 Police quoted neighbOrS as say. ing Stanford had told them he did not like priests.

Western diplomats predicted to- day the nations negotiating the North Atlantic pact would lose no time in making Norway one of their group, despite Soviet pres sure.
 The Norwegian reply to a Sov- jet note asking about her position on the Atlantic Alliance said Nor way felt it necessary to seek "in- creased security" through defen- sive cooperation, such as ties with the western powers.
 Norway added, however, that she would not grant bases on her soil to foreign powers, unless she is attacked or threatened with ag- greSsion.

Alaska Airlines Greatly Aided In Developing Alaska
NeW York Times)

most of the airline companies are singing the blues, or just emerg- ing from a holiday of the pittery, it is refreshing to find one skywise transport system that has buckled down to opening up new avenues of revenue.
 It's long jump from New York or Berlin to Anchorage, Alaska, and one wouldn't expect an air line berthed in this nations farth- ermost northern outpost to brush with the climates of the rest of the universe.
 There is quite unique and purely American story behind the operations of Alaska Airlines un- der tn edirection of Raymond w. Marshall, chairman of the board of directors, and Jimmy Games) A. Wooten, president.
 MT. Marshall had had more than forty years of experience in trans portation-until he took over the Alaska job-mostly as a manufac- turer of railway equipment and an operator of several sizable trans portation companies. He put to- gether the various and sundry small lines which now comprise Alaska's sky network. Most inn portant, he has gathered together group of highly experienced spe- cialists. They can operate in the freezing conditions of the North as we'll as the unbearable torrid weather of the tropics.
 In Jimmy Wooten, comparitave newcomer to the Alaska family, MT. Marshall has an able partner with seventeen years of air trans port experience and one who flew cargo all over the globe for Amer ican Airlines, where he organized the first domestic air freight syS- tenn within the United Sta es. This embraced practically every spot in the world.
 Probably no other company has contributed to the opening up of Alaska as has this air-tranSpOrt system. It pioneered in the bring ing of fresh meats and produce to the Territory and "staked" busi- ness men with the necessary goods" to sell. It opened up many new markets for air cargo within Alaska and forced reductions of prices on perishable items. In May, 1947, the volume handled by the company was roughly 60,O00 pounds of cargo a month. Today it is fourth among the nations air lines in ton-miles of air cargo , handled. or more than 100000 pounds a month.
 Using Anchorage as the gate way, it has opened up innumer- able spots previously inaccessible for human travel. But, despite its operation over 5000 miles of certi- fled routes, Messrs. Marshall and Wooten found that this contract cargo carriage did not remove Alaska's major problem; namely, the seasonal curve, wherein, in wintertime, the 100000 migratory workers left the Territory and, as a result, left Alaska's economy practically at a stands.ill.
 So in order to flatten out the seasonal curve and keep the ships

Greenbe|t Surveying
Public Utilities With
View 10 Buying Them

The Greenbelt municipal gov
ernment has launched a survey OF
the federally owned community s
public utilities with a view toward
eventual purchase of them.
The survey was authorized at a
meeting last night of the City
Council. Manager Charles T.
Mcdonald, who will direct the
project, was instructed to expedite
the survey so a final report will
be ready not later than October /.
At that date. it was pointed out.
the Public Housing Administra-
ton is expected to have COM
pleted its appraisal of Greenbelt,
preliminary to sale Of the COM
munity possibly later this year or
early next year.
Mr.. Mcdonald reported he al
ready has asked at least one re-
search group for assistance in the
survey which will cover sewage
disposal. water supply and cleo
tricity.
Discussions also have begun
with PHA over disposition of the
city's roads, parks and recreation
areas. it was reported.
Covered by Special Law.
The Council action was taken
in line with legislation earlier this
year, when Congress set the
formula for the Government sale
of Greenbelt and its two sister,
communities, Greendale, Ohio,
and Greenhills, Wis. The act pro-
vides that residents of these cities
not only get first chance to buy
the housing from the Government,
but for existing municipal gov
ernments to acquire the public
utilities as we'll.
A city fund of $500 is available
for the survey.
Councilman David Granahan
announced that he would not run
for Office in the next city elections,
September 20.

last 10 days. Now in the race in
addition to Mayor Canning and
Mr.. Lastner. are Mrs. Elizabeth
Harrington and Allen D. Morrison.

clerk, said the deadline for vote
registration as we'll as nomination
