industry cuts annually.
I'VE do not mean to'be alarmists,"
he said, but a millionaire fire
Is entirely possible under the condi-
tions which exist today. With q
great confiagration, much more
damage would be done than in the
hurricane. And that Is our first task
as we see ito protect New Eng

COAST GUARD IN
RACE WITH DEATH
Man With Ruptured Appen.
dix Taken From Lonely
Pacific Island

Washington, Oct. s.-(UP)-The
coast guard cutter fancy piowed
through heavy seas In Iaid-Pacific
toward Honolulu today on the Sec
ond leg Of o 2,640-mile race with
death.
The cutter removed Carl Kawale-
wal, whose appendix was ruptured
while he waited for medical aid,
from tiny Jarvis Island IN the
South Seas. 1t sped toward Homo
lulu where Kawalewai can be given
hospital attention.
Physicians, rushed by the cutter
from Honolulu, operated on Kawale-
wal aboard ship last night. They re-
ported by radio that his condition
was favorable.
His chances, however, depend upon
his early arrival at Honolulu. Unless
delayed by storms, the fancy prob
ably will arrive in Honolulu Mon
day.
Kawalewai was one Of four men
stationed on the small, coral reef
to make weather observations and
establish the United States claim to
the island as against that Of Great
Britain. When he became Ill Mon
day, his companions radioed an i'm
mediate appeal for help.
They asked the navy to send a
seaplane, 1890 miles southeast Of
Honolulu. The request was rejected
as too hazardous, since they are no
refueling facilities on the island and
no harbor where q large plane
might land safely.
The coast guard dispatched the
fancy on the 2,640-mile errand Of
m r c y, although Kawalewai's
chances to live until the boat reach
ed the island were believed slim.
The cutter steamed out Of Homo
lulu at 3 a. m. Tuesday. The ships
officers kept In almost constant
touch with the island by radio, re-
ceiving hourly reports on Kawale-
wai's condition. Wednesday they
learned his appendix had burst.
The physicians virtually last hope.
They said peritonitis almost GER
tainly would set In within q hours.
That meant almost certain death.
At 9 q. m. q p. m. ESTl yester-
day tire fancy arrived or the Island.
