SOVIET PLANNING
1 LINE TO U. S
OVER ARCTIC GAP
Aleutian Islands and Alaska
Aaain to Become Link
Between Asia, America
Short Route Is Favored
BAN rRANCISCO-(UP) Ai the
twsult of Soviet RuMla'i development
of Arctic aviation, Alaska and the
Aleutian Islands are destined again
to become the bridge between Aala
and the United States, the Institute
of Pacific Relations believes.
In aomethlnn of the same manner
In. which this route In prehistoric
times permitted the peoptea of Asia
to find entrance to the Araeric,
continent, the lnntltute la convinced
that the same route, only this time
by air, U to become the bridge be
tween the two continents.
According to an Institute survey
the Soviet already haa In view two
alternative routes for 1U aerial ser
vice to the United States. One of
these to from the moat eastern tip of
the Soviet north, Cape Chukhotak
across the Bering strait to Nome. The
second follows a more southern
course, leaving Soviet soil In Kam
chatka, and following the course of
the Comander and Aleutian Islands to
Seward, Alaaka.
Permission Not Obtained
Prom theae polnte It la aasumed
that permission can be secured from
the United States for extenalon of
lines to Seattle, although It Is be
Ueved no negotiations have been
started to date relative to terminal
and landing facilities In the United
States. f f
In- the meantime, however, the In
tltute haa ascertained that the
Soviet has been pushing the develop
ment of Arctlo aviation to a point
where It la certain that Alaaka easily
can be made the "draw-bridge to
Asia."
Reports which the Institute have
received from the Soviets northern
sea route administration show that
during 1938 plenes engaged In polar
flying during the navigation season
traveled 1,308,750 miles with 13,900
flying hours.
The number of passengers carried
was 6400 and the freight transport
ad weighed 1,960,000 pounds.
Regular Service Established
In February of this yesr, the Soviet
took on more advanced step In the
development of Arctic navigation by
establishing regular mall deliveries
between Khabarvoak to Cape Wellen
during the winter months when oth
erwise the Inhabitants of that Arctic
spot would be deprived of contact
with the outelde world.
Trial trips were made early In Feb
ruary and regular flights were begun
Feb. lo.
The Institute survey points out
that Alaaka already has a well de
veloped aviation service. During the
fiscal year ending June SO, 1938, the
TO planes In Alaska covered 9,130,939
miles, carried 16,083 passengers and
2,418.618 pounds of freight.
Linking this service with a service
by the Soviet would, the Institute be
lieves, contribute Immensely to the
development of the far north and the
Arctic regions.
Service Believed Feasible
The Soviet, with flight last sum
mer to Alaska, the aurvey finds, al
ready demonstrated, the feaslbllty of
such a service.
As yet, the Institute Is Informed,
the Soviet has not decided whether
the northern or th southern route
would be better. The more northern
route is shorter but slightly more ex
pensive to survey and construct.
However the consensus In Soviet Rus
sia Is that the northern route ta pre
ferable, although not Ideal, and some
sections of It as now flown should
be changed.
Decision also remains to bs taken
on such questions aa whether the
best flying time is In summer or
winter, what type of plane is best
adapted and what kind of freight
could be carried moat profitably.
The crux of the question, accord
Ing to the Institute, will be that of
International agreement giving the
Soviet terminal and landing facilities
on tne American continent, but pend
Ing that aetlement, steady progress la
being made tn perfecting every aspect
of Arctic and polar aviation.

1 -HOUSE LEGISLATURE
GOAL OF OHIO LEAGUE
LED BY SEN. DONAHEY
COLUMBUS, O. (UP) A one
house legislature of not more thsn
100 members to replace the present
senate and bouse of representatives
hss -been proposed by the newly
formed Ohio Single-House Legislative
league, headed by U. 8. Senator Vic
Dona hey, honorary president.
At a recent organization meeting
the league approved a draft of the
plan which' calls for one member for
each one per cent of the state's popu
latlon, or about 88,000 persons.
To overcome the danger of hasty
legislation, the plan provides that
each bill, unlms It Is sn emergency,
must receive two majority votes 10
days apart for passage.
Legislators would be elected for
two-year terms, aa at present. The
lieutenant governor would pre
side unless the membership should
chose to elect a speaker of Its own.
The plan also calls for annual ses
sions, beginning the first Monday ol
January. Special sessions could be
called by one-fifth of the member
ship. As at present, the governor
could call special sessions for specific
legislation.
The present legislature consist of
174 members, 138 In the house and
38 In the senate.
Thlraty Americans supplied revenue
of 319.964,000 In 1935 to the tress
urles of the states that legalize the
sHin of alcoholic beverages.
