A NIGHT trip on skis down Mt.
N Whitney, highest peak in the
United States, has set world rec
ord that all but cost the life of Hans
Georg, internationally famed winter
sports star.
Daring mountain skiers have long
wanted to attempt the great Cali
fornia peak, which rises 1895 feet
above sea level. But ice, snow slides,
falling rock, and sudden storm con-
ditions have offered too small a
chance of survival.
Prepared for his attempt by
weeks of study of the mountain,
Georg made the upward climb in
something over twelve hours. With
only brief pause, he started the
downward trip. Even so, two hours
later found him in darkness, picking
his way along ice ridges and across
snow crevasses by fashlight.
Pausing under a rock wall to
break the ice on his gloves, he leaned
his ski poles against boulder. He
reached for them again-and missed.
The poles slipped away and clat-
tered down out of sight in the dark
ness.
In that moment, Georg knew he
was probably done for. Without the
poles his skis were useless. He could
not balance himself, check his speed,
or avoid huge boulders which doomed

DEATH OF JAMES GUEssFORD

James Guessford, an old and
highly respected farmer near
Downs Chapel, died on Thursday
last, aged IA years. He had been
in poor health all the winter and
in failing health for several years,
but his fatal sickness was from a
stroke of paralysis three or four
weeks ago. Mr.. Guessford was a
quiet industrious man, q lover of
peace and ready to do a kind act
whenever he had an opportunity.
He accordingly was held in high re-
gard throughout his section and his
death felt as an additional loss to
the several that the neighborhood
has sustained the past year or two.

INDIANAPOLIS. April 17.-Col.
Roscoe Turner, famed speed flyer,
said yesterday that IF our defense
effort isn't speeded up, the German
air force will be able to blow down
all the cities of our Eastern sea-
board"
Col. Turner, speaking at a con-
vention Of the Indiana Restaurant
Association, advocated consolidation
of the Army and Navy air forces
into a separate command and added
that plane production in the United
States should be increased
Right now airplane bodies are
being produced in quantities, but
production of engines and propellers
doesn't keep pace" he continued.
"It's an open secret in the industry
that new warplanes are being flown
across the continent and then the
propellers have to be taken on and
shipped back to the factories on the
West Coast to be fastened on the
next batch of planes.
I'VE won't get away from this
sort of bottleneck until our aviation
preparedness program is directed by
aviation people"
Emphasizing that the European
war is mechanical, Col. Turner
declared "the soldiers are the men
in the factories"

Conditions Logical
For Non-ReIigious
World, K. {. Told
Bishop Corrison Speaks
At Dinner Given
In His Honor

Conditions in the world today
are the logical consequence of no
religion, the Most Rev. Joseph M.
Corrigan, rector of the Catholic
University of America, told a dis
tinguished gathering of the Cath
olic hierarchy and laymen at testi-
monial dinner in his honor ten
dered him at the Willard Hotel by
the Knights Of Columbus. William
H. Collins. former assistant district
attorney here, was POSTMASTER, and
Leo A. Rover, former United States
district attorney here, spoke, as also
did Francis P. Matthews of Omaha,
Nebr.. supreme knight of the
knights of Columbus.
Bishop Corrigan said that it is a
very serious time for Catholic men
in the United States, because out of
the distress of the past year and
the horror of today has come a
searching of mems hearts every
where.
Stresses Faith.
Speaking of the knights of Co.
lumbus, he said it is the only solid
body which is ranged on the side
of the things for which the Nation
was founded. He stressed the i'm
portance of religion and faith today
adding that if a man has no hope
of ultimate justice or no reward
for virtue, why shouldn't he, in the
years before the grave, kill and de-
stroy to get the things that he
wants. But here in this country, he
asserted, there is a power to which
one can give whole-hearted allegi-
ance.
Mr.. Matthews said that Bishop
Corrigan occupies distinguished
and important position in the life
of America. AS supreme knight
and in the name of his fellow off,
GERS and 100000 knights of Column
bus throughout the country, he said
he was happy in having the oppor-
tunity of paying sincere tribute to
the prelate He said also that he
was happy to pledge continuing and
never-failing support and loyalty.
Praises C. U. Contribution.
Asserting that the founders OF
America believed in God, Mr.. Rover
asked if America has lost the an
cient faith. He said educational
America has not retained this an
cient faith, but that the Catholic
University of America is contrib
uting magnificently to bringing it
back 1t has gone far to spread the
truth to the world, he said.
Speaking to the guest of honor,
he said that he was an invaluable
contributor to the culture of the
world and an ever-present example
of keeping in mind the thing that
really counts-the destiny of man.
The invocation was given by Rev.
Edward A. Fuller, State chaplain
of the Knights of Columbus, and
the benediction by the Very Rev.
Arthur j. OLeary, president Of the
Georgetown University.
Alfred A. McGarraghy, State dep
uty, was general chairman of the
committee in charge.

his first tasks was to help capture
the Indians who had killed Clusters

during the Spanish-American War,
he fought in the Philippines.
Retiring with the rank of SER
geant after 80 years of military
service, his only wound was broken
little finger, suffered in a Moro
ambush.
He came to Washington after his
discharge and worked for the Gov
ernment 25 years, first in the Library

The organization was a loose
