AIR TRANSPORTATION

Every so often we hear protests from high places that Juneau the capital of Alaska does not have satisfactory, reliable air transportation.
 Not infrequently the official finger of criticism is pointed at Pan American World Airways. Sometimes it is said that don't have the best airline service in the world because Pan American is monopoly" and is caously unconcerned with the transportation needs of the Territory.
 Recently Pan American Clipper commanded by a veteran Alaska pilot held up for more than 48 hours at Annette from Seattle to Juneau.
 The flight could not be brought safely into Juneau because of ice the field here.
 When the Clipper did come in two days overdue, it was not because any miracle had transformed the Juneau airport into safe place for modern, four engine aircraft to land.
 That plane got in because airline and airport people worked all night, spreading 1900 pounds of rock salt icy runways. Their labor melted enough ice to make flight operations barely possible within the rigid restrictions of Pan Ans safety standards
 Few of us will criticize Pan Am for delaying its passengers rather than willfuy subjecting them to the dangers of landing under marginal conditions
 But a longer runway resurfaced in such that proper drainage will water slush before it becomes dangerous ice might provide much of the complaints that operations of safety minded, scheduled airines reliable enough to meet the needs of Juneau.
 Governor Gruening is working for needed Juneau airport modernization. So is the Chamber of Con- merce. So is the Civil Aeronautics Administration So is Pan American and is Pacific Northern.
 This latest example of poor airline service' well
