'PNA SHOWS HIGH
 TRAFFIC INCREASE

In October, Pacific Northern Air lines experienced its best north
 bound October in history, from the
 Juneau Airport" according to Rob- ert Bob" Pheasant, District Traffic Manager for the airline in Juneau.
 All categories of traffic show a substantial increase over October of 1949. Passenger traffic increased 45 per cent; Air Cargo traffic in creased 75 per cent and U. s. Mail increased 26 per cent. Pheasant at tributes the increases to generally lower passenger fares instituted by PIMA during the year, increased commercial activity in the Territory and to the increased commercial traffic between Southeast Alaska and Anchorage and to the west ward.
 Pacific Northern Airlines had a 100 per cent operating factor during October which also is an improve ment over previous years when some flights were cancelled because of weather conditions. Of interest to everybody, it should be pointed out that Pacific Northern Airlines over the entire year has an operating factor" for all of it's routes in the Territory of 98 per cent which is equal to or better than the domestic airlines operating in the States. The operating factor" is based on the of plane-miles scheduled to the number of plane miles actually flown.
 Pheasant is now outside on a va cation, and at the present time. he is in Eastern Washington. He plans on making a trip to Southern Cal ifornia before returning to Juneau.

NEW YORK, April 21-Some

their timepieces ahead one hour
April 80. ushering in another
season of daylight saving time.
But the advent of daylight saw
ing will be ignored by some 90
million other Americans, mostly
in the rural regions of the South
Midwest and Far West.
Clock-switching will be gen.
eral in the heavily industrial areas
of the East and in most Of the
Nations large cities.
Detroit, however, will remain
on standard time. Most Of the
nearby Province of Ontario. with
the exception of the night club
area across the international
Bridge from Detroit, will observe
daylight time. The night clubs
will stay on standard time to gain
another hour of business under
Canada's 2 m. curfew.
Some confusion seems almost
certain to arise out of railroad
schedules. Most roads will cling
to standard time but others will
operate on the daylight time.
Radio networks will use the
same system adopted last year,
switching their major shows in
the East to daylight time. Net
work stations in the South and
West will be permitted to rebroad-
cast them an hour later if they
wish. so that listeners in the
areas can hear them at the usual
time.

D~;I~oe k41I paTSNrfnr
Mr.. Truman, in an address to
the American Society Of News
paper Editors, called for a cam
paign of truth" to outline to the
peoples of the world this country's
desire for peace.
Foy D. Kohler. chief Of the State
Departments international Broad
casting Division. said in New York
yesterday that to "do the job" the

present annual $40 million, plus
some $50 million for new equip
ment spread over two or three

they can be reached-with a view
to closing the mental gulf that
separates the United States from

the universal hope for freedom and
peace"
Senator Benton and some of the
other sponsors of the proposal met
with Secretary Acheson yesterday,
The Connecticut lawmaker quoted
Mr.. Acheson as saying the State
Department is planning an ex-
panded information program.

the problem of time in the devel-
opment of facilities and the train
ing of manpower, Senator Ben
ton said.
