jPROdR AM OF EXPANSION
BY ALASKA.'; AIRWAYS
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
A program of expansion which will
provide residents of the communities
it serves with the most modern air
plane facilities available was outlined
today by Arthur Johnson, manager
of the A.asksn Airways.
Among the improvements already
decided upon are:
1. A system of communication
that will keep airplanes at all times
jn communication with bases.
2. Purvey of an air route from
Fairbanks to the States, with the ob
ject Oi establishing a commercial ser
vice.
3. Establishment oi a base in the
jAuskokwim district.
4. Stationing of an amp . ^ian air
plane in Anchorage.
5. Building of a hangar at Nome
and rebuilding of the Fairbanks han
gar.
By spring all the company’s larger
planes will be equipped with com
munication sets, which eventually
will be installed in the entire fleet.
At a time when a plane is away from
jts home base it will be able to estab
lish communication in any desired
;time. This, it is pointed out, will be
^specially valuable in the event that
j* ship should happen to be forced
down. Aid eould then be summoned
immediately.
The radio department of the Avia
tion Corporaton, which control# the
Alaskan Airways, has, worked out a
-very effective set which has been
tried out at the Fairchild factory in

planes exactly similar to those found
here and found to function perfectly.
This system is extremely practical
in that it is very light, t consists of
a telegraph buzzer with a triple- i
power system. A simple code will be
used which can easily be mastered by .
the pilots. For use while the plane '
is in flight there is a generator j
hooked up with the motor. When the ,
plane is on the ground dry batteries j
are used to provide for emergency
use in case the batteries should fail, j
Mr. Johnson said the aircraft will be •
provided with a light machine which
will generate electricity either by
hand or fott power.
it is possible also that, the adio
telephone may be used as a means of
communication, he added, although
the weight would be considerable on
routes where elimination of excess
poundage is desirable. By radio tele
phone it would be possible for pilots!
to carry on direlt conversation with
ground stations.
Negotiations are now being carried
ofi between Mr. Johnson and the
home office of the Aviation Corpora
tion in New York City for the pdr
pose of a survey oi a route between
Fairbanks and the States. This route
would be via Dawson and Whitehorse.
‘The survey will De made just as
soon as we can get at it,” he said, an
addedl that he expected the trial;
flight would be made in the spring.]
There is no dobut In Mr. Johnson’s
mind that such a service will be es
tabhed. It is planned to use trimo
tored transport planes on the airway
which will connect interior Alaska
with the outside world.
*T anticipate puttinf in a base in
the Kuskokwim distrilt, possibly at
McCrath,” Mr. Johsnon stated. A
hangar will be built at the selected
point and one or more planes sta
tioned there. These will probably be
small shisp for local service, while
larger planes will fly to the Kusko
kwim from the main bases.
