SECRET INSTRUCTION

In fact, one of the most unusual letters in the State Department $ confidential files was written by Hoovers Postmaster General, Walt CT Brown, to Secretary of State Stimson in 1929, asking that "all practical assistance be given to the Pan American Grace Airways in securing operating arrangements in preference to any other American company"
 Secretary Stimson carried out the Postmaster Generals command.
 So far as is known, such an in- struction has never been issued either before CT since in the his tory of the State Department. All American consuls and envoys are paid by all the people of the Uni ted States and are given instruc- tions not to favor any one Ameri- can company as against another.
 Despite this time -honored policy instructions went to U. s. am- tassadors and diplomats in Latin America, to favor Pan American Airways as against it chief ccm- peiito.s, the Curtiss Aeroplane and

some twenty years ago with the blessing of the biggest bigwigs of the Republican party-the Mellon family, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whit ney, and Walter Brown, then the Chairman of the Republican Ma tional Committee and campaign manager for Herbert Hoover.
 On the other hand, Trans World Airlines and Howard Hughes have always played the Democratic side Of the political street. Their friends were Elliott Roosevelt, Governor Mon Wallgren of Wash ington, and, more recently, Cap Krug
 The issue at stake in this roliti- cal jockeying has been airmal ,on- tracts and air routes. And since Pan American Airways got into the game early. it has always favored the principle of monopoly
 If the inside story of Pan Amer ican lobbying were told it would reveal the placing of certain ex- State Department officials on it's payroll, an almost daily present of archids to the secretary of one high State Department official, and amazing pressure brought up- on Latin American governments by the State Department.

Connecticut, Brewster has spent several years trying to put Pan Ans ideas across on the Senate floor So far he has not had the support of a majority of his colleagues.
 How much Brewster's fondness for Pan Am had to do with the current investigation of Howard Hughes is not known. Brewster himself says there is no connec- ton. In any event, the facts now being unearthed should be brought out and made known to the pub lie; though it would be healthier for the public if the other side were brought out also.

Motor Co.,, and the New York, Rio de Janeiro and BuenoS Aires Air line.
 As a result, 52 representations were made by the State Depart ment to Latin American govern ments on behalf of Pan Am, in at least six of which the Depart ment acted to head off competing American airlines. In one case, the State Departments note to Guate- mala on behalf of Pan Am was so brazen that the entire Guate- mala cabinet resigned in protest. EVEN THE MARINES PROTEST
 In Haiti, the contract negotiated by Pan Am was so high that Gen. John A. Russell in com- mand of U. s. Marines, protested against the State Departments eff forts and branded the Pan Am con- tlacC "a monopoly of the most ob- jectionable characer"
 However, Postmaster General Brown, the campaign manager who elected Herbert Hoover, had spok- cn. Also, the Mellon familys money was involved. So the State Depal tment continued to crack the whip
 In Nicaragua, the U. s. Marine commander, Gen. Logan Feland, also protested against Pan Ans bigh-handedness, while the Hon. duran Congress passed a unanimous resolution criticizing the President of Honduras for lowing to the State Departments pressure to give Pan American Airways a monopoly.
 Thus, Pan American Alrways, with strong COP backing, conclud- ed the incest, tightest monopoly in the history of American avia- tion--in every country south of Mexico.
 fhANi, ti uC tO blllS illOliOpCilSI-C policy, Pan American has done it's best to persuade other airlines, mo- tably Howard Hughes and his Trans World Airlines, to cooperate with them in community com pany' by which one American line would be selected ty the U. s. Government to operate a monopoly in certain foreign countries Un- der such a plan, Pan American, being first in the field. undoubted- ly would receive monopoly in lucrative Latin America, plus other areas.
 In advocating this plan, Pan American has had the 100 percent support of Senator Brewster. Un- dying in his devotion to Pan Am, prodded occasionally by Pan Am vice president Sam Pryor. Repub- lican National Committeeman from

always doubted Grannys description of the size of
their barn until saw such barns myself years later in
Pennsylvania. But the barn Granny described must
have been something special even in that country of
bulgng red barns big enough to receive all the surplus
OF the Biblical seven years of plenty and to be
empted by any years of famine. The house
was no tiny thing beside it. As Granny described it,
when the farm hands in to eat the house had to
be huge to hold at the time the men and the food
they consumed
She back to the South from that childhood visit
with of fat earth which lasted through all her
years. She lady who liked the earth's good things

