PAY-Chairman Philip Young
of the Civil Service Commission
apparently isn't too enthusiastic
over the idea of a general FED
eral employe pay raise next year.
Rather, Mr.. Young seems IN
clined to favor a reclassificatlon
of the top level of the Federal
pay scale that would give en-
ployes in the upper salary
brackets a pay boost.
The other day in San Fran
cisco, during a stopover on his
visit of West Coast Government
installations, Mr.. Young told
reporters the Commission is re-
viewing civil service pay scales.
"In my opinion" he said, the
nav scale in the classit1eo
service is out of balance. 1t
seems too high, compared with
pay in private enterprise. in the
lower brackets. and too low IN
the higher brackets"

Mr.. Sager says he has al

When he inherited the

1t has been reported that the

down. It is presumed that this
work will continue next year.
The Big Hurrah gold quartz
mine approximately 40 miles east
of Nome and which has been
flooded since 1907 has been un-
watered. 1t was sampled and
mapped. Results from this work
have caused the owners to plan
on rehabilitating the camp and
putting the mine into production
this winter. Supplies are now be-
ing shipped north. The operating
company is the Alaskan Associ-
ates, Limited, of Portland, Ore.
The Big Hurrah property also
carries scheelite.
The Zenda Gold Mining Co. has
ceased their drilling for placer tin
near Cape Mountain for the sea-
son, but the Alaska Tin Corpora
ton is reported to be continuing
with their exploratory work at
Ear Mountain.
At the Lost River Tin Mine, the
9,000-foot pipeline which is to
supply water for the operation
during the winter is nearly COM

Ton-Miles Freight In 1853


LOS ANGELES - A record
shattering ITS to 300 million

first postwar year, 1946-will be
carried by us. domestic air
lines during 1853, according to
an article in the current issue
of Planes, official publication of

This forecast, based on cur
rent business trends, was made
by Emery Johnson, vice president
and general manager of Air Car
60 Inc. a veteran of Is years in
the aviation industry.
Tonnage for the first six
months of this year exceeded
1913 million ton miles, an excess
Of Is per cent over the 101.6
million registered in the same
period in 1852.
The fact that increasing num-
bers of u. S. businessmen are
turning to air freight shipments
as an avenue to improved eff
cheney and higher profits is evil
denced by the remarkable growth
of air freight operations. In 1916,
less than Is million ton miles
were flown. BY 1949, this figure
had increased to more than 100

it approached 225 million ton

Singer Dick Haynes efforts to
escape deportation.
Specifically, the high court will
review a decision that Congress
had the power to bar aliens from

Haynes is contesting deporta-

Honolulu last June. Haynes, a
native of Argentina, and Rita
