CAA Issues Distress
Signals Code
Requests have been received
Trom people living in relatively
isolated areas, for some form of
signalling that can be used to ask
lor help from passing aircraft.
Since such a signalling system
could also be used by fliers forced
down in mountainous and isolated
areas, the civil aeronautics admin
istration has adopted the ground
to air emergency code originated
by the Army and now dissemin
ated to military personnel.
In accordance with the proced
ure for establishing technical aero
nautical standards, specified in
Administrative Order 56, dated
August 2, 1946, and Standard
Practice 6370, the “Ground to Air
Emergency Code for use as Dis
tress Signals as shown on the at
tached CAA drawing No. 4-4324
81 is established as a Technical
Standard Order.
This Order is a mandatory pol
icy and shall govern all employees
of *the Civil Aeronautics Adminis
tration in their recommendations
to the public regarding ground to
air? emergency codes.

Reds Have Seized
Five Times As
Much As Hiller
(By The Associated Press)
Before Hitler’s Germany went
to wpr, she reached out and took
control of more than 100,000 neigh
boring square miles and upward
of 28,000,000 people.
During and since the war, Rus
sian and Communist rule have
spread over more than 680,000
square miles and more than 110,
000,000 people to the east and west
of the Soviet Union.
Hitler and his Nazis won most
of their territory by sending in
troops or by threatening to do so.
Russia and Communism got
theirs by occupying it in most
cases to drive out the Germans:
by winning concessions from the
western Allies, who needed Rus
sia’s help in the war; or by the
methods of Communist.parties in
neighboring countries, with Czech
oslovakia furnishing the newest
sample.
By these methods, Russia h is
annexed more than 240,000 square
miles and 24,000,000 people, reach
ing on the west into Germany and
on the £ast into islands north of
Japan.
