crosses the Alaskan boundary, terminating
at Fairbanks.
1T connects with the rail and highway
systems of Southern Canada and the
United States ut Dawson Creek, and not
only provides a motor highway to Alaska
but serves also as a feeder route for
various military air fields which previously
had to depend on air transport alone for
all supplies"
THIS highway will also seal-we hope
L for all time-the friendship and con-
stantly growing unity between the United
States and Canada.
A view of the "shots" Of this epcal
undertaking in current newsreels, where
we see the great obstacles that have been
overcome, must send the blood of all
Americans up to the exaltation point.
The free road to Alaska is the ROAD
TO JAPAN-and to victory.

Rick Jumps. and Why

He told me about that crash. He told
me how he was standing in the lounge, up
forward, when he felt the brush of the
trees on the planes belly.
"Unless you had been a pilot" he said,
"you never would have known what that
little swish of the branches was When l
felt it jumped up and backward, and out
of the lounge.
He didn't say So but the reason he
jumped was to get out of the lounge and
back in the body Of the ship-with the
passengers. y.A..
y He wanted to get back where he could
help.
l looked Mr. Death in the eye with
Rick. That was years ago when we went
to California with new Douglas trans
port to try to Set west-east crossing
record.
There were five of us-Rick, ST More
house, chief Eastern Air Lines pilot;
Jimmy Kilgallen of international News

An Old Acquaintance

Mr.. Death was no stranger to Rick,
you know Rick met him first on the
roaring road that automobile racers travel.
He was in there trying to get his hand on
the steering wheel lots of times.
He met him again in France in 1917,
up in the clouds, when Rick was flying
those Liberty-powered collins that passed
for airplanes.
He met him again, not so long ago, in
a plane crash just outside Atlanta He
was supposed to have escaped with a
broken hip, but that was because Rick
didn't want his friends to know just how
badly he was hurt.
The hip was just one of Is things that
were broken.
He lay that night, in the scrub pine
where the plane fell, pinned fiat on his
back with the dead steward fiat across
him. Hurt in no one will ever know how
many places, he directed the rescue.

Power Dive-And Record

The motors caught, and we didn't have
to land Hours later, thousands of feet
up, and needing to get in New York in
almost nothing fiat to set a record, Rick
again crawled over the gasoline drum.
Boys" he said, "hOld on. We're going
down hill to see If we can make it."
He and 81 did a power dive, straight
from nowhere. We got to the old Newark
airport from where we were in exactly
zero.
We broke the record.
Rick saw all this war coming Three
or four years ago l ghosted a story for
him for Look magazine, in which he said
this country must start producing $4,000
planes year.
Were dead if we don't" he said.
He had visited Germany, been shown
their air power by Udet and Goering and
Mich He stopped off in England to urge
preparedness, but no one listened, no one
needed

His Christmas Letters

Here's another little thing about Rick:
He was strong and tough and indie
pendent, but each Christmas his friends
got from him letter All in longhand.
A two or three-page letter.
And the letter told you that as the
years went on friends became dearer, the
tie between old pals became a little
stronger, and that he hoped that the next
year and the ones to follow would be the
kind that enabled a man to see his friends,
laugh with them, play with them and
share their happiness.
Writing those letters must have taken
much of his time and he was busy man,
but they meant lot to his friends.
AS l said before, somewhere in the
Pacific, dead or alive, is a real man!
Bless you, Rick

your safety belts. We may have to make

He knew what forced landing meant.
So did we But he was smiling.
His old friend of many years, Mr..
Death, was just outside the windows, but
Rick was laughing at him.

charge, Rick did his best to see that the
members of his crew had chance to beat
the final rap.

the $25,0 salary limitation.
Mr.. Roosevelt's order directed
that salaries be limited to $685.

allocable TO the sum in excess
of $25,000."

Admiral Ghormley and his fleet
commander from the Pacific.
No explanation has been offered
beyond the bare announcement
or orders.
Stories are being told among
congressman that the three
cruisers lost there were not wide
awake, and that this circum-
stance caused the decisions 10
transfer Ghormley shortly
thereafter. although the decision
was not announced until now.
The cruisers, however, were
lost the night of August SO
in the opening of offensive OPP
erations, the first landing OF the
marines. and il is hard 10 be-
lieve they could have been
asleep.
The date Of Ghormley's orders
has not been given, but IL is
understood 10 be much more re-
cent than the cruiser sinkings.
Apparently it came a few weeks
ago. following the far more
costly sinking of the aircraft
carrier Wasp, which was caught
by a submarine in a manner not
fully explained.
Ordinarily, dispositions OF de-
stroyerS and air scouts from an
aircraft carrier are supposed 10
protect her. and generally do.
Another OF our aircraft car
riers was also hit, and no claim
has been made that either OF the
Jap submarines was sunk.
A FL is supposed TO be work.
"A ing up a report against buff
feted maritime commission
chairman Emory Land, which
will tighten the spot into which
he is being pushed by union la
Dor groups.
OstenSibly, this new drive
against Land is being predicated
on the suggestion, made in a
New York speech, that union
labor organizers during this war
should be shot at sunrise, or
something approximating that.
The suggestion was obvious
hyperbole, as Land did not draw
a pistol, and no serious move
ment TO shoot any one has yet
been started.
The roots of AFL resentment
against Land, however, run back
into the closing of the Higgins
yards in New Orleans and the
re-purchase, during the war. OF
