Kodiak Left Out
(Kodiak Mirror

tKodiak Mirror)
 Kodiak residents received the recent announce ment of direct route arlines from Alaska tc Seattle with mixed emotions.
 Many hailed the announcement as progressive step in the field transportation and without doubt they correct
 But most residents and businessmen especially those in the Chamber of Commerce, feel like the sucker who purchased genuine gold brick from the the travelling city slcker and later discovered he had bought chunk of iron F The Chamber of Commerce honestly believed when it sent to the Civil Aeronautics Board President Truman and host of other governmental figures that it supporting what it thought request for a direct Kodiak Seattle route for Pacific Nor thern Airnes.
 Whether the facts were misrepresented to the c. of C. by the airline whether they were mis- understood is the question.
 The C. of C. believed and the evidence supports that belief that by wiring CAB and the president, it was working for direct route from here to Seattle
 The City Council also sent wires requesting a direct route from here to Seattle, it thought that was what PIMA had asked for. The following wire was sent to President Truman by the city and signed by Mayor Lee c. Bettinger: For several years the people of this area have awaited a decision in the U.S.-Alaska Service Case to provide an increasing need for direct service rom here to the US. We fully support PNAS appH- cation and respectfully urge that you give ln- mediate attention to their application
 The C. of c. sent similar wire to the President and to the CAB
 From such evidence we can only conclude that e majority of Kodiak residents honestly believed they were supporting a request for direct air route
 What do we do now? The President signed an order giving PIMA a route from Anchorage to CordoVa Yakutat. Juneau, Seattle and Portland They com- pletely missed Kodiak
 It would appear that Kodiak bought gold brick

He became a member of the municipal council of Quito, then Mayor of Quito. later Minister of Defense, at a most cru cial period-1938- -'40--just before Pearl Harbor.

 At one cabinet crisis, his col leagues were in dither over the Threatened rebellion of six generals. Finally they turned to Galo Plaza, the Minister of Defense.
 sIt's very simple he said I'll fire all six generals
 He did so. And the delineation be- tween military and civilian govern nent had progressed far enough in Ecuador that the six were not given the heroes welcome given to Gen. eral Macarthur in the United States today.

Whistle-stop Campaign

Galo Plaza served as Ambassador in Washington during part of the vital war years, but resigned in l946 in protest against the dictatorship of President Velasco. He ran for President himself in 1948, staging the same sort of whistle-stop cam paign as Harry Truman and with the same general expectation that he would be defeated.
 With no political party behind him, he visited almost every town and village in Ecuador, and instead of haranguing the people with a stentorian outline of his policies, he asked their advice as to what should be done.
 Galo Plaza's slogan since elected has been more work and less pol itics."
 There are no quick solutions to Ecuador's problems" he says. "In a generation a miracle may be ac- complished But during my four years all I can do is to set the country on the right road"
 Accordingly. he has concentrated not on social reforms but on econ- omic progress. His old friend, Nel- son Rockefeller, helped with this sending American experts to study what products Ecuador can best produce. As a result, the country is already on the way to becoming one of the great rice growing area of the world, and is Slowly pulling away from it's unenviable status a

I confess to being little partial toward Galo Plaza. I got to know him when he was Ambassador to Washington, the introduction having come through the Madame Holstein and the fact that some of my cows are related to his. Incidentally, the President of Ecuador studied at the University of Maryland in order to specialize in dairying, and since that time he has imported Mshfrd ssires and some of his heifers from Homer Remsberg at Middletown, Md, sometimes flying them to Ecuador by plane.
 The fact that Galo Plaza was born in an almost unknown hotel the Hotel Martin-in New York s Greenwich village was due to the circumstance that his father, him. self President of Ecuador, was then in exile His father was buc- caneering General who made his way by the sword, but who married a daughter of a top Ecuadoriar aristocrat She has spent much ol her lie in the United States anC is still living.
 As a youngster, Galo Plaza wa! literally brought up in politics. Hi father served two terms as Presi dent of Ecuador, once before Gall was born, once afterward. Galo say him put across what were then al most revolutionary measures-pub lie education, limiting the hours 0 the peoples work, divorce, civi marriage, and appropriation of larg landed estates.
 During part of this time, Gal was a playboy at Maryland an California Universities, sporting convertible and a big coonskin coa which, incidentally, proved a life saver when the old general got fe I'D with his sons life of ease an cut off his allowance. It was the that Galo sold apples on the stree corners of New York, later got job as assistant purser on the Grac Line between New York and Chile

Ship Tieup Prolonged

Negotiation Deadlock
BY the Associated Press

| NEW YORK, June 23.-Dead-

negotiations involving CIO Marine
engineers were adjourned tonight,
Iprolonging the eight-day tieup Of
Atlantic and Gulf Coast shipping.
Federal mediators said the talks
were subject to CALI but gave

might be resumed tomorrow.
A second CIO union involved in
the stoppage. the American Radio
Association, was to continue con-
tract discussions tonight, however,
after dinner recess.
Hope that the entire maritime
picture would be cleared up by
today was raised last night when
the big CIO Maritime Union came
to terms with the same group Of

The NMU settlement was seen
as setting a pattern that would
bring a speedy settlement for its
smaller brothers.

The only people to benefit from
the ornaments race are those
who make enormous profits from
