CBoeing NeWs)

Boeing Stratocruisers may fly the airways between Seattle and Alaska.
 T. N. Law, president of Alaska Airlines, conferred with Boeing officials in Seattle recently and announced his company is con- templating purchase of the huge Boeing passenger and cargo car rier.
 "If Alaska Airlines is certified by the Civil Aeronautical Board for an extension of our existing routes from the Territory to Seat tle," Law said, i've contemplate flying this new route with Boeing Stratocruisers."
 Alaska Airlines has been recom- mended by the Public Counsel and the CAB examiners for a route from Anchorage to Seattle. The final decision, for route cer- tification, will be made by the five-man Civil Aeronautics Board. It is expected that this decision will be reached within the next few months.
 The Stratocruiser, of which the C-97 Army transport is the proto- type, can fly from Seattle to An chorage in less than half the time required by present airline equip- ment.
 E. E. Miller, Boeing assistant sales manager, disclosed that Alaska Airlines for more than a year has been discussing with the Boeing Company the use of Boeing equipment.

Gen. HI. N. Gilbert Heads Army
 Recruiting

The Army's plans for raising a volunteer force of guardians of victory" which eventually will re- place the Selective Service soldiers in our peacetime Army were re- vealed today by Brig. Gen. Harold N. Gilbert, U.S.A., newly appoint ed director of Military Personnel Procurement Service.
 Hundreds of recruiting stations will be opened in various parts of the United States and recruiting officers in each Army organization will emphasize the advantages of adopting the peacetime Regular Army as a career.
 The recruiters will have many persuasive selling points-the lure of travel; the advantages of ac- quring occupational skills; the se- curity of an Army career. All re- cruits, whether they sign up from civilian life or from the ranks of the Army, have the advantage of Office of Dependency allowances for their families.
 General Gilbert, who has the job of persuading thousands of young Americans to make the Army their career, directed the most successful recruiting cam paign in the Army's history dur ing the period immediately pre- ceding the war. His success in achieving more than 100000 en- listments won him the Distin- guished Service Medal in 194O.
 General Gilbert also hold the Distinguished Service Cross, won for heroism as a first lieutenant in France in 1918, and the Purple Heart, awarded him on July IS, 1918, when he was wounded in action.
 General Gilbert was a lieuten- ant colonel when he began the pre-war recruiting campaign and later was promoted to colonel. He was made brigadier general when he was selected to plan, or ganize, and administer the War Department Office of Dependency Benefits. The ODE handles all family allowances and Class E al- lotments-of-pay for the benefit of more than 16,OOO,OOO dependents of Army men and women and had disbursed upwards of $11,OOO,OOO at the time General Gilbert was transferred to his present post as head of the Army's vast new re- cruiting effort.

HELD Up BY DSR

Ordering of equipment, and
execution of other phases of
the plan which affect the DSR.
has been held up by the DSR
commission pending formulation
Of a new plan by the DSR's own
Staffl
In its analysis, the society re-
ported that the plan would meet
he-basie FeatIiFeHentS-e -et-the
city'S postwar transportation, as
follows:
II would provide for reduction
OF traffic on oVeFeFowded thor
oughfares and elimination OF traf-
fic bottlenecks.
. II would give appropriate serv-
/ ice TO all parts OF the city over
4 conveniently located routes with
suitable transfer points.
CLEAR UP STREETS
. II would relieve street conges-
ton in the downtown area.
II would be capable of logical
and economical expansion 10 ac-
conmodate a large growth of the
Detroit area, even though such
growth may not now be antici-
pated
. II would be capable. of being
accommodated 10 relatively large
changes in riding habits as be-
tween private and public vehicles.
Ii would lend itself 10 develop
ment in stages so that use could
be made of individual parts AS
soon as they could be financed and
made available.
COST CALLED REASONABLE
. The cost would be reasonable
and within the ability of the COM
munity. including outside aid, to
! finance II.
although S24O.OOO may seem
a high cost" said the report, sit
should be remembered that this
figure includes the cost Of pub
lie transit vehicles which can be
made self-liquidating.
"Also, through stage construc-
ton, the cost of fixed facilities
will be spread over a number of
years. IL must be remembered
that Detroit has grown at n
rapid rate and that local trans
portation facilities have not
kept pace with that growth.
Thus, large expenditures would
have to be made In any case to
effect necessary improvements"
