was something of shock because
all I'd asked for was an interview.
The President was nowhere

he was -. I was amazed at not

Rickenbacker Warns
OF Complacency on
Rescue Anniversary
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the ASsoc1ated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. l3.-Eddie
Rickenbacker, marking the anniver-
sary Of his rescue In the South
Pacific last November IA, after 81
days on q life raft, called on the
American people today to shun COM
placency and bend all efforts toward
knocking Hitler out Of the war in
1914
America owes that, he said, to its
lighting men, whose deeds in my
opinion make possible a total victory
over the cruel and heartless enemy
in Europe during 1914"
Capt. Rickenbacker recalled his
rescue with thankfulness, and
added:
since then I have had the rare
privilege and honor to visit all the
fighting fronts throughout the world
Including Russia, which has crystal
lied one basic thought in my mind
that America has produced q gen.
Grafton Of fighting men unequalled
In our history, who are scattered
throughout the four corners Of the
world.
Sees Home Front Relaxing.
I'VE have watched the Russians
driving the Germans back with great
rapidity. Our boys, in conjunction
with those of our Allies, have chased
the Germans and Italians out of
North Africa. Mussolini and his
Fascists have been overthrown, and
the Allies are now gradually driving
the Germans out Of Italy. In the
Pacific our combined forces Of air,
land and sea are meeting with sue
cess against the Japs.
"The result-thousands and thou
sands of those on the home front
are beginning to relax their efforts
and sit back with profound COM
placency that the war is almost
over.
This complacency should be dis
PEELED Immediately, as, In my opin-
ion, the Allies still have the real
fight ahead of them before the war
Is ended In Europe-to say nothing
Of what confronts them in the war
against the Japs.
Must Preserve America.
Therefore, we on the home front
must continue to play onr part to
the utmost to preserve for our boys
the type of America they are fight
ing for. and which we are enjoying
today, when they return after victory
is ours. To them must 60 the torch
Of leadership for the service rem
dered, so that the generations to
come may proudly say Peace on
earth, good will toward men,"
Capt. Rickenbacker recalled that
"just a year ago today, through the
mercy and kindness Of the Supreme
Being and the splendid work Of our
Navy and Marine boys. I and two
of my companions. Col. Hans Chris
tian Adamson and Seret. Johnny
Bartek. had the good fortune to be
rescued after 81 long days Of a rough
and heart breaking soiourn in lit
tie raft on the broad Pacific"
One Died Before Rescue.
That "sojourn" began on october
81, 1912. when Capt. Rickenbacker's
plane, out of gasoline. was forced
down. One man died before naval
plane spotted the drifting raft and
rescue followed.
The World War ace found himself
on the anniversary Of the expert
ence thankful to be sitting behind
my desk" as president and general
manager Of Eastern Airlines. and
"enjoying the comforts Of home to-
day.
Little do we realize" he said.
what such comforts and security
mean until we are forced to be
without them"

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 20-(UPD-l
Michigan aviation leaders, declaring
that enactment Of pending Congre-

aeronautical development and set
UP rigid barriers against private int

months after the war.

chairman of the committee, declared
that powerful but selfish interests
are working day an night in WASH
ington to force through Congress
legislation that would shackle the de-
velopment Of aeronautics In this
country for generations to come"
These measures not only would
further infringe upon State rights
but would strike body blow at the
people directly engaged In or inter-
ested in the development of avia-

rob American citizens of their right
to modern, low-cost air transporta-
ton facilities after the war"
