SMITH STUDIES
 AVIATION AIDS,
 ALASKA SECTIONS

J. Leonard Smith, Highway En- gineer and Secretary for the new Territorial Aviation Commission, has returned from an extended trip to Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward MT. Smith went to Anchorage to study the new Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration Airport program now in effect in the territory. The CAA is providing 75 percent of the cost involved in the new airport pro- gram, which has been designed for the development of new airfields in sections where the communities are too small to raise necessary funds to establish needed airfields,
 In some districts, such as Dilling- ham, where the Aviation Commis- son has started on the building of an airport at the present time, it is expected that some portion of the funds will be contributed by local canneries and fisheries.
 The Department of Interior, which has carried out considerable work in the past for the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners, recently put into effect a new ruling whereby the Territorial Board must contri- bute 15 percent of the costs of all new construction projects. In the past, the Board has voluntarily con- tributed about 21 percent and to meet the new demand, it would be necessary to request an appropria- tion from the legislature. Delegates of the Department of Interiors Alaskan branch are fighting this on grounds that it would be impossible for the Territorial Board to raise the necessary $1,600,0O0 that would be required for the next two years.
 The Board of Road Commissioners is interested in putting in smaller type of landing strip than the usual which services larger commercial liners. Purpose of these is to en- able small aircraft to make connec- tions between the more rural com munities to deliver supplies and commodities. At present the Board is especially interested in strips along the Arctic Coast, especially around Point Lay, Wainwright and Nomtak It is hoped that the Alas kan Indian Affairs will aid in con- tributing funds toward these pro- jects.
 Seward airport is in need of re- building at the present time, and the Board is also attempting to in terest the CAA in Palmer as a fu- ture site for a landing strip. MT. Smith holds hope that the Depart ment of Interior will reconsider their proposal regarding the 25 percent de- mand that is to go into effect the first of the wear. so the program un- der way will not have to be discon- tinued for lack of appropriation from the legislature.

MORE TROUBLE AHEAD

One of the reasons Juneau merchants have been able to keep prices at reasonable levels during the current shipping strike has been the continued steady service by Canadian ships in addition to the use of mall beats.
 Now both of these carriers may be shut off
 In Seattle CIO longshoremen have refused to load small beats under AFL bosses-a jurisdictonal dispute which can tie up the small boats.
 In Juneau local longshoremen who some time ago oened that they ever had demanded to go aboard Canadian vessels and work the holds have come up again with this demand. And the CPR may consider this sufficient grounds to refuse to haul any further freight into Juneau. Thus the Juneau longshoremen will be cutting Juneau merchants off from Canadian markets and themselves out of wages.
 It has always been customary on the Canadian vessels, whose crews paid less than American crews for the Canadian sailors to work the holds in unloading
 However the Juneau longshoremen now contend

COAL MINE ACCENTS

One of John L. Lewis's hig kicks against private coal operators last spring-and a justi4iable one-was their refusal to adopt federal mine inspection. This, he claimed, was one reason for heavy mine acci- dents.
 However, since the Federal Go, ernment has had the mines, it has enforced it's own standards-despite the objection of private operators. These new, Stricter safety stand ards have caused drop of about 10 per cent in the number of men killed.
 In the first three months of 1946, when the mines were under private operation, 233 men were killed in mine accidents.
 From August IS to Nov. l, when the Federal safety code was in ef- feet, 2l6 men were killed-a figure which bears mute testimony to the hazards of coal mining, despite strict safety laws
 About half the men were killed in roof caye-ins and So-called face falls" tcoal slides. Govern ment regulations to prevent these accidents, such as stronger snoring of roofs, are much stricter than the standards set by the states while the mines were privately op- erated Federal inspectors also are much more thorough about detect ing gas conditions in coal mines
 Though accident casualties were less, the Government also produced more coal than the private opera tors in the comparative three month periods.
 In the first three months of ls46, approximately l60.860,00O tons were dug. Thus the fatal accident rate per million tons dug was l.45

JUSTICE JACKsoN's IDEAS

Maybe Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson listened too much to the radio in his spare time at the Nuremberg trials. Anyway Jackson threw out a hint during argument of a radio case last week that he doesn't agree with die hard EGG Commissioner E. K. Jett that radio stations have no need to improve their programs.
 The Federal Communications Commission was seeking to have the Supreme Court uphold its ord CT revoking the license of radio station WOKO, Albany, N Y.
 Attorney Bill Dempsey, son of the Governor of New Mexico, was argu- ing for WOKO. He pointed out that If every broadcaster who had ever made a misrepresentation to the EGG and whose license had subsequently, heen renewed were now to be taken off the air it would mean great gap in the air waves"
 Isn't that an argument for some drastic action?" Jackson shot back.
 Dempsey hastily changed the subject.
 Note-FCC Commissioner Je.G now believes it is no business of the EGG what kind of tripe a radio station serves up to the public.

