pNA PRESIDENT, MAYOR DISCUSS
 AIRPORT LIGHTING

Arthur G. Woodley, President. of Pacific Northern Airlines. in Ju- neau after attending a CAB hear ing in Anchorage, gave another pat on the back to Mayor Waino Hen derickson and Juneau for taking the initiative in the building of a municipal airport.
 Here to make arrangements with the Mayor for PNA's lease of occu- pancy in the new airport building, Woodley also discussed with Hen drickson the necessity of terrain lighting for Juneau.
 With proper lighting that would enable Juneau airport to be used for after sunset operation, it is hoped that the airport will become part of the regular coastal airWays. That would be fine thing for the local travelling public who find travelling curtailed by short operating period of winter days Woodley said.
 Pacific Northern will soon have completed the largest mass move ment of passengers in it's experience. The air lift of cannery personnel from Bristol Bay, Kodiak and the Prince William Sound area handled probably 5000 people, all of whom were brought to Juneau for trans fer here to Pan American Airways for completion of the southbound tourney.

HENDRICKS0N FLIES T0AN(K0RAGE FOR
 AIRPORT MEETING

To discuss with Walter Plett, Civil Aeronautics Administrator for Alas ka. the problem of terrain. lighting in the Juneau area, Mayor Waino Henderickson was Pacific Northern passenger to Anchorage today
 Night lighting. beacons on the air ways, all necessary to establish Ju- neau as 24-hour airport, have been considered before, Hendrickson said, but the matter of expense has hind cred any definite action.
 The extent to which travel would be increased into Juneau, now the only major airport in Alaska con- fined to daylight operation for scheduled trips, by the extension of minimums which would result from additional lighting, is difficult to estimate, the Mayor said. With good weather all-night operation stould be more than feasible and airlines and people dependent upon them for transportation would prof it, as well as Juneau"

NEWS ITEMS
 FROM SITkA


 SITKA, Alaska, Aug. 15-Sitka will not have hospital building for some years. The hopes built up by the prospects of a Lutheran hospital being established here in the near future were the result of a complete misunderstanding Townspeople and City officials be- lieved that the Lutherans were pro- viding the building and would oper- ate it with city help.
 At joint meeting of the City Council and the committee of the Lutheran Synod Monday evening the extent of the misunderstanding was revealed. Representatives of the Synod, Pastor John Cauble of Long, view, Washington and Rev. Herbert Hillerman of Juneau stated that the Lutherans would maintain and man. age the hospital but the building must be financed by the City and would cost $400 GOO. City Clerk Frank Calvin infored those present that the educational ard public health fund has $25,000 raised by the city sales tax, of which only portion would be available for hospital: that Federal aid would not exceed $40000; that under present circum- stances the city could not under take so costly project.
 Other business transacted by the Council included: granting permis- sion to Keith Snowden to remove a strip of paving in from of his gar- age; and to Alaska : Coastal Air Lines to move their hangar from the Conway Dock across the channel to Japonski; authorizing Mayor Charteris to execute an agreement with the Alaska Native Service on methods of figuring power rates to include allowances for depreciation of power plant equipment which had been overlooked in the original agreement
 All telephones from Macs Cafe to the clocks were out Friday and Sat urday as result of the fire which gutted the Cafe and the B Taxi office early Friday morning. The blaze was so intense and explosive that the telephone cable melted.
 City Sales Taxes brought in over $lB,0O0 this quarter, compared to $12,301. .46 for the last quarter This would seem to indicate that the sales tax is not running local busi- ness. It should also cheer all proper ty owners who, though also paying the sales tax, are no longer forced to carry the entire load of city ad- ministration and improvement.

BERLIN, Aug. 25.--R- Two more shootings on border zones in Berlin and Bavaria were reported. Persons in Russian uniforms wounded a German woman in Berlin. German police from the Russian Zone killed German agent of the U s. Army on the Bavarian border. At the oft-raid- ed Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, the Russians, British and Americans withdrew armed patrols, easing. tension
 The official Russian newspaper in Berlin asserted the Americans in Berlin are using terror tactics" to prevent Berliners from buying lood from the Russians. Only about one in 100 Germans in Western Berlin had asked for Rus sian ration cards.
 BERLIN Maj. Gen Alexander Kotikov, Russian Commandant in Berlin, accused the anti-Commun- ist city government today of un- authorized actions splitting the city police force and other agen- cies. Actually, the Russians them selves caused the splits by strong arm tactics.
 An American spokesman said the Russian attack was another at tempt to increase the pressure" on the elected Berlin administration and perhaps intended to justify eventual withdrawal of recognition of the city regime.
