PETITIONS FOR REOP EWING PACIFIC CASE

ation of the Civil Aeronau tics Board decision in tn, Pacific case have been fiji ed this week by flask; Airlines and Pacific North ern Airlines.
 The CAB decision cer i tified Northwestern Air liner to fly routes from Nev York, Chicago and Mime apolis through Anchorag | to Asia and from Seattl through Anchorage to Asia Pacific Northern was certi fled to fly the Anchorage Cordova and Juneau route Alaska Airlines formerl certified over this rout was denied renewal of thei certificate.
 In presenting their argu ments for reconsideratio the petitioners held I Boards decision failed t consider the varied neec of Alaska and would ten to impair rather than a. sist in opening up new aN enues of development fc the Territory.
 Already established A askan carriers with add tional certification from th midwest and Seattle coul give improved service many Alaska communitit while under the prese1 ruling only one town is col nected with the States. It was pointed out tn; by awarding the two AS. routes to one carrier a mol opolistic practice is beir followed which will resu in less efficient service an higher rates.
 By denying local Alask carriers authorization ft flying the more trave!e routes their revenues wi !, be cut and they will not | in a position to contin, giving the type of servit within Alaska which h: existed prior to this time
 The petitioners feel vel strongly that if reconside ation is granted in this ca: emphasis should be place |npou Alaska and it's neet rather than considering A aska merely as a single wa station en route to the Or ent.
 Fresh hopes that the. requests for reconsider tion mey be fayorably T ceiyed, was held fbic ,,o<

Marine subcommittee, has announc- ed a hearing on the subject this summer in Juneau. There was little hope that Alaska would get better water transportation than it has been getting for a long time, per haps year. At the same time, the general maritime strike, set fo, June 15, which would tie up Pacific and Atlantic and gulf ports, loonied ever Alaska shipping like a shroud A faet-finding board had proposed l $1.37 an hour as against s1.50 ask ed by the waterfront workers but there was no indication that settle ment was near. Harry Bridges on .he west coast and Joseph Curran on the Atlantic seaboard were threatening to put on a strike which , would be second only to the recent rail tie-up, but would be a hundred percent worse for Alaska. The ans wer might be found in the cube of ! the square root of the unknown, as Don OConner of the 0PA described his reactions to certain figures pre- sented by the shipping companies Tn support Of a rate increase.
 
 Look for the start of neT Southeastern Alaska boat service catering mainly to passengers, in June. Public announcement may be expected within the next couple o: weeks. Plan is to serve all major Southeast Alaska points.

SENTINEL RETRACTs
 BOWS AND APOLOGIES
TO NELSON ANn M00pl

The Sentinel bows its head. It is glad to retract a statement made a few weeks ago on demand of Proud Pappa Charles Moore
 Some time ago this erring report CT intimated through these columns that Dr. Alvin T. "Guppy' Nelson and Charlie "Minnow'' Moore were small time fishermen who had to stretch trout they caught on a rack to get them up to the six inch legal limit.
 Since that time. however. these men have really proven themselves. They don't always catch little noes nor do they always catch fish.
 Such was the case when early Tuesday morning Mrs. Moore (to whom we extend most credit and congratulations presented Charlie Pop" Moore with an eight pound eight ounce baby boy, Dr. Alvin Big Boy Nelson officiating.
 The new trout fisherman for .he Moore family has been named Rob- ert Charles and it is rumored that Pop is already getting Chuck's first set of fishing tackle collected.

