RICK IS HAPPY,
NOT SURPRISED
Ace OF First. World War
Sends Congratulations
To Capt. Johnson

RALEIGH, May g. R Capt
Eddie Rickenbacker, who shot
down 26 planes with my pop
guns in the First World War
said today he was happy but no
surprised to hear that his record
had been bettered in the European
theater.
He said he'd been keeping ur
with the record of Capt. Robert
S. johnson, so when word came
that the 24-year-old Thunderbolt pi
lot of Lawton, Okla, had sent his
9th plane screaming downward
II felt little relieved.
The relief, he explained, came
not from another record, but for
the safety Of Capt. Johnson, ''be-
Gauge the 9th plane seems
mighty hard to get, and when a
pilot tries to keep on going, he
gets too keyed up. Something
seems to happen" He suggested
that Capt. Johnson, and others
with comparable combat hours,
Fought to have a rest"
Told that the new ace had asked
for Is additional hours of combat
duty after completing his regular
tour, Capt. Rickenbacker grinned
and said, !"That's an American for
YOU"
He already had gent this mes
sage to Capt. Johnson:
''Heartiest congratulations on
your latest victories and your abil-
ity to break my World War One
record, which I expect to be brok-
en- by many pilots and possibly
doubled or trebled before victory
comes.
However, in your future COM
bats use the same cool, calculat-
ing ability shown to date for we
want you and others like you home
again.
Capt. Rickenbacker, who met
the press at Governor J. M.
Broughton's mansion before start
ing on series of speaking en-
gagements in North Carolina, said
he believed the Germans had many
more planes and competent pilots,
but the Japs are going down hill.
The Jap pilots, he said, original
ly were best trained tt, operate
from carriers, but their naval re-
verses had greatly cut down on
their carrier stength. That fact,
coupled with informa ton that the
Jap planes had not improved,
gives the wel-trained American
pilots the edge.
He expressed the opinion that

will be knocked out of the war

Unconditional Surrender
POLICY Being Junked

LONDON, Tuesday, May Up
The London Daily Mirror said
today the Allies had jettisoned the
unconditional surrender policy for
all enemy nations except Germany
and Japan in an effort to hasten
withdrawal of their support from
the Axis.
Russia was declared to have
persuaded Britain and the United
States governments that "a poll
cy of realism which will buy the
satellites out of the war will pay
in the long rum"
The newspaper said the first
step under this arrangement
might be the offer of new terms
