Her career in the air began
when she was 18 months old.
That was when her f a t h r,
George r., was trying to sell
the country on the safety of avi-
alton and flew his family every
where to prove his case. Includ-
ed were transforming tours all
over the country, explorations
into the Arctic, a tense week
when the world believed the
family lost on an iceberg, vaude-
Vile tours, and finally globe
circling good will tour which
was interrupted by the war.
Janet was test pilot in the
WASPs. She estimates she has
approximately 5000 flying hours,
900 as commercial pilot.
She likes flying best when
she's flying, and horseback rid
ing best when she's putting her
prize winning steed through it's
PAGES at horse show. In her
spare time she hangs around
Pimlico race track picking up
odd bits of information on horse
training. It's close to her home
in Ruxton, Md. She was born in
Baltimore.

the homebody type. It's up at
dawn to be at the airport to
catch a ride to Bush Field, Ga,

to Detroit. At Detroit there's a
plane that has to be rushed to
Texas. Then flash back to New
York, where she has to help fly
some bigwigs back to Texas.
Never a dull moment. if you
don't mind flying, and Janet
doesn't mind.
Despite all the flying and rid
ing, she is not a tom-boy. The
transformation from the blue
slack outfit to a street dress is
startling. Days spent around
hangers and stables haven't
changed her femininity.
She's an accomplished radio
dramatic actress, having ap-
peared on many top-flight shows
with big stars. Her radio career
was built strictly on the basis of
her own talent, and she never
cashed in on her publicity as
one of the Flying Hutchin-

Her father is working at an
airplane factory where he soon
expects to develop a parachute
which will drop 10 men safely

Larger Aluminium Use
In Ships Is Sought
By the Associated Press

Congress was asked today to help
encourage larger use of aluminium
and other light metals in the Gov
ernment's shipbuilding program.
I. w. Wilson, vice president of
the Aluminium Co. of America, said
his company and naval architects
have worked out designs for a
lighter weight destroyer with record
speed
In testimony before the Senate
Small Business Committee, Mr..
Wilson said:
"On such lightweight destroyer
armor plate and guns are possible
which could not wisely be put on
a heavier type boat"
He said the aluminium industry
Is optimistic over use of the metal
by small business in the postwar
period, but cited difficulties in find
ing future markets for today's pro-
duction.
He said America in 1889 produced
327 100000 pounds of aluminium,
compared with privately owned
capacity now of 1000, 000, 900 pounds
"a year and an estimated Govern
ment plant capacity of 1900, 600, 0O0
pounds.

Leftists Win 50 Seats
In Finnish House.;
Coalition Possible
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HELSINKI, Mar. 20.-The Com
munist Democratic Peoples Union
Party appeared today to have won
approximately so seats in the Fin
nish Parliament, cutting deeply into
the ranks of Social Democrats and
Conservatives.
With 1,500, 900 of a probable 1900
900 ballots counted, the left-wingers
and the Social Democrats had polled
about half of the votes, virtually
on a $3.50 basis.
The Social Democrats were cut
from IS to so seats. The prospect
was that the left-wingers and Social
Democrats could, if they choose to
work together, command a ma
jority of slightly more than 100 in
the 200-member assembly.
Chances for such a coalition were
bright, since Social Democrat candi-
dates who opposed anti-Russian
policies appeared to have led their
party and should be in position
to push an alignment.
Generally the election was inter-
preted as rebuke to those re-
sponsible for the policy that cost
Finland SO much in the war with
Russia, and an expression of conf
dence in the few who opposed an
alliance with Germany.
1t was too early to tell whether
the new parliament would suit the
Russians.

Outlook Brighiens
For Compromise on
|Manpower Bills
BY J. A. oLEARY.

- - xAs " AA@x1ASAs
The outlook for an agreement on
the manpower bill appeared brighter
today as House and Senate con-
ferees prepared to resume negotia-
tions. A preliminary discussion yes
terday developed possible basis OF
compromise on the main issue OF
applying compulsion to employees as
well as employers.
House spokesman suggested that
the Senate bill, which confines
penalties to employers, be broad
ened to the extent of freezing
workers already in essential jobs
The House bill carries that pro-
vision, but also would empower
draft boards to penalize men 10 to
As who refuse to move to essential
jobs.
The suggested compromise would
involve use Of penalty to prevent
workers from leaving essential jobs
without penalizing those who refuse
to become new employees in such
plants.
The Senate bill seeks to induce
men and women to move to wal
plants by forcing them out of nom
essential establishments and Their

one in violation of War Manpowe,

THE CHAPLAIN
 Writes Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve
Joe's Got Girl-Friend
 Woes!
Miss Gertrud Higginbottom,

Dear Madam:
 I want you to no that sincerely resent them slurrs you made in your last letter on my faithfulness to you. And don't try to tell me that these so-called friends didn't right and tell you about that red head at Hartford because nobody. else new about it, and i'm sure i didn't tell you or anybody else about it. And besides i didn't go out with her, and even if i did it didn't mean nothing. She told one of my friends that did go out with her that she had a boy friend in the army. And you no that i woodn't try to steal girl from her boy friend who is in the army, es- pecially one who is bulk sergeant.
 The chaplain was over to our: barraks today and told him about the awful way you was carrying on aobut nothing at all, and he told me that if you rote to me again like that he'd see what he could do about it. Come to think of it i promised him wood right you a nice long letter and explain just what happened and maybe this letter isn't just what he had in mind. Oh we'll, did go out with this red-head at Hartford, then, but all we did was to go to show with other couples, and then all had to run to catch the buss or we wood be late and that would have meant avail and then wood of had to talk to the chaplain sure.
 The chaplain had big sing at his chapel last sunday night and a hole bunch of us fellers went and sung our heads off. I thought we was going to sing every song in the book because all the fellers kept picking out more songs and the chaplain finally had to call it all off because his time was up and they had to have the chapel for another service.
 I took two of my friends over that wasn't on KIP. or Guard duty and they thought had been kid ding them about what a good time we had over at the chapel, but they talk louder and longer about it now than i do. Pm still a little horse from singing so much but it was worth it. We had all been going to the first show over at the movies and never thought that we could go to the second show just as well, so i think from now on we are going to wait for the End show and go to the chapel first.
 Come to think about it ain't mad any more about that red-head stuff, and hope you are the same.
 Your one-striper,
 Pfc. Joe.
