PUBLICITY EXPERT

I have also been amused at the
intimations that Forrestal is a
babe in the woods in the matter
of publicity.
On the contrary. he is an eX-
perienced expert in the field.
After serving as financial
writer on the >old New York
World. Forrest3 acted for years
as press contact man for the
banking house of which he even
tually became president With
Clarence Dillon as his chief. For
restall helped to lift the firm from
relative unimportance in Wall
Street 10 one Of leadership.
Many factors accounted for the
transformation. but ForreStals
deft handling OF the press was a
vital ingredient.
While competitors sometimes
entrusted the publicity jobs to
snobs or amateurs. Jim ForreStal
always treated newspapermen as
though they were important and
were members Of a dignified call
inc. In addition 10 being gracious
reliable and friendly TO the press
Forrestal retained his contacts by
developing into one OF the most
prolific sources of financial news

In August. 1871 it seems that

men from the two states men

suggesting the possibility of radi-
cal ideas with references to rail-

The board has just issued its
preliminary report 10 the Presl-
dent and Congress.
To begin with. il makes a
sweeping. almost bitter, attack on
the existing condition of rates and
regulations in the field of trans
port. 1t calls the existing condi-
ton a crazy quilt" of inequality

admit. is rather hard on those

PLACES THE BLAME

And as if to clinch their mean

elimination has become" that
way, of course, under the Inter-

what il holds are the theories

PRACTICAL MAN

Rejecting his practical expert
ence in banking. Forrestal does
not treat individuals as auto
nations in accordance with general
principles. On the contrary, he
picks associates and confidantes
with the utmost care, and then
he goes "all OUT in trusting men.
AS undersecretary Of the navy
while the current great two-ocean
navy was in the making, Forrestal
was able to achieve brilliantly
because of his capacity to pick
the right man for the right as
signment and then back him UP
with the necessary authority.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-W,R-
Can't. Robert N. Buck, TWA
pilot with a strange wartime as
signment of flying while the
birds walk, predicted today that
commercial airlines will fly 365
DAYS a year within few years
after the end of the war.
THE DOGGY man of weather
is losing his grip" the 80
year-old veteran Of Is years
of flying said, The more you fly
weather, the less terror it holds.
Soon no flights will be cancelled
because of it"
For IL months Buck has pilot
ed Flying Fortress, equipped
with special gadgets TO chronicle
the weather and static details
within storms. He was assigned
10 the job when it was contract
ed TO TWA by the Army. He
works out of Wright Field, Day
ton, o.
ALASKA TO LABRADOR
Buck and his crew are men al
ways on the 60. In those IL
months they have flown in
Alaska over all the 48 states and
to Laborador and NeWfound-
land. They have stuck the nose
of their plane into thunder
storms and hurricanes an q
through snow.
The armed forces needed de-
tails of the instance of static in
storms because it blotted out
radio direction and communlca-
ton equipment. Buck went up to
get the data.
He said he believed static
would not bother the postwar
airliners as they operate those
365 days a year.
Despite his years OF flying, the
Westfield, N. j., flier said he
called himself a "doggoned fool
when he took over the assign
ment last November. Now he
talks of the fine static" he |
found in a storm, unconsciously |

last big hurricane which struck
the East Coast was simple COM
pared to a thunderstorm out
here. Florida thunderstorms look
tough but they are mere 'sissies'
for turbulence. ="
He flew twice through the
hurricane. He has cut through
thunderstorms from a few hun
dred feet altitude TO $4,000 feet,
The pursuit of the wandering
storms has taken him 1000
miles.
The best static we have
found was within 800 miles of
Kansas City," he said, lin a
thunderstorm between Chicago
and Kirksville, Mo"
When other planes hug the
ground, Buck and his crew climb
aboard their big ship and chase
the storm center. They have baf-
fled airport weathermen from
Nome TO Miami by rubbing their
hands gleefully when they get
bad weather reports.
They haunt airport meterolo-
gists for reports, making hour
by hour checks when a storm is
building up. They carry creden-
tials permitting them to take
off at any and all times, Just in
case some official feels like
locking them up and calling the
nut house.
Buck began flying when he
was Is. In 1886, he raised the
nonstop worlds record flight
distance for lightweight planes
when he flew from Burbank,
Cal, to Columbus, O., skidding
in on the belly because he'd
dropped the landing gear at Bur-
bank. When he was Is, he broke
the junior transcontinental speed
record.
Members Of his crew are c. o.
Johnson, co-pilot, member of the
famous flying johnson family;
Barney j. Dowd, crew chief; Bill
Foley, assistant crew chief; Guy
Arnold, who was the navigator
until he went into the ATC;
Philip w. Couch, radio engineer,
and Jerry Jarrard, assistant
TWA chief radio engineer. Ralph
c. Ayres, the airline's chief
radio engineer, flew with them
last winter but now works most
ly in the laboratory.

Wounded Hero
Calls Mother
in (. Detroit

EAST DETROIT - When the
long distance operator tried to
place a telephone call from
South Carolina to the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Reinerth
of 1907 Stephens drive last
Saturday evening it was almost
refused.
Mrs. Reinerth informed the
operator that she did not know
anyone there but the operator
was persistent and the first
thing that Mrs. Reinerth heard
was Hello, Nom"
The voice on the other end of
the line was that Of Sergt. Mar
tin E. Reinerth, Jr., who had
just arrived by hospital ship
from England. Wounded in &C
ton in France, he had been
flown to England for hospitali-
zation and completed his journey
home by ship.
The 26-year old infantryman
is the proud posSessor Of the Sill
yer Star awarded TO him for
outstanding bravery. He faced
enemy shrapnel and machine
gun fire to protect valuable
equipment during the break
through at st. Lo July 26.
Describing the action, an
Army correspondent wrote, I'm
the early morning, while we
were fighting from our hastily
drg-in positions, Sergt. Reinerth
made his way toward our COM
mand half-track, under heavy
a, .llery and mortar fire.
without regard for his own
personal safety he endeavored to
move the vehicle 10 safer posi-
ton. While carrying out this
brave attempt, he was struck by
piece of shrapnel that entered
his chest and left through his
back. The she'll that caused his
injury landed not more than 10
feet from his position and we all
thought nc was a goner."
The wounded soldier was
quickly evacuated by the medics
TO a first aid station where the
doctors patched him up suffi-
GENTLY to get him to a base hos
pital.
Sergt. Reinerth was gradual
ed from East Detroit High
school and al one time was edi-
tor Of the school paper. He has
been in the service three and a
half years and has been overseas
about a year.

Baughman, now head OF the
FBTs physics and chemistry
laboratory section, joined the
bureau in 1919 at the request of
j. Edgar Hoover, who then was
Special Assistant to the Attor-
ney General. Hoover at that time
was preparing the deportation
cases of the anarchists RESPONSE
BILE for the notorious June ex-
blossoms" Baughman, who had
gone to school with Hoover, was
just in the process of leaving ac-
tive army service as a lieuten-
ant and veteran in search of en-
ployment and the proposition
sounded pretty good. He spent
his first few days on the job in
uniform because he had no other
clothes.
After Hoover became an FBI
mainland when he was later ap-
pointed director Baughman
was his constant companion.
They were side by side on all
kinds Of cases until, in the early
'30S, the FBI began TO concen-
trate on training men in the use
Of firearms. Baughman was given
the job. He did it so we'll and
became so expert in the use of
guns and in the science of bal
liStics (his first toys, he says,
were pair of revolvers) that
Hoover decided to keep him as
head Of the firearms department.
