A NORTH ATLANTIC BASE
Nov. 13.-Military transport pilots
delivering an increasing load of war
traffic overseas believe they can
whip the 'bugaboo of the North
Atlantic" this winter for all time.
They believe they have the planes
and facilities to fly under, oyer OF
around the dreaded storms which
have barred the Great Circle route
to regular two-way traffic for SO
many years-in fact, they believe
they can make the storms work for
them.
What this may mean to future air
commerce on the shortest route be-
tween the Eastern United States and
Europe can be imagined readily.
Short hops, such as New York to
Newfoundland, and thence to
Greenland, Iceland, the British Isles
and the continent, would mean
planes could carry heavy pay loads
instead of extra gasoline.
Back Up Predictions.
Air Transport Command flyers are
backing up their predictions by
performance. For example, of some
5000 transatlantic transport flights
cleared through Newfoundland be-
tween last February and last month,
less than S per cent were delayed
because of weather conditions, ac-
cording to information given cor
respondents on a 5000-m mile tour of
North Atlantic bases.
Veteran ATC pilots now refer to
the once-treacherous airway in their
lighter moments as the "loW-level
sunshine route" crossing the Rivera
coast of Laborador" With a STOP
over at "Greenland's Miami" or in
other words base BW-1 on the
southern tip of the great island.
While twin-engined planes make
the short hops, big four mot ned
transports, like the Douglass DC-4,
usually 60 from Washington to Har-
mon Field, Newfoundland, and
thence to the British Isles. In re-
cent months, transport planes have
been making 1000 crossings monthly.
Eskimos and Indians on lonely
coasts have become accustomed to
the sound of motors overhead and
Northern Lights now beginning to
flicker over the Pole are as familiar
to veteran crewmen as the marker
beacons at Gravelly Point or La
Guardia.
High Priority Traffic.
The makeup of this urgent, high
priority passenger, mail and cargo
traffic over the Northern route is as
interesting as the route itself. First.
there are the ''vips," the very i'm
portant people" who may be presi-
dents, ambassadors, captured Ger
man generals or silent couriers,
going somewhere in a hurry with
dispatch cases they never lose
sight of.
For these, the ATC has established
simple but comfortable little hotels
for stop-overs known for some un-
explained reason, as de Ginks."
The hotel may be in Greenland,
Casablanca or on Canton Island,
but it's still de Gink."
On westward crossings, the planes
sometimes are loaded with wounded
soldiers on comfortable filters which
can be set up or removed quickly.

France. eastbound ships were laden

up - Gov. Walter <. Edge of

A statement by Edge that
Dewey regarded the use of
peace forces to prevent or re-

went beyond Dewey's own pub

Edge, who once criticized the

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 -
P)-You might think everyone
knows about old age assistance
under the Social Security law
and that everyone knows about
unemployment compensation.
But that doesn't seem to be
true. judging from the questions
sent into the Social Security
Board here. And yet a brief
roundup of what peoples rights
are under both arrangements
seems timely now.
Many war workers, IS or
over, will quit when the war
is over to enjoy government
benefits. Many other people
have built up old age assistance
credits and will lose them by
going out of jobs covered" by
the law.
MEN IN SERVICE
And what of the men and wo-
men in the armed services? Are
they building up old age assis-
lance benefits? No.
, Perhaps a summary of who
gets what should precede any
Observation-Disclosures explana-
ton, such as will be given to-
morrow.
The Federal Social Security
old age assistance programs
dates from Jan. /. 1887 when it
went into effect. To qualify for
old age benefits from the gov
eminent, worker must have
reached IS years of age and have
worked in jobs covered by the
law.
The jobs covered by the law
are in a factory, shop, mine.
mill, store, office or other place
of business or industry.
To get benefits intended for
people employed in such work,
the worker must have contribu-
ted per cent of his salary
to the government since
Jan. /. 1887.
And at the same time his boss
must have matched-in pay
ments to the government-his
per cent.
MANY NOT COVERED
But the jobs not covered by

about 10000" were affected.
There were indications 5000
more in the Tulsa, Okla, area
might stop work.
There was also a wide differ
ence in estimates of the number
out at five Paterson, N. j., area
plants of Wright Aeronautical
Corporation. A company spokes-
man figured the total at 5000
but estimates by the CIO-Unit-
ed Auto Workers placed it at
10000.
In excess of 10000 were idle
in Detroit where federal concil-
iators sought to end walkouts at
the General Motors Chevrolet
gear and axle division, involving
1000, and the Briggs manufac-
turing company, about $500.
There were at least two dozen
more disputes in the United
States and the Montreal, Que,
tramway system continued idle.

