linked with the resort industry have
acquired air ports to shrink the
journey time from and to large
metropolitan centers from hours to
minutes.
The minded hosts look forward
not only to guests stepping from
their own Piper Cubs and helicopters
but foresee a demand by travellers
that will cause planes of established
lines to dip down in scheduled stops.
In the ofing, also, are plans for
large planes based on the fields,
ready for charter and general
passenger service.
The North Carolina field, about
miles from Pinehurst and from
Southern Pines, was taken over
from the Army and opened under
the management of the newly
formed Resort Airlines, Inc. Head
ing the company is Maj. L. G. Bur-
we'll, former commander of the 207th
Troop Carrier Squadron, AAF, in
the China-Burma-India theater,
while his brother, 1t. Comdr. Clayton
l.. Burwell, former tennis star and
more recently an officer aboard the
aircraft carriers Independence and
Bennington, is secretary-treasurer
The staff of pilots and instructors
includes six ex-AAF flyers.
/ Resort Airlines expects to have
available shortly three twin-engined,
four passenger Cessna planes for
chartered flights and three lighter
planes for local taxi service and
| instruction work.
Included in the aerial plans for
the Pennsylvania resort are the
eventual formation of an aviation
club of vacationists and others
using the field facilities. But for the
moment the resort managers are in
terested in spreading the good word
that 40 000, 900 people in the Eastern
States will be within an hours fly
ing" of the al1-year round play area
with committing to city Offices a
possibility when the service begins
to work smoothly.
AS at Pinehurst, the Mount POGO
no air port will have available
hangers, tie-downs, gasoline. oil
and related facilities. The United
States Commerce Department will
continue to operate the Weather
Bureau at the field, while the Civil
Aeronautics Administration will
maintain the beacon. The field
now has a 2.800-foot black top run
way, 100 feet wide, and a 300-foot
grass runway. The area is large
enough to permit extension of the
landing strips.
1t is in keeping with normal va
cation habits of Americans that
they decide where they want to go,
burst in on a travel agency and say,
in effect, produce" This push
button service for the magic carpet,
of course. wore out during the war
years, and it is still far from being
repaired. Only with patience, de-
termination and an acceptance OF
a measure of inconvenience can
today's travellers wiggle into the
most crowded of the popular resorts.
While there are many who still
cling to the II must go there policy,
the wars home front learned to
compromise with conditions, going
the way the wind of accommoda-
tions blew in many cases enjoying
