PORTLAND, Greg, Jan. 3.-The
parents of Dave Haerle, who is

airliner taking Yale students back
from vacation, were astounded
today to hear that he was on the
plane.
The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George

to return to school by train. They
purchased a train ticket for him,
drove him to Union Station here,
told him goodby and watched as he
walked across the platform toward
his waiting train.
They did not see him 60 aboard
and they did not say what day this
took place.
Last night, when informed that
their son was aboard the plane,
they were certain a mistake had
been made. They were sure he was
aboard the train.
On the plane fight out from the

leg and cuts and bruises, today tolo
the following story of the crash:
I'VE had been waiting for the fog
to- lift. We were two or three hours
behind schedule when we boarded

half an hour with the engines run

Finally. we tried to take off, al
though it was still foggy. thought
we were off the ground-I guess we
were-then the next thing / knew

Then we plowed into a hangar.

ROTARY SEES A SERVICE COMPANY

Under the chairmanship of Ben Young, the RotarianS visited the Northern Light and Power Com pany'S plant at the east end of town yesterday after the mondays luncheon. The power plant is in the process of being modernized with a fire-proof siding which has improved the appearance of the plant. Also the inside has been completely painted. The four units of varying horse power were in spected as well as the new switch board which has been installed for boosting the power when neces- sary or for cutting out sections of town when needed.
 A new water tank for cooling the system has also been installed recently.
 In charge of the plants now are Jim Pierce. Carl Eckberg, and John Belobradish.
 The vocational committee of which Mir. Young is head had planned to project of a study of one of Nome'S service giving voca- tionS.
 George GoshaW, of Shishmaref. guest of the club told of being in Nome three years ago when the club was organized. In calling this event to mind he was just ahead of President Stan Morgan's an nouncement that next week the meeting would be on Wednesday noon, as the 3rd Anniversary.

defense and Territorial-develop- ment implications" the CAB off cial said.
 Jones explained that over the years a system of conflicting routes and regulations has grown up around intra-Alaskan carriers. At present, several of the smaller Alaskan air lines are in precari- ous financial positions, Jones said.
 The CAB official plans to find out during his Alaska visit if car riers there are entitled to more mail pay. Mail pay for all of the intra-Alaskan carriers at present totals about 51,50O,000 a year.
 "It will take the CAB years to straighten out the Alaska situa- tion," Jones declared. But we know development of aviation in Alaska is important, and we're go- ing to devote the time necessary to the project.
 Jones said, incidentally, that the long awaited examiners report on the extra service to Alaska case is expected to be made public this month: Several lines are seeking route extensions into Seattle and other Pacific Coast and middle west cities.
