ASHINGTON The average motorist with a car in good condition and a taste for adventure off the beaten path will find a trip over the Alaskan highway a memorable experience and he will not encounter too many difficulties in the matter of getting service and accommodations. This is the gist of a report issued by the American Automobile Association following an inspection. Other tips for the prospective Alaskan traveler: In addition to having the car in first class condition, carry a good jack and two spare tires mounted on the wheels. Driving over gravel on a hot day it is a good idea to stop every couple of hours to let the tires cool. In summer the road is dusty which can be annoying when you have to follow the car ahead for some distance. Paved road drivers should take it quite slowly until they get used to the feel of gravel under the wheels and behavior of the car on turns. Passing a car trailing a cloud of dust can be very dangerous. Wait until you can make sure that there's no car coming the other way and that the road ahead is straight.