shad, the new green peas. Just as she remembered
Pennsylvania barns, recall her North Carolina table,
That is not all recall The lesson she learned from her
Quaker kin is one have never forgotten.
HE first morning of her visit to her Pennsylvania
cousins and probably all the other mornings they
had batter cakes for breakfast.
On that long ago Pennsylvania morning of her visit
she stacked her plate high and when the syrup came
around in big jug she poured it until the golden liquid
was nearly level with the edge of her plate Her elderly
cousin watched her with interest, but without COM
ment.
Granny must have been about eight years old then,
the age was when she told me the story She ate
heartily and quickly but when she settled back from
her plate there still quarternch layer of golden
brown syrup upon it.
Finish thy breakfast, Adeaide her cousin told her
firmly.
Il have" she said That's all l want"
The old Quaker lady's voice like dun-colored
velvet over iron.
Thee poured it out she said to the little girl
Thee will eat it,
To child, it was an admonition not to be dis
regarded But Granny remembered it all her years as
American pattern for plenty. She lived to become
very gracious lady, enjoying all the good things and
gladly sharing them. She liked people as we'll as food
and loved to bring them together She had pity for the
wicked but remember that she had only contempt
for the fools who made messy toy out of plenty play
ing with it, leaving it, wasting it.
She never begrudged anybody single or a thousand
batter cakes Her syrup jugs filled to be poured
But, as one who understood the meaning of the big
barns and the batter cakes she did not lightly take
what always seemed to her an idiots affront to the
generous spirit of an opulent land.

Macmillan Begins
25th Arctic Voyage
BY The Asxociotsd Press


BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Maine,
June 21.-From a sun-baked wharf
the schooner Bowdoin set sail to-
day on Comdr. Donald B. MacMil-
lan's 25th Arctic voyage-to clock
the speed of glaciers, record voices
of Eskimos and delve into secrets
of Northland minerals and an
thropology.
The trip is sponsored by the Chi
cago Geographic Society.
Cheers of almost 1000 residents
and summer visitors rang from New
Fisherman's Wharf as the gleam-
ing white vessel dipped across the
harbor.
One of many small summer craft
following the Bowdoin's wake to
the harbor entrance was manned
by Actor Sterling Hayden and his
wife.
Two of the listed company, which
includes representatives from IL
colleges, each interested in a par
ticular phase OF the Arctic, were
absent when the ship sailed.
One was First Mate Cecil E. All
church of Providence, r. l., who
suffered a broken collarbone in an
accident en- route to this port. The
other was Rutherford B. Platt,
Yale botanist, who will come aboard
when the ship puts in at Sydney,
Nova Scotia, first port of call.
During the cruise, a special study
will be made of polar Eskimos on
the Northwest coast of Greenland.

Comdr. Macmillan related, had
lived there for at least 1000 years.

 The projectiles made a strange. prolonged Whizzing sound, caused by the metal blowing through masses of ice particles in the air. These ice particles make it neces sary to set the range at 7700 yards to hit target only $500 yards away.
 That's one of the things the ord nance men have learned up here. They've learned too how much to allow for the difference in the force of the explosion when the gun powder is frigid, compared to warm powder. They've learned that the temperature is g degrees warmer 5000 feet above the earth than at ground level, and this ne- i cessitates another change in range calculation.

 The primordial silence of the frozen tundra was split by the thunder Of artillery fire. Tanks rumbled across the ice and snow, creating an expected ice fog which yelled the advance.
 Soldiers of the army ground forces charged heavily across the white, bitter wasteland, their riff les cracking and humming in the stiffness. Pyrotehcnics flashed gar iShly in the blue gray twilight.
 It was a mock battle fought by Task Force Frigid, the first such maneuvers ever held in a northern Alaska winter, according to staff officers, they said it showed how Alaska could be defended if at tackled.
 The party of touring neWsmen and photographers set out in wea- sels and jeeps before dawn to wit ness this unique test of military equipment and tactics. It was 47 degrees below zero.
