Capt. Carlsen Refuses Fortune For His Story

FALMOUTH, England, (P) - After turning down offers of wealth and Hollywood glamor in favor Of the sea which took his ship, Capt. Kurt Carlsen wound up his business with authorities here today and is free to return home.
 The shy little 37-year-old skip per, whose gallant stand against the winds and waves of the At lantic brought him a hero's hon. orS when he stepped ashore here Friday, said nobody was going to buy him away from the sea.

SEATTLE, (P) - Leo Kotin, chairman of the Regional Wage Stabilization Board, left Saturday on the Baranof for Juneau, to con- fer with Alaska officials on wage problems.

Russia Proposes Another Atomic Control Plan

PARIS, .(P)-Russia's Andrei Y Vishinsky proposed Saturday the simultaeous prohibition of atomic weapons and international control of atomic energy. This was an at- tempt to meet western refusals to accept ban on the bombs with out controls.

FBI Probe Ordered
By MeGranery After
Telegram on Rieca

Gangland influence in the De-
partment Of Justice, If any, is to
be spotlighted by the FBI. Indi-
cations of it became apparent
when a telegram went to the Fed
eral attorney at Chicago to stop
trying to put Gangster Paul (The
Waiter) Ricca behind bars. Ricca
is a former AL Capone associate.
Attorney General McGranery
repudiated the telegram. He also
countermanded the order con-
tanned in the message. He also
ordered District Attorney Otto
Kerner. jr.. to continue his efforts
to revoke Ricca's parole. At the
same time. he ordered the FBI to
f1nd out how the telegram was sent.
"The Attorney General" JUS
tice Department statement said,
wants the public to have all the
facts in connection with the issu-
ance Of the telegram, and. for that
reason, has asked the bureau
FBD to investigate the matter
for him."
The statement also referred to
the telegram as having been sent
"by the Chief of the Criminal Di-
vision" That is Assistant Attor-
ney General Charles B. Murray.
Mr.. Murray had seen the telegram,
a spokesman said, but had not
written it himself. It also said the
message had been approved by
Robert L. Stern, the acting So
licitor General. However, it was
added that it had not been
cleared with the top policy group" !"
Four men, including Ricca, were
convicted in 1914 of conspiring to
extort money from the motion pic
ture industry. They were paroled
in 1947. But these were revoked
the following year. This action
was taken because of criticism
from members of Congress and
others.
But Ricca went to court. Judge
Michael L. Igoe, in United States
Court in Chicago, ruled that the
revocation was illegal because
Ricca had not been given a hear
ing. Mr.. McGranery has directed
Kerner to appeal this
decision to the United States
Court Of Appeals, If it is not too

A STATEMENT TO OUR FRIENDS
THE CITIZENS OF ALASKA
AR TRa
BY AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATES

We receive so many calls every day from
the travelling public wanting to know how
we are progressing in the fight to provide
economical transportation for everybody"
that we have decided to issue this statement
to the citizens of Alaska:
AS you know, it was Alta that pioneered
C-46 air transportation between the States
and Alaska. After conclusive tests we de-
cided that the GAG = the Curtis Commando
was the ship for economical air freight
and low cost passenger trade between the
States and Alaska. We started using these
ships. That was five years ago.
Streamlined Operations
So successful have the C-46s been in the
been the operations of Alta, that we became
the envy of numerous scheduled carriers
From the beginning even unto day our
type of efficient operation has resulted in
the lowest cost air freight end the most
economical passenger transportation be-
tween the States and Alaska
We opened up new field of passenger
travel and air cargo. On a demand basis,
the business of Alta grew by leaps and
bounds. It was conclusively established by
the investigations of the us. Senate Small
Business Committee that the low cost nom
schedule operations of Alta did not take
traffic from the subsidized scheduled car
riers.
Compiled with Every Regulation
Our company complied with every regu-
lation and order of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration. Our maintenance and rou-
tine were as perfect and thorough as that of
the most rigid scheduled carrier. Yet the
CAB started program of economic regula-
ton harassment which finally resulted in
our appealing to the Federal Court of APP
peals in Washington DC, for the right to
stay in business = to serve the low-cost
Alaskan passenger and air freight trade.
The Federal Court sustained Alta in most
of its contention in its reply to the charges
of the CAB. Alta was ordered by the Court
to prepare it's case for hearing, and rules
were set down whereby Alta might stay in
business and serve the public pending the
hearing and the decision.

CAB Dealt Alta Another Blow

However, before the case could be heard,
the CAB dealt Alta another blow. 1t slapped
down an order cutting the gross weight of
the Gas, when carrying passengers, from
$4,000 pounds to $4,000 pounds. The edict
became effective on 48 hours notice, and
took most of the profit out of our operations.
This order was issued in spite of the fact
that thorough investigation by the CAA
of the GAG over the past five years has sus-
tanned the take-of and landing gross weight
of the GAG at $4,000 pounds. The investi-
cation showed the CAS- to be an exceptional
carrier, and the 48,000-pound gross weight,
with passengers, to in no way endanger the
lives of passengers and crew.
The citizens of Alaska can come to only
one conclusion - The CAB will go to any
length to kill OF low cost freight and pas
senger transportation supplied by Alta and
other non-scheduled carriers.
Are We in Business?
Yes, we are in business. And we are going
to continue fighting like the very devil to
stay in business. re are Sill bringing into
Alaska a very large volume of the perish
able foods you eat and We are cerrvin9 the
bulk OF the low-cost passenger business in
and out Of Alaska.
Our Thanks to Yeu
All of us in Alta want to thank you for
the wonderful support you have given to us
in our fight to serve Alasl:a and to help in
the development of the Territory.
We are in there pitching for business and
o;o i,,
When our case comes up in the US. Court
of Appeals in Washington, DC, we sim
cerely believe that this high tribunal will
uphold our right under the American flag
to stay in business, to make an honest living
and to perform much-needed public serv-
ice.
When you see a sleek GAG with big
Alta on its tail heading north or heading
south, you'll know that we are doing our
level best to give Alaska the best in low
cost air freight and passenger service.
