dashes ended abruptly near here
late yesterday when his motor
failed.
The Hollywood stunt and racing
pilot was en route from Burbark,
Calif., to La Guardia field in New
Yorfk, trying to break the west
east transcontinental record he set
Feb. 28, 1947. It was six hours,
seven minutes, five seconds.
Mantz and his green F-51 were
80 miles east of Akron at 25,000
feet, pushed along in “beautiful
weather” by a strong tail wind.
His supercharger stopped work
ing and the oil pressure went
down. So he turned back to Cleve
land airport.

Any (Nation Can
Get License To
Pish In Pacific j
WASHINGTON (/P)—Fishermen
of any nation—presumably includ
ing Russia—can get a license to
fish in Pacific waters under U. S.
I trusteeship the navy said today:
The atomic energy commission’s
secret bomb testing grounds at
Eniwetok are within the trust ter
ritory and the navy said the fish
ing licenses would be “subject to
revocation or modification when
ever security . . . <is> involved.”
Just how close a foreign vessel
—fishing or not—will be permit
ted to approach Eniwetok was not
revealed.
The original announcement of |
the establishment of Pacific prov
ing grounds for atomic weapons
marked off a 39,000 square mile
area as liable to have “hazards”
for shipping. This area would be
included in a circle roughly 115
miles from the tiny island.
Presumably the waters around
Eniwetok like others in the former
Japanese mandated islands,
abound in tuna.
The navy said companies inter
ested in such fishing should apply
t othe deputy high commissioner '
of the trust territory at Guam.

grounds for eviction, says the Wil

tor, Saturday ordered Charles P.
