The. World Today

WASHINGTON LPb--When Gen.
Macarthur disappeared into the
applauding platform crowd after
delivering his keynote speech at
the Republican National Conven-
tion he may really have begun his
fade-away from American public
life, or at least its political life.
He was a Taft man. So long as
the Ohio senator had chance for
the presidential nomination, Mac
Arthur had a chance for the vice
presidential spot. There was even
talk Macarthur might be consider
ed for President if Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower stalemated each other.

But the door slammed shut on
any hopes Macarthur might have
had for high elective office when
the nomination went to Eisenhow-
er. Two generals on one ticket
would have been one too many,
anyway. And there was no reason
why Eisenhower should want him
on the ticket. There was no love
lost between. them.
Because his pre-convention hos
tility to Eisenhower was no secret
and because their foreign policy
views were so opposite, it's unlike
ly Macarthur would offer to stump
for Eisenhower or that Eisenhower
would want him to.
This undoubtedly was MacAr-
thurs last chance for the White
House or the vice presidency.

MINISTER COLLECTS HATPINs

EDGEWOOD. R. /. P)-Three
years ago, the Rev. Earl E. Story,
ID. D., didn't own a single hatpin;
now he has more than 700.
Story, minister of the Methodist
Tabernacle here, was told by a
former parishioner to throw away
four hatpins she donated for a
sale at his former Newport church
if nobody wanted them. There were
no takers and from that time on,
Story was hatpin collector.

airport manager, Gura Lashlee, is
the greatest aviation instructor
who ever lived.
But then he was still 13 and
couldn't get license for another
four years. So the white coveralls
were put to work cleaning planes
handling tools to mechanics and
doing all sorts of handy jobs-in
addition to spending every possible
minute in cockpit, either on the
ground or in the air.
Fell in Love
Meantime the young airman
went to high school, earned letters
in basketball and wrestling and
fell in love with a girl he met in
the freshman play.
Mrs. Coston resigned herself to
her sons flying, but the father,
who had never been in a plane
held steadfastly against the whole
foolish business"
But on his 18th birthday, when
Rodney checked out" for his
license at the airport, both mother
and father were on hand to see
him. Mrs. Coston took the first
ride with her son as licensed
pilot and the boys father took the
second flight, after extracting a
promise Ito fly low and slow" -
Crop o ustine Job
For the next year the most FAM
iliar phrase in the language to
Rodney was, Sorry, son. You're
too young" Finally he landed a
job flying crop-dusting plane.
He spent up to 10 hours a day in
the cockpit over the Arkansas cot
ton fields.
Meantime, the freshman-play
romance had continued to blossom
and Rodney decided when he was
19 it was time to get married,
which brought on a family crisis
only second to his determination to
be a flier. Finally, after he had
threatened to join the paratroops,
the parents again gave in and last
September, Doris Jean Parrish be-
came Mrs. Rodney Coston.
Another round of job-hunting
finally ended last March, when
Rodney went to work for Pan
American and started the COM
pany's exhaustive training course
in South San Fransisco. Finally,
after obtaining a waiver from the
Civil Aeronautics Board, the Jun
ior birdmsn" was a fully accredit-
ed second officer and regularly
scheduled on the cross-Pacific
flights.

When he appeared before the
convention in civilian clothes he
looked like what he is: an old man.
BY the time the 1856 conventions
roll around Macarthur will OBJ
viously be too old for considera-
ton. He'd be 76.
Neither his appearance nor his
speech was sensation. He got an
ovation but the following night for
mer President Hoover got bigger
one. And there were yawns as
Macarthur picked his way through
his long and carefully prepared ad-
dress. The yawns may have been
due to his complicated sentences.
Or maybe what he had to say had
become an old story.

Absorbed With Aviation
Rodney's absorption and interest
in aviation became apparent back
in Malvern at the family dinner
table. So when he was reported
missing from school, his mother,
Mrs. Ebert Coston, simply called
the local airport. Rodney, of course
was there, having skipped school
to wash airplanes and help around