Will Specialize
in Aerial Work

CHICAGO - U1 - The Uni
versity of Illinois with the open
ing of its airport in November,
will launch the largest univer-
sity-sponsored aviation program
in the nation.
Students will be trained as
specialists in aviation and will
cover every aspect of the field
from the construction and pro-
duction of all types of airplanes
and engines and the design Of
airports, to medical and agricul-
tural aspects of aviation and
aviation law.
Special degrees in aeronautics
may be conferred for advanced
university study. and graduates
will be able to take their places
in what will probably be the
greatest postwar field in COM
merce and industry.
THE situation confronting
planners for the future of do
mestic aviation is without par
allel in the history of education.
and indeed of civilization" Pre-
sident Arthur Cuts Willard,
Observation-Disclosures engineer
who has headed the university
for 10 years. stated in announc-
ing the university's new pro-
gram of aviation education and
research.
mo other industry ever has
made such broad demands on
so many fields of human know
ledge"
For instance. he pointed out.
the air transport of foods and
,perishable cargoes. including
vine-ripened or tree-ripened
fruits, quick-frozen food, etc.,
will be only one of the thousands
of problems that will have 10
be worked out.
The delivery of baby chicks
to Europe by air, and the effect
of flying on tubercular patients
are but two more of the multiple
problems for research of the
University of Illinois air pro-
gram.

Donor Raises
Hope for Victim
of Rare MaIady

SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 10
(R)-While physicians admins
tered penicillin to Jackie Krum-
holtz, 4, in an effort to stay
the ravages of acute Emphatic
leukemia, a Philadelphia w.
man today prepared to donate
blood, said to be rare type, in
the hope it will prolong or save
his life.

was introduced on radio pro-
gram eve the People) as hav-
ling a rare type of blood help
full in treating leukemia.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Krumholtz, Jackie's parents,
told of hearing the broadcast.
The Sun contacted the programs
sponsor and finally located Mrs.
N :Nullin.
Mrs. McMullin is visiting in
Boston, and will donate the
blood there. 1t will be made into
plasma and flown to Springfield
some time Friday. If the plasma
from today's blood donation IS
helpful, the Sun said last night
Mrs. McCullin has offered to
come here for a TRANSMISSION.
In Philadelphia, the woman's
husband said that in 1885 the
Hahnemann Hospital in Phila-
delphia discovered his wife had
a peculiar type of blood suitable
for combating Leukemia, and
that it had been used to cure pa
tients. He added, however, that
she had no knowledge of ever
having been afflicted with the
disease.
Earlier physicians had said
the only hope for Jackie's life
lay in finding some patient who
had recovered from the disease
and using his or her blood for a
TRANSMISSION.

domestic servants. federal, state
or local government service, and
religious, charitable or certain
other non-profit organizations.
People in such employment
have not had TO contribute from
their earnings. Therefore, they
will get no benefits. Congress
can be expected to take up the
proposal that all workers be in
cluded in old age assistance un-
der an amended Social Security
law.

But no matter how much

exceeding SIS a month.
The amount of benefits paid

But when it comes to upem-

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Wendell L.
Willkie said last night that he
had not altered his view on the
Polish question because Of the at
tack on him by the Communist
Party newspaper Pravda.
If I were to write that article
tomorrow, I would write the same
thing" Mr.. Willkie said in referring
to his article, Don't Stir Distrust
Of Russia" in the New York Times.
Pravda accused him of "muddying
the waters" to entice presidential
support from persons who did not
trust the Soviet Union.
"I'm in good company-the Brit
ish, the Vatican and Wendell WILL
kie," he said referring to other
Moscow criticism. That's pretty
fair for an Indiana boy"
Mr.. Willkie, who previously had
refused to comment on Pravda s
attack, did so in a question-and-
answer period at the New York
Times Forum.
He added, 1--WE must rot allow
ourselves to become haters' because
international cooperation Is es-
sential and failure to develop such
cooperation would lead to another
