LOCAL PILOT WAS AT WAKE FOR
TRUMAN-M M'ARTHUR CONFERENCE

At least one Port Clintonite
was at Wake Island during the
historic conference between Pres
ident Harry Truman and General
Douglas Macarthur. He is Harvey
R. Barnholt, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. A. Barnholt, Madison street,
and now of Ell Granada, Calf.
Barnholt was co-pilot of Pan
American Air Lift DC-4 plane
which landed at Wake the same
day as the conference. He writes:
Arrived here yesterday (Octo-
ber 14) and saw Truman and Mac
Arthur at their meeting. They
have just departed Wake to go
back to Washington and Tokyo.
! leave tonight for Tokyo. My
wife, Rosemary, son, Rollie Tim,
and daughter, Teri Brook, also
send best regards to all in Port
Clinton"
Harvey sent along a historical
sketch of Wake, which is also
mucn appreciated.
Wake Island is an atoll COM
prised of three islands, Wake,
Wilkes and Peale. 1t measures
Az by pa miles with 10-mile
circumference and total land area
of four square miles.
Its population averages 500, con-
sisting of Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration, Pan American World
AirwayS, Transocean Airlines,
Standard Oil, Weather Bureau,
and Coast Guard personnel. Be-
fore the airlift started, average
population was 275.
President Roosevelt turned the
island over to the Navy Depart
ment by executive order and on
July 81, 1947, the Navy turned the
government over to CAA for full
and complete administration.
Wake Island was discovered by
the Spanish explorer, Alvaro de
Mendana in 1886. He named it
"San Francisco" In 1896, the
atoll was re-discovered by Captain
Wake, master of the British trad
ing schooner Prince William
Henry.
In 1910, Wake was explored by
Commodore Wilkes, U. S. Navy
and naturalist Titan Peale. The
German bark Libelle went aground
at Wake during a storm in 1866,
landing passengers and 100000 in
coins and quicksilver. The treas
ure has never been located!
On January II, 1899, Com
mander E. D. Taussig on the U.
S. S. Bennington, took formal
possession of Wake for the U. S. A.
