Gov. Ernest Gruening today made the following three-point statement with regard to recommendations of the Civil Aeronautics Board in the Pacific case, first reports of which were carried in yesterdays Empire, and which is reported more fully elsewhere today. Said Gov. Gruen- ing:
 "On the basis of so far received not wholly complete, and not quite clear, reports, it would appear that the recommendation of the the CAB Examiners represent a great step forward for Alaska.
 Tt recommends three interna- tional carriers to link Alaska with the United States and the rest of the world, in place of the one we have now. That is 8 distinct gain in my view, since it means not ony in- creased service-but competition.
 "2-Among the three carriers, one is an Alaskan carrier-a distinct ad- which should mean the To- eating of offices, repair shops and other activities within Alaska.

 But before it left the coast the storm had battered a stretch of some 400 miles, demolished or heavily damaged buildings in exposed coastal towns, and scooped high water onto the low coastal plain. Heavy dam age to cotton and rice crops was re- ported.

 The first fire call sounded this morning at 10:10 o'clock and the all clear was not finally blown until one and one-half hours later.

 The Marine corps officer said that in probing the fate of the B-24 crewman known to have bailed out on Koror he was informed by a Colonel Tada that details were not available.
 "Tada said he regretted to inform me that although the American crew member parachuted May and sub sequently was taken prisoner, un- fortunately he had been killed by a Japanese officer between May 10 and May 15,' Fike said He stated the American was not killed as the result of the carrying out of the sentence of military court, and added that although the loss of life was regret table it was the opinion of the Japanese the incident was insignif- icant in comparison to the loss of innocent women's and children's lives caused by the atomic bomb"
