The leading plane was racing
along at supp\kedly safe 28,00O feet,
trying to find is bearings. when
vast wall of snow and rock loomed
suddenly ahead.
The startled pilot hauled at the
controls and fought for altitude, and
the second plane did likewise.
For seconds their fate was in
doubt Then an updrift tossed them
over the ugly barrier. Instruments
showed the ridge could only be Mt
Everest
Only when we'll on their way home
did further irony of their accidental
achievement sink in. They had been
wearing only tropical garb of khaki
shirts and shorts when they coasted
over the ice-armored peak on whose
slopes foot climbers clad in civiliza-
tons warmest clothing had frozen To
death. Yet they we're comfortable be-
cause they flew in warm, hermeti-
cally sealed aircraft.
Two other planes first crossed the
summit OF Everest in 1893 after eX.
haustive preparations. They photo.
graphed the area.
When an earthquake shook all
India some months later, causing 49,
600 deaths, Himalayan natives were
not surprised. The mountain god,
they said, was very angry.
THE AMERICAN WEEKLY
Detroit evening times., 1945-09-30
HARD-BITTEN Southern drill
crew listened with magnificent

unconcern a couple of years
ago to word that a new geologiSt
named j. King would be out soon to
help search for oil.
"Just another young squirt fresh
from college," growled the foreman
"Well, we've broken in plenty of 'em.
Let's get this rig movin'."
The crews indifference quickly
vanished when GeologiSt King ap
peared. For some wag in the Carter
Oil Co. offices had concealed the fact
that the J. in the name stood-not for
Jack. Jim or Jake but-for a very
feminine June.
And June King, then 81 and new
ly graduated from the University of
Kansas, is a pretty brunette who
might be an actress if she hadn't
turned to mixing glamour with oil.
Several tough drillmen almost fell
over themselves trying TO help her,
but the girl geologist quickly showed
that she knew how to handle and
chart the rock cuttings brought up as
samples of the strata far below the
top of the ground.
Old.timers were dubious at first
about having girl on the job. June
was nice to look at they conceded
but they questioned whether a wo-
man-especially such a distractingly
pretty one-could make any serious
contribution to the oil industry.
But June's businesslike manner
soon silenccd the doubters. Probably
she's aware of her charms, like all
comely girls, but during working
hours she's a geologiSt first. She
tramps over the drilling fields in
dungarees, workshirt and heavy
boots and doesn't mind getting
muddy.
"a woman can do everything in
geology that a man can do" she says
confidently.
Working out of Jackson, Miss
she proves that claim by reviewing
the logs of wells being drilled, enter
ing the data on maps, Sampling rock
cuttings and checking data from cleo
trio logs which are lowered into the
wells to give the engineers an idea
of what's going on
When in the field as she is about
half the time, she eats with the drill
ers and makes them feel she is one
of the gang.
People think that oil crews are a
tough, brawling lot of men," she said
recently, "but I've found them fine
bunch of boys. AS soon as they
learned that 1 was working for liv-
ing, just like themselves, they stopped
thinking it was funny to see a woman
in the field"
The only feminine geologist in the
Standard Oil-affiliated Carter organi.
zation, June already receives a good
salary and has excellent chances for
advancement in the strenuous career

"A brunette Greer Carson" is the
description some of her oil colleagues
give of the young Indianapolis-born
scientist.

Miss Carson in the movies" one of
the boys added, 81 ask myself:
What's she got besides those blond
locks that our June hasn't got?'
"Confidentially. this girl ought to
be in pictures. But we're all hoping
she stays right here in the oil busi

PAW Rule Prevents Ex-Sui|or
From Connecting Gas Stove

A 39year-old veteran of two years
service in the Navy is unable to have
his gas stove connected at his
home near Travilah, Nd. where he
lives with his wife. and is being
forced to do his cooking on an cleo
tric plate because of a Petroleum
Administration for War order pro-
hibiting the installation of any
equipment using bottled gas, it was
learned today.
According to Robert S. Billhimer,
veterans unemployment committee
man for Montgomery County Draft
Board No. in Rockville, the vet
er2n, James r. Creamer was honor
ably discharged from the Navy last
month.
Mr.. Billhimer said that when Mr.
Creamer Joined the Navy in March,
l943, he closed his home and had
his gas stove disconnected, while
his wife went to live with her sister,
Mrs. Claudia Crown, Gaithersburg
When Mr.. Creamer returned home,
Mr.. Blllhimer said, he applied to the
Philgas Service, Rockville, which
serves bottled gas consumers in the
area, to reconnect his gas stove.

Jimmy Stewart Named
Air Forces Full Colonel

Py the Associated Press
LONDON, April Movie Actor
Jimmy Stewart, who enlisted in the
Army Air Forces as private, is now
a full colonel.
He is serving as chief of staff for
a United States 9th Air Force COM
bat wing consisting of several
bomber groups. He came to the
European theater of operations l8
months ago as B-24 pilot with the
rank of captain.
Col Stewart has flown in 20 COM
bat missions. several of them as
command pilot. He led formation
of $50 Liberators over Berlin the
first time the Nazi capital was at
tackled in daylight by American
bombers.
After u flights as a squadron
commander Col. Stewart was taken
off regular flying status and became
a group operations officer.

He was told. however. that this
could not be done because of an
order issued February IS by the
PAW. This order, he was told, pro-
hibits the installation of new equip
ment using propane, or bottled gas
or the recOnnection of existing
equipment. No provision is made
in the order for returning service
men, Mr.. Billhlmer said.
Mr.. Creamer and his wife are
forced to use an electric plate for
cooking purposes which. he told Mr..
Billhimer. is Inadequate
Mr.. Billhimer said Mr.. Creamer
told him he could not see why his
stove could not be reconnected, nor
was he willing to purchase another
type OF stove since the present one
is in perfect condition. Mr. Bill
himer said this was the first such
case in the Rockville area.
PAW officials said the order was
issued to cut consumption of pro-
pane. because it is badly needed in
the synthetic rubber program. The
veteran, they said. apparently would
have to obtain some other kind OF
stove.

5096 Increase in Gas
After We Day Hinges
On Releases by PAW
Py the Associated Press.

Ey lHe hsSOCldteu fTesS.
A so per cent increase in gaso-
line ratlons after We day depends
on how the Petroleum Administra-
ton for wars estimate of additional
supplies turns out.
Price Administrator Chester Bowles
in statement last night said
if PAWS top calculation-an addi-
tional 100000 barrels a day-mate-
rializes, A-card motorists will get
sufficient gas for 6 miles of driv-
ing daily after Germany's defeat.
The present ration is miles.
But, if the extra supply made
available is PAWS minimum esti-
mate-100,000 barrels daily-the ad-
ditional allotments would, of course.
be much smaller" Mr.. Bowles said.
Sees Only Limited Increase.
The same goes for B drivers, who
in any event are slated for only a
limited increase
Declaring he hopes that PAW
Administrator Ickes' estimates will
be realized, Mr.. Bowles added
Any increase will help, but it is
far too soon to arouse hopes that
after We day we will have ample
gasoline for unlimited driving"
The OPA chief said A and B
drivers will get first consideration
when extra gasoline is available be-
cause they are the two groups OF
motorists who have been most seri-
ouSly curt>iled during the war.
Says Boost May Be Temporary.
MI. 1ckeS, in separate state
ment, emphasized that the post-V-E
day increase may be merely a
temporary one" 1t may continue,
he added only while the full
weight of the attack is shifting from
Europe to the Pacific"
PAW officials also stressed that
it will be 30 to 80 days after Ger
many's defeat before any extra gaso-
line can be made available to
civilians

No SO long ago a news item re-
ported the address Of young woman
doctor speaking in London on the
subject Of learning to hate. Before
1900 teen-age boys and girls, DR..
Barbara Sirnonds, it was stated,
warned that hate was not an emotion
we like. 1t comes with particular
difficulty to the young, she thought,
but at present is necessary. with
out hate" she went on to say, II
do not think we shall be able to
bring this war to a final and irrev-
ocable end and to build the world
for which we are fighting." The &C
count added that the 1000 students
cheered. (Time, January IS, 1945,
page 75)
Now contrast that thought with
the conduct Of some United States
soldiers in the Marianas. A badly
wounded Japanese prisoner needed a
blood TRANSMISSION. The company
commander, understanding how his
men felt toward the Japanese, hesi-
tated to ask for volunteers but went
ahead and made the gesture. Every
man in the company offered to give
blood. (Time, February 10, ls45
page 81
Too often these days warnings
against hate arouse only angry dis
approval, accusations Of appease-
ment, softness, coddling the enemy,
forgetfulness of his crimes and dis
loyalty to the dead and wounded.
How unreasonable this is appears
when one considers that what is
wanted is justice, that wrongs be
righted and that the enemy pay for
the unspeakable havoc he has
wrought. Justice demands this; but
justice never has been nor ever will
be based on hate.
Justice involves positive relations
and duties and rights. Hate is mega
tive, nugatory and evil.
Hate cannot serve as a principle
even of attacking and conquering an
enemy. What makes a man fly at his

Nuzi Atrocity Pictures

AS announced elsewhere in today
paper, The Star is joining with the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch in bringing
to Washington an exhibition of life
sized photomurals which depict
some of the horrors of Nazi concen-
tration camps. The exhibition will
open next Saturday at the Library
of Congress and remain there for
two weeks. In the meantime, The
Star is endeavoring to make ar
rangements for a public showing in
Washington of two United States
Army films, one of them an indoc-
trination film shown to our soldiers
abroad-"Our Job in Germany
and the other a series of scenes of
atrocities in the concentration
camps and elsewhere.
In the opinion of The Star, it is
important that Americans see and
know about the subject of these
pictures. AS General Eisenhower
said when he was here last Monday,
IT think people ought to know
about such things . . think the
people at home ought to know what
they are fighting for" Visiting st.
Louis, where the pictures were
shown under arrangements made
by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cen
eral Bradley said that the exhibition
was the next best thing" to seeing
the actual sights that he saw. Com
menting yesterday on the subject,
Representative Thomason of Texas,
one of those who made the trip to
Germany at General Eisenhower's
invitation, said that people who saw
these pictures would come away
with better understanding of how
imperative it is that the United Ma
tions succeed in establishing a
world organization.
These pictures contain a lesson,
not merely in the pitiable condition
of human beings subjected to Nazi
atrocities, but in the degradation of
a nation which suffered such condi-
tions to exist. The pictures show
what our soldiers saw and if our
people at home, and the people in
homes all over the world, could see
the same things, even through the
eye of camera, the danger of fu-
ture wars would be more remote.
That is one reason The Star be-
lieves the pictures should be shown
here.
