FREEDOM OF AIR
TERMED UNLIKELY
Northeast AirIines Presi.
dent Makes Statement to
Boston Ad Club

Boston, March 2.--(Up)--Presi-
dent Samuel J. solomon Of the
Northeast AirlineS, Inc, said today
he believed complete freedom Of the
air impossible but that some 'ar-
rangements should be made imine.
diately for postwar international
Air Commerce.
Solomon told q luncheon meeting
OF the Advertising club OF Boston
that the problem might be linked TO
policy Of freedom Of the seas.
II do not believe at any time that
we can reasonably contemplate.
there will be freedom Of the air."
he said. "At the same time there y
no satisfactory way In which air
commerce could be restricted pro-
vided any country or countries WANT
ed TO disregard the common usage
Of international commerce" II
Solomon said that air commerce
cannot be undertaken out OF New
England and the northern part Of
the United States without the con-
sent Of the Canadian and British
governments, since airlines would
have to travel over territory con-
troled by those two nations.
II do not think OF freedom OF the
air" he said. IT think perhaps what
all Of us are interested In Is freedom
Of transit between and across iil-
ternational boundaries. No one
would wish TO extend freedom OF
sir whereby nationals Of another
country might compete in the do.
nestle commerce OF O country.
Perhaps In order 10 assure q
proper development Of the inter-
national air commerce Of the United
States, negotiations for such rights
should be tied to negotiations for
the right Of entry Of the boats Of
one country into ports Of another"

AMERICAN WOMAN
ON CUADALCANAL
Mae Olson First to Land
Since Start Of War; Ad.
ministers TRANSMISSION
BY GEORGE JONES

United Press STAFF Correspondent
An advanced air base in the South
Pacific, March 2.--(UP)-The big
transport plane wheeled up to a
stop and out stepped Miss Mae Olson
first American woman to set foot
on Guadalcanal since the start Of
the war.
Good lord, there's a woman
aboard" shouted q bearded soldier
as he and his companions crowded
around the plane.
Miss Olson, q pretty blonde from
Little Falls, Mimi, was wearing
khaki coveralls and q baseball cap.
OfIicially she Is Lieut.. Olson, q for
mer airline stewardess and now an
army nurse. She was chosen by her
% colleagues to make the first trip
as hospital plane hostess.
Miss Olson rode on top Of cargo
which the hospital plane took to
duadalcanal, which she described as
"a very peaceful island"
Her stay at Guadalcanal lasted
only about half an hour and she did
not even take time out to eat break.
fast. Instead she stood beside the
plane and talked with the soldiers.
The purpose Of the visit was to put
several III men aboard the hospital
plane and fly them to an advanced
field hospital. Most Of the men had
suffered illness or accidents since
the last Japanese land resistance
had ended on Guadalcanal. Miss
Olson administered q blood trans
fusion to one man suffering from
o gunshot wound.
On her trip Miss Olson was greet
ed by two generals and several col
onels. Her plane landed at several
bases on the way and the soldiers
at some places managed to find
cocktails and steaks for her.

Still another reason for the short
supply was cited today by the War
Food Administration. Pointing out
that turkey production this year
was 100000 pounds, about the
same as in 1912, officials said that
processing plants have been busy
for the last two months preparing
the 100000 pounds bought for
the armed forces and are suffering a
manpower shortage, as we'll.
AS result, the plants have not
been able to process the normal
amounts for civilian use. In some
areas, too, they asserted, producers
are holding birds for further growth.

Here for the purpose Of stimulating

China, she must have found herself in

made abundantly clear that our
grand strategy calls for concentra-
ton of major effort on the Germans.
Most of the spokesmen for China, pre-
sumably including Madame Chang
DO not believe that is the right
strategy, but it must be clear to
them that there is virtually no pros
pect Of a change at this stage Of the
war. The President has said so on
many occasions and he repeated the
observation at the White House con-
ference. At the same time, however,
he remarked that, without changing
basic policy, greater emphasis might
be placed on ways and means Of

Preserve Our M. D.s

From the Boston Herald:
We need to cherish them, these few
remaining doctors of ours. They have
got to last the war out and some time
beyond, and We are going to have fewer
rather than more. Already between a
fifth and sixth have gone to war, more
are leaving every day, and there is no
new increment from medical schools and
interneshipS for requirements.
A general practitioner who has seen
q patients in his office, visited 25 others
in scattered homes, climbing some IS
fights of stairs in the process, and then
crawled into bed shortly after II to

gency and pseudo-emergency calls start

urgently to waste him, and there are
ways to conserve his time, his energy,

Reaction to Defeat

There can be little doubt that the
American Army has suffered rather
severe local defeat in its first impor-
tant clash with the Germans in Tu-
nisia. At the same time, judging by
the news reports which have come in
from the battle front, our troops
fought we'll and withdrew in good
order. That gives substantial ground
for encoura cement.
1t has often been said, and it is
true enough, that wars are not won
by skillful retreats. But it is also
true that green troops, when thrown
into battle against equal or nearly
equal veteran forces, have very little
prospect OF victory. And in this in
stance, according to Secretary Of War
Stimson, the Germans apparently
were able to concentrate at the
