Under the new procedures, the
United States Office of Education,
Federal Security Agency, is charg-
ed both with the location of dona-
BILE property and the approval of
the applications of institutions
which desire to receive donations.
Its field representatives will main-
tain liaison with major Naval
activities for the purpose of locat-
ing donable property. When re-
quested by a field representative,
the Naval activity will hold the
property for a period of 10 days to
allow the Office of Education to
obtain and present a properly GER
titled application from a donee.
The institution receiving the prop
erty must pay all packing, hand
ling and shipping costs. Navy De-
partment officials expect a sub
stantial increase in the volume of
donations during the next few
months. They emphasized, howev-
er. that the donee must demon

Because the small Iceland population

best-selling authors to make living writ
ing books, the government has for many
years granted annual stipends to established

but sometimes, he says, "they get cross at
me and reduce my salary, and then ! refuse

ton with Pan American on the
overseas routes.
Pan American is, to date, the
only airline with a complete trip
from the United States back to
the United States again, although
the circuit can be made on COM
bination of other airlines. When
and if Pan American is granted
domestic routes, Pan Americans
complete circuit ~will total more
than 21,700 miles. The list of
stopping points is roll call of
adventure and history, romance
and finance. Leaving New York,
the plane goes to Dublin, Lon
don, Brussels, Frankfurt, Prague,
Vienna, Naples, Istanbul, Ankara,
Beirut, Karachi, Calcutta. Ran
coon, Bangkok, Saigon, Hong
kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Midway,
Honolulu and San Francisco or
Los Angeles.
The institution of such a round
the-world route means that per-
son with as little as two weeks
vacation could make the trip and
still have time to spend sew
eral days in several of the most
glamorous cities in the world. A
months trip by airplane will be
the equivalent of a six months
trip by sea.
So, after twenty years, Juan
Trippe's dream is about to become
a reality. The dream is about to
bring all the world to the door,
step of the average man. The day
when a trip around the world was
only for the man of leisure, for
the rich man, is gone. The world
is open to nearly everyone.

but it had to put off until the wal
was over.
Early in 1916, the Civil Aero
nautics Board began debating on
various routes to go to the Amer
ican-flag airlines. The routes
granted extended Pan Americans
privileges farther and farther un-
til the Pacific decision, handed
down in July, supplied the miss
ing link in the foreign routes and
Pan American had the privilege
of operating from the United
States across Europe, Africa, Asia
and the Pacific, back to the United
States once more.
The shortest route covers a
distance of approximately 19,50C
miles. Depending on the type OF
aircraft used to fly the route, the
trip, including stops, will take
from 10 to 80 hours. Planes being
considered for use on the routes
include the Boeing 377 and the

bow. The cost of the trip will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
probably lower. Using existing
fares on various routes now in
operation and deducting 10 per
cent for the round trip, a ticket
from New York back to New York
would cost about $4,000.
As yet, Pan American has no
domestic routes. However, the
Civil Aeronautics Board already
has indicated it will look with
favor on Pan Americans appli-
cations for such routes inasmuch
as domestic airlines have been
permitted to operate in COMPETE

Dream Brings

A dream is coming true in 1947
A dream that took 20 years to
fulfill.
In 1927 a young fellow, recently
out of college, named Juan Trippe
got together few friends and in
terested them in starting an air.
line that flew over water. That
was revolutionary in those days
But if people had known what he
had in the back of his head, they
would not have thought he was
going to get very far because his
plans for the future were just
plain absurd. He wanted to fly
around the world. Not just fly a
plane-but fly a regular sched-
uled service carrying passengers
and freight to every major city on
every continent.
People sure would have laughed
if he had told them about these
plans. But not for long. The air
line Mr.. Trippe created, first
called Pan American Anyways and
then, as plans for the future be-
came more apparent, Pan Amer
lean World Airways, began reach
ing out to the far corners. First to
the tip of South America. Then
across the Atlantic and the Pa
cific. Then came the war.
With the arrival of the war, Pan
American World Anyways made its
first round-the-world trip. The
Dixie Clipper was flying between
New Caledonia and Auckland. The
outbreak of hostilities forced its
captain, Robert Ford, to continue
around the world, returning to
San Francisco via India, Africa
and New York, and completing the
first round-the-world flight by a
commercial transport.
During the war, Pan Americans
planes flew around the world and
pretty much on schedule. But they
were flying for the Army and the
Navy. Technically they weren't
a scheduled airline. Actually they
were allowed to fly certain routes
only because they were flying in
war service. Those routes weren't
yet Pan Americans, so the dream
hadn't come true. It probably

News for Returning Vets
Vets Need Durable Homes

Americas returning fighting men want durable homes, not chicken coops, Vice President Harry o. Bates of the American Federation of Labor told the National Public Housing Conference. MT. Bates is chairman of the A. E. of LIS Hous- ing Committee.
 Busting the false assumption that the housing emergency is lim- ited to the next two years and charging that veterans will be grossly cheated" if they are forced to buy jerry-built homes which be- come useless by the time they are paid for, the labor leader declared America cannot afford to "build now and plan later"
 In a strong plea for support of the Wagner-Ellender-Taft bill, which provides for a long-range, integrated housing program, MT. Bates said:
 "We would not be fair to Our- selves to assume that good homes for all Americans can be supplied through a brief, short-lived effort to provide two or three million homes regardless of their quality, regardless of their durability and safety and without plan to fit these homes into soundly designed neighborhoods and healthy com- munities. If that is all we were planning to do, we would be fool ing no one but ourselves and ig- noring the most fundamental facts underlying our whole housing problem.
 We must endeavor to build as much housing as our present capa- city, our facilities and our ingen- uity permit. But what we build we must build well.
 Veterans are entitled to special consideration in gaining access to the good and durable homes as soon as these are built. But vet erans must not be placed in the position of having forced upon them, at greatly inflated prices, in- ferior houses hastily thrown to- gether.
 Tt will not be a help to them but great disservice if they find themselves loaded down with a long-term financial obligation on a cheese-box house on a mud lot on the far end of town without streets, sidewalks, shopping facilities and adequate transportation"

SweatshOp Democrats Ask Hannegan for Apology For Article on Case Bill

A bloc of Southern Democrats are up in arms against Bob Han- negan, Postmaster General and chairman of the National Commit tee.
 It's all about a story in the Democratic Digest" monthly magazine issued by the Women's S Division of the National Commit tee.
 The writer declared that 8
 vote for the anti-uniOn Case
 bill was "a vote against the
 American people,"
 Naturally, the sweatshop Demo- crats from the South were not pleased. They are demanding an apology and the bloody head of the offending writer.
 That puts Hannegan on the spot. He can't afford to indorse the Case bill, even inferentially, and, of course, he doesn't want to have a head-on collision with a group of alleged Democrats from Dixie. Iceland is an island of volcanic origin.
