DEATH SCORES

Original "Circus" Counts

United Press Staff Correspondent

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 81. (UPl
Back Inv 1918 crew of young,
csters fresh from the "dog fights
of France, organized a flying
circus" in Minneapolis.
The pilots, all good filters,
patched their junky planes with
baling wire and hoped from
town to town, thrilling crowds
with death-defying stunts at coun-
ty farS and carnivals.
Out of the outfit of young
dare-devils came notable names
Charles "Speed" Holman, Walter
Bullock. Dick Grace, Clarence
and Elmer Hinck and NICK
Manner. ~
And despite the daring with
which the fliers operated in their
"crates," they kept their ranks IN
tact until recently. First to go
was Holman. His plane cracked
up in an air race at Omaha, Neb'
And then-only a short time
ago-Nick Manner crashed IN MS
Northwest ah'lines luxury liner
near Bohemian, Mont. The pilot
was killed as were nine others
with him.
OTHERS STILL FLYING .r
But the rest of the bunch still
is going. Grace still is in the
stunt flying business, cracking up
planes and staging aerial battles
for the cameras in Hollywood.
Bullock is a pilot for Northwest
airlines. Elmer Hinck is an m
structor at Void Chamberlain
field in Minneapolis, and Car

PUBLIC TRUST
IN LANDS Use
URGED BY j. s.
Owners Asked to Regard
Possession as Duty

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. (UP)
Farm administration officials have
begun a campaign to place pub
lie interest" above "private profit
in administration Of the nations
natural resources.
In every branch of its natural
resources conservation work OF
the department is emphasizing
the contention that private own
ership is "public trust"
This conceution is being woven
more strongly into the 1888 soil
conservation program. Farmers
will be paid for soil practices
which conserve fertility for future
generations.
Ownership of farm and graz
ing land should be regarded as a
trust involving the obligation to
conserve as well as the privilege
of productive USE" II. Fl. Bennett,
chief of the soil conservation SER
vice, said.

"Thc old idea that ownership is
license for untrammeled exploit
tation is fast disappearing. Today
we are beginning to realize that
each parcel Of land is actually part
of a basic natural resource, IN the
preservation Of which the nation
as a whole has 4 most important
stake"
Virtually the same argument IS
advanced by F. A. SllcOX, chief Of
the Forest Service, in urging IN
creased government supervision of
forest lands, both public and pri-
vately owned.
Silcox condemned what he has
termed RUTHLESS exploitation" Of
the nations timber. Public own
ership of forest lands is essential
to "a sound national program of
forest and human conservation"
he said.
The Farm Security Administra-
ton is distributing to thousands
of theaters and schools a motion
picture entitled "The River" de-
picting the rape of nations farm
and forest lands. The film cost
approximately $4,000.
AERIAL MAPS MADE
The department has begun a
land-purchase program designed
to remove millions of acres of
land from private ownership IN
the interest of public welfare:
