Worker Earning $50 Weekly Operates
Own Plane from Airfield in Backyard
By NEA Service

LITTLETON, Mass. - You
can own and operate your pri
vate plane on a salary of $50
a week and buy shoes fol
the children, too!
That's the assertion of a $50.
a-week factory worker who does
il.
Samuel DeSilvio of Littleton,
who has a wife and two chill
dren, has not only owned a plane
for eight years, but has his own
hangar and runway, too. The
hangar and runway, on a two
and-a -half-acre strip of land be-
hind his cottage home, make the
DeSilvio back yard convenient
take-off point for the family's
jaunts to cities and places of in
terest throughout New England.
A machine operator by trade
and an amateur mechanic only
by inclination, DeSilvio says
that far from being "rich
mans toy" a light plane costs
no more to own and operate
than the family car.
Sometimes he puts dollars
worth of gas in his 40-horse-
power plane and takes the fam
lily on Sunday cruise about
countryside. When he's
flush, he says, he tells the gas
attendant at an airport to fill
'er up" The planes gas tank
holds nine gallons. In a fair
wind, his small, two-seated plane
does better than 20 miles on a
gallon of gas. 1t requires no
more than a quart of oil for
every two or three hundred
miles"
DeSilvio paid $3.50 for his
plane, second hand, back in
1887. He couldn't afford hangar
charges so he built his own
hangar - and airstrip, too.
He made the hangar from
trees he cut down in his back
field while he was clearing
space for his homemade rum
way. He spent Sl4 at a local
sawmill to have the pine trees
cut into boards. This, plus the
cost of nails and taxpayer, rep
resents total expenditures for
the small T-shaped hangar.
It was landing and taking off
IN his father in laws pasture,
while he was counting his wife,
DeSilvio will tell you with a
augh, that developed his skill
n negotiating small airfields.
The DeSilvios took their hon.
.ymoon trip in the little plane
md their elder child, 4-year-old
valina, has virtually grown up
n it. DeSilvio, who had never
inkered with a plane until he
owned his own, spends not more
han IAN hour or two" a week
and cleaning the plane.
he still has time to keep the
avn cut and help take care of
truck garden he shares with a
leighbor.
On his $50 income he man.
lges to support a wife and two
keep up the payments
IN his house - and run the
blame. too. II there's a secret to
(, it's just ordinary thrift
less," he emphasizes.

region of Nancy and st. Mihiel,
the Yankees acquitted them
selves with distinction in defen-
sive assignments.
Then on Nov. 8, the 26th
heard the order to attack. Oper-
ating on the southern flank of
the main assault, directed toward
the fortress city of Metz, the di-
vision pushed across the Seille
and Sarr Rivers, crushing deter
mined enemy resistance under
weather conditions so adverse
that supporting armored and
other forces were unable to
maintain the pace. But the 26th
kept driving forward and, on
Dec. IL, smashed into German
territory at the Blies River.
Rushed to the aid of the First
Army during the Ardennes coun-
ter offensive, the Yankee Divi-
sion hit the south side of the
Nazi salient.
In late March, a few weeks
before VE-Day, the Yankees, rep
resenting the Third Army, made
the junction with the Seventh
Army which sealed the fate of
10000 Germans in the Saar Pal
atinate, and thus virtually elm
mated German resistance west
of the Rhine.

Alexandra Nurse Will Leave
This Week for Role in Pyle Film
BeuIoh Tyler Chosen
To Represent Cadets
In The 81 Joe

Pretty Cadet Nurse Beulah Tyler
student at the Alexandria Hos
pital School of Nursing, has been
chosen to play a prominent part in
the Forthcoming Ernie Pyle movie,
THE CT joe" and will leave for
Hollywood this week, accompanied
by Mrs Carol Krum, assistant chief
of public relations, Division of Nurse
Education, United States Public
Health Service.
Miss Tyler. who celebrated her
goth birthday Christmas Day, was
the model for the Cadet Nurse Corps

movie part by Producer Lester
Cowan.
The daughter of Navy doctor,
Capt. George Boyd Tyler, Miss Tyler
has had no acting experience and
does not know what she will be
called on to do in the picture which
will be based on Mr.. Pyle's writings
and released through United Artists.
She is thrilled" about her trip,
but says she will not desert nursing
for a movie career. In fact. she is
using her annual vacation time to
take part in the picture and will
make up her classwork and practical
duties next summer while her class
mates are on vacation.
Burgess Meredith, who will play
the lead in THE G.. I. joe" took part
in the national induction ceremonies

Alexandria School of Nursing said
the school officials are cooperating
in rearranging Miss Tyler's sched-
ule so she can represent the los, 600,
cadet nurses in the picture. AL
though we are already carrying on
with a depleted nursing staff, we
are proud and happy to make this
extra contribution to the war effort
and the United States Cadet Nurse
Corps" Mrs. Roszel said.
Miss Tyler was a member of the
first class to enter the Alexandria
Hospital School of Nursing when it
reopened october Is, 1943, after

Builder Negotiates
For Letter Mansion
As Site for Hotel

Final negotiations for the sale of
the famous Letter Mansion at $500
New Hampshire avenue NV, to
Alvin c. Aubinoe. architect and
builder, were under way today. Mr..
Aubinoe plans to build q hotel on
the site.
Prominent residents of the Dupont
circle area recently protested the
hotel project before the Zoning Com
mission and were successful in block
ing rezoning of the area to permit
buildings 80 feet high with the same
yard requirements as for 60-foot
structures.
However, since New Hampshire
avenue is 120 feet wide, the hotel
may still be 80 feet high under pres
ent regulations, but must have a
greater yard space.
The assessment OF the property
including land and improvements, is
s225,620. The proposed price was
merely given as ''in excess of $780,
0O0.' The deal is being handled by
Randall H. Hagner & Co., Inc.
Mr.. Aubinoe plans to build hotel
to be known as the Dupont Plaza
as soon as building conditions per-
NIT, if he acquires the property. The
property is now occupied by the Ma
tional Advisory Committee on Aero
Inautics and at the time of the zoning
hearing it was made clear that this
agency would not be forced out
during the war.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The British
government has refused to permit
the former Republican Premier of
Spain, DR.. Juan Negrin, to broad
cast tonight to meeting in New
York's Madison Square Garden,
called to urge establishment of q
democratic regime in Spain.
A foreign Office spokesman said
today the refusal was on grounds
that no facilities were available.
and that the former premier had
promised when he arrived in Lon
don that he would not indulge in
political matters.
DR.. Negrin will not be prohibited
from sending his message to New
York by cable, the spokesman said.
To grant DR.. Negrin permission
to broadcast for political purposes" I"
the British spokesman said, would
constitute an unwarranted excep-
tion and justify the expressed
grievances of other persons with
stronger cases who in the past have
been refused similar facilities"
Correspondents asked for similar
