ALASKA ROUTE EXPLAINED
 BY VIVA ROOSTER

WASHINGTON-On the basis or existing traffic. the North Pacific air route should originate at San Francisco. a Transcontental and Western spokesman declared.
 George 4. Spater, VIVA attorney told the Civil Aeronautics Board that a successful operator of the northern route to the Orient must tap the west coast, occupy strong position in the east and connect with transatlantic route He ac- kownledged that the bulk of Orient bound traffic may ultimately move through Chicago but declared the historic route is from the Pacific and cyou can't change trade rela- tions oyernight'
 If given the route, for which sev- eral other airlines are contesting, VIVA, Spater said. would fly from San Francisco through Seattle to an Alaskan point and on up to the Siberian coast. At some point in China, he said, the route should connect with TWAS transatlantic route. thus far authorized only to Calcutta.
 Spater anticipated an enormous expansion of business traffic, a terrific government business and a gradual increase in tourist busi- ness. He said round-the-world travellers have been estimated at around 5000 a year.
 CAB examiners have recom- mended that Northwest Airlines fly the route via Chicago and that Pan American extend its present Central Pacific route to Tokyo and Shanghai.

 GL's in Alaska hoping to take advantage of the G. I. bill of rights loan provisions are not facing much luck in the Territory and officials connected with veterans affairs are on the whole pessimis- tic. Under the bill c. Is are sup posed to be able to negotiate up to S4.000 loans for building homes starting businesses etc, one half of which is guaranteed by the Federal government The catch is that the law limits interest rate to four per cent and Alaska banks just don't loan nancy at four per cent. The usual rate is eight. Vet eran officials say they know of no loan being actually turned down on this score but in lining up the benefits which returning service men can get under the c. I. bill of rights. their findings to date are that the loan provisions at this time are imperative. The c.

Do~~s NALn NIOup near Educator
M. P. Moe, secretary of the MEA
Montana Educational Associa-
tlon-Was speaker before % teach
ers and members oif the school
Board on Friday evening at the
nlgh school. Mr.. Moe spoke on
school finance, legislation and
teacher shortage. He stated that
l25 teachers will be graduated from
Montana schools this year with only
IOO OF these available for Montana.
Normally there are 700 graduates
Last year there was shortage of
1000 teachers and this year 900 of
those having taught will not return.
Tins shortage is due to low salary
in Montana which cannot compete
with other states and other voca
tons and industries. The average
salary OF grade teachers in Mon
tana is $l700 and of high school
teachers, $1,000. The minimum for
California is $1,000. However. Mr..
Moe stated that the Montana lepis-
lators' session were more friendly
toward education problems. An
other interesting item is the fact
that OF the large number of H.
literate inductees, not one was from
Montana. The average education of
Montana inductees is ninth grade.
The grade school teachers served
lunch at the close of this session.
