These Men
Are Really
Sky Pilots
By JOHN F. sEMBOWER

CHICAGO.-"Sky pilot" is
no figure of speech when 1t is
applied to flying missionaries
of the Moody Bible Institute
here. About IS vigorously
trained aeronauts are about to
get their wings" as the cur
rent crop of graduates from
one of the worlds most un-
usual fight training programs.
Soon they win join earlier
alumni of the program who
regularly fly small planes into
postage stamp-sized landing
strips all over the world, in
Central and South America,
Alaska. Africa and Asia.
They received four years of
instruction. including 300 hours
of flying, full Civil Aeronautics
Administration flight certifica-
ton, radio licenses, plus much
more than the ordinary amount
OF aircraft and engine main
tenance instruction. They
also learn about jungle sur
vival, aerial surveying and
weather forecasting.
Our men, we feel, must be
better than average CONNER
cial pilots, because they must
be able to maintain their own
aircraft as well as fly them, .
explains Paul Wertheimer, one
of four instructors under the
direction of the Rev. Paul
Robinson, head of the pro-
gram.
Nine Yeors Of Growth
MIR. Robinson, a former Bap-
tist minister, launched the
school in 1916 with a class of
three, and he has seen it grow
to its present size, with its own
90-acre Moody Wooddale Air
port, including four hangers,
a complete engine repair shop,
welding shop and radio tower:
IL training planes, 100 trainees
and four instructors.
When it became apparent
that missionary pilots could
get their religious message into
the most inaccessible parts of
the world, a group of financial
supporters of the huge non
UNCONVENTIONAL downtown in
stitute here pooled 100000 to
purchase the airport.
Typical of plans made by
members OF the group are
those of one young pilot who
will leave soon for his first
missionary assignment in Bor-
neo, where travel heretofore
has been only by river.
He will be able to assemble
his small plane and repair and
service 1t from the kit of re-
placement parts he takes With
him, as well as to set up his
own radio station. He will

OTTAWA. Canadian au-
thorities are contemplating the
task of supervising free cleo
tons in Wet Nam with no
great amount of enthusiasm
in view of difficulties they
foresee.
what are the chances for
the success of such a project
in a country divided between
two hostile groups that've only
just stopped fighting?" one Of
fetal commented. Neverthe-
less, despite the odds against
any Wet Nam elections being
the kind of fair and democra-
tic vote to which Canadians
are accustomed, officials here
recognize that Canada is NOR
ally committed to do what it
can to carry out the directive
Of the Geneva Conference.
When that conference ar
ranged the o-China cease
fire, it asked India, Canada
and Poland to become mem
bers of the international COM
missions to supervise imple-
mentation Of the armistice
terms in Wet Nam, Laos and
Cambodia. The three countries
are now engaged in this task.
At the same time, the con-
ference said that by July of

Used hangar with a matched
roof that he will help build
himself.
Bucket Brigade
The kind of rescue and COM
munications work these pilots
have to do in areas where land
ings even for helicopters would
be impossible led to the in
vention of a gadget which now
has the attention of the Air
Force. It is a canvas bucket
which can be lowered from a
moving plane into a jungle
clearing.
Three students-Henry WAL
ton, Nate Saint and Dan Derr
working with. their instruc-
tors, Mr.. Robinson and Mr..
Wertheimer, perfected it.
After figuring out the scieh-
tif1c potentialities, they let out
a canvas bag on 1900 feet of
sashweight cord feeled on a
hand winch from the lear of
their plane flying at about so
m.p.h. Then flying in circles,
they discovered that as the
circles diameter was narrowed
to 600 feet, the bucket began
to descend slowly like the tail
of a tornado.
In demonstrations, the Rob-
Observation-Disclosures team can
place the bucket gently on a
handkerchief in an open field
and fly around it for minutes.
Shortly after his graduation
Saint used 1t to place drugs
in the midst of a marooned
party stricken by a jungle
epidemic VIXEN all other at
telnpts at free drops and par
achute drops had failed.

Wet Nam Vote
Comedian Tenn Isn't Looking Forward
To Its Role in Supervising Election

1855 the Communist govern
ment of North Wet Nam and
the anti-Communist govern
ment of South Wet Nam must
confer on the problem of hold
ing a national election which,
the conference said, must take
place by July. 1856. The &C.
neva powers also decreed that
the election should be super
vised by q commission repre-
senting the same three coun-
tries serving on the armistice
commissions.
No Request Yet
So far the Geneva powers
mainly Britain. Russia and
France-have not specifically
asked Canada to take action
on the plan for election super
vision of which the confer
ence's final communique gave
notice. It is believed here that
such q, request is awaiting
evidence that the governments
north and south of the 18th
parallel viii cooperate in
staging a national election to
decide which of them shall
rule the reunited country.
While the South Wet
Namese did not sign the
Geneva agreement ending hos
tilities in Indo-C China, they
have indicated they are pre-

pared to abide by It. Whether
their willingness to go along
with the Geneva decisions in
cludes willingness to cooperate
with the Communicated Wet
Mini on the election issue Is
not known here. Canadian
authorities had speculated
that there might be prelimi-
nary discussions of the ques-
ton between the two parties at
the Bandung Conference. but
the refusal of the North and
South Wet Nam representa-
tives even to sit side by side at
the conference table dampened
optimism here.
Canada's role In the final
political settlement in Wet
Nam is thus still uncertain.
The Canadian government has
accepted no responsibility in
regard to the proposed cleo
ton. although letting it be
known that it will not shirk
what it considers a moral OBJ
legation to share the task of
supervising the election.
Officials here maintain that
the initiative in making ar
rangements for the election
rests with the two Wet Nam
governments. However, they
are not at all sure that the
function of the supervisory
commission will-or should
be limited to supervision of the
actual polling. They believe
the commission might have a
useful role in helping the Wet
Namese set up election ma
chinery, for example.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-05-01