Vet Enrollments
To jam
u. S. Colleges

WASHINGTON, Jan. = The
United States is headed for the
greatest educational jam in history
as thousands of returning war vet
Grams swamp colleges and universe
ties with enrolment applications.
Already 125,O0O veterans, financed
under the GI. Bill of Rights, are
in college classes and 100000 more,
have applied for entrance.
DIR. Francis j. Brown, staff asso-
ciate of the American Council on
Education, predicted in an interview
that more than 100000 will be in
colleges and universities by next
fall.
''This is creating university cri-
sis" said DR.. Brown. Thirty per
cent of veterans are married. Ten
per cent have children. This is in
sharp contrast to the situation be-
fore the war when the great major
ity of students were single.
''The housing problem is the
greatest problem at present but we
hope legislation now pending in
congress will be approved and will
help the situation. 1t provides $751;
600 900 for moving temporary war
and defense housing to regions OF
greatest need"
DR.. Brown said "big name uni
versities, and those in large urban
areas were the first to be filled by
returning GI.s, who now are en-
titled to $65 a month if single and
$50 if married, while enrolled in
schools or in training programs.
In addition to his subsistence al
lowance the veteran is given his
tuition and certain other expenses.

282 Die In
Arizona Auto
Wrecks In l945

PHOENIX, Jan. 3-As the new
year was rung in at midnight Mon
day, the states traffic death toll
for 1945 stood at the all-time high
of 282, exactly 10 over the previous
record Of 272 established in the last
pre-war year, 1941.
But while 1945 has ended and G
new list of traffic fatal is VII b
compiled as death stalks the streets
and highways of Arizona during the
next II months, it is hiehly possible
shat more names will be added to
last years total.
In hospitals throughout the state
IRE several men, women and chill
dren injured in accidents within re-
cent weeks, who may die.
Only 100 were listed as traffic
fatalities in Arizona in 1914, the
Traffic Safety Division Of the Ari-
zona Highway Department reported.
The shocking statistics on traffic
fatalities showed a sharp upturn
Immediately after Japan surren-
dered, when gasoline rationing was
terminated and the 35-mile wartime
speed limit was relaxed.
In fact, fatalities since September
1945-a period of four months
came within 20 of equaling traffic
deaths during the years first eight
months.
Last Sept 1, the fatality total
stood at ISL. During the next four
months 131 names were added to
the ever-growing list.
One highway route in Arizona
suffered tremendous increase in
traffic fatalities during 1915. That
was Highway 66, across northern
Arizona, where approximately 85
per cent of the cars and the victims
were from out of state.
Old Tires TreacherOus
Travelling to California from the
East or from California, where they
had worked in war plants, these
motorists had used wartime tires
unable to stand the pressure OF
higher speeds and long hours OF

A Christmas greeting card to the
Nogales international from o. A..

tall palm tree in front of hut.
The young man, who is a son OF

.S.P. Passenger
Haul Hits Peak
AS As Closes

Getting the boys back home has
developed the biggest railroad pas
senger job in history and as 1945
drew to a close Southern Pacific S
passenger traffic was running about
six times the prewar passenger
miles, President A. T. Mercier said
Monday in his year-end comment
on the company'S activities.
Until the homecoming move
ment of veterans is completed" he
declared, sit will continue to have
first attention.
While freight traffic eased off
with the decline in military ship
ments, Southern Pacific has been
carrying more Army and Navy per-
sonnel since VI Day than at any
time during the actual conflict.
Exceeding official estimates fur
nished the carriers, the return of
service men grew in volume through
October and November and built up
having been able to build any new
passenger cars since before the war
due to lack of priorities, and having
received only about 1900 troop Sleep
ers from the government, the rail-
roads have been called upon to ham
die about 95 per cent of all organ
lied troop movements.
Southern Pacifics manpower
shortage continues, it was stated.
More than 5000 men are now need
ed on the company's Pacific Lines
alone.
With it's physical plant at greater
capacity than ever before, as a re-
suit of wartime expansions, South
ern Pacific has an aggressive post
war program to serve the needs OF
business and agriculture for further
development of the West, the rail-
road president said. Orders for
nearly $24,OOO,0O0 worth of new
freight cars and rail were placed by
the company in the closing months
of 1945.
In the passenger traffic field the
company has plans for new stream
lined coaches and sleeping cars to
enlarge upon and improve the de
luxe services now provided by it's
famous "Daylights." "Sunbeams, y
''Larks' and "City of San Francis
CO.. trains. These additions to equip
ment will represent the latest ad-
vances in car design and styling.
They will be announced only as they
are actually ordered from manufac-
turers, it was stated, this in turn
depending on conditions in the rail-
way supply and manufacturing field
and other factors.
During the last six years, South
ern Pacific has reduced it's debt,
other than equipment obligations,
by 1878 per cent.
Even more important than new
mechanical improvements in South
ern Pacifics postwar outlook, Mr.
Mercier said, is the human side OF
Irailroading. Training courses for
supervisors and public contact en-
ployes have been conducted through
out the compahy's organization dur
ing the past year and the program
will be greatly expanded in 1946.
