SMALL AIRCRAFT REPAIR
PARTS HARD TO OBTAIN
Of particular interest and con
cern to small aircarft owners and
to pilots contemplating the pur
chase of small aircraft for their,
personal use is the fact that they
may soon find it difficult to secure
repair parts for their aircraft and/
or radio equipment. This is defin
itely true if their needs happen to
fall under the classification of “in
dustry materials on short supply”
or if they fail to take the necessary
steps in their efforts to secure
them.
What to do about it and what
the steps are that they should take
so as to be able tq properly oper
ate and maintain their aircraft is
of vital concern to ALL aircraft op
erators; however, the small oper
ator-owner is the one who may
find it difficult to come up with
the correct answer.
Effective November 20, 1950,
the CAA was assigned certain
"claimant agency”* responsibilities
in connejtion with carrying out
the provisions of the Defense Pro
duction Act (PL 744) of 1950 inso
far as this Act affects civil avia
tion.
All persons who wish to request
an NPA (National Production Au
thority) Directive for “materials”
for which the CAA serves as
claimant agency will make initial
request for action on the part of
the CAA to the appropriate CAA
- Regional Office. This my be done

Burmese Convict
U. S. Surgeon Of
High Treason
| RANGOON, Burma, (/P) — A
! Burma court judged Dr. Gordon
| Seagrave, World War Two’s “Bur
maj surgeon,” guilty today of high \
treason.
The 53-year-old American was
sentenced to serve six of his re- j
' maining years in prison for aiding j
!hill tribesmen rebelling against
the Burmese government
i Seagrave’s attorney said he (
would appeal the verdict and that!
he expected the appeal to be heard ;
in about three weeks. i
i
The court found Seagrave guilty j
of two of three charges against
him. It sentenced him to six years
at hard labor on one count, andI
one year on the other, with the j
sentences to run concurrently.
The verdict came as a complete
surprise. Most persons here ex
pected his acquittal.
i Seagrave received the verdict
stoically. Only his moving jaw
j muscles betrayed any feeling.
But after the judges left the
courtroom, he told reporters:
“I sincerely hope the American j
people will not judge the people
of Burma by the actions of a few. j
“I bear the Burmese people no
malice for this,” he added.
The famed surgeon, was deco-1
rated by King Georgfc VI and the j
U. S. government for his heroism |
during Gen. Joseph Stilwell’s jun- 1
gle retreat from Burma in 1942.
Seagrave has spent more than!
25 years giving medical aid to the
Burmese people.

Misunderstanding
Caused Crash
PHILADELPHIA, ,(/P)—The pi
lot of an airliner that crashed at
International airport Sunday is
quoted as saying he landed his
plane in the middle of a 5,350-foot
runway because of a misunder
standing.
Larry Gates, representative of
the Airline Pilots Association,
AFL, said the pilot told the civil
aeronautics board investigators he
thought an “under construction”
warning referred to about 1,000
feet of a strip that had been in
service for some time.
The tower operator, however,
meant a 2,000-foot extension of
the runway which is 65 per cent
complete.
Seven persons were killed in the
crash of the National Airlines
DC-4.
The pilot, was Capt. Harold
Barwick, of Jacksonville, Fla.
ALASKA 1950 PRODUCTION
VALUED AT $490*000*000
JUNEAU — Production in 1950
from the Territory’s fishery* min
eral, timber, fur* tourist and con
struction industries was valued at
approximately $490,000,000, a rec
j ord high, according to a year-end
review by the Alaska Development
1 Board, recently released.
Coupled with the Board’s sum
, mary of 1950 business and indus
trial activity was a forecast that,
brring the outbreak of world-wide
hostilities, Alaskans can look for
ward to another of the most pros
perous years in the Territory's his
tory.
Significant among 1950 develop
ments, according to the Board,
was a substantial increase in the
value of mineral production.
While all information regarding
the value o fthis basic Alaska ac
tivity is not yetr available, the
Development Board estimated it
would total about $17,500,000,
which is $2,200,000 greater than
last year and the highest level
reached since World War II.
Gold mined in 1950 increased j
almost $2,000,000 over the previ
I Six B-36’s Cross
| Atlantic On
! Training Flight
LONDON (/P)—Six of America’s
biggest bombers — B-36’s which
can tote an atom bomb 10,000
miles—thundered out of the At
lantic mists yesterday and landed
in England for the first time.
They arrived singly at I/aken
heath airdrome, 70 miles north
east of here, after a one-stop flight
of about 7,000 miles from Carswell
Air Force Base at Fort Worth,
Texas, starting last Saturday.
The 400-mile per hour air Goli
aths, powered by six regular and
tour jet engines, flew the Atlantic
after pausing at Limestone Air
Force Base in Main. Actual flying
time was about 24 hours.
They dropped some practice
I bombs enroute, the air force re
ported, without saying where,
j The flight was part of the pro
j gram for teaching navigation and
fuel consumption techniques to
the crews, an air force spokesman
said. The planes and crews are
scheduled to return home this
week end. However there have
been rumors that B-36’s would be
stationed in England because of
the worsening world situation.
Lakenheath Field has been used
by the U. S. Third Air Division
since 1948 as a base for B-2 Su
perfortresses and B-50 training op
erations.
The training mission was head
ed by Col. Thomas P. Gerrity,
commander of the 8th Air Force’s
11th Bomb Wing. The first plane
to arrive was commanded by Lt.
Col. Richard T. Blacks of Holly
wood, Cal.

while the production of non-metal
ics such as sand and gravel also
! was greater owing to the expand