Sources here said that when
and II Canada undertakes
this new responsibility, its
goals viii be to ensure "a rea-.
sonably fair election" As one
official put 1t, we're Lot In
terested in observing a Polish
plebiscite in Wet Nam"
Free Movement Problem
Difficulties which the armis-
tice commission in Wet Nam
has encountered in getting the
two antagonistic governments,
and particularly local authors
ties in Communist North Wet
Nam. to facilitate the move
ment Of refugees to territory
under the control of the other
government are not considered
happy auguries for a free and
democratic election campaign.
OFFICIALS here pointed OUT
that free movement of politi-
clans, newspapermen and
others throughout all of Wet
Nam during the election CAM
paign is a prerequisite for pre-
senting both sides of the elec-4
ton issues to the voters. They
consider this to be one of the
democratic rights guaranteed
to all Wet Namese in the
Geneva agreement.

Lester B. Pearson has said
that Canada reserves the right.

commissions if those bodies
are frustrated in their efforts

BY HENRY LEADER

ALBANY.--By all recognize
able symptoms, Gov. Averell
Hartman has White House
fever. .
It's a self-controlled case.
New York's first Democratic
Governor in IL years says he
favors Adlai Stevenson for the
party's presidential nomination
next year-and few doubt his
sincerity.
But political observers are
convinced that Mr.. Hartman
is preparing to try to grab the
nomination If MIR. Stevenson
should count himself out or be
counted out.
The same observers believe
that Mr.. Hartman would ac-
cept the vice presidential NOM
nation, but only as Mr.. Ste
venson's running mate.
Albany political experts have
seen White House fever de-
velop in a number of New York
Governors, among them Alfred
E. Smith, Franklin d. Roose-
welt and Thomas E. Dewey
So they are alert for the signs.
Two Symptoms
Two of the most common
symptoms are a keen interest
expressed publicly and often
in national and international
affairs and an oblique demon
stration of rugged good health
Gov. Hartman has marked
himself with both. ..-.
Since becoming Governor on
January l he has delivered
number of speeches devoted in
whole or part to problems high
on the list of presidential
headaches.
He speaks with a back
ground of experience in ma
tional and international af-
fairs. He was Ambassador to
London and Moscow in World
War II and took part in the
Teheran and Yalta conferences
After the war he was Secre-
tary of Commerce.
Some of Mr.. Harriman's re-
marks have been critical of
President Eisenhower.
Although deeply immersed
in the affairs Of New York
State. Gov. Hartman has
found time to receive and talk
things over with many ma
tionally and internationally
prominent figures.
In the health department:
On a cold, snowy day last
month Gov. Hartman went
to the Adirondacks for a few
hours of skiing. State Com
merce Department photog-
raphers accompanied him and
gave the press pictures of him
skiing, although an aide denied
that the expedition was
planned to show that Mr..
Hartman, at SO, was in ex-
cellent health.
Still another sign that Gov.
Hartman wants to get him
self in position for q crack at
the presidency is seen In his
attitude toward and his rela-
tons with the press.
Before his election last fall
Mr.. Hartman was quite criti-
cal of. newspapers. He since
has cultivated newsmen and
enjoys friendly relations with
State capitol writer's and their
bosses.

Hartman
New York Governor Shows All Symptoms
Of Mon With Acute President-itis

DEMOCRATIC convention In Chi
cago next year with a power
ful lever that has often been
used to pry open the door to
nomination-New York States
90-plus delegate votes. If he
does not win the nomination
he will at least be a "king-
maker" by reason Of the NUM-
Der Of delegate votes he will
control.
Had EorIy Support
He had the initial support of
most Of the New York delega-
ton when he sought the presi-
dental nomination in 1852.
This strength evaporated when
the trend toward Gov. Steven
son became unmistakable.
Oddsmakers now would I'M
doubtedly list Gov. Hartman
as a long shot in the presiden-
tial sweepstakes. But that
would not bother the tall, lean.
wealthy son of the railroad
empire builder, E. H. Harri-
man.
A year ago today you could
have obtained long odds that
Mr.. Hartman would not be
nominated for Governor and
elected.
Yet with Tammany Hall
support, the dedicated New
Oealer-Fair Dealer won the
nomination from Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr.
Then Mr.. Hartman went on
to upset United States Sem
ator irving M. Ives, re-
firing Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's
personal choice for the Re-
publican nomination. True
Mr.. Hartman was elected
by only 1000 votes, but
they put him into office.
BY nature Gov. Hartman is
shy and aloof. Since becoming
Governor, however, he has
overcome these political handi-
caps to a large extent. More
over, he has greatly improved
his public speaking ability,
which was graded as poor no
less than a year ago.
Legislative Record
Always a persistent fighter,
Mr.. Hartman tussled frequent
ly with Republican leaders in
control of the State Legisla-
ture during the three-month
session, which ended April 2.
Political writer's, totaling up
The score, called the battle a
3tandoff.
Gov. Hartman sought a
number of things he did not
get. Republicans put through
much of their own program
but yielded to some Of Mr..
Harriman's demands.
In a post-session statement,
Gov. Hartman deplored the
Republican ditching of his re-
quest that Congress be asked
by the New York Legislature
to boost the minimum wage in
interstate commerce to SLIPS
an hour.
Senate Chief Walter j. Ma
honey retorted that the Re-
publicans had been ION guard
against attempts to revive
New Deal-Fair Deal socialistic
panaceas." And Mr.. Mahoney
maintained that the Governor
was showing IAN inevitable
tendency to promote his own
presidential ambitions"
