Johnson on Alaska Tour

When j. w. Johnson's recommen-
dations concerning Alaska are made
to the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton in Washington, DC, they will
be supported by his personal OBJ
servations on a. siX-week tour of the
Territory.
johnson is Special Assistant in
the Planning Division, Office of
Airports, for the CAA. After inspec-
tons in and near Juneau, he left
June 8 for the westward and the
interior, returning here Tuesday,
and leaving for the capital yester-
day.
Before boarding the Pan Ameri-
en- flight, he said, "As to progress
in Alaska, everything is going we'll

are badly needed.
What about Juneau?" he re-
peated. application for the extern
sion to the Juneau runway. includ-
ing the proposed seaplane base, is
still pending. We hope to have the
final answer within a couple of
weeks"
With Edward G.. Fisher of An
chorage, Acting Chief, CAA Airports
Division, Johnson went from here
to Anchorage, then drove to Tok
and the Canadian border, inspect
ing airports and proposed sites.
Johnson expects an airport to be
built presently at the border, in
connection with the Customs and
immigration stations. The nearest
one at present is at Tok, 81 miles
from the Canadian border.
The CAA men went next to Fair
banks, Point Barrow, Kotzebue,
Nome and Fort Yukon.
Construction on an airport for
Kotzebue is to start August l, and
that at Fort Yukon is under con-
struction. These will accommodate
Wien Alaska regular schedules.
AirlineS are using the Navy air
port at Point Barrow on a restricted
basis. Wien is allowed two sched-
ules a week.
The traffic could stand more
said Johnson. THE CAA will con-
slider additional airports to serve
the area"
The CAA officials inspected two
airports being built by the CAA,
separately from the Federal Aid tc
Airport program. These are the in
ternational airports at Anchorage
and Fairbanks
Returning to Anchorage, johnson
and Fisher headed out on the Aleu-
tan chain, inspecting airports at
Cold Bay and Dutch Harbor, and
going as far as Umnak. Then they
visited st. Paul Island, where the
US. Fish and Wildlife Service is
sponsoring improvements of the
existing airport.

TRANSFERS STRIKE
SETTLED;LAB0RERS'
DISPUTE IS Still ON
of ,JIneau'S three week Old

One of Juneau's three-week-old
strikes affecting local construction
work has been settled, and labor
leaders were hopeful today that the
other would be settled in the near
future.
Contractors late yesterday signed
with the transfers union, Local 10,
which had been striking since July
3 for a working agreement.
The contract signed yesterday
calls for a wage of S2.O8 per hour, T..
B. Erickson, executive secretary of
the Alaska Federation of Labor,
said.
But many of the drivers will not
be able to go to work until an
agreement is signed between con-
tractors and the Construction and
General Laborers, Local 1903 (AFL),
and piekets sleave the construction
jobs.
Prospects for an early settlement
of the laborers' strike were bright
ened today when two independent
contractors signed contract with
the Iaborers' organization.
The laborers' walkout was also
called July 3, and Erickson said at
that time that they were seeking
recognition of a contract already
accepted by some contractors here,
and by contractors in Haines, Skag-
way. Petersburg and Ketchikan."
The laborers' have been asking
for 81 per hour, and a compromise
offer of S1.85 per hour by the Jul
neau Contractors and Employers
Association has been turned down

TOT0p OF WORLD

Thirty hours of flying in Alaska
has shown William Wincapaw, pri-
ate pilot for C. r. Vose and Ha-
kon B. Friele on a trip around
he territory's perimeter, more
cenery than four years of South
American flying.

Mr.. Friele, vice President OF
& P and manager of the Nakat
Packing Corp, salmon division of
the A & P, has been coming to
Alaska for more than thirty years,
but the present trip is his first

lnce broker of New York, friend
and business associate of Mr.. Friele,
was in Fairbanks a few years ago,
]ut this time he, too, saw the Arc
ic for the first time.
Neither Wincapaw or Thomas
styles his co-pilot and mainten-
lnce man, had ever been to Alaska
before, though Alaska flying is not
unlike that the pilot had known

commercial pilot from 1887 until
1910.