Wrangell Woman
 Shoots Husband
 Following Quarrel

H c. "Texy McKowan Wrangell man and owner of the local tele- phone company, was shot and ser iously wounded by his wife last Monday about midnight following a violent quarrel at the family home The bullet, fired from a 22 rifle. entered his left eye and lodged ia his head. He was flown south We'd nesday for an operation 10 extract the pellet.
 At first 1t was thought that Mt- Rowan had made an attempt at sui- eide. but later Mrs MeKowan con fessed to the deed.
 The story broke Wednesday morn- ing when Mrs. McKowan gave her self up to the U. S. Deputy Marshal following a long talk the night be- fore with a Wrangell Sentinel u.- porter to whom she told the wholr. true story of the affair.
 In an interview Tuesday morning at the Helen Roaming apartment V here Mrs Mcl[owan had fled wIth her seyen-year-old daughter follow ing the shooting, Mrs McKowan gave an incoherent account of the tragedy She was in a highly nerv-l ous state and sobbed bitterly throughout the interview.
 Asked why McKowan had dt-I tempted to take his life, she said she knew of no reason but told the reporter that he had threatened her life and that of her daughters re- peatedly It was known that Me Rowan had been attempting to sell the telephone company to the city because of financial difficulty Ia operating 1t and conclusion was drawn that this could have some bearing on his supposed suicide at tempt.
 Tuesday evening a Sentinel re- porter went to the hospital to call on McKowan. McKowan told the re- porter " I didn't do it'
 Immediately following, the re- porter went back to the Roaming apartment where Mrs McKowan WIS in bed and after a long talk and re- peated denials, Mrs MeKowan fin ally broke down and told the re- porter the true story.
 It was evident that Mrs McKow- ans fears were not for herself but for her small daughter and a baby which is due to arrive in about two months. It was also evident that Mrs. McKowan was driven to the act by long and repeated threats CD her life, and the life of her daugh ter, by her husband.
 T was simply distracted" she cried, q had taken all could stand. I don't know why I did 1t. how I did it, just did it, that's all. It seems like a pad dream now.
 Questioned further, Mrs. McKow- an said McKOwan kept the rifle, fully loaded, in the kitchen by the stove to kill cats. She said it used to make her i'll to 'see the poor things stagger and fall" She also told of other guns McKowan kept around the house, loaded. and of McKowan's fury on one occasion when, after he had threatened her, she removed a .45 revolver from it's place by the switchboard and hid it under an ice box on the back porch
 Mrs. McKowan said the quarrel, which led up to the shooting, began Monday night at dinner. Mrs. Me- Rowan had gone to the city police, the U. s. Deputy Marshal and the U. s. Commissioner for protection against McKowan's threats and 1t

Universal Training
And Unified Command
Urged by Patterson

Universal military training and a
unified command for the armed
forces are necessary to defend the
United States, which is "as vulner-
able to attack in war of the future
as a Balkan country was in war
OF the past" Secretary Of War Patz
terson said last night.
He told the National Council of
the Reserve Officers Association
meeting at the Mayf1ower Hotel
that the recent war might have been
averted If Congress had passed the
universal military training proposal
of 1920.
Modern weapons have DESTROYED
our former allies of time and space
Mr.. Patterson said. He added that
every informed scientist working on
the military application of the
atomic bomb agreed that it meant
I'VE must be prepared to mobilize
faster and more thoroughly than we
ever have before"
He said the bill for unity of the
armed forces does not transfer the
Navy to the War Department" but
makes both, with the air forces
branches Of new Department OF
Common Defense, "all three on q
parity"
Devers Outlines Plans.
The Army's future lis largely II,
your hands," he told the reserve
officers, with universal military
training administered In large par,
by nonregular officers.
Gen. Jacob L. DeverS, command.
ing the Army Ground Forces, out.
lined the plans the Army has tt

l The new program, he said, pro-
vides for three types of reserve
units:
Glass A, fully equipped and trained
combat and service units for the
M day force only with full COM
plement of officers and enlisted per.
sonnet; Glass B, composed of officers
and an enlisted cadre, and Glass C
of officers only.
Manpower Needs Cited.
The success Of the program" he
said, depends on universal military
training to provide the manpowel
needed"
He predicted changes would be
made to permit warrant officers anc
female personnel to become mem.

For Peace in Pacific Tour
BY The Associated Press

HONOLULU, Nov. 23.-The world
is seething with political unrest but
everywhere there is a fervent hope
for peace, James A. Farley said on
his arrival last night from 10000

for another war.
Mr.. Farley, former chairman OF

There is q shortage of food in
almost every country and black mar
kets are hourishing. Imitation has
hit almost every country. But among
the people there is an earnest desire
for peace ;"
II saw no evidence Of any senti-
ment among the people for another
war and I do not believe war is inn
minent."
