(Alaska Service Record)

Last week It. Phillip Sevilla of the Air Corps had a very har- roWng experience. It. Sevilla, along with Its. Paul Van Osdol, Harold Mitts and Morgan Giffin were on week end hiking and fishing trip in the Ship Creek area. After having hiked about l2 miles up the creek the Lieu tenants make camp for the night.
 Included in the equipment were four oilskin Air Corps tents. These tents accommodate one persons and are all in one piece, including the bottom of the tent, which is sewed to the sides. The only opening in the tent is in the front which can be closed by a zipper.
 The men retired early after their hike and of course all slept soundly. Around 4 o'clock Sun day morning the men were awak ened by shout from It. Sevilla. Leaping from bed they found that a spark from the camp fire had ignited Sevilla's tent at the entrance, trapping him in the tent. The fire was spreading rap idly and Sevilla was trying des- perately to get out. With the as sistance of the other members of the party he finally managed to crawl from the burning tent.
 It. Sevilla suffered some bad burns on his hands and is minus some hair which was singed in his attempt to get out. It. Paul Van Osdol also suffered minor bur,s on his right hand when he aided Sevilla.
 After this experience the Lieu tenants started on the road back right after breakfast. Both It. Sevilla and It. Van Osdol were treated at the station hospital for burns.
 The only comment that the men had was that they were dis appointed with the fishing.

HOOVER IS ANXIOUS TO AVOID WAR

 Address Over Radio
 In a radio talk, the former President contended neither iso- lation nor intervention is wise or possible. He said that President Roosevelt is right in protesting against the firing on United Stat es Warships or the sinking of merchant ships but declared:
 Unapproved and Undeclared
 '"The Presidents policy of edg- ing our warships into danger zones, of sending American mer- chant ships with contraband raises the most critical of all questions. These steps toward war are unapproved and unde- clared by Congress.
 'There are other ways than going to war to secure reparation for transgression of our just rights and respect for them"
