Our Ties With Alaska
(seattle Post -Tntelligencerl

Seattle Post -Intelligencer)
 Much more than air traffic to and from Alaska
 is involved in the current hearings of the Civil Aero nautics Board on proposed air routes. Air routes from New York or the id-West would tend to divert some Alaska business away from the Pacific Coast But inevitably tied n with the current controversy air routes is the effort to retain for peacetime operation the present uneconomic and gen. eraly undesirable Alcan Highway-and of course to block direct highway railroad connection between the Pacific Coast and Alaska
 The Alcan Highway is undesirable from every standpoint. It has too much mileage. It is largely laid upon tundra and the cost of maintenance would be tremendous. Successful truck operation this route is out of the question because of costs and the territory it raverses offers few hopes that it will be built up and attractions for tourist travel
 In contrast direct north-south land route to Alaska, besides providing much shorter mileage would be highly attractive to tourists and would make cessibe for development much important territory.
 But the most important factor to be considered. in establishing both air and land routes between Alaska and the United States, is the fact that the bulk of heavy freight to and from Alaska always will move by the most economical metlod-by water.
 Air and land traffic should parallel as closely possible, the lines of established trade, which are dictated in this instance by geography A Even under the distorted conditions of war ac- cording to the Civil Aeronautics Boards figures than half of all air traffic and from Alaska has passed through the Seattle gateway.
 Any disposition of the air routes issue designed to divert air traffic interior routes ought to be contested vigorously, not merely by the air lines interested in maintaining present services up and down the Pacific Coast and establishing new ones but by all Pacific Coast business organizations in- cluding those of Alaska.
 By the same token the Pacific Coast States should act a unit-and vigorousy-in behalf of land connections between Alaska and the United States, by highway railway both, the logical and direct north-south route For it must be clear by that the issues of land routes and routes are inextricaby interwoven.
 Either there will be a higher stage of develop ment Of the services that bind Alaska and the Pacific Coast States a rude severing of present ties that will be disastrous from any viewpoint

Board would name the Commissioner of Health
 But the draft presented by the Federal expert would have set up Board of II members four of them Federal officials majority could at any time adopt regulations affecting Alaskans
 majority would be six, and the four Federal members could easily control this majority
 The "ersatz' bill would also have given the power of appointment of the Commissioner to the Governor and not the Board.
 Present Commissioner of Health Dr. C. C. Carter exposed the scheme the members of the Legislature in memorandum and the first bill has been with drawn, the Health Council Bill substituted in the House.

 D--J. E. Charles, German resi- dent of Monte Carlo.
 2)-August T. Gausebeck, another German banker, formerly living at 50 Broadway, New York City, sus- pected of handling Nazi funds in the United States, and deported from New York in May, 1942. Be- fore the U. s. break with Germany, he apparently knew it was coming land transferred much of his prop Ierty to Argentina. The rest has been seized by the Alien Property Custodian.
 3)-Guillaume Charles Le Cesne, French banker, who before the war was associated with a company making electric storage batteries During the war he continued with this company, the batteries being important to the war and being sold to Germany.
 4-Florence La Gaze Gould, born ill San Francisco of French parents, former actress and third wife of Frank Gould. She is vicepresident of Sea Baths" at Juan-les-Pins, director in "LunchS ct Glaciers" catering company, and in various winter and summer resort com panies.
 Another interesting date in the history of the Charles Bank falls on August 23. l944, when it in-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-02-26

creased it's capital from 30 million to 150 million francs. August 23 was just eight days after Gen. Patch landed with an American Army along the French Riviera, near Monte Carlo
 Since Monte Carlo is neutral, officials suspect that the Charles Bank was scheme whereby Ger mans and French collaborationists transferred funds out of de Gaulle's jurisdiction. Charles, when inter- viewed by investigators, said he and the German, -Gausebeck, would re- tain an interest of 50 million francs and the American group (the Goulds), which has a participation of only million, will have the right to total participation of 50 million"
 Investigation of the whole affair is continuing by both French and U. s. officials.
 Note-Mr and Mrs. Gould were warned repeatedly by American au- thorities before hostilities to return to the United States. Their. funds were frozen during the war.
 
 END OF THE WAR?
 Alter one member of the U. s. High Command returned from Yalta, officers surrounded him to ask when the Big Three' thought the war would be over in Europe.

staff officer, fin the last war, I knew Marshal Foch's chauffeur and he told me he was constantly being asked the same question. Every place he drove Foch, people asked if Foch had told him when the war would be over. He always said he didn't know. a1
 "One day he was driving the Marshal toward the front thinking how when he returned everyone would be asking him if he knew when the war would be over. Just then, Foch reached over from the back seat and asked: TO
 Henri, when do you think the war will be over'?" sffsa'
 "Confidentially," concluded the staff officer, that's what all our men asked each other at Yalta."
 Note - Actually, after American, British and Russian staff officers completed plans for their final coordinated offensive, they agreed Germany should be finished off by July l. Many of these same top men including Generals Marshall and Eisenhower miscalculated last year, thought the war would be over last autumn.

GOULD'S FRENCH TRANSACTIONS

French and U. s. officials are greatly interested in the statement of Mrs. Frank Jay Gould that she paid 5,000,000 francs to the Nazis to save her husband from being taken off to Germany.
 What puzzles them are some transactions which made it appear that the Gould family was being well-treated by the Nazis In fact, during part of the war, the Nazis, instead of exacting payments from Gould, actually paid him rent on his villa.
 This was in September 1943. The amount received was 1,500,0O0 francs. ct was 10 months later, in July, l944, just as the Allies were sweeping toward Paris, that Mrs. Gould deposited 5,000O00 francs in Germancontrolled bank in Monte Carlo, allegediy to save her hus- band).
 The 1943 German payment to Gould was deposited by the Ger man Commissioner in the Chateau neuf-Sur-C Cher branch of the Chase N a t iona Bank for requisi- tionlng Gould's villa in Vichy. Later, the German Commissioner even paid Gould an additional l95,3O0 francs to compensate for expense connected with requisi- tioning the villa.
 Mrs. Gould's deposit of 5,O0OoOO francs 10 months later was in the Banque J. E. Charles ct Cie, of Monaco the eight-square- mile, neutral principality famous for it's Monte Carlo gambling casino.
 The date of her deposit, July q. 1944, in itself is interesting. For the Charles Bank was actually es- tablished on this same date. It had not been in existence before. Fur thermore, Mrs. Gould became a stockholder U. s. and French of ficials also consider other dates significant. June 6 was the date when the Allies landed in Nor mandy. July 19 was the St To breakthrough, when Gen. Patton started his dash for Paris. Three days after the breakthrough. the bank was founded

as much space as long hay, it is
easier to feed and it is eaten with
