The order for the sweeping So
cial reforms, striking at the root of
Japanese feudal traditions which
were held responsible for the Paci-

central liaison office, communica-

government and Macarthur head
quarters.
MacArthur's five-page directive

to the spirit and letter" of the de-

taken toward compliance by Oct.

1924 miles was set by Howard
Hughes and a crew of four in 1898
at three days, 10 hours, eight min
utes 10 seconds.
Seven men and women were pas
sengers on the first trip of ATC's
new schedule, known as the
"Globster.
Planes will depart every Fri
day over the same route-across
the Atlantic to North Africa;
thence around the globe by way
of such stops as Cairo, Calcutta,
Running, Manila, Honolulu and
San Francisco.
Besides the eight who went all
the way, approximately 100 pas
sengers embarked and debarked
enroute. Thirteen different ATC
crews flew various stages.
There was one mishap. Motor
trouble developed over the Paci-
fic between Guam and Kwajelein.
The plane returned to Guam on
three engines. Passengers chang
ed to another C-54 and resumed.
ATC's original announcement of
the flight said it was to be made
in ISL hours, terminating at mid
night Oct. 4.
