Rodor Crews Meet Worst Fog
7oDute in Airport oIk-Downs'

on instrument Landing approaches.
When the weather gets bad
enough to ground most pas
senger traffic, Col. Alison. former
aerial commando in the Pacific, who
oowned six Jap airplanes with the
Flying Tigers in China, often goes
out to National to check on Federal
airway operations with CAA Patrol
Pilots Randolph Mulherin and Ed
Rogers.
Check Landing Beams.
Yesterday they demonstrated the
system for Gen. Hutchison, who was
Col. Alison,s commanding officer in
the 308th Bomber Group, a COM
mando task force which operated in
front of and behind the Jap lines
from the Southwest Pacific to the
Philippines. Gen. Hutchison is now
chief of operations and training for
the Strategic Air Command. with
headquarters at Andrews Field.
In the group also was Bennett
Griffin. superintendent Of National
Airport, a CAA instrument develop
ment- expert who flew with Jimmy
Mattern in 1882 on the first Atlantic
crossing from New York to Berlin.
The inspection party, using GOA
to monitor its approaches, made
several passes at the runway in the
thick weather to test the accuracy
of the instrument landing beams
into which Mr.. Mulherin had locked
his automatic pilot, called George -
General Impressed.
Gen. Hutchison was impressed by
the manner in which George" held
the exact approach and applied the
precise amount OF power needed to
put the plane in easy landing posi-
tion 100 feet or so above the run
way, with no human hand at the
controls.
"You give George ORDERS" Gen.
Hutchison remarked, and he goes
right ahead and puts them into exc
cution, but he never says anything.
I kept wishing he would talk back. !"
! You mean talk back to general,
sir2" asked one of the group.
BY an odd coincidence, the last
time the writer had seen Assistant
Secretary Alison and Gen. Hutchi-
son was In the Philippines in April,
l945, when the two veterans flew q
party Of correspondents to COM
mando landing strip at Loag on
Northern Luzon, far behind the Jap
lines.
Col. Alison was the pilot. and the
general went along to make sure
the correspondents didn't see more
than they could understand. Prac-
tically everybody was along on that
trip except George, but with Col.
Alison at the controls, we didn't
seem to need him anyhow.

FRUIT CAKE?
SUGGESTIONS.

From Mrs. r. H. H., Washin9ton.)
I'm very anxious to make a fruit
cake, and my husband has re.
ouested that I make one that isn't
too full of fruit. The only one I
ever made was packed with fruit.
If I follow my last recipe and cut
down the proportions Of fruit used
will that spoil it? Perhaps some
one can help me with recipe that
calls for less fruit. want to use
the different varieties Of fruits, that
Is as many as can, for flavor.
Also, what should I put in the
can, when storing the cake, to in
sure its freshness?
To the person looking for slips
which won't ride up have you tried
nylon? I find that they neither
cling nor ride up.
For slip straps that keep falling
off your shoulders, try pinning them
to your bra straps. Or you can
move them closer to the center OF
your slip with few stitches and
minutes.
If youngsters spill food ut the
table it's a grand idea to use cork
or other type place mats under their
plates.
Has any one been wondering what
to do with used paper draperies
that have become torn? They make
very attractive shelf paper fol
linen closets and are nice as lining
in dresser drawers.

Is out Of all proportion to the value
Of keeping this child In the class

This sort of child is O. case for the
clinic, not the classroom. He should
be taken to the educational clinic,
studied by the experts, and then
sent to q class where he will be
given the specialized treatment the
experts prescribe.
I believe that every last child Is
precious and to be cared for to the
limit Of possibility. I also am firm
ly opposed to making the great
number Of healthy children pay In

able in any sense Of those terms.

gentleman declared, should be taken
between meals and without too
much food. Then It becomes a
harmless yet powerful tonic. That's

AUTO FREIGHT GO. IS
TO CARRY ON ALCAN
next YEAR

SPOKANE, Nov. 9.-tR The
Maniowe Transfer Company hopes
to open a motor freight line over
The original Alcan Highway be-
tween Dawson Greek and Fairbanks,
Alaska, early next year, Vice Presi-
dent John Manlowe said today
New equipment designed especial
ly for the route, is being built, he
said.
Because Of load restriction on
Alberta highways, he said, the COM
pany could not haul profitably di-
rect from the United States to
Fairbanks. Instead the firm will
ship goods by rail to Dawson Creek,
then load it on trucks for the 1897
mile road haul to Fairbanks.
Manlowe estimated that the mo-
tor freight rate would be sl40 a
ton for the haul. This is more than
the water freight rate but less than
half of the air freight rate Ship
ments by air have increased during
the current maritime strike.
No large auto freight line now
serves Fairbanks. Manlowe said.

BIRD SEASON
ENDS TODAY;
DEER, MONDAY

With the migratory waterfowl
season for Southeast Alaska clos
ing this afternoon at 1854 o'clock,
the Fish and Wildlife Service re-
ports that the season here has been
generally POOR, with decrease OF
ducks on local flats. However, some
hunters who went beyond the i'm
mediate area did fairly we'll on
10th ducks and geese.
Ducks were much scarcer locally
than in other years, although there
was a plenitude of geese popula-
ton.
The southern migratory flight on
the Stikine Rivere was very late
white geese were there some' 100000
strong a week ago.
The season for deer and goat will
end Monday. Up to now, there has
been only small take of deer,
probably due largely to the mild
and open weather.
1t is expected that hunters will do
better, with the change of weather
and their increased ambition as the
season draws to it's close. With
snowfall on upper levels, deer are
reported moving down. Very few
goats have been taken.