Bitter Elections

the organizational setup of Con-
gress. Senator Thomas first came
to the Senate in 1927 and is now
completing his fourth term in the
upper house. A third candidate
for the nomination is a red
headed preacher in one of Okla
homa City's large churches, Rev.
William Alexander. Mr.. Alex
ander is widely known as a civic
and convention speaker. He owns
his own plane and he says that if
he is elected he will sit in his Sem
ate seat on week days and fly
back to his church for Sunday
services each week.
Senator Thomas has not been
defeated in a Democratic primary
in ~ years. However, he won
denomination six years ago by a
vote OF 10000 to $1,000 for
one opponent and $4,000 for an
other. This year the election laws
of the State call for a runoff, if
no candidate has a majority of
the vote cast and under the
circumstances, Mr.. Monroney's S
chances appear particularly bright.
Iowa will be a real battle-ground
this year, both in the primaries
and in the general election. Sena-
tor Hickenlooper, Republican, is a
candidate for denomination. Earl
Wisdom, former attorney gen.
eral of the State, has entered the
Republican primary against him.
On the Democratic side, former
Representative Ohio Wearin, who
ran against Senator Gillette for
the Democratic senatorial nomi-
nation in 1888 in an attempted
Roosevelt purge" of Gillette, has
announced. On Wednesday last
Undersecretary of Agriculture Al
bert j. Loveland, also announced
his candidacy. His entry brings
the Brannan farm plan into the
campaign in Iowa in a big way.
Senator Gillette does not believe
that the Brannan plan should be
tied to the Democratic senatorial
candidate in Iowa-and strange
as it may seem, he may throw his
influence back of Wearin.
Former Senator Reynolds is
seeking comeback against Sena-
tor Graham of North Carolina. It
will be a surprise to many, how
ever, if Mr.. Graham fails to win
nomination.
Senatorial contests in the gen.
eral election which will be fol-
lowed closely are those of Senator
Lehman Of New York, Democrat;
Senator Magnuson of Washing
ton, Democrat; Senator Donnell
of Missouri. Republican; Senator
Capehart of Indiana, Republican;
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin, Re-
publican, and Senators Taylor,
Democrat (vice-presidential can
didate with Henry Wallace in
l948), and Dworshak, Republican,
both of Idaho.

ton is that it would give dictato-
rial powers to a few men. Morse
is probably unbeatable in Oregon
today. either in the primary or the
general election.
John Mcbride, secretary to Rep
resentative White of Idaho, has
filed, too. in the Republican pri-
mary to run against Senator
Morse. He is an eleventh-hour
entry.
On the Democratic side the can
didates are Howard F. Latourette,
66. former Democratic national
committeeman, one time State
legislator, and Portland attorney;
and Louis A. Wood, 66, professor
emeritus of economics at the Uni
versity Of Oregon. Mr.. Wood was
defeated for Representative in
1946 and failed to get the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination in
1948. Neither has chance against
Senator Morse.
Senator Tobey is challenged by
Wesley Powell, war veteran and
former administrative assistant to
Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire. Mr.. Powell is seeking the
support of Republicans who have
been dissatisfied with Senator To-
bey's attitude on domestic issues.
He is a newcomer and will have
trouble defeating the veteran
Tobey.s
Senator Young OF North Dakota
and Senator Gurney of South
Dakota, Republicans, will have to
fight for denomination, too. Sena-
to Young will be the candidate of
the ROC-the Republican Or
ganization Committee and the
regular Republicans as opposed
the LANCER faction and the Nom
Partisan League which Senator
LANCER carries around in his
pocket. His opponents have not
yet settled on a candidate. The
Langerites would like to see for
mer Republican Robertson enter
the race as an independent.
The announcement a couple of
weeks ago of the senatorial can
didacy of Representative Case of
South Dakota came as a surprise.
Mr.. Case is making a play for the
Senate seat now held by Senator
Gurney, a Republican. Mr.. Cur
ney has been in the Senate since
1899 and Mr.. Case in the House
since 1887.
In Oklahoma another veteran
Senator is challenged by a men,
ber of the House-Senator Elmer
Thomas, Democrat. His oppo-
nent for nomination is Represen-
tative A. S. Mike Monroney who is
completing a sixth two-year term
in the House, and whose name
along with that of former Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin, is at

Sea Hawks Defect
 Palmer Moose ,54-38
(Continued from Page D

The scoring by the Sea Hawks was unusual in that only three of the team hit - Anderson, Suydam, and Steele. Deigh, Ray Anderson, and Lewis, at guard positions, played very well, con- trolling the defensive board and getting the ball to their team mates.
 Palmer played steady game. Much can be said for this team, who after a full day of travel ing put on the floor show they did, picking out the weak spots in Stewards defense, and getting stronger all the way.
 The travelling factor and all that goes with it in Alaska is the reason Seward is favoring a change for the determination of the championship title to games on all courts instead of at a tournament at Anchorage, for this method equalizes all factors.
 Coach Critics of Palmer spoke highly of the Seward team and of the officiating.
 Team members of both teams en yed a school-sponsored dance and refreshments after the game. Sportsmanship was at it's best.
 At the halftime spectators saw an enactment of "At the Barn Dance" by tn e Baton Corps, accompanied by the high school orchestra, both under the able leadership of Miss Calnan.
