Flight Records Indicate Higher Cargo, Less
 Passenger Traffic in State

ANCHORAGE - More aircraft departures and fewer passengers marked the record of scheduled air transport in Alaska in the year ending June 30, 1859, according to a recent report by the Fed eral Aviation Agency.
 Nationally, the communities now numbering more than 500, served by scheduled carriers, recorded 3,232,866 aircraft departures, with 45, ,531, ,467 passengers emplaned, 156,304 tons of airmail and 474,157 tons of cargo. Each of these fig ures showed an increase over the previous year, the passengers in creasing from 43,568, ,139.
 Alaska carriers handled more tons of air mail, 7,749 to 6,5O2; and less cargo, 1O,958 to ,545. Cargo is likely to vary consider ably in Alaska, where one large construction job in a remote area will cause big increase in years figures.
