Rivers Approves Steamship Plan; With Amendments
(By Charles D. Watkins)

WASHINGTON, (P) - Ralph J Rivers, attorney general of Alas ka, told the House special Alaska transportation committee Friday he approved the proposal of two Seattle steamship companies to es- tablish permanent service to the Territory, with some exceptions.
 This plan, he said, would be his second choice for continuing the service after the present interim plan of operation with government ships terminates next June.
 He said his first choice is to continue the interim service, cor solidating the Alaska Steamship company and the Mort h n d Transportation company and giv- ing the resulting firm and the Alaska Transportation company the right to operate in all Alaskan waters.
 If this cannot be done, he said. he believed the plan of Alaska Steamship and Northland to pur- chase government vessels at not more than $1OO,OOO and operate them exclusively in Alaskan serv- ice was the next best proposal. He said he would amend the proposal to provide that Alaska Transpor- tation should be given the same privileges.
 The companies now are operat- ing under an interim agreement under which Alaska Steamship serves western Alaska and the other companies are restricted to Southeastern Alaska.
 Rivers said he would oppose any effort to base either plan on any prewar traffic pattern, when the business of the Territory was Continued on Page EighD

 Vandenberg, who heads the for eign relations committee, left his presiding officers chair to open debate on legislation to authorize winter relief for France, Italy and Austria.
 This measure simply approves the principle of aid up to S597,- 000,000 worth. If Congress ap- proves it, separate bills appropri- ating the money will have to be passed before aid becomes an ac- tuality.
 The Michigan Senator told his colleagues that the international unity which won the war has fallen apart.
 "A new type of communism is on the march," he said in a pre- pared address. Tn the United Ma tions, which is still the world best bridge across the ominous gap, this new aggression boycotts what it cannot defeat or veto.

 Propose New Plan For Alaska Service

time cOmmlSSlOn ndu DetOre II FIT day proposal of the Alaska Steamship company and the Northland Transportation com pany to set up a permanent ship ping service to Alaska.
 During hearings last week com missioner Joseph K. Varson asked the companies to submit such a plan.
 The commission then was con- sidering a petition of the Alaska Transportation company to revise the interim agreement under which the three companies are serving Alaska.
 Alaska Steamship and North land propose that Congress enact a law requiring certificates of public interest, convenience and necessity for both common and contract carriers in the Alaska trade
 Their proposed plan" says that Alaska Steamship and Northland will purchase the necessary num- Der of war-built cargo vessels to serve the Alaska trade under cer- tain conditions, including a re- quirement the plan be put into op- eration not later than May l, l948.
 They say they will pay for yes sels purchased from the commits sion their statutory sales price or such percentage thereof as it is determined the Territory can bear as a capital base for rate making purposes. (RateS are determined by a company's capital invest ment. Such reduced prices, if any. would apply only for vessels oper- ated exclusively in commerce to and from Alaska.
 If, within five years the vessels are operated anywhere else, the purchaser would pay the commits sion an apportionment of the diff ference between the statutory sales price and the actual price.
 After five years the vessels would become free vessels for all purposes at their purchase price for the Alaskan trade.
 Alaska Steamship says it will continue to operate it's passenger vessels to Alaska for two years without any increase in rates pending perfection of a passenger ship program such as was recom- mended this month by the Presi- dents advisory committee on the marine.
 "When and if such passenger ship program is perfected and i'm plemented," the plan says, Alas ka Steamship and Northland Transportation will acquire the number of newly con- structed passenger vessels under such purchase and charter ar rangement as the economy of the Territory can support.
 "Supplementing such new pas senger vessels the companies will continue to operate such of the four present passenger vessels for such period as is necessary to pro- perly serve the. needs of the Alas ka trade"
