ALASKA COASTAL, ELLIS, ANNOUNCE
 WINTER FARES

Alaska Coastal Airlines and Ellis Air Lines have announced a new winter excursion fare on the Juneau Ketchikan route effective November 1, 1850, until March 31, 1850. The new rates are 20% lower than the normal fares. In addition to this reduction, the 10% discount on round trip tickets will be continued.
 The institution of winter ex- oursion fares is an experiment heretofore never attempted by Alaska Coastal or Ellis Airlines be- fore. AS in such cases, the reduced fares should produce sufficient ad- ditional traffic to offset the fnre reduction and conceiYably increase overall revenue If it is success ful, we plan to extend the dis count to other routes next winter. The Juneau-Ketchikan route was selected for the original experi- ment because decrease in winter travel on this route is more mark ed than on other routes and be- cause the population of commun- ities served, when considered as a whole, is greater than on any oth- or single route" the announcement said. s4

SENATOR D0WNEY URGES STATEHOOD:
 HEARING COMING

WASHINGTON, March 24-R- Senator Downey D-Calif) today urged early Senate consideration of statehood for Alaska and Hawaii.
 "As a sponsor of statehood for Alaska Downey said in a state ment. T hope it will be possible to get Senate action on these measures before the end of the sessions"
 Downey said Chairman O'Mah- oney D-Wyo) of the Senate In- terior Committee, had assured him a hearing on the two House-passed bills will be held "as soon as possible and an early report submitted to the Senate"
 The California Senator said Alaska is ready for statehood"
 The arguments against state hood for Alaska are chiefly that it is so far from the mainland and has too small population" Downey added.
 However, in these days of swift communication, Alaska is much nearer the mainland by air routes than Los Angeles is to Washington. Its present population, about 100000, is small in relation to it's area, but I am certain statehood would prove a great stimulation to new settle ment."

 Alternate Fields

ST. PAUL, Minn., March 24-lR Northwest Airlines' President said today there will be no interruption of operations to Alaska and the Orient despite notice from the Civil Aeronautics Board that some Aleu- tian air bases may be closed.
 Croil Hunter, the airline head made the statement after receiving letter from Joseph J. O'Connell, Jr., CAB chairman, who said some government aviation facilities may be closed for economy reasons.
 Hunter said the CABS statement "does rot necessarily mean that these facilities will not be main tained by the government"
 "The Department of Defense" he added, has indicated that these facilities and commercial operations between Anchorage and Tokyo via the Aleutian chain are important to our national defense"
 Hunter said Northwest at present is interested only in Shemya, used as an intermediate fuel stop. Should this base be closed, he said, other routing on some flights will be necessary and other alternate fields will be designated.

 QUERIES MOVES ON
 FERRIES pR0p0SAL

Moves, head of the Alaska Road Commission, by the Victoria Colonist, daily news paper of the British Columbia cap- ital.
 Colonel Moves, during his recent trip south, conferred in Victoria with Canadian road engineers on joint problems presented by the Alaska Highway. during which time the road commissions car-ferry proposal from Prince Rupert to Haines was discussed.
 The Colonist asked in its letter for facts and figures on the idea to connect Southeast Alaska com- munities with the two highways, to feature comprehensive report Tn future sunday edition. They will relate what has been done, and what lies in the future.
 Colonel Moves is at present go- ing through his files to send them complete information regarding the proposal.
