Correction: We made a serious
error last week and herewith of
fer our apologies to the Com
missar, Mr.. E. J. Kratochvil. The
picture and interview identified
him but our spelling of his name
was hardly recognizable.
Our neighbor, ADC-AP Victor H.
Pajari pronounced Pahry), is one
of the few men remaining in his
rate in the Navy. He is an enlisted
pilot, rating first established
at the end of World War I when
the Treaty Of Versailles set limits
on all ornaments, ships strength,
and the numbers of men who
could be employed to serve, among
other categories, on officer status
in the flying services. Whether de-
liberately or not is matter for
speculation, but the loophole was
there and the Navy used it: there
could be any number of pilots, If
they were enlisted, and many were
trained as such.
Chief Pajari said, Near World
War III there were very few left
and the Navy needed lot of pilots
in hurry, so they started train
ing them again. There were many
men who wanted to fly but did
not want to take cadet training.

I'm 1899 | went through boot
camp and aboard the Carrier York
town, from there to Aviation
Machinist Mate School, to a car
rier squadron and then to Flight
Training. We graduated right at
the end of the war because they
kept adding phases to the program,
making it longer than the thirteen
montnS originally intended. So we
were all trained as combat crews,
but too late to go into combat.
Instead | went to a flying boat
squadron, and for four and a
half years flew the Mars, princi-
pally between Alemeda and
Hawaii. My squadron set the re-
cord for the number of men car
ried in any plane; there were 300
men ON one flight and as far as
! know it still stands. The Mars
set fantastic records; it could car

plane ever built. In 1856 when the

some were sold to a Canadian
timber company.
Privately owned forests in Can
ada are not protected by the gov
eminent so they look for cheap
and efficient ways to fight forest
fires. The timber company can
land the Mars on a lake, open the
null tanks, fill them with 5000 gal
Ions of water and dump it on the
fire, wherever it is. They need
experienced pilots and | have
even thought a little about the

Chief Pajari added that he pro-
badly would not promote the idea,
because he and Mrs. Pajari are
anxious to go back to Whidbey Is

sort of flying he did there.
"Well, | flew RAIDS and towed

it is sometimes not so safe. I've
had seven thousand feet of cable
out behind my plane and they
would still shoot in front of me.
You'd wonder what they logged
in on; you were pretty sure it
wasn't the sleeve. We had some
close calls = one gunner clipped
the cable four hundred feet from
my plane tail"
We wondered what might have
been the most interesting flight
on this tour. The Chief told us
there were two trips to Adak,
one last year, when he flew
caribou to the island. "They want

vival problem with the mature
ones in SO, and they were also
hard to transport. Helicopters
went out from Anchorage and
drove off the mothers of a heard
so about DO babies could be taken.
They were tied up in quincy sacks
and put in pens built into the
station plane. Some Fish and Wild
life men went along with us to
care for the caribou; inside the
plane they let them out of the sacks
so they could move around. We
thought by hand feeding they
would get along better than the
older ones on the first attempt,
but the death rate was about the
same. Only about eleven lived five

particularly afraid of flying but
they were very young and in a

There was another time, some
years earlier, when Chief Pajari
aided shipload of animals being
taken from the Far East to the
San Francisco ZOO; the ship, still
400 miles at sea, ran out of the
curious variety of foods fancied by
the menagerie.
The captain feared the ele-
plants and larger animals might
tear up the ship if they became
hungry enough, and called for
help. The Chief flew out and drop
ped large plastic bags of worms
and hay and other like delicacies,
and all was well. In appreciation

wife of the Commanding Officer

Africo May Hold
Forty UN Scots

Within a few years, African nations
may hold as many as forty seats,
approximately one-fourth of UN seats
to form a powerful bloc.
The current turmoil centering in
the Belgian Congo can hardly. be
Judged as a true barometer of the
results of Africans first step towards
full freedom.
Over the past decade, at least ten
new African nations have strobe forth
in a relatively orderly fashion towards
new-found independence During the
Second World War, for instance,
only four African countries were
completely minus the ShackleS of
European countries. And strangely
enough, two of these nations, Ethiopia
and Egypt had their origin in pre-
Biblical times. The other two, Liberia
and the Union of South Africa, were
carved out by migrants from America
(Negroes) and England.
Time Magazine pointed out recent
ly the diSSimilarity between the pol
icies of France and Belgium as related
to their African colonies. Throughout
the Belgium Congo. only 16 college
graduates can be found among its
thirteen million population. In con-
traSt, the some dozen colonies gaining
independence from France seem fully
prepared to accept the responsibility
of self-government Scores of the
Africans from Frances colonial en-
pire were educated and trained in the
''fatherland."
Once freedom is declared in ac-
cordance with agreement from the
fatherland, the new African nation,
in most instances, seeks membership
in the United Nations organization.

