New British Carrier,
Victorious, Serves
With i. ). in Pacific

(From Yesterdays Late Editions.J
The British admiralty delegation
here disclosed today that the VIC
torious, one of Britain's newest plane
carriers, was attached for several
months this year to task force OF
the United States Pacific Fleet and
took part in offensive sweeps in the
Coral Sea and Southwest and mid J.
Pacific.
A squadron of American planes
with their pilots operated from the
23,ooo-ton Victorious, whose own
squadron was transferred to an
American carrier. The British ship
commanded by Capt. Lachlan D
Macintosh, operated in closest
iaison with other units of the task
force under the command of an
American admiral
Invaluable tactical experience was
gained in the course of the opera
tions," the Admiralty delegation said
which will be put to good effect as
Britain mobilizes her naval power
alongside that of the United States
Australia and New Zealand for full
scale action in the Pacific war
against Japan"
Signal Systems Similar.
Because Of the similarity between
British and American aircraft land
ing signalling systems and methods
OF tighter control, no difficulty in
operation was encountered by either
plane squadron, the Admiralty dele
cation said. Planes from either YES
sci were able to land on the others
flight deck in cases of emergency.
The Victorious sailed about 5000
miles month during the period she
was attached to the United States
task force. Admiral Chester w
Nimitz, Pacific Fleet commander in
chief, and Vice Admiral William F
Halsey, naval commander in the
Southwest Pacific, paid inspection
visits.
The Victorious previously had op-
Grated in the North Sea, Atlantic
Ocean, Arctic Ocean and Mediter-
ranean Sea. Early this year she
was refltted in an American port.
She then joined the United States
Fleet at Pacific naval base and
took aboard a group of American
lalson officers.
AntitoXon Delivered by Plane.
The admiralty delegation cited two
examples Of kindness shown the
Victorious by American naval forces.
On one occasion, when the shin
was more than 300 miles from land
British sailor developed diphthe-
ria. A radio call to the nearest
American base brought plane with
antitoxin which saved the sailors
life.
At another time, British chefs
aboard the Victorious experienced
difficulty in handling a store Of Ge-
hydrated potatoes after the stock of
fresh vegetables mad been exhausted
A plane from a sister American, car
rier promptly delivered 800 pounds
of oehydrated potatoes, together
with chief commissary steward 10

America Must Write
Peace Terms in Toxic,
Correspondent Says
By the Associated Press.

%.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 23.-Warn-
ing that the war against Japan has
mot yet started" Max Hill. former
Associated Press bureau chief in
Toxic, told the Indiana State Teach
ers' Association last night that the
war cannot be won until the peace
terms are written in Toxic.
There is an appeasement-m minded
minority in the United States that
tells us the Japs are not so bad as
pictured" he said This is untrue.
The Japs are the worst fanatics in
the world today. We will not have
won the war until we go into Toxic
and write the peace terms. If we
fail to do that, We can expect an
other war with Japan within the
next 80 years"
Mr.. Hill, who was imprisoned the
day after Pearl Harbor was at
tackled and who returned to this
country IN prisoner exchange in
June, 1912, minimized the fighting
now going on in the Solomons and
the proposed reopening of the Bur-
ma road
I'VE are fighting only the out
posts" he said. I'VE are fighting
Toxic $500 miles away in the Solo
mons. The Burma road is just
drop in the bucket in so far as its
value in moving men and materials
is concerned. We must establish
base on the China east coast before
We will be in a position to give any
material help to China"
Mr.. Hill also warned against over
confidence because we have been
able to recapture Kiska and to make
inroads in the Solomons.
I'VE must stop looking at the dots
and concentrate on the japanese
Empire" he asserted.

Project Called Certain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BATON ROUGE. La, Oct. %
Louisiana expects to be ready to 60
ahead with its share of building a
parkway highway from Canada
down the Mississippi Valley to New
Orleans as soon as conditions per-
nit after the war.
De Witt Pyburn, director of the
State Department of Public Works,
who represents Louisiana on a To-
State committee scheduled to meet
in st. Louis soon, said the project
was something definite-not just
another plan-something we hope
10 have ready to go when the war
ends"
The project was first proposed
about seven years ago, he said, but
it was given new life by a recent
congressional request to the Federal
Bureau of Roads for recommended
tions on postwar transcontinental
highways.
The route would be distinguished
from express highways. Mr.. Pyburn
said, in that it probably will cross
the Mississippi River several times
in order to pass through areas of
unusual beauty or historical interest.
On the northern end the proposed
route would tie in, by link through
Canada, with the Alcan highway to
Alaska

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 23.-A
quick-thinking instructor and Frank
Giambra's own iron nerve saved the
San Francisco flying cadet from
death plunge after he was bounced
from the cockpit of a primary Army
flying plane at 500 feet altitude.
Cadet Giambra landed astraddle
the fuselage against the tail Sec
tion's stabilizer. He held his place
by grasping guy wires.
Norbert ]. Lypps, the instructor,
motioned for Giambra to remain
where he was and started the plane
into gradual climb, made difficult
because Giambra's position inter-
fered with the aircraft's response to
the controls.
At $500 feet, Mr.. Lypps retarded
the engine, sent the plane into a
gradual glide and motioned to Clam
bra to attempt to reach the cockpit

posed today that the United States
start at once a program to cover

Such an air fleet, Frye said, would

curity for she would be so power
ful no nation or group of nations
would dare attack.
He urged encouragement of pri-
vate flying so that American would
be prepared to man the fleet when
