Pan American’s bid for a certificate to serve Anchorage was denied. This was the only addition that Pan American had sought to its Alaska routes, which are all permanent. Here are other results of the decision made by the President for issuance by the CAB: Northwest Airlines: A permanent certificate to operate between Seattle/Tacoma and Anchorage; a temporary certificate for three years to operate between New York/Chicago and Anchorage via Minne-apolis/St. Paul and Edmonton, Canada. Alaska Airlines.Renewed temporary certificate for five years to operate between Portland/Seattle/Tacoma and Fairbanks. Pacific Northern Airlines: A temporary certificate to operate between Portland/Seattle/Tacoma and Anchorage via Ketchikan, Juneau, Yakutat and Cordova—but not allowed to carry local traffic between Ketchikan and Juneau; action on application to serve Ko-diac deferred. The Board also decided to defer any recommended decision on the issues pertaining to service solely within Alaska provided by airlines that also operate to the States. These matters will be decided in another case now pending. Airlines carried 68 per cent of all overseas and international traffic from the United States last year. PAA alone carried 28 per cent of the total. PAA Now Making Hotel Reservations In Honolulu Passengers flying to Honolulu can now get confirmed hotel space at the same time they make their Clipper reservations. This service is available at any Pan American ticket office in the world and applies to all the principal hotels in Honolulu. At just a few peak periods during the year the passenger may have to wait for confirmation of his room reservation, but this wait will never be more than 24 hours. Captain Henry C. “Kris” Kris-tofferson has been named Project Manager for the Technical Assistance Mission for Pakistan International Airlines that was recently announced in the CLIPPER. Of the 24 Pan American employees who will direct this program under the U. S. Government’s Foreign Operations Administration, 20 will come from the PAD. Besides Captain Kristofferson, others from the PAD who have accepted assignments to date include Don Conklin of Ground Operations, to be. Regulatory and Manuals Manager; Jack Peak, Facilitation Superintendent, to be Traffic and Sales Manager; Charlie Stiefelmaier, Meteorology Superintendent, to be Chief Dispatcher; Emer Bassett, Regional Operations Superintendent in Seattle, to be Operations Manager; M. A. “Speed” Deutsch, SOM in Hong Kong, to be Ground Operations Manager; Harry Kiester, Engineering Superintendent, to be Maintenance Manager; and Frances Swartout of PACKIN' FOR PAKISTAN Captain ‘‘Kris’’ Kristofferson, above, will head the group of Pan American experts who will work with Pakistan International Airlines for the next three years. This project marks the first time that the U.S. Government has used aviation in its technical assistance program to stimulate the economic and industrial growth of under-developed regions. Legal and Hope Mallory of Economic Planning, who will serve as secretaries. Three accountants and a Supply Manager will be supplied by system headquarters in New York. Positions yet to be filled by PAD personnel include a chief pilot, two check pilots, a communications specialist, four maintenance specialists, a passenger service specialist and two traffic and sales specialists. “Spec” Winchester, Employment Superintendent at San Francisco, is handling the job of briefing and coordinating the transfers of personnel involved in the project. Headquarters of the mission will be in Karachi, where the group will act as technical advisors to the Pakistan Government in all phases of airline operation. PIA presently operates between East and West Pakistan, in India, and on to Cairo and London. The program will last for three years. “Speed” Deutsch is already in Karachi, while Captain Kristofferson and Emer Bassett are leaving this Saturday. The remainder of the group will probably all depart by the end of June. Their families will follow shortly thereafter. In Karachi they will have their choice of living either in a house or apartment. Mobile X-Ray Unit To Be At PAD Headquarters All Employees Can Get Free Chest X-Ray On Company Time PAA’s San Francisco employees will be offered the opportunity to have a free chest x-ray at the base on next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday—June 15, 16 and 17. The x-rays will be taken by the San Mateo TB Association with its mobile unit. This service, which is financed through the sale of Christmas Seals, is offered free once a year to PAA employees.' Employees will be allowed time off from work to have the x-rays taken. All supervisors have appointment cards. Medical authorities recommend that everyone over 15 years of age have a chest x-ray once a year. MY SISTER AND I The PAD is still looking for its first full-fledged sister team of stewardesses, but reached the half-way mark last month when Bland Lane, left, and Audre Hop-son transferred from New York. The two girls are half-sisters. New Lower Trans-Atlantic Cargo Rates Boost Flights Pan American will increase its trans-Atlantic all-cargo flight frequency from three to five weekly on July 1st. The third weekly flight was just added last month, but new low tariffs proposed by PAA will go into effect July 1st. Additional business created the need for the further increase in flight frequency. QUIP BY A VIP John Jay Hopkins, chairman of the Board of General Dynamics Corporation, left San Francisco for Tokyo by Clipper two weeks ago. He was leading a three-man team of atomic specialists for discussions of peace-time application of atomic power in Japan. One of General Dynamic’s divisions is the Electric Boat Company, builder of the world’s first atomic submarine. Sort.was not unusual that during the predeparture interview Pubrel’s Robin Kinkead posed this question to Hopkins: “Confidentially, just how long can the Nautilus remain under water?” After a few furtive glances to assure himself that no red agents were lurking the baggage chutes, Hopkins replied: “Well, it has to come up every three years—so the boys can reenlist.”