Statement On Civil
Rights Legislation
By ROY WILKINS

ica, we call upon both political parties
for assistance in the enactment of
civil rights legislation at the recon-
vened August session of Congress.
Both parties have adopted strong
civil rights planks with substantial
areas of agreement between them.
We ask both parties for an August
down payment on these planks as an
earnest of their intention to execute
the planks in full during the next
administration.
While we shall press to obtain
civil rights legislation at this session
of Congress, we are equally deter
mined to do everything possible to see
that such legislation does not become
a political football.
Civil rights bills must be handled
sincerely on their own merits and not
in such a way as to constitute a body
block to consideration of other leglS-
lation before the Congress, as, for
example, medical aid for the aged,
housing, school construction and min
imum wages.
To the end that civil rights legiS-
lation may become reality rather
than a political pawn, we call upon
Vice-President Nixon and Senator
Kennedy to take this issue out of the
partisan arena by agreeing upon a
measure or measures which both
parties can push to enactment along
with other legislation at this short
session.
We suggest that basis for such
an agreement lies in legislation pro-
posed by both platforms upon which
hearings have already been held by
the Congress. AS possible examples
of such legislation, we suggest legis-
lation which would:
l.. Facilitate compliance with the
Supre Courts desegregation
decisions by extending federal aid
and technical assistance to schools
which in good faith attempt to
desegregate.
2. Authorize the Attorney General
to bring actions in federal courts
to protect constitutional rights.
8. Establish a statutory body to
protect equal job opportunities on
government contracts.
1t has been established over the
years that neither party alone can
deliver on civil rights promises.
What is vital now is that the two
candidates agree upon legislation
which both will support actively in
accordance with the pledges of their
respective platforms.
We are confident that the necessary
two-thirdS can be mustered for cloture
in the Senate if Vice-PreSident Nixon
is determined to obtain the support of
two-thirds of the Republicans and if
Senator Kennedy is determined to
obtain the support of two-thirds of the
Democrats (Southern Democrats rep
resent substantially less than one-thlrd
of the total number of Senate Demo-
cratS).
AS for as the House is concerned,
the Rules Committee could hardly be
a stumbling block if Speaker Rayburn,
acting for Senator Kennedy, and Min
ority Leader Halleck, acting for Vice
President Nixon, jointly seek Commit
tee action.
On this road lies the possibility.
even the probability, of civil rights
legislation at this session of Congress
and this can be accomplished without
the excuse that to so act would hold
up full consideration of other pending
and needed legislation. A test of the
good faith of the parties and of the
presidential candidates will lie in their
willingness to avoid partisan pickering
over civil rights and to unite in the

Drama Critic OF The Star


It is the professional obli-
CATION of film reviewers to
keep a sense of proportion
and a maximum of broad
mindedneSs toward the ma
terial that is turned into
movies.
AS a class, they are anti
censorship on a variety of
premises, one of which is that
it is the taste with which a
subject is handled that de-
termineS its artistic respecta-
bility.
In spite of this attitude.
however, there is evident
recently an increasing crit
ical petulance with the
moviemakers' excess of in
terest in sin. From morning
screening to morning screen

conversation-their talk in
Inmates that this interest is
not merely excessive but,
worse, exclusive.
Pretense Irritating
Where this shows up most
explosively, of course, is in
the reviews they write; not
the scornful dismissals of
Brigitte Bardot'S latest
stripped tease, but of movies
that make a pretense of
being more or less the last
word on the depravity of
human behaviour.
This is particularly visible
at the moment in the critical
reaction to a variety of pic
lures around town whose
subjects virtually run the
gamut of the capital sins.
Most notably lust.
These critical whammingS
frequently produce consider
ably less than the effect at
which the critics aim. Among
themselves, indeed. but only
in their more cynical moods,
the reviewers are waiting for
the first management that
dares to quote something like
"Sordid," Star; "Nauseating,"
News; or Degrading" Post.
These are saleable words,
the critics rather suspect, but
so far they have found no
exhibitor so unrespectable or
disrespectful as to try to use
them. TRY to-" since they
could hardly expect to get by
advertising departments that
have enough respect for their
profession to reject the idea.
AS illustrative of the effect
of taste on the critical reac-
ton to pictures, this week

of a critics pet with his
