FBI Against Anti
Communist Bill
WASHINGTON, (A*) — FBI di
rector J. Edgar Hoover’s “grave
doubts of the wisdom of outlaw
ing of the Communist party all but;
clinched today a Congressional
committee decision on that hot,
Red issue.
“I would hate’’ Hoover said, “to
?ee a group not deserving the cate
gory of martyrs made martyrs
by some law which might later be
declared unconstitutional.”
'Rep. Nixon (R.-Calif.), told re
porters later the House committee
on un-American activities must
“give a great deal of weight” to
Hoover’s ideas. Nixon said legisla
tion to outlaw the Communist
party “won’t be approved as it is
presently written.”
And he implied that no bill to
outlaw the party will be approved, j
The FBI chieftain testified to the
committee late yesterday on bills
to wipe out the party.
Engene Dennis, party secretary,
also tried to tell the committee in
a statement that the bills are un- |
constitutional. He didn’t get a
chance.
In a short, rough and tumble ap-1
pearance before the committee,1
Dennis refused to give his right
room, and was handed a subpoena
name, was ordered curtly from the
to return April 9.

Gigantic Bomber
Lands Safely
FORT WORTH, Texas (A*)—The
army air forces $20,000,000 B-36,
heralded as able to “carry an
atomic bomb to any inhabited re
gion in the world and return," is
safe to fly another day.
Although the plane’s massive
right landing gear was damaged,
test pilot B. A. Erickson and co
pilot gus Green nursed the air
giant to a smooth stop on the Fort
Worth army air field last night a>
hundreds of soldiers and other
spectators cheered.
-Two hours earlier, the huge
plane, world’s largest land bomber,
had disgorged 12 of the 14 men
men aboard. A stiff wind caught
their parachutes and tossed them
over a wide section of the rolling
hill country west of Fort Worth.
Six of the men were injured in
landing.
The necessity of making an
emergency landing became appar
ent soon after the 139-ton experi
mental bomber took the air on it's
15th test flight. Through the long
intervening hours, as it burned up
excess gasoline and dropped its
passengers, the plane was in radio
contact with the air base control
tower.
Roland G. Mayer, manager of
the Fort Worth division of Con
solidated-Vultee Aircraft corpora
tion builder of the B-36, praised
the “wonderful skill” of the pilots,
both Convair men.
Balancing the great bulk of the
machine so that its weight bore

or fatality to a passenger or crew
member, Pan American World Air
ways has been given the 1946 Avi
ation Safety Award of the Inter
American Safety Council.
Contributing heavily to this rec
ord was PAA’s Pacific-Alaska Di
vision, with a base at Seattle which
received one of the Council’s cov
eted certificates. A total of 15,600
route miles, 3,568,271 flying miles
and 75,044,243 passenger miles was^
flown during 1946 to Honolulu, the
South Pacific, the Orient, and in
Alaska without an accident.
All Pan American operating di
visions, including Pacific-Alska,
Atlantic and Latin America, were
honored by the Inter-American
Council, whose president, George
H. White presented the Safety
Award to Juan T. Trippe, Pan
American president, at a ceremony
in New York.
