Homer Newspaper Comments Editorially

Reprinted from the Homer News of January 13.
 It now seems that the States Alaska air route case will not be settled in the immediate future and that there is still need for Alaskans to urge Administration officials and their congressional friends to renew the certificates of Pacific Northern Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
 Latest information now has it that the decision as to whether or not Pacific Northern or Alaska Airlines will continue to serve us between here and the states may lie with fifth and as yet unap- pointed member of the Civil Aero nautics Board.
 According to reports. Oswald Ryan, one of the five commission CTS whose term expired December 31, will not be reappointed by Pres ident Eisenhower. Ryan favored Pan American Airways who would benefit if the two Nlaska carriers were left out in the cold. This leaves the CAB with two members favoring PNA and two against re- newing the PNA permit. Thus the new and fifth member may decide the case.
 Alaskans are not without support in this fight. Both the Washing ton and Oregon delegates in Con- gress are supporting us. However, it behooves us to let the powers that be in Washington know that Alaskans stand one hundred per cent behind the two carriers, Pac- fife Northern and Alaska Airlines, that have served them so we'll in the past, not only on the States Alaska run, but on intra-Alaska flights as well.

OCEAN CAR-FERRY OPERATION

lnOHOpOly.
 OCEAN CAR-FERRY
 OPERATION
 The Department of Defense re leased this week the long-awaited affirmative Wyer report on the economic feasibility of operation of ocean car-ferries between the continental United States and the railbelt area of Alaska.
 The study, made under contract for the Army Transportation Corps by the New Jersey transportation consultant firm of William Wyer and Company, was submitted in May of last year but was not re- leased until this week. "The study" the report states. has been confined to a consideration of the handling of cargo and the inter- relations of the handling of pass engers anC cargo have been large ly ignored; in analyzing the pot ential operation, the only ports which have been considered are Seattle, Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Seward and Whittier" Seven points were covered in the follow ing summary of conclusions:
 "D The operation of ocean car ferries between the continental United States and the Railbelt of Alaska is economically feasible; @ Such an operation should be designed to handle both rail cars and highway trailer vehicles; (3) The recommended vessel is of the IS knot, crane on ship, 'Trainship' type capable of carrying 12S rail care or highway trailers: (D Three vessels operating on an S-Gay turn around will handle substantially all of the available traffic and provide a fast frequent service: (5) The vessels should operate between Seattle and Whittier; (6) If the operation is not subjected to competition from MSTS vessels. it should be able to secure enough of the available traffic to enable it to save shippers an average of ! over 30 percent on their trans portation bills from loaded freight car or truck in Seattle to loaded freight car or truck in Whittier and still earn the historical maxi mum permissible return of 6 per cent after taxes on the required investment of $25 million; and CD
 It is believed that return of 10 percent after taxes is necessary to attract the risk capital required
 for such an operation. Our stud
 ies indicate that an average saving of over 17 per cent to shippers
 can be made and still permit a
 return of 10 percent"

John L. Mccormick, director of Selective Service for the Territory of Alaska, announced recently that he has been advised by General Lewis B. Hershey, National Dir. ector of Selective Service, that the individual files of registrants of the Selective Training and Ser vice Act of 1940 ,as amended, are now in the preliminary stage of being disposed of, as they have served all discernible administra- tive purposes.

Inquiries should be made to the following address:

STATES - ALASKA CASE


 Continuation of the present air transportation pattern to and from Alaska by Pacific Northern Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Pan American and Northern Airlines was urged by the entire Washington State dele gation in Congress and Delegate Bartlett in joint letters sent to the President and the Civil Aero nautics Board this week.
 Tt is the understanding of the Senators and Representatives from Washington and the delegates from Alaska the letter stated, that the CAB, by recent vote, has de- cided to eliminate Pacific North ern Airlines and Alaska Airlines from States-Alaska service, anC to confine both carriers to intra-Al- aska routes on which they are permanently certificated The ef- feet would be to virtually destroy two airlines whose organization and equipment have been expanded to a point where restricted oper- ation would not be effecient"
 The ten signers of the communi- cations which went to the White House and Acting Chairman Chan Gurney of the CAB and members of that board, also stated their unanimous opposition to any post ponment of a decision on the States-Alaska case until the CAB completed a proposed investiga- tion of intra-Alaska air routes and operators. The public interest will not be served by postpone ment, and such an action would work an undue hardship on the carriers involved. in their efforts to process financing essential to their service and facilities"
 In urging recertification of the four carriers, Senator Magnuson and Jackson, Representative Mag nuson, Holmes, Horan, Westland, Mack. Pelly, Tollefson and Dele gate Bartlett pointed out: Stock holders of the two companies would face loss of their invest ment; state-side facilities would have to be abandoned, and many employees would be deprived of their jobs. At the same time, air service to the Territory would be reduced and, in the event of em- ergency Alaska would be totally dependent upon two carriers. The fact that steamship passengre service between the States and Alaska has just been suspended making the Territory dependent upon air travel exclusively, en- phasjzes the need for more, not less, air transportation.
 Delegate Bartlett, who on sev- eral occasions has urged members of the CAB to maintain the present serivce, has stated: "Denial of recertification to Pacific Northern Airlines and to Alaska Airlines would have a monopolistic position with respect to the Fairbanks route and would gain admittance to the States-Anchorage run at the ex- pense of PNA. Not only would such action deal perhaps mortal blow to the carrier which, together with Alaska Airlines, We consider to be local carrier but 1t would place Pan American in dominant position. I would argue just as strongly that Pan American should not have its. head chopped off in the Alaska service. but no one company should be placed by gov. ernment in the situation where

Rockville Taxes Hit
By HaIpine Residents

A group of angry citizens ap-
peared before Rockville's Mayor
and Council last night to protest
that they pay taxes "for moth
ing" The property owners are
residents of the Rockville Pike
Halpine area which was annexed
to the town in 1858.
Charging that they had been
billed for 1854 taxes without
warning, spokesmen for the
group said the previous city ad-
ministration had promised not
to tax them until sewers and
water were available in the area.
Neither property owners nor
city officials have been able to
turn up such an agreement in
writing.
Mayor Dickran Y. Hovsepian
pointed out that water has been
available in the area since July
Of last year and that bids to
construct a $35,000 sewer lines
there will be opened this month.
Citing city plans for extend
ing utilities in the next two
years Mayor Hovsepian said that
CLOSE to a million dollars" is to
be invested in developing the
Halpine area.
The Council refused to grant
any tax reductions but promised
the land owners to install sewer
and other improvements "as
quickly as the towns finances
permit"

Fairfax 6. 0.P. States
Nominating Session

Fairfax County Republicans
have agreed to hold a mass
meeting, instead Of a primary.
to nominate candidates for
election in the fall.
The decision was reached at
a meeting of the G. o. P. Com
mittee last night in Falls
Church High School.
Democrats are expected to
nominate by primary, if neces-
sary, for such Offices as State
Senator, delegate, sheriff and
commemorative attorney.
Republican committeeman ex-
pressed the view that inasmuch
as no national or Statewide Of
fees are to be filled this year
the local party could better de-
vote its energies to completing
its organization in the county.
The committee approved a
resolution urging the Atomic
Energy Commission to select
Fairfax County for a dispersal
site for the agency. The Acc
now is searching the Virginia
Maryland area for a site to build
