This is more than twice the
total held in those selected type
of institutions at the end of
1943, when such personal re-
serves were building up at an
unprecedented pace, he declared.
"The net gain in these reserve
funds Of the people amounted in
1852 to an estimated $12.5 bill
lion. Much greater than the in
crease for 1851, this addition il
lustrates the gratifying spread of
the thrift habit in this country"
Mr.. Divers said these figures
do not include more than $40

Credit for the trend, Mr..

The squadron leaders regret
that their operations, particu-
larly in the wee hours, are
disturbing, but their main
worry is all the current talk
about economy and reduc-
tionS in force. Shorthanded
already in both pilots and
ground crews, the men now
are putting in about IL hours

When not on scramble"
duty, the pilots have training
flights, classroom work and a
daily briefing on interna-
tional developments while the
ground men keep the planes
in shape.
For the most part, the
squadron flyers have had
combat experience. About
two-thirds of them fought in
World War II or Korea. The
others are recent flying school
graduates.
Their commander, Maj.
James T. Winkler, although
only 20, has flown 155 combat

Top Westinghouse Electric Official Believed Drowned In Swift Stream in B.C.

KETCHIKAN, R-A top off cial of the Westinghouse Electric Corp, vanished Thursday while trout fishing in the swift waters of an interior British Columbia river, and companions said Satur- day they were certain he had drowned.
 The missing man, Fred T. Whit ing, 62, Chicago, a Westinghouse vice president, has been sought without success since Thursday by members of his party, Canadian Mounted Police and volunteers in the area.
 Westinghouse President Gwilym A. Rice, Pittsburgh, Pa, who was with Whiting. said here there ap- peared no doubt he was swept away in the turbulent Morice River, 15O miles east of Prince Rupert, B.C.
 Price said there appeared to be only two possibilities, outside of the remote chance a grizzly bear made off with Whiting. The Vest inghouse president speculated his assistant must have either slipped into the. rivers racing current or suffered heart attack and top pied in.
 The Mounties said that if Whit ing drowned he might not be found until the river carried his body into Owens Lake, 50 miles away.

 Nelson David, president, attrib- uted the sharp decline in operat- ing costs to economy measures and rganizational changes dur ing the past year. He said that en- phasis will continue on economy and efficiency to the greatest pos sible extent consistent with the company's policy of providing the public a reliable, first-class air service, both within Alaska and between the United States and Alaska.
